I invited around 70 writers/bloggers to write a piece about whether or not they're typical of their sign, and how its traits affect their writing life ~ if at all...
I've featured fifty-four writers and bloggers so far ~ if you would like to have a look at the list (with links), they're all HERE
Now, there was me thinking I'd got myself another Taurus, and then I read the article from my next guest, shoe and fashion blogger Linda Hobden, and discovered that she's a Taurus/Gemini cusp who feels more like the twins than a bull! The blog's gorgeous, a real must for shoes and fashion addicts ~ it's HERE
Tell us all about your cuspal life, Linda :)
"I was born on May 21st and depending on what horoscope guide one
refers to, I am either a Taurus or a Gemini.
I have always considered myself a Gemini, but looking at the two
different traits, I am definitely half and half. Being on the cusp can be lots of fun - when
reading my horoscopes I read both Taurus & Gemini and pick the prediction
that I like the sound of! So, when Terry
asked the immortal question of how my zodiac traits present themselves when I
write my blog, in true "cusp" style, I picked out traits from both
lists."
"My Gemini side shows itself in the fact that I am nosy, chatty, communicative, sociable and I'm interested in a variety of subjects. This bodes well for me as I interview on my blog people from all walks of life from around the world - CEOs, models, photographers, fashion designers, craftspeople, authors, entrepreneurs and others - about their careers, lives and their personal footwear and fashion tastes. Being nosy, chatty and interested definitely helps. In the field of communication, I love the English language (and literature)."
My Taurus side shows itself in the fact that I am stubborn and I dislike change. I had been told for months that my blog of 4 years was no longer mobile friendly but I was too stubborn to agree to change the theme ... but after a while I did change my theme and it does look slicker and.... well, let's just say, it has been done! Other Taurus traits include being independent (I may be sociable but I do like to work on my blog independently); being loyal (I do support those who have given me hope, encouragement and help as I go on my blog journey); being dependable (if I say I will do something, I will); being reliable (I blog every week without fail and have done since 2012 - I just cannot blog without being organised in advance!); being artistic (I enjoy photography, especially macro and textures - and I like the chance of using my photos in my blog). Unfortunately, patience is a Taurus trait that doesn't apply to my blog life especially when I experience a technical hitch or two ...in fact I display that Gemini trait of being a tad quarrelsome! Just ask my Leo husband!"
I haven't noticed that my Taurean husband is patient, at all.... mind you, he has half his birth chart in fiery, demanding Aries! A very clear insight into the two signs ~ if you would like to get to know Linda and follow her posts, she can be contacted Twitter or Facebook.
Now, famous writer time ~ I thought it best to choose one of each!
