HOROSCOPE BREAKDOWN

Something told me to check my horoscope profile today. I love horoscopes but don't believe in the predictions in magazines & whatnot; they always put something so broad that it could pertain to anybody. I do, however, believe that people do live up to their signs. Or most of it. I used to be into astrology when I was younger & wanted to read palms. I'm still very intrigued by people & their signs but aren't proactively doing anything about it at the moment. But anyhoos, I'm a Capricorn & here's a breakdown of different aspects of my life. I'll let you know what is & isn't true. A deeper look into the life of Hanh...

POSITIVE QUALITIES:
You are a tireless worker, to the point of self-martyrdom. You'll do any and all work assigned to you, so that you can impress your superiors and gradually move up the ladder. You will eventually gain more and more status and wealth, but it takes a long time. That's okay with you, though—you've always understood this.

Hanh: Completely true. I do all work assigned & never really complain. Well, sometimes, but not to my boss. And nobody mentioned to me that it's gonna take a long time. Thanks alot!

Chances are, you come from a poor background—like the baby Jesus—and you decided early on that you would work as hard as you could to improve your standing for your family. In fact, you have an innate fear of poverty, so much so that once you've achieved a rank or two in the world you will fight to the death to keep it.

Hanh: also true. I do come from a poor background & I'm always thinking about making enough money so that my parents wouldn't have to work anymore. I don't know about a fear of poverty... Doesn't everybody not like being poor? I dunno about fight to the death but I know I'm not gonna blow my money.

This is also in keeping with your far-thinking approach to life, as determined by the slow-moving Saturn. You plan, plan, plan. You save, save, save. One would think you a dour person for all this work, but you have your moments of joy— after all, the words saturnalia and bacchanalia apply to you, and both define wild abandon.

Hanh: also true. I plan & save. I'm very particular about everything. I plan what I'm going to do for tomorrow the night before; I plan what I'm going to cook at what moment so that everything is done at the same time & according to Actor I take forever to prep when I eat. haha. Like I'll unwrap a burger, put it on top of the bag that it came in, open the ketchup packages & put it on the side... I do have my crazy & spontaneous moments though: i.e. getting a tattoo & my belly button pierced in 10th grade while out one night with friends. Never thought about doing it before that moment. Wait, was that legal? I was under 18...

You probably already know a lot about sacrifice. You were the one who stayed up caring for a sick relative when you were a kid, instead of playing with your friends. You're the one who keeps the family together, in fact, when members drift off. You're the glue, the controlling force in this world. Without you, it would simply fall apart.

Hanh: I don't know about that part. Well, I guess I'm the glue that keeps my parents together but our family don't really talk to each other so... eh. It's not that well put together. I'm a cheap dollar store glue...

Similarly, you have a great sense of tradition. You respect what you've inherited, and you believe in cherishing it and handing it down in the same state or better. Be it a grandparent's locket or the oral history of the family, it's safe with you.

Hanh: very true. I AM 60% traditional & 40% new. I love being Vietnamese & sharing/ comparing different things with Actor all the time. I also am very particular about keeping up with things. I hate when anything breaks or doesn't work anymore. My parents have appliances/ electronic stuff from 15 years ago that still works...

Like your neighboring signs, Sagittarius and Aquarius, you are proudly intellectual. But you're not as argumentative as a Sagittarius. Yours is a quieter wisdom—if you know you're right, you don't believe you have to get into an all-out war just for the show of it. The truth will win out.

Hanh: very true. I hate arguing. Hate it. If anyone gets loud I'd probably just walk away. Not that I can't stand my ground, just that I don't feel like wasting my time & energy being loud & arguing with you. Especially if I'm right. Me, Actor & Q have grammar disagreements sometimes & I'm always right 99% of the time. I DO rub it into people's faces sometimes though. haha.

For this reason, you make an excellent teacher. In fact, you see the world as very structured, and as you gain rank in the system, you believe in teaching those below you. If you are a teacher, you're probably very strict. It's not due to malevolence, just a strong sense of tradition, of wisdom, of right and wrong, of the merits of hard work.

Hanh: I wanted to be a teacher all the way from 1st grade to the first semester of my senior year... I then changed my mind. Don't feel like I can deal with all them bad kids. I'd probably get arrested for tasering somebody's child. haha (just kidding! Or am I? Hmm...) I'd be a half & half teacher though. I'd expect you to do your work but still cut you some slack, only if I see you trying. Can't help those who don't help themselves. Something my teachers used to say that I completely believe in: "I don't give out Fs, you earn them."
