This week Strawberry has an interesting meme, which deals with the Zodiac and your thoughts surrounding it.    As always, the instructions are provided for those who would like to participate.   Part of this week’s challenge is for you to create a picture that related or had something to do with your Zodiac sign.   I’m wearing a necklace that represents my sign.

Meme instructions: Copy and paste the following questions and answers into your post; then delete my answers and input your own. Don’t forget to leave a comment below with a link to your post so we can all come by and check it out!

  • What is your birthday and/or Zodiac sign? – I’m an Aries, being born on April 1st.   Yes, I get the fool jokes each year and I LOVE my birthday day.  😛
  • Do you believe in or follow astrology? – Yes, I do believe in astrology.  No, I do not follow it.  I have a very good friend who is an astrologer, who has provided me with wonderful advice over the years based on transits in my astrological chart that have helped me grow in understanding some of my impulses, desires and motivations.  I tend to view the information like other information you might receive and process and then up to you on how or whether you use the information.   Astrology can guide you, though should not be a total basis for decision making.
  • Do you feel your sign’s attributes reflect who you are? – There are attributes that fit me very well and others that don’t.   Though as one blogger highlighted and having learned from my friend, it’s not as simple as just what your sun sign is.  There are other things involved, such as the time and place of your birth.
  • Have you ever been to a psychic or astrologer either in RL or in SL (are there any in SL?) As mentioned, my friend has provided me with an astrological chart.   I have no idea on the Second Life part of the question.
  • Do you read your horoscope daily and try to follow any advice, recommendations or warnings it may have for you that day? No.  On occasion they have been the fun topic of discussion on a Sunday morning when my siblings are gathered for an all family breakfast and someone has the newspaper out and they  come across the horoscopes and read everyone’s horoscope for the day.  Especially, when we have quite a mix of signs in our family, it’s a barrel of laughs when you find something amusing to poke fun at.
  • Do you have very strong feelings about astrology, either negative or positive?  No, I don’t have any strong feelings about it either way.  I think this is a personal choice and you have a right to what you think or believe.  It’s when you run judgment or try to impart your view on others, that you have to start to draw the line.  Personally, I’m always open to hear people’s views on any subject, whether it’s positive or negative.  I think it’s the worst thing to be closed minded about things that you have no real knowledge of.

New week.

It’s Monday and the start of another week.   I’m really hoping for a less chaotic week than the one just passed.  Though I woke up a tad late and I’m dragging a bit today.   So I figured that I would begin my week with a spring in my step, some coffee and to describe my dress I just took a line out of one of Fleetwood Mac’s song, “Monday morning you sure look fine“.

Hope everyone has a good start to their week!

Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions – Pablo Picasso

There is a concept known as color psychology, which basically is an explanation of how colors at the conscious and subconscious level affect a person’s emotions, mood and energy as a few examples.  In essence the study of how it impacts human behavior.

For instance you might have heard that the color red represents power and passion.  It is a very strong vibrant color that elicits a strong emotion.  Or yellow representing sunshine and cheerfulness.   In this picture I am wearing green, a color that many people associate with money and yet it is also known to be the color of balance, nature and often referred to as the color of healing.  Other meanings associated to the color green are growth, fertility and change.

When I was growing up, in one of the houses that we lived in there was a green toilet and sink, so for the longest time I was not too keen on this color.   Today I like green in all its variations — dark green, yellow green, olive and aqua to name a few.  It is a color that I like to wear often and I just love it on this dress from Zaara.  It has fabulous detail and it’s perfect casual wear.

So what colors do you wear and what do they mean?   Find out  here as it might help you in understanding your behavior.
