Colony Tracker; herePrompt;*the Storkie sits quietly for a moment, and then begins a preternatural humming noise before they begin speaking, in a voice quite different from that they greeted you with. When their eyes flutter open, they seem to have shifted slightly... is it merely their expression or has the color actually changed? You watch intently*
Your horoscope is not a simple one, my dear, because you were born on the cusp. Neither a true Aries nor a true Taurus, you inhabit both signs, and this is the reason for your difficulties in life. You have two dueling natures inside of you, and unless you are able to bring balance to each side, this interpersonal drama will continue...
*they fade off for a moment, into silence, and then begin once more*
Your impetuous Aries nature served you well as a child. You fought for what you needed, what you knew that you deserved, but you are grown now and that headstrong spirit has brought you more trouble than good as of late. Taurus can help center you, help ground you, and allow you to apply salve to the wounds of the past. You could save your troubled relationships, begin them anew even, if only you were able to tap into the more stabilizing nature of the bull.
*you interrupt for a moment, thinking you've cracked the riddle. "So all I need to do is squash my Aries nature and live as a Taurus then?"*
No, my dear, if only it were that simple. Your spirit is of two minds. If you do not direct the fires of Aries into something near and dear to your heart, then that fire will consume you from the inside out. You can never fully douse those flames, because they burn from the very core of your nature. You may want to lose that half, for all the trouble it's caused you, but it was put there for a reason, and not just because you were once an underprivileged kit. There will come a time again when the storms of life require you to fight back ferociously, but you are not there just yet. Don't worry, everything happens for a reason and being born on the cusp is no exception.
*you look at them quizzically, beginning to understand, but still not sure of the best path forward*
I sense your hesitation, and it is rightly guided. This pause, this wavering, is a sign that the bull inside of you is stronger than I thought, because an Aries would have reacted immediately, whether in agreement or in discord, but you have not done so. I cannot tell you exactly the path to take, only how you should go about looking for it. I know there are things that you love and care deeply about, goals you have toward changing the world, outside of your family and friend group, things that you would do if all of them had disappeared. Those are the things that require your fire, your passion, and your headstrong determination. Those are the things that you can safely invest that Aries energy into. But with your family, with your friends, tread gently and carefully in those fields, for your loved ones are more sensitive than you know.
