Sure, let’s give this a more conversational and personal touch while keeping the spirit of the original content. Here’s a polished version of the article:
A few of my buddies and I are what you might call the "street-smart astrology club." We’re not the academic types, but our conversations, from friendships to romance, interviews to workplace culture, even ordering food at a restaurant or sipping drinks at a hotel, always seem to circle back toconstellation. We can’t help but ask each other’s signs and then analyze their behavior to see how much the stars align with reality.
One of our favorite pastimes is betting on guessing theconstellation of strangers. I remember one trip from Taipei to Taitung; we bet on everyone we encountered: train ticket sellers, street vendors, restaurant owners, hotel receptionists, café servers… anyone we spoke to for more than three sentences. Some of us ended up broke, owing more in bets than we spent on the trip, while others walked away with full wallets, grinning from ear to ear. I’m usually spot-on with guys, hitting a 95% accuracy rate within three tries.
During one particularly lively drinking session, we had a brainstorming frenzy and came up with our own set of four-character mottos for eachconstellation’s approach to love. These mottos capture the essence of each sign’s romantic behavior in the simplest terms. At first glance, they might seem to suggest winners and losers, but they’re actually neutral descriptors, each with its own virtues and flaws. We were pretty impressed with ourselves when we finished.
-
Aquarius: "Just Friends" – Aquarius is the epitome of open-heartedness, treating everything from deep love to fleeting encounters as casual friendships. The real weight and depth of their feelings are hidden deep within, away from prying eyes.
-
Pisces: "Playing Pretend" – Pisces is known for its tender charm, but in love, they often sacrifice themselves for the sake of appearing strong or change themselves completely for their partner, which is both heart-wrenching and frustrating.
-
Aries: "Naive and Innocent" – Aries is like a child at heart, always seeing the world through innocent eyes. They believe that any mistakes they make in love are simply due to their innocence (shrug).
-
Taurus: "Trapped in a Cocoon" – Taurus’s stubbornness and inability to adapt can lead to a unique transformation in relationships over time. When faced with problems, they often isolate themselves further, spinning a cocoon of avoidance and attachment.
-
Gemini: "Directing the Show" – Gemini is a master of change, adopting different moods and personas daily. Their thoughts shift instantly, and they always have a plausible explanation. It’s their show, and they’re happy to have you as an audience, complete with popcorn and tissues.
-
Cancer: "False Affection" – Cancer is known for its complex emotional entanglements. They create a tangled web of emotions and drama, making their love affairs feel like a soap opera. In the end, you realize that their affection is just a protective mechanism, and they love themselves most of all.
-
Leo: "Cutting Ties" – Leos are very concerned with their image, even in love. They’re quick to cut off anything that could cause trouble, embarrassment, or loss of face. Despite their tough exterior, Leos are sensitive souls who may end up looking foolish for love.
-
Virgo: "Looking for a Better Deal" – Virgo’s perfectionism and nitpicking can turn a promising partner into an old nag. They’re always on the lookout for a better match, until they find the perfect partner.
-
Libra: "Gentle Beast" – Libras are elegant and attracted to beauty. They always present themselves perfectly, but beneath that polished exterior lies a creature with desires and flaws, much like the rest of us.
-
Scorpio: "King of the Hill" – Scorpios are natural leaders, even in love. They may start off gently, but they’re experts at manipulation until you’re fully under their spell. Their love is intense and regal, but if they don’t get the respect they think they deserve, they’ll destroy their own love kingdom.
-
Sagittarius: "Hunters in the Brain" – Okay, I admit it, this one was coined during a particularly rowdy drinking session, and it’s a bit crude. But it sums up Sagittarians’ approach to love: they’re natural hunters, always on the lookout for their next prey, guided by their instincts.
-
Capricorn: "Bored to Tears" – Capricorns are far from boring; they’re knowledgeable and deeply affectionate. But when they fall in love, they dive into every little detail, making their love life incredibly intense.
That night, we had a lot of names and stories flying around, some of them funny, others tinged with past loves and heartaches. It wasn’t exactly fair, and there was definitely some behind-the-scenes dealing, but it was the most elegant and polite way I could think of to explain these twelve mottos.
The behind-the-scenes manipulators that night were Aquarius, Gemini, and Leo.
So, with these unorthodox twelveconstellation mottos, I wish everyone a happy ending in love, with hearts united and love eternal.
