I guessed a couple!

Tonight, at work, I served a couple with a two-year-old son.  Both parents were very attentive and extremely prepared.  The mom had all kinds of food and activities to occupy the little guy.  He seemed like he could be a handful, but I never once had to assist the parents.  I rarely encounter families like this.  Usually parents are happy to have their child's food rushed, a plate of orange slices offered, or a blob of pizza dough for him to play with.  When the dad was in the bathroom, I asked the mom, "What is your sign?  I rarely wait on parents that are this prepared with their children.  I admire how much you've planned ahead."  She then invited me to guess her sign.  I said I thought she was either a Leo or a Virgo.  She laughed and said, "I'm a Virgo and my husband is a Leo.  So is my son."

I'm not sure if it's my Piscean intuition or the fruits of my labor as an astrologer, but it was pretty exciting to guess correctly.

Virgo and Leo are both signs that are known for being prepared for anything (excluding emotional breakdowns or spontaneous adventure-seeking from counterparts, of course).

nameless old lady (aries)

I waited on a couple of older ladies this morning who were in for brunch.  They were a saucy duo that I got to joke around with and become comfortable with.  Each time I approached to see if they needed anything, I would just keep walking because they were in a seemingly intense conversation.  Finally, their plates were empty and I had to interrupt to ask about dessert and the bill.  I stepped up to the table and waited while she finished her sentence, feeling sort of ignored, when she looked at me and in her next breath asked, "Cindy, are you afraid of us?" I should note that she looked hopeful that I would say yes, as if she's used to intimidating strangers.

Aries are known for being direct, sometimes aloof, and often aggressive.  This is part of why, I think, Aries is considered to be a "masculine" sign.  This is not to say that there are no feminine Aries out there.  Throw a little Pisces in their moon, give them rising Libra, and let Mars be ruled by Cancer or something like that, and you could end up with a pretty dreamy, passive, and illusive Aries.  The possibilities are endless.

nameless 5-year-old (cancer)

I was serving food to a table at work when I heard the little boy (who was a cancer... I know because I asked when his birthday was) ask his dad this:

"When rolly polly's roll up into a ball is it because they want the other bugs to leave them alone 'cause that's what I would do."

Cancers are known for retreating into their "shells" when put on the spot, prodded at, or even just when bothered.

Jason (taurus)

Me: "Do you get up around the same time every day?"
Jason: "Usually."

Taurus, like the other earth signs, is known for being habitual.  If no schedule influenced his schedule, he would likely rise at the same exact hour every day.

Greg (leo)

In response to why he was able to get bread first, before a smaller gemini:  "You know why I got to get mine first?  Because I'm bigger."  

Leo will abuse his power from time to time.

Tonia (gemini)

I don't have a direct quote from her, but in one meeting, I'm now set up to subscribe to her Party Blog (http://estrofests.blogspot.com), follow her on Twitter, like her page on Facebook, and possibly speak to her daughter on Skype.

Geminis are known for being excellent communicators, partaking in all forms of communication, and for working well with technological advances and trends.
