Kaarawan sa Tubig

Ika-33 kaarawan ko na sa Pebrero 1, 2008. Timing na nandito ako ngayon sa library at may kinuha si Dette na libro tungkol sa mga bdays. Sinipi ko ang ilang tala sa mga aquarians at gayundin, mga tala sa mga ipinanganak sa araw na ito. Kakaiba, parang bang totoo. Ka-birthday ko pala si Langston Hughes (playwright-poet-novelist). E anu ngayon?

"Joy is essential to the Aquarius personality. Often Aquarians baffled and bewildered by rejection, since they approach life with a basically open attitude. They can be for more accepting than others, and consequently assume that others will accept them as well, which is often not the case. Furthermore, they like things to go easily. A wish for happiness and understanding pervades everything they do, but if confronted with conflict or stressful demands they can fly off the handle, go on the attack with lightning speed or simply choose to disappear.
Aquarians are promoters of high ideals, valuing scientific and universal truths highly. They strive to maintain objectivity and for this reason are sometimes accused of coolness or lack of emotion. Because they can skate with ease across the surface of life, sizing up situations and reacting speedily, some find Aquarians too superficial in their approach. Paradoxically Aquarians are often irresistibly attracted to those profound, darker aspects of other that seem to figure less prominently in their own personality.

February 1 people are first and foremost distinguished by their strong earthly but mental nature. Not content with abstract speculations, those born on this day must impress their ideas on the minds of those around them. Headstrong, willful, courageous, they know when they are right and will not give one inch. As their mental preparations for most circumstances is thorough, and they a facile, improvisatory flair, they are able to avoid compromising situations and side step any issues which would rather not discuss. Thus they can make formidable opponents. A February 1 person is characteristically energetic and youthful, but often petulant like a child as well.

Emotional problems can plague February 1 people, particularly in their younger years. Their feelings are often scattered, impulsive and uncontrollable, and thus lead them to trouble repeatedly. More highly evolved February 1 individuals eventually integrate their many-sided talents into a well-functioning, polished persona-but this takes time. Of the qualities mentioned, in their personality hierarchy, the mental usually comes first, the sensuous second and the emotional third. The fourth important area (too often neglected), that of intuition, should be cultivated and relied on more as it can be the important cementing bond which pulls it all together for these talented but tumultuous individuals."
