Astrological Support Traits

There are always times in our lives when we need a “little help from our friends”. Times when we do not know where to turn, when the boyfriend refuses to call, the mother in law nags, the roof needs fixing, the garden needs weeding, and the bank manager needs talking to.

Who do we turn to on such occasions, often our friends? But it is useful to know what sign they are so we can “predict” what their reaction to our problems will be.

ARIES SUPPORT

When the local constabulary is banging on your door, fiery Aries might buy you an air ticket out the country! But don’t ask them to listen to anything regarding inner emotional angst. They are proactive, challenge inspires them, emotional misery does not. Moan too much about your problems and they will be the ones who need support!

TAURUS SUPPORT

Earthy Taurus “digs” practical support systems. Cross about the work injustices you are going through, they will be only be too pleased to help you write up your new CV. They will even buy you dinner at a great curry house, as long as you don’t forget to bring them a thank you “choc box!”

GEMINI SUPPORT

Airy Gemini will be supportive until they start wise-cracking! If you refer to a break up and say “I have been such a fool” they will tend to agree with you! They are elusive, so they might not answer their mobile if you call too frequently! They could crack tactless jokes to ease the mental tension of seeing you tearing your hair out!

CANCER SUPPORT

Watery Cancers will cheer you up “cooing” and making chicken soup. They will hover, act like a mother hens and insist you buy a new electric blanket. As you moan on about the problems you are faced they will “tut tut” and nod their heads in sympathy. If you do not take their advice however, they could be inclined to sulk and crabby repartee!

LEO SUPPORT

Sunny Leo will help you with “larger than life” support. As they ply you with gifts to ease your pain they will sob on about the huge struggles they too are facing. You will be so relieved you don’t have their problems, that you will feel much better. In the end it will be you who is stroking them and saying “there there!”

VIRGO SUPPORT

Virgos idea of support is sorting out your filing system, and tidying up your wardrobe. They will do everything they can to help you when it comes to material matters, but they might be inclined to analyze your character and find psychological flaws in it. Virgos might drive you to the local nut house themselves if they have the time!

LIBRA SUPPORT

Balanced Libra will suggest you change your “look” mop up your tears, put on your eye makeup and go shopping! They might even take you to the beauty salon and treat you to a facial. In any event their input will be balanced, harmonious and aesthetically pleasing, and you will feel a lot calmer, until the next sobbing fit starts that is!

SCORPIO SUPPORT

Sensual Scorpios are intense. They might suggest that you undergo a stint at a detox clinic, or “get thee to a nunnery!” They will indicate that most of your problems are due to your repressed dark side! If someone has done you wrong, they will advise you to get as even as you can! In that context, they could even introduce you to their best friend, a Mafia boss!

SAGITTARIUS SUPPORT

Happy-go-Lucky Saggy will suggest a comedy club or a country walk to blow “all those cobwebs out of your hair!” Being glum does not get anyone anywhere they will tell you. They might even be tactless, or clumsily walk over your big toe, but they will also and tickle you under the armpits until you can giggle no more.

CAPRICORN

Capricorn will insist you talk to a financial adviser and invest your money in something safe. They are of the opinion unfortunate events are due to irresponsibility. They will go through your bank balances and tell you to budget on domestic items. They could take you to a swish coffee house, and introduce you to influential friends if you are well turned out enough!

AQUARIUS SUPPORT

An Aquarian will say you need to get out of yourself, stop concentrating on your own problems and see the bigger picture. They will tell you to join a Save the Whales movement, or distribute pamphlets on global warming. They will definitely nag you if they think you are being too self absorbed. They do not go for self pity and could suggest you dye your hair green to make a “new statement!”

PISCES SUPPORT

Pisces will tend to take a therapeutic approach to your issues, even have you sit in the couch in front of their aquarium as they identify with your problems, and your life, and say a lot of “Oh No’s” “You must be kidding’s” and “how mean can you get”, if you refer to an emotional rip off. They night sob hopelessly with you, and hiccup on cue! They could ask their charismatic healer friend over to give you a session!
