A Note on the Name of Our Blog

As many of you know, I am pretty into astrology… and one thing Sean and I have always found extremely amusing is the description of how our signs are “supposed” to get along. I am an "air" sign, but he is an "earth" sign—and surprisingly enough, every description of this relationship I have ever read has been pretty much spot-on in describing our relationship. For example, here is something from my favorite astrologer’s website, cainer.com:

“Without earth's gravity, there would be no air. Without air, earth would be incapable of supporting life. People born under these two elements are strongly drawn to one another. Air people benefit greatly from having a partner who will ground them. Earth people (who need stimulation if they are ever to get anywhere) enjoy the flow of ideas that only an air person can offer.

In theory then, this is a perfect union. In practice? There are a few little problems. Tornadoes, for example, that blow up when the Air person can find no other way to make the Earth person shift. Or underground caverns that entice in fresh air and then, by sealing up their entrances with a sudden rock fall, trap it there forever. These risks though, can be avoided. And, when they are, no relationship can match it!”


So, as you can see, this description is frighteningly insightful! For I am notorious for being flighty and spontaneous, constantly ruffling Sean’s feathers… and he is notorious for being stubborn and rooted to the ground, driving me crazy because of my need for change and adventure. Thus, our life together is, in essence, Earth vs. Air: the eternal struggle.
