Always falling for the bad guy? Keep missing those telltale signs? According to Adele Lang & Susi Rajah's book How To Spot A B*Stard By His Star Sign some men are simply destined to be complete gits

Some men might seem like natural-born b*stards. Other will appear to have grown into the role over a period of time and a life of hard knocks. Don't be fooled. As far as men and their less-appealing characteristics go, genetic make-up and social conditioning have got absolutely nothing to do with it. Put simply, all men are b*stards by dint of their star signs.

* Aries Boy does he yearn for the times when men were men and women were grateful.
* Leo A complete bloody nightmare
* Sagitarrius Past philosphers used a comforting tool: 'I think, therefore I am not Sagittarius'.
* Taurus A typically stubborn Taurean male always knows better than a female. Even when he doesn't.
* Virgo If you're looking for a man that no other woman will ever want to steal, you've finally found him.
* Capricorn The heart of a loan shark, the humour of an undertaker and the sensitivity of a tax auditor.
* Gemini Gemini b*astards are completely and utterly mad.
* Libra Life is getting more complex. The half-flush or the full-flush? The stress is unbelievable.
* Aquarius He seems like any normal bloke. Don't be fooled, the Aquarius is about as 'normal' as a pig with wings.
* Cancer Used to sneak his mother's Barbara Cartland novels when normal boys were shoplifting Hustler.
* Scorpio A sneaky, nasty, controlling b*stard, a master manipulator and a world-class pervert.
* Pisces Quite simply Pisces is a pathological liar.

Aries
English is his second language, grunting is his first. And all he can grunt about is himself, his career, his sporting achievements and how feminists would be a lot less uptight if he gave them a good shag. If the b*stard you fancy puts on Vivaldi in the evening, whips up a nice little souffle a deux and then settles down to read Jane Austen to you, he's almost certainly gay and he's definitely not Aries.

Leo
His entrance will always be preceded with a drum roll. If you miss his entrance you'll find him already strategically positioned under a spotlight. You can't miss him there - not with the two game show hostesses on either side of him pointing him out. You might also notice The Hand Of God above his head scrawling a cloudy message in the air: women of the world, my gift to you. Regards, God. Do the deed on the third date. You'll need to do something to avoid hearing his life story again and sex will shut him up nicely.

Sagittarius
Sagittarius does everything back to front. He speaks before he thinks, leaps before he looks and loves you only after you have left him. Which is why when people say Sagittarius is a lucky b*stard, they're dead right. the fact you haven't murdered him yet is a miracle. Blessed with the smarts of a particularly backward brontosaurus and the sort of sexual appetite that even Caligula would deem excessive, the Sagittarian b*stard is compatible with very few women. Not because he's fussy - he's not. It's just that most women prefer a man who thinks with his brain.

Taurus
As the zodiac's number one control freak, Taurus knows what's good for you. Even though he patently isn't. Paradoxically, when he's not running - and therefore ruining - your life, the Taurean b*stard is busy being chronically lazy. His sloth-like ways do not bode well for what we will generously describe as your 'sex-life' with him. If you find yourself with a Taurus our only advice here is to make the most of your rapidly deteriorating mental health by raving like a maniac. That means he'll be forced to stop doing likewise and be helpful for once by rushing round trying to find you a good psychiatrist.

Virgo
Ever wondered what goes on in the mind of a serial killer? Find out what Interpol has been trying to discover for years and date a Virgo b*stard. If you are currently in love with a Virgo and you don't want to believe the truth, pick up any detective novel that features an ice-pick-wielding nutter and then try telling us he doesn't remind you of someone you know and it's all just a bunch of coincidences. If he looks vaguely familiar, that's because he is. You probably saw an artist's sketchy impression on Crimewatch the night before and faintly remember words like 'bludgeoned', 'manhunt' and 'Virgo'.

Capricorn
Capricorn takes everything seriously. He is hard-working and ambitious. He wants to get married and raise a family. He has no problem with the concept and implementation of commitment. He'll even be faithful to you - although this can't be guaranteed as he is a man. But there is a catch. Before whisking you off into the sunset, he has to check your credit rating. And no, he's not joking. He never jokes about money, or anything else come to think of it.

Gemini
A Gemini b*stard has many demons - a multitude of personalities living inside him, each of whom qualifies as a b*stard in his own right. Because Gemini lives amid this turmoil he will continually change his ideas and opinions. What he says today won't mean anything tomorrow and it probably didn't mean much today either. You could see this as a natural result of him having to deal with his conflicting personalities. Or you could see this as a result of him being a two-faced, two-timing, lying b*stard.


Libra
Charmingly boyish, well-dressed - with the nicely blow-dried hair and a vacant look on his face. Not much more than a large Ken doll with movable limbs, he's only appealing to women still under the age of eight. Anyone older will see that he is plastic and empty, with a preference for unrealistically proportioned women. Because he is completely shallow, he lacks the depth required to make a decision or a commitment. The Libra b*stard will never make either.

Aquarius
Aquarius is the most reasonable b*stard you'll ever encounter. In his mind every viewpoint gets a hearing, every belief system has some legitimacy. This, in turn, could lead you to think he is actually more morally superior and ethically sound than the rest of his male peers. Don't be fooled. It makes him different from the other eleven b*stards, not better. Look in the little rubber boats that chase Japanese whaling ships or leaky oil tankers; there'll be at least one half-drowned Aquarius on board. Find him attractive and he'll be completely oblivious to your existence. Ignore him and he'll be all over you.

Cancer
Any boy should have the decency to look visibly embarrassed when Mummy combs his hair and wipes his face with a hanky laced with her own spit. When he's thirty-eight. However we're not talking about a grown man here, are we? We're talking about Cancer. It doesn't actually matter whether you are compatible with a Cancer b*stard. Getting on with him isn't half as important as getting on with the woman who reared him. After all, she's the one responsible for making him the fine figure of a man that he is definitely not today.

Scorpio
Any relationship of any length with a Scorpio b*stard is guaranteed to wreck your emotional health, your self-esteem or, at the very least, your enjoyment of life. Scorpio makes Darth Vader look like Mr Whippy. He'll hold a grudge against you until the day you die. Say you flirt harmlessly with a work colleague of his at the office Christmas party. It won't cross your mind that Scorpio is upset about it until one fine day three years later when he retaliates by sleeping with your maid of honour and your sister just hours before he marries you.

Pisces
Because he's at the arse-end of the zodiac, Pisces is often referred to as the astrological 'rubbish tip'. What this means is he has a little bit of all b*stards in him, which therefore makes him a b*stard twelve times over. This in turn means he's obliged to tell massive fibs so you won't find out the awful truth. Obviously, the quicker off the mark you are, the sooner you'll spot the yawning chasm between fact and ficton and faster you can drop him. Because to be honest, once the thrill of catching him out wears off, you'll begin to resent being a full-time lie0detector on legs.

and I've found their addresses....and now, I plot my revenge.

[intruder]

I was in a relationship with a conservative, controlling, Capricorn woman. A real LOOKER though!! Forgive me for being a shallow bastard there...
anyway, I'd been seeing her for about a year and half. We went to a wedding of long time friend of mine. At the reception I reluctantly agreed to a slow dance with her. things are going smoothly on the dance floor, kisses, nibbles...that kind of thing. She then whispered the words of doom in my ear..."when are WE getting married?" To which I responded "looks like never. you can stay and meet some more of my friends if you like, give them a shot if ya' want. have a good night, Oh yeah....and good bye!!!" Shallowness gave way to depth.

true! the interplay is interesting. and of course, the aforementioned book is purposefully shallow, which is a shame.

Inventor/scientist Arthur M Young shocked me when I found his "Nested Time - An Astrological Autobiography". He was skilled in drawing charts and brought his scientific mind to the topic.

How about the discovery of Pluto, the "ruler" of Scorpio, in 1930? some equated that with the rise of dictators, the "underworld", and organized crime etc. Arthur chose to see it coinciding with the rise of quantum mechanics, which ties in with Scorpio as "transformation", and a metaphorical "underworld"

Well according to my birthdate, I'm an Aries but the chart said I had Libra in there rising (I think) :confused: It confused me reading the chart, to be honest.

[alrick888]

You mean there is actually a book out with that title?

Of course, a book entitled "How you can spot a screeching b*tch by her star sign" would be unthinkable.

Which kind of b*stard do you prefer, astralgirl?

Is there a website, so I don't have to read/buy the book? :D:D

[astral_girl]

Linda Goodman has been the last word in astrology and horoscopes for as long as I can remember. "Love Signs" is no exception, at a whopping 944 pages, this book contains everything you'd want to know about how to find the love compatibility sign right for you. Linda Goodman horoscopes have given us the answers to career, raising children, and every other aspect of using astrology as a guide for our lives since she first started compiling the information decades ago.

Horray for Linda Goodman, Love Signs provides an adventure as Goodman writes about formulating and drawing into your life the perfect match-or at the very least an interesting date-based on the sun sign of the person best suited for you. If your relationship is in the beginning stages, use this book to guide you through some of the harder questions during this time of the relationship, such as how to argue effectively with your Scorpio mate (good luck) or what not to bring up around a Virgo (anything you're not sure of). Along with the more serious questions, like "why are some people so emotionally unavailable and why do I keep choosing them?"

Based predominantly on the sun signs, Linda continues to advocate for finding out your intendeds entire chart background; moon signs and the positions of other stars, in order to get the clearest picture of whom you are spending time with. This bedside book is just plain good reading, written with humor and insight.

Take for instance two of the signs in astrology, Sagittarius and Gemini. The Gemini loves to debate, however this typically presents as argumentative. The Sagittarius likes to keep moving and is hard to pin down, but not because they are constantly thinking the grass is greener, they just like adventure. If you like to stay at home (Cancer?) The Sagittarius in the office may not be the best match for you. Linda Goodman horoscopes will walk you through the steps to deciding which sign is the best bet to pursue and give you a laugh in the meantime-a classic book on astrology.

Nice pic. Have read articles over the years, saying Pisces are the most psychic/intuitive of the signs, although other water signs may share the same traits. I've had many experiences. My mum and her dad aslo share the same sign as me, what does that mean astrologicaly, and does it effect my abilities, personality etc? I don't know much about Signs astrology etc.

[intruder]

I've always found Pisces to be most affable and good natured. I really do believe there is something to transits and arcs and that the moment of your birth IS significant on the micro and macro level.

The Twelve Schools, Colleges and
Challenges of Life

Capricorn "I Use"

Developing a RIght Relationship to how you use things and people in life. The positive aspect would be, how can I use this to help others as well as myself.

Aquarius "I know"

The key challenge of Aquarius is developing that deeper inner knowing that goes beyond faith.

Pisces "I believe"

The key challenge of Pisces is coming to a right relationship to self and God in terms of one's beliefs.

Aries - "I am"

The challenge of Aries is coming to a right relationship to self, and understanding one's true identity. Is your identity in your personality, body, what you do, or the content of consciousness; or is it as the "I", the consciousness, the chooser, the soul, the spiritual being?

Key lessons are coordination, conservation of energy and completion.

Taurus - "I have"

The key challenge of Taurus is coming to a right relationship to the things you have or possessions. Is your identity in the things you have, or do you have the proprer involvment but detachment?

Gemini - "I think"

The key challenge in Gemini is developing a right relationship to your mind. Are you master of your mind, or is your mind your master/.'Gemini deals with the twins, the dual force of opposition between heavenly and earthly energies. The lesson is to harmonize one's spiritual an earthly life.

Cancer - "I feel"

The key challenge here is to develop a right relationship to one's feelings or emotions. Is there the understanding that it is your thoughts that cause your feelings and emotions? Are your feelings and emotions under your control or are they running you?

Leo "I will" (22/7 - 22/8)

The key challenge here is in developing a right relationship to the use of will or power in one's life. Is power used in a top dog manner for dominion over others and to keep self always in the limelight? Or can power and will be used in a spiritual manner for unconditional love, equality, and for the highest good of all concerned?

The key lessons of the Leo are impersonal love, coming from the heart, detachment, and serving the Spiritual Self rather than the ego self.

( Just as writing this I hear on TV - "the Trout is the perfect hunter - master of realm. Only one way to catch it - turn power of hunter against himself - entice the trouts instincts to strike - with a fly. But then prey fights back - hook: power without caution is death" ) 8:15pm 12/01/02 Sky One UK

Virgo (22/8 - 22/9)

The key challenge of Virgo is developing a right relationship to analyzing mind. In its proper usage there is the ability to correlate, digest, and collect facts in service of a spiritual purpose.

The key lesson is being more loving rather than negative and critical.

Libra (22 Sept - 22 Oct) "I balance"

The key challenge of Libra is the balancing of inner and outer worlds. The sign of Libra focuses on relationships. There is the need to be involved with life but not lose self in a relationship or life in general.

Positive: friendly, outgoing, conscientious, just, will to do good, cooperative, focus on marriage, love, cohesiveness, travel, diplomatic.
Danger Areas are: people pleaser, and seeking approval from others, dominating underneath.

Scorpio 22October - 22 Nov - "I Create"

The key challenge of Scorpio is developing a right relationship to one's creative energies. Do your creative energies serve your personality or egotistical self, or Higher-Spiritual - self?

Sagittarius 22 Nov - 22 Dec - "I Perceive"

The key challenge here is the development of inution and understanding of the higher mind and spiritual aspects of life.

Friendly, outgoing, optimistic, extroverted, sports, gambling, takes chances, independent, future focused, travel, direct.

Lower: Superficial, procrastination, nervous, tactless

thanks....interesting that your mum and your mums dad is the same im not sure what it means..........
yes pisces tend to be intuitive.....it is also a kind of dualistic sign-as u can see from the pic the fish swim in opposite directions...you are mutable sign..very versatile and a good communicator-rules by jupiter -Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. It is also the most influential factor when the general quality of one`s life is concerned. Known as the planet of luck, Jupiter is responsible for all the success, fortune, intellect and religious aspects of our lives. Jupiter signifies high ambitions, knowledge and accomplishments. Consequently, it is a prominent planet in charts of successful priests, religious leaders, politicians, and people pursuing deep knowledge. Its influence in expansion, growth and opportunity in one`s life is the most important deciding factor.

Thanks astral_girl interesting. Given me a confidence boost :cool: Unless that's just the positive aspects lol :eek: If it is I don't wanna know the other stuff:D

THE MOON AND THE HANGED MAN -2 tarot cards that represent pisces THE HANGED MAN.....................;)

Basic Card Symbols

A man hanging by one foot from a Tau cross - sometimes from a bar or tree. His free leg is always bent to form a "4," his face is always peaceful, never suffering. Sometimes his hands are bound, sometimes they dangle. Sometimes coins fall out of his pockets or hands.

Basic Tarot Story

The Fool settles beneath a tree, intent on finding his spiritual self. There he stays for nine days, without eating, barely moving. People pass by him, animals, clouds, the wind, the rain, the stars, sun and moon. On the ninth day, with no conscious thought of why, he climbs a branch and dangles upside down like a child, giving up for a moment, all that he is, wants, knows or cares about. Coins fall from his pockets and as he gazes down on them - seeing them not as money but only as round bits of metal - everything suddenly changes perspective. It is as if he's hanging between the mundane world and the spiritual world, able to see both. It is a dazzling moment, dreamlike yet crystal clear. Connections he never understood before are made, mysteries are revealed.

But timeless as this moment of clarity seems, he realizes that it will not last. Very soon, he must right himself, and when he does, things will be different. He will have to act on what he's learned. For now, however, he just hangs, weightless as if underwater, observing, absorbing, seeing.

Basic Tarot Meaning

With Neptune (or Water) as its planet, the Hanged Man is perhaps the most fascinating card in the deck. It reflects the story of Odin who offered himself as a sacrifice in order to gain knowledge. Hanging from the world tree, wounded by a spear, given no bread or mead, he hung for nine days. On the last day, he saw on the ground runes that had fallen from the tree, understood their meaning, and, coming down, scooped them up for his own. All knowledge is to be found in these runes.

The Hanged Man, in similar fashion, is a card about suspension, not life or death. This is a time of trial or meditation, selflessness, sacrifice, prophecy. The Querent stops resisting; instead he makes himself vulnerable, sacrifices his position or opposition, and in doing so, gains illumination. Answers that eluded him come clear, solutions to problems are found. He sees the world differently, has almost mystical insights. This card can also imply a time when everything just stands still, a time of rest and reflection before moving on. Things will continue on in a moment, but for now, they float, timeless.

Thirteen's Observations

Neptune is spirituality, dreams, psychic abilities, and the Hanged Man is afloat in these. He is also 12, the opposite of the World card, 21. With the World card you go infinitely out. With the Hanged Man, you go infinitely in.

This card signifies a time of insight so deep that, for a moment, nothing but that insight exists. All Tarot readers have such moments when we see, with absolute clarity, the whole picture, the entire message offered by a spread. The Hanged Man symbolizes such moments of suspension between physical and mystical worlds. Such moments don't last, and they usually require some kind of sacrifice. Sacrifice of a belief or perspective, a wish, dream, hope, money, time or even selfhood. In order to gain, you must give. Sometimes you need to sacrifice cherished positions, open yourself to other truths, other perspectives in order to find solutions, in order to bring about change. One thing is certain, whether the insight is great or small, spiritual or mundane, once you have been the Hanged Man you never see things quite the same.
