Grace, you might find your lunar sign to be interesting too
your comp is using solar and it gives a great picture when placed together I'll try and come back if I can come up with one

here is a link to calculate lunar signs

Thank you Miki for pointing that out. It will accord participants with more room for exploration and creativity. It seems my moonsign is Pisces. How interesting!

Indeed!

Day and Night

They claim a Sagitarian
Is untamable by nature
a seeker of adventure
and the truths underlying everything
an intellectual rebel with a cause
that'll probably change often

the solar chart has me half pegged
like the sun itself
sharing the sky
with a counterpart
a contrast that helps compare
without a divide

my lunar sign is Cancer
a compassionate carer
thriving on structure and responsibly
wise in pursuit of what matters

sounds like opposing forces
facing down the challenge
of harmony and balance
a volatile mix of extremes

and that sounds about right
the phases of me in
this thing called life

but all of us?

Sunshine fire sign Sags, we flash, bang, boom, and fade away.
Happens all the time.
I mean, my phases of personal feelings of greatness always flare up then kind of just... fizzle.

We're good pals to have; nice people, funny, analytical, honest, like to protect the ones we trust.
Fine parents sometimes, though, better at loving a grown-up:
Yeah, better at that than giving children the elements they need to be balanced.
Because, we are not always very balanced.
But we have the capacity to be superiorly loyal when we've got the real thing;
need space and give it freely, we're peacekeepers, but prone to flare,
then accept, move on, and sometimes grow.
They do say 'whatever facade [we] adopt', we're utter romantics at heart.
We prefer to maintain this is bullshit.

We like doing stuff.
We like sex, adventure, work... Well, work that we enjoy -- not too much routine.
We're youthful in general, but need some travel, philosophy, abstract concepts to keep us occupied;
Hey, we're witty, mischievous, expressive, opinionated...
no wonder our egos bruise when we're brushed off.
We tend to value energy and intellect, some sort of spirituality, another level,
always want to know, but only truth
though our deep downs tell us no one will ever really get to the bottom of it all.
Curious bastards we may be.

My ascentions, numerous oppositions, conjunctions, are crazy for freedom and independence
and pretty sure it's Venus says I'm happiest abroad.
I'm not a dominator but won't be crushed; 'first mate' is my forte.
Compassion, sensitivity to suffering, true... animals make me happy.
They say I might misrepresent myself leaving too much room for misinterpretation, but I see past your paint;
it's nature for me to get to core.  
They couldn't know naivety's likely compromised my particular size-up radar for wanting to see better.   
Apparently, I spend a lot of time mastering my emotions.
I prefer to maintain this is bullshit.
Maybe it's all bullshit.

But it's a nice thought:
That the stars we're made of might have more to do in the universe
than be.

thanks for running such a fun competition, Grace. i love personality profiles. just got a brain-bulb for personality assumption profiles in a comp... where we observe and pen up someone else based on one assumption or another. [:

Thank you everyone for your participation. The entries were awesome and it was quite a task choosing the winner. I had help from non DU friends however.
Jessica, congratulations! EngrVV and Viddax your respective entries are a pleasure to read. Thank you.
