Are You A Bully or A Pushover? Your Zodiac Sign Tells!

littlemiss:

When it comes to the game of life, it seems that there are those who win because they dare to ask the universe and the people in it for what they want. Some signs of the Zodiac are definitely pushier than others and, in some ways, that can translate into being more successful than others. Zodiac signs can look at which are the pushiest signs, to the extent that they are bullies, and which signs tend to be so people pleasing that they are practically doormats. (Via)

Aries

As far as being a bully goes, your sign does have some talents. You walk that fine line from between persuasive and pushy. You are a great salesperson and can sell anything, including yourself. Your main tact is not giving anyone else too much time to think too hard about what you are saying. Before they know it, they are agreeing with you and getting out their wallet to buy from you or deciding to jump in bed with you or whatever you want. You are also not beyond making fun of or belittling those weaker than you.

Taurus

As far as the Zodiac signs are concerned, you are one of the major bullies in the set of twelve horoscopes. You get your way mainly through intimidation, bullying, and emotional blackmail. In fact, you will do anything to get your way including withholding sex, giving people the silent treatment, and even resorting to violence if necessary. The milder bulls like to practice a bit of passive aggressiveness, which of course drives other people crazy. The Taurus always feels like they have won when they see the other person “give in.”

Gemini
The Gemini is a verbal bully and can talk so fast and only about him or herself that the other person just does not have a chance to get a word in edgewise. These glamorous creatures also believe in stealing the limelight whenever they can. They do this through dressing provocatively, being funny, or simply just speaking loudly at parties and in public places. They are not beyond creating a scene or mocking others if they feel ignored. This is all part of their agenda to be the center of the universe.

Cancer
The Crab is definitely one of the complete pushovers in the Zodiac. They will often cry or try to make people feel guilty if things don’t go their way, but all this does is make them seem powerless and insecure to others. Occasionally, this emotional blackmail works, but mostly Cancers try to gain control of situations by doing favors for other people. Usually, they are very much taken for granted and often others also take credit for their work. If a Crab does stand up for him or herself, it is usually accompanied by an emotional outburst.

Leo

The Leo is a notorious bully and one of the worst of the twelve signs when it comes to intimidation both physically and psychologically. This sign is charismatic and has a huge boisterous presence that is difficult to ignore in the first place. The Leo is not beyond yelling at or snubbing someone in a public place. They will also use sarcasm, verbal abuse, bigotry, and belittling to make someone else feel about two inches tall.

Virgo

This sign is an expert at emotional blackmail. They seem nice enough, but they can really shovel out the guilt. They control others by pretending to be flawless and in control and then belittling others when they don’t make the grade. However, not all Virgos are so controlling and pushy. Some like to make others feel guilty by doing everything over again when it is not done right the first place.

Libra
This sign needs constant approval from others and is just not that pushy. However, being the sign of the scales, this sign simply cannot tolerate injustice and will fly off the handle and become very violent and abusive if they think that someone or something (like an animal) is being treated unfairly or tortured. This sign becomes very aroused when they think it is time to fight for the sake of an underdog.

Scorpio

This is a very shifty and sly minded sign so the bullying that is done is quite subtle. The Scorpion is more manipulative than anything. The Scorpio native is also excellent at personal politics and has an entire armory of defense mechanisms, passive aggressive tactics, and downright sneaky and deceptive behaviors that are used to succeed in life.

Sagittarius
The Archer is quite happy go lucky and is one of those signs that does not have its own way. This is a philosophically and spiritually sophisticated sign that believes that states of personal power and success are transient. Although many people see this sign as being a bit of a pushover, he or she just does not care. This Zodiac sign can also manage to get its own way simply by being very positive and encouraging to others, which are opposite of the tact of many of the other signs. Like Olivia de Havilland in “Gone With The Wind,” they tend to get their own way by killing others with kindness.

Capricorn
This materialistic sign is quite bossy and controlling, but in a way that is quite ineffectual. The result is that the Goat does not always get what he or she wants. Self-sabotage is a constant habit. The Goat’s favorite way of bullying is to withhold the privilege of sex or communication from a loved one. They are also experts at turning the cold shoulder when they feel affronted and are capable of holding a grudge for many years. They are experts when it comes to maintaining a feud and disdain the idea of building bridges! They would rather be the winner that takes it all in all disputes!

Aquarius
This new age sign does not like to fight and it shows. They often get completely stepped on in life. The Aquarian is the optimistic, nice individual whose good graces are despised and taken advantage of. However, these master pushovers of the Zodiac must be admired for their ability to constantly be knocked down and get up and start again. They don’t let anyone daunt them psychologically and, for that, they must be admired. Some Aquarians resort to a bit of passive aggression, usually in the form of avoidance or changing the subject in order stay away from conflicts. Sometimes not showing up to the battle is one way to win it!

Pisces
The sign of the Fish is Christian and pacifist in nature and for the most part will turn the other cheek. However, as doing so, they will also paint a portrait of themselves as martyrs. The Pisces native is a master when it comes to making others feel guilty. Their other expert tact at bullying is to never answer directly when a question is posed to them. Keeping others on their toes and on a constant “need to know” basis keeps their enemies frustrated and confused. They also win battles by mirroring their competition and doing exactly what they do, which once again infuriates and flusters them. This complex sign looks self-less and loving but is in fact incredibly manipulative and selfish.

 Leo: you know what its not my fault that i am one: a loud Italian so you can’t help but hear my opinion and two: i am almost 6’ tall… i make people feel two inches tall no matter what. don’t blame me for being tall!!

Learn Your Karma From Your Zodiac Sign:

littlemiss:

In Indian (Vedic) astrology, your zodiac sign determines your karmic path and the challenges you will face during your incarnation in this life. Here is a simple break down of how your zodiac sign can reveal your karma based on past life experiences. (Via)

ARIES
Your challenge may be to put someone else first for a change as you are a fire sign who is very ambitious. Your challenges often have to do with your reputation. Problems with money can arise because of your impulsiveness.

TAURUS

You are a stubborn individual and it may be your challenge to admit for once that you are wrong. Loneliness is often a problem for this sign.

GEMINI
You tend to escape reality and, as talented as you are, you may be presented with situations in this life that force you to be more grounded. Health problems could present themselves. Love triangles are common and fidelity could be another challenge for you.

CANCER
You are very inward looking and shy. Your challenge may be to overcome depression or a “woe is me” attitude. Mental health and relationship problems are common.

LEO
You are a very arrogant and ambitious individual and you may be presented with challenges in this life that force you to be a little less selfish and shallow. Financial problems are common with Lion type karma.

VIRGO
You are a very controlling individual who finds it difficult to let go. You may be presented with situations in this life that compel you to be less rigid. You may often be dealing with situations where you are not credited for your work or you feel unloved.

LIBRA
You are indecisive and you may be forced to make some tough decisions that are out of the ordinary to remedy your karma from other lives. You will learn not to blame others for your problem. The issue is to determine whether you are a martyr or a victim.

SCORPIO
You can be obsessive and too concerned with sex. Your challenge may be to rise beyond the compulsive nature of your desires. You may also be tempted to dabble in the occult.

SAGITTARIUS
You can be wayward and concerned only about your own agenda. Issues of commitment could be challenging in this life if you are born under this zodiac sign.

CAPRICORN
You love money and acquiring possessions. One of your challenges may be realizing that money is not everything in this life. You might also be presented with issues that show you that “everything” does not have to be perfect for you to be loved.

AQUARIUS
You love to be free and to while away the hours in your own mind. Unfortunately, this leads to procrastination. You may face challenges that are the consequences of not being mindful or paying attention to what is important in life.

PISCES
The Pisces zodiac sign is always looking for the other in their life time. The challenge might be how to learn how to be alone or you might face issues of coherency and addiction.

“LEO
You are a very arrogant and ambitious individual and you may be presented with challenges in this life that force you to be a little less selfish and shallow. Financial problems are common with Lion type karma.”

yeah no surprise with that last sentence… anyone who knows me could see that one coming.

The Boy's Gone- Jason Mraz

The boy’s gone. The boy’s gone home. The boy’s gone. The boy’s gone home.

What will happen to a face in the crowd when it finally gets too crowded. And what will happen to the origins of sound after all the sounds have sounded Well I hope I never have to see that day but by god I know it’s headed our way So I better be happy now that the boy’s going home. The boy’s gone home.

And what becomes of a day for those who rage against it And who will sum up the phrase for all left standing around in it

Well I suppose we’ll all make our judgement calls We’ll walk it alone, stand up tall, then march to the fall So we better be happy now that we’ll all go home. That we’ll all go home.

Be so happy with the way you are Just be happy that you made it this far Go on be happy now. Please be happy now.

Because you say that this, this is something else (alright) I say that this, this is something else (well alright) I say that this, oh, this is something, this is something else Oo thi-thi-thi-thi-this is all, thi-thi-thi-thi-this is yeah, thi-thi thi-thi-thi-this is all something else

Well I tried to live my life and lived it so well But when it’s all over is it heaven or is it hell So I better be happy now that no one can tell, nobody knows I’m gonna be happy with the way that I am I’m gonna be happy with all that I stand for I’m gonna be happy now because the boy’s going home.

The boy’s gone home.

Yeah the boy’s gone home. Yeah the boy’s gone home. Yeah the boy’s gone home.

This man is a genius and is so underestimated! Love him and his music!

I scraped my knees while I was praying and found a demon in my safest haven
Seems like it’s getting harder to believe in anything than just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts

I wanna know what it’d be like to find perfection in my pride
To see nothing in the light or turn it off in all my spite
IN ALL MY SPITE I’LL TURN IT OFF

And the worst part is before it gets any better we’re headed for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize I’m better off when I hit the bottom
The tragedy it seems unending I’m watching everyone I looked up to breaking,
Bending taking short cuts and false solutions just to come out the hero
Well I can see behind the curtain the wheels are cranking turning
It’s all wrong the way we’re working towards a goal that’s nonexistant
It’s nonexistant but we just keep believing

The worst part is before it gets any better we’re headed for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize I’m better off when I hit the bottom

I wanna know what it’d be like to find perfection in my pride
To see nothing in the light and turn it off in all my spite in all my spite I’ll turn it off
JUST TURN IT OFF AGAIN!

Sometimes I Ask

why must i be so tall?

my height forces me to have big feet, which then forces me to never find shoes in my size!

its a fight that i hate because i like being tall and i think i would be weird short. so shoe distributors, instead of making me feel insecure about my height and shoe size. Why don’t you supply your freakishly tall customers with their desired shoe size? i think it would make everyone happy if you allowed us all to have our perfect leather knee high boots. there are customers out there with bigger than size 7 feet!

Listen

-tayla:

If I’m a bad person, you don’t like me, well I guess I’ll make my own way. It’s a circle, a mean cycle, I can’t excite you anymore. Where’s your gavel, your jury? What’s my offense this time? You’re not a judge but if you’re gonna judge me, sentence me to another life. Don’t wanna hear your sad songs, I don’t wanna feel your pain when you swear it’s all my fault ‘cause you know we’re not the same, we’re not the same. The friends who stuck together, we wrote our names in blood but I guess you can’t accept that the change is good, it’s good. YOU TREAT ME JUST LIKE ANOTHER STRANGER. WELL IT’S NICE TO MEET YOU SIR, I GUESS I’LL GO, I BEST BE ON MY WAY OUT! Ignorance is your new best friend. This is the best thing that could’ve happened, any longer and I wouldn’t have made it. It’s not a war, no it’s not a rapture. I’m just a person but you can’t take it. The same tricks that once fooled me, they won’t get you anywhere. I’m not the same kid from your memory, now I can fend for myself. Don’t wanna hear your sad songs, I don’t wanna feel your pain when you swear it’s all my fault ‘cause you know we’re not the same, we’re not the same. Yeah we used to stick together, we wrote our names in blood but I guess you can’t accept that the change is good. It’s good. YOU TREAT ME JUST LIKE ANOTHER STRANGER. WELL IT’S NICE TO MEET YOU SIR, I GUESS I’LL GO, I BEST BE ON MY WAY OUT. Ignorance is your new best friend. YOU TREAT ME JUST LIKE ANOTHER STRANGER, WELL IT’S NICE TO MEET YOU SIR, I GUESS I’LL GO, I best be on my way out.
