第114章 Entertaining Divination 星座血型(7)

Capricorn: You’re very responsible, Capricorn。 You want everything to be in working order all the time and that can lead to an excessive amount of over explaining and even controlling situations。 We realize you’re being overly efficient, but half the time most people will tune out the information they don’t need, so you’re just wasting your breath。 Keep it simple!

摩羯座:魔羯,你很负责。你期望所有事情都时刻正常运转,而这会让你进入一而再再而三地过度解释甚至过度控制的处境。我们发现,你说话的效率太高了,但有一半时间,大多数人会忽略他们不需要的信息,所以,你只是白费唇舌而已。说话要简短!

Aquarius: You can easily be wrapped up in causes for a higher good, because you’re ruled by the planet that rules technology! When you’re on date, don’t open that PETA email that just popped up on your blackberry。 Your sweetie will begin to think your messages are more important than them。 Try to live in the moment, and leave your iphone or blackberry out of the picture for a bit。

水瓶座:你会很轻易就武装上更好的装备,因为控制着你的星球也控制着科技!约会时,不要打开黑莓手机里刚冒出来的那封超大邮件。你的情人会开始认为你收到的信息比他/ 她更重要。试着珍惜约会的每一分钟,不要把你的苹果手机或黑莓手机牵扯进来。

Pisces: Your dreamy nature easily allows you to be in your own little world。 Sometimes your sweetie or crush could wonder if you’re even listening。 When you’re on a new date or out with your sweetie, try to snap into reality。 And be careful of wearing your heart on your sleeve too quickly in relationships。

双鱼座:你爱幻想的本质很容易就让你沉迷于自己的小世界。有时候,你的情人或迷恋你的人会猜想你是否在听他们说话。当你开始一次新的约会或与情人外出时,试着快速融入现实世界。还要注意,谈恋爱时,不要很快就表明自己的感情。

Cultural events will be popular with the Lion in your life, as will gambling or anything exciting。

涉及文化或是任何令他/她感到兴奋的事都可以成为你与狮子座人约会的内容。

Your Leo date will love dressing up to the nines, and needs to have an engaging and social event to attend。

狮子座人喜欢把自己打扮得光鲜亮丽,这样可以在赴约时显得美丽动人。

Don’t forget the rich fantasy life that the Crab in your life possesses — put a little imagination into your efforts, whether that means more candles, incense and velvet table cloths, or perhaps a theme evening — French food, movie and music。

不要忘了蟹子也爱做白日梦哦,那么在你的约会里加一点创意,比如多些蜡烛、熏香和天鹅绒的桌布都能给对方惊喜;邀请他/她去看电影和听音乐会也是不错的主意。

Virgo will be embarrassed by splashy shows of money, and will be more impressed by value rather than amount。

处女座不喜欢随意挥霍钱财的人,他/她更容易被价值而不是数量所打动。

Virgos also love animals, so a date that puts your Virgo in contact with them (like a trip to the zoo!) will earn you a smile。

处女座还很喜欢动物,带他们去动物园肯定也是不错的选择。

Gemini’s enjoy literary events, intellectual events and unique experiences。

双子座喜欢独特且有深度的约会。

Realize Sagittarius and Capricorn

认识射手座与摩羯座

1射手座与摩羯座

Sagittarius is the ninth astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Sagittarius。 Sagittarius is considered a “masculine”, positive (extrovert) sign。 It is also a fire sign and one of the four mutable signs。 Sagittarius is ruled by the planet Jupiter。 Individuals born when the sun was in this sign are considered Sagittarius individuals。 Under the tropical zodiac, the sun enters Sagittarius on November 22 and exits on December 21。 Under the sidereal zodiac, it is currently there roughly from December 17 to January 20。

In Greek mythology, Sagittarius is identified as a centaur: half human, half horse。 In some legends, the Centaur Chiron was the son of Philyra and Saturn, who said to have changed himself into a horse to escape his jealous wife, Rhea。 Chiron was eventually immortalized in the constellation of Centaurus or in some versions, Sagittarius。

Capricorn is the tenth astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Capricornus。 In astrology, Capricorn is considered an introvert sign。 It is also considered an earth sign and one of the four cardinal signs。 Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn。 Being the tenth sign of the zodiac, Capricorn has been associated with the astrological tenth house。 Individuals born when the Sun was in this sign are considered Capricorn individuals。 Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun enters Capricorn by definition at the moment of winter solstice, or roughly at December 21, and leaves it around January 20。 In western astrology, this sign is no longer aligned with the constellation as a result of the precession of the equinoxes。 Under the sidereal zodiac, it is currently there roughly from January 15 to February 15。

Capricorn is sometimes depicted as a sea-goat, and sometimes as a terrestrial goat。 The reasons for this are unknown, but the image of a sea-goat goes back at least to Babylonian times。 Furthermore, the Sumerian god Enki’s symbols included a goat and a fish, which later combined into a single beast, the goat Capricorn, recognized as the Zodiacal constellation Capricornus。
