GEMINI  

“Hello – what’s the matter with you? I didn’t mean to offend you. But let me tell you what I think anyway. Why are you looking at me like that? You’re a pain, did you know that? What? Can’t you take a joke? Don’t you bully me – oh no, you can’t do that to me anymore. What do you mean, I’ve never met you before? Let me give you the hot tip - I’ve met plenty like you…”

Phew! This Archer is one massive and rather heavy handful of a person. Now, they’re not bad, not by a very long shot, but boy, can they be hard work. They give offence whenever they wish, all in the cause of “speaking their mind”. They say things like “You would want me to be honest, wouldn’t you?” and “It’s just the truth”, and “You’ll find most people think the way I do.” Right before they completely obliterate your character.

They do not mind dishing it out – but they are so blind to the very fact that they cannot take their own bitter medicine. They feel victimised very, very easily. So don’t you dare pick on them. (You didn’t. You disagreed.) Most of the time they’ll say they’re fine with disagreeing, too (they believe you have the right to your opinion – even if it’s stupid) but they will hold a grudge. Long after you’ve forgotten it .

They base most of their opinions on something that happened to them or someone they know (a cousin) in primary school, and they think whatever has happened to them must therefore have happened to all other people like them (normal people). They’re so stubborn!   They’re so tactless! But, oh, they are so funny. That’s not intentionally witty by the way.

They are a fantastically abrasive person – and they are like sandpaper on skin, like nails on a blackboard, like a brick on a toe. But they do make the weirdest alliances and friendships. They won’t change their mind about things – that would be akin to saying they had something to learn and thus they were wrong! But they do make friends where they would never have thought to.

They never deal with details, by the way – they are all about massive and broad brushstrokes… generalisations, and they think if you disagree with them on a detail (like a date, figure or true thing) that you’re “picking on them”. Sigh. I can see a big grey cloud of frustration here. But it is a very entertaining one – as long as it doesn’t get ugly!

Why she’s there: To stir the world.

Why she’ll stay: Because we need to learn something about ourselves.

Why she’ll go: Sometimes our reflection in the mirror isn’t all that pretty.
