Celestial Sunday

People see astrology as pseudo-science and some even would even say that it is the work of the devil.  Neither science nor art, I see zodiac signs as part of the  ancient mysteries of the world.  The stars and planets exist  -- they are as real as you and me; and I like the thought of these twinkling balls of gases having stories to tell.  

Cancer is a water sign and Virgo is earth.  The mingling of these two characters often results to a very nurturing relationship.  Water nourishes earth as much as earth encapsulates water and together, growth and new life springs forth.   

It must have been a trial by fire last Sunday when I met Mr.Crab's significant other.  After three years of living in singledom, it was nice to see, Mr. Crab in  that giddy schoolboy expression once more.

Prior to our lunch date, I had an overview about  Ms. Virgo  when Mr. Crab and I had coffee at some over-rated café.  I probably have summoned the correct forces of nature because I was able to hide my curiosity and the busy ambiance provided distraction.  “She is different”,  my brooding ego was smiling while caressing her lower chin just as my psycho ego presented various pictures of the ex-girlfriends and pulled up the graph entitled, “Patterns of Behaviour”.  This change is mighty interesting.  

I was rushing inside the mall because I hate to be late on such a special event and thankfully, being late for an hour is still considered fashionable. “This is it! The first impression”, my gleeful id was jumping as I entered a very busy buffet restaurant.  Seated at the right side corner were two anxious people.  I hugged Mr. Crab and presented my right hand to Ms. Virgo as we say our pleasantries. 

Ms. Virgo was under the watchful eye of my inner goddess, “Long black hair, rosy medium-toned skin, expressive eyes and a sincere yet shy smile”, she said appreciatively at the beauty in front of her and she almost flipped when she noticed her waist, “some women are sooooo lucky”, she pouted.  “She is a stunner!” 

“How did you manage to ensnare Mr. Crab?”  I asked my sane self still in awe as we attack the buffet tables.  Amused with the scenario, I sashayed myself to the beckoning strips of raw salmon.  Mr. Crab was recalling some of our adventures and my misadventures --“Ms. Pisces this and Ms. Pisces that” when  the zodiac sign compatibility topic cropped up.  I gave an excuse about my crystal ball yet in my mind, the compatibility report was done. While my subconscious was reading it out loud,  I felt the my tension gently ebbing away because...  

“Virgo and Cancer

 When Cancer and Virgo make a love match, a strong, down-to-earth relationship with staying power is the happy result. This is a relationship with great potential to get better and better over the passing years. Both Cancer and Virgo are goal-oriented and disciplined. They are sincere and devoted to one another and share a strong sense of purpose. No lightweight love here: These two were not really built for flings! Cancer and Virgo deeply admire one another: Virgo respects Cancer’s quiet strength and dedication while Cancer appreciates Virgo’s keen adaptability and intelligence.”
