The Worst Sign?

 

Today I was in no mood to listen to equal temperament, so I listened to early music all day long, especially "Ascendens Christus in Altum" by Victoria - I just keep listening to that over and over. (True confession: I'm listening to it right now.) Even when I needed to get a lot of steps inside because it was so cold outside, I listened to Victoria, Scheidt, Hammerschmidt, and Tallis instead of my usual hip hop and salsa. Imagine a world where intervals are pure - no, I don't have to imagine it, I can just listen to it! Thanks, YouTube! I wish I could have met Victoria. His music is so mystical, maybe he was too. It would be so great to have a conversation with him. Did you know he was half-Jewish? His mother was a Jew who converted to Catholicism, and he himself was a priest.

Lately I have been getting a lot of those click-bait articles on my main Google page about the worst sign for backstabbing, temper, etc., and of course mine is always the second-worst after Scorpio. The book I bought that doesn't glow under blacklight is about astrology, so I read their description of Capricorn, and it did sound pretty awful. So then I was thinking maybe it is a really bad sign to be born under, but today I saw a video of a guy who's a Gemini randomly asking people in a mall what the worst sign was, after he asked their own signs. Apparently he heard a lot of people say Gemini is the worst sign (which kind of fits with my experience), and the people he asked were all over the map, but not one said Capricorn, and only one was a Capricorn. Statistically we are the rarest sign, so apparently people don't hate us - they completely forget we exist. Probably most people figure the worst sign is whatever their ex or their frenemy is, and there aren't enough of us out there for people to have had bad experiences with us. I will note (because the guy did) that only one person said Sagittarius, so people aren't hating on Travalon either. And yes, Gemini was the one people said the most! I have known some truly atrocious Geminis, and some of the worst famous people are Geminis, so that rings true for me. But my colleague who walks fifty times faster than I do is a Gemini, and we get along really well. When I was a kid, most of my buddies were Geminis or Scorpios, but they always turned on me. Now I barely know any Geminis or Scorpios. Where do they all go in adulthood? I sure hope Victoria wasn't a Scorpio or a Gemini. I like to think he was a fellow Capricorn, but I guess we'll never know for sure.
