The Friendship Sign
I once had a friend named Mara who was very into astrology. She would analyze all of our personalities by our astrological signs. Our friend, Amber, was an Aries - a fire sign, and that explained her quick temper and the passionate way that she pursued everything in life. She didn’t just like our school, she loved it so much she volunteered all sorts of clinics and projects so that she could land herself a job there soon after our graduation. Doreen was an Aquarius, a water sign. That’s why she was so hippy dippy and always needed to be outside hiking, jogging, kayaking or snowboarding. She was a free spirit. Crystal, a Virgo, was the perfect lawyer-to-be: organized, goal oriented, detailed and critical. When she worked out she would whisper to herself, “Faster, fatface! You wanna lose that fat ass you need to make it burn!” But for myself, a Scorpio, I wasn’t so convinced.
