Lo and behold it was somewhat of a shock to discover the reason behind my motivations– not Libran love of debate, but rather Scorpion love of truth. I fight hard for what I believe not because I enjoy the fight (which exhausts me) but because I believe it (and am fixed as a rock in that regard).

However since Libra also lies on the cusp of my 5th, which houses my Sun, Mercury, Eros, Neptune and Vertex– all heavily aspected– Libra energy colours my world in a huge way. I see both sides of the story always, and wish I didn’t, sometimes.

So although I am of fixed Scorpio intent and opinion, I vacillate like a Libra between energies, and the creative (5th house) expression of those energies.

taurus rules my suns house and one thing taurus definitely is to me, is a PRECONDITION for functioning. it indeed ‘houses’ Bis as i know her and thus certain taurus standards must be met, rather like an appellation taureau contrôlée my mind and my gemininess cant flit about and do its thing. cant attain the boredom cures i need if i dont have my basic psyche primed and watered: all my senses- aesthetic surroundings, comfortable threads. its like mercury is in venus’s clothing, we need a fertile edenic settings in order to function otherwise if we are living in squalor (or wharton’s Lily-”the dinge!!”) functioning at any level becomes a weighty chore..fatigued, agitated, the works.

also, while flighty i have one major stubbornness that underpins tout which is refusal to change my way of living or apologize or revoke it either for friends or to perform better in society, all very vivre sa vie. otherwise im all balking and passivity.

i will only mention one last thing so t’inquiete, rar. it may be taurus cusp that colors the nature of my thoughts bc they all hinge on some sort of aesthetic and emotional lushness. nothing dry intellectual. in a literal sense i create a whole identity around say a headband. a certain self image w/ its own emotional reference and setting, like one film of many vignettes. and as gemini i have kaleidoscopic identities. i am too much living..in my mind lol.

to paraphrase what i read somewhere about Gem/Taurus cusp it is like tons of maserati spinning around the autobahn. not to self aggrandize thats what ‘they said’.
one thing thats for sure, its bad for the finances. tsktsktsk.

So in summary,like the original poster noticed, it seems that the rest of my chart may create the “cusp sign” influence more than being born close to the cusp sign.
