School Problem
I have a problem at school. The last two weeks i didn't feel good because
things didn't go well since last two weeks. Can u tell me what to do?
I see lots of doubts, but I also see something / someone very sharp, clear and clever. My intuition says that you're going through one of those periods when you're paying closer attention to the doubts than to your own ideas. It's often one of the hardest things in the world to stick up for yourself...to yourself. Especially when you're surrounded by forces that would prefer to have you doubt yourself. I don't see those forces or opinions as particularly motivated to hurt you...but they are just as damaging because they're so difficult to ignore. You've had a lousy two weeks as a result and that's damage enough. I actually see a full year of very positive energy for you starting in September...so hang in there.
A funny thing about problems, though.... They're often enough to get us motivated to do what it is that we really need to. Just the sort of difficulty we require in order to see more clearly what needs to be changed. As a result of confronting them we transform crucial attitudes in ourselves, and can heal some things that desperately require healing. Without problems...we'd never find the most creative side of ourselves. I'm like the next guy...I hate to be confronted with difficulties...but thinking of them as the equivalent of weights on a barbell sure makes a lot of sense. We might never look like Arno...but we're meant to work just as hard...all the time.

Aries / Aries
I found your site very nicely done ....Um I had a question about a relationship
where both parties are in fact Aries ....Me (March 21st) him (Apr 8th) ....
is it true that I will always have a very um passionate be it good or bad
life ????? any insight ?
Well...being born right at the Vernal Equinox certainly says something. He's right in the middle of the energy and you're right at the beginning of it. That's enough to put a different spin on things and give you both a slightly different feel for what you normally channel, which is more than just sexual energy. In fact, in our peculiarly rational and anti-intuitive state of global consciousness, we tend to regard the word libido as meaning exclusively sexual energy. Jung broke with Freud over this particular issue because he considered libido to be a more primal and unchanneled instinctual energy...and that sex was derived from this. Freud simply considered the sex drive to be primary.
My own opinion is that Jung was more on the money...so my take on Aries reflects that. You're both meant to be passionate...but that also means butting heads...but not because you're two Rams. In nature...a Ram and a Ewe would never do any such thing. Your task, as I see it, is to free up the natural instincts you both have and when you find yourselves butting heads, use that great, creative, mental acumen to re-channel the energy into it's proper river bed (so to speak). You've got the combined power, strength and courage to do it. Don't be afraid of hurting each other...get out of bed (once and awhile) combine your marvelous resources and use your great natural power and ability to create something extraordinary.... Something that would never come to light if you had different partners.
