Okay, did you see Silver Linings Playbook? If you didn't, you need to — it's a really
good movie, really unique and interesting. But the main character, Bradley Cooper's character,
Pat Solitano — he's just so Gemini. This is the sign of the twins, after all, so it's
got a reputation for being two-faced, and that's just how this guy is — he's incredibly
sweet one minute, and in a rage the next. He's got this really intelligent, sensitive
side to him, very self-aware, but then he can also just be this total BEEP! I mean,
what a fascinating character. And then, Scorpio, well — this sign has its own reputation,
if you know what I'm saying; so Jennifer Lawrence playing a sex addict...well, need I say more?
And her character — so complicated, so mysterious, just like a Scorpio. And these two characters
have such an up-and-down, complex relationship — and they're all over each other; they
can't keep their hands off each other. Which is definitely coming from the Scorpio side
— Jennifer Lawrence's character is very much a femme fatale, and Bradley Cooper, he's
just fascinated by her. But in real life... Well, this connection can certainly be all-consuming,
just like it is in the movie. But it's a fated connection — a karmic one — which might
sound like a good thing, but, well, not so much. Gemini and Scorpio are quincunx — that's
a hard aspect in Astrology — and it means there just isn't anything in common between
these two. Nothing holding them together — no glue, and not even any sexy friction, if you
know what I mean. It's more like two signs looking at each other and just scratching
their heads in confusion. When two signs that are quincunx fall in love, there's a lot of
karma wrapped up in it — they've come together to sort something out. So it can feel like
a really important relationship, but also a really difficult one. I wouldn't be surprised
if, after the credits roll at the end of the movie, if the cameras kept rolling, we'd see
Pat Solitano and Tiffany Maxwell start having just wicked fights. And in that match, Scorpio's
going to win every time. Gemini's got a way with words, sure — Gemini knows how to get
in the sharp little jabs, the barbs that will enrage Scorpio and get under their skin — but
Scorpio's fighting to the death. That sign is seriously intense. And Gemini just...isn't.
After a while, Gemini would probably get bored of all the angst and drama, and just walk
away to find something a little more...fun.
