Being a Twin

Just how much truth is there in horoscopes?  Not the ones that try and predict your day to day fortune,  or ones that try and state how happy you will or will not be,  or how a stranger, who I am still waiting for incidentally, will enter and change your romantic life forever.  I am more interested to understand is there a bases behind some of the personality traits that horoscopes claim I should have?

I have tried to gauge this from observing some of my friends and family who are also Gemini's, yes I am a twin, but in all this time I failed to fathom whether or not they display these traits or not.  I am convinced that they were born actually later in the year but their parents had inadvertently registered them as a May/June baby thus creating a conflict with their personality trait, horoscopically (no you wont find this word in the dictionary I just invented it) that is, which has largely led to an internal conflict thus forcing the person into totally conflicting behaviour or so I am assuming.  

To put it in perspective, I know people who first look at the persons birthdate, not to calculate age, but to actually figure out under which sign the person is born so they can check if the person is likely to have a good working relationship or not.  So I am intrigued by this question because, if it is true, in it is the potential answer to resolving all our conflicts.

So according to the charts I should have the following personality traits, good communicator, curious, alert, constantly moving, changing ideas and ability to solve problems.  Good careers are PRO, scientist, writer or sales agent.   I cannot deny that I, if I may be so bold, have each one of these traits even if only in minuscule quantities.  But what I can attest to is this that there are a large number of other traits that I have observed in myself and I suspect can be observed in other "true" Gemini's.

Gemini's never get lonely, there are two of us inside here, and we are quite happy to converse and even argue with each other and, contrary to popular belief, yes you can loose an argument with yourself.  Gemini's can and will support both sides in a sporting event which seems to get on the nerves of certain fans especially those of Premier League ilk.  Gemini's may also occasionally, or should I say often, ok ok frequently come up with jokes that can be only understood by the other twin, leaving others, who are unfortunate enough not to be born a Gemini, wondering what the heck is going on.  Gemini's seem to get things that other don't and I think this is because there are two of us and thus can safely say Gemini's do MULTI-TASK! 

So, if like me, you are fortunate enough to be born a Gemini you can be grateful that you are born under what is probably the coolest sign in the Zodiac and not only that but you can be proud to be a mathematical conundrum ..... :-)

    If Geminis 'don't get lonely' how come they sit and wait for someone to enter their lives? Why then express the need?

A Friend Indeed - The Second Leg

I am happy and sad at the same time.  Happy, because I had strengthened the bond that binds us and sad because I had had to leave home for the next stage of my journey, and it is never easy to take leave from the love and warmth of home, but go I must. Back on the paved road I head towards Springbok and after refueling the car, on towards Cape Town.  The road winding its way through the mountains.  Kamieskroon, Garies, Verhynsdorp, Klawer, Clan William, Citrusdal, Piketberg and Moorreesburg, towns seemingly forgotten along the way, before the familiar Malmesbury and Cape Town. A distance of some six hundred kilometres. Mouille Point, Cape Town.  A fresh wind blows across the parking lot.  The smell of the ocean assaults my senses.  The apartment is modern and tastefully furnished but it is the balcony which becomes my haven.  An early morning cup of coffee overlooking the most stunning of beach fronts is very hard to beat. A trip to Franschoek wi...

A Surprise...

Although I have been surprised on many occasions in my life, very few have left an impression on me. There are even fewer where i can admit that i have been at a complete loss for words. On Wednesday I was surprised, pleasantly I might add, but to such an extent that I was, for a significant amount of time, at a complete loss for words. A friend of mine, that I had not seen in the last thirty years, and I arranged to meet at Sandton City for a cup of coffee.  Walking through Nelson Mandela Square, i could not help but notice, that all the restaurants were filled with tourists from all over the globe who had come to our beautiful country to share in the World Cup experience.  The chatter of people in various tongues contributed to the cosmopolitan atmosphere that prevailed in the square. We made our way to a coffee shop and proceeded to catch up on the last thirty years.  It was fascinating listening and chatting about how our lives had turned out.  It occurred to...

To Belong....

Being a member of the human race, it is only natural to want to belong.  It is, I guess, a natural instinct that we, as social creatures, are born with.  This instinct is so strong in us, that we often assume some definition of what we should be in order to have a sense of belonging. The right of passage rituals that are prevalent in so many cultures, epitomizes this instinct to belong. When an adolescent is asked to participate in a right of passage ritual, it marks the end of childhood and the beginning of adulthood.  These rituals serve to create a bond, through the common shared experience, that entrenches the sense of belonging for a lifetime. Religion does exactly the same and the binding force behind religion is a common belief system.  Religions go a bit further as they often dictate a certain code of conduct, behavior and dress code that should be followed.  This further strengthens the sense of belonging. Race, country of origin, clubs, social ci...
