Cold or Warm, Thorny or Soft

So my sister and I have some made up personality types we measure people through. You can be either warm or cold, and thorny or soft, so for example, someone can be cold and thorny, cold and soft, warm and thorny or warm and soft ; those are the 4 types we classify people in.

Now that that’s explained, I decided it would be fun to put each sign in one category.

For this post you should check your Sun, Moon and rising sign. Your Sun would be closer to how you truly are and percieve yourself to be, your Moon would point towards how you are when people know you better and how you behave towards those you care about, while your rising is more about how people percieve you and how you consciously make yourself appear as.

Really you could check any planet and it would talk about how you express those energies.

So first things first, I’ll explain each variable:

Cold: these people don’t get attached easily, they can be quite distant and reserved, not liking to be too close to people, especially those they don’t know well. They avoid showing their emotions to others and have a hard time expressing them, so they can be percieved as indifferent or inexpressive, they may be feeling enormously but from the outside seem emotionless to those who don’t know them well. Not necessarily rude, but distantly polite. Not very big on affection.

Warm: very expressive, even bubbly, they probably want people to feel comfortable and at home given their caring nature. Can get attached easily and have an outwardly loving nature. Their emotions can be seen all over their demeanor and they may share how they feel quite often. If they are shy, they may not be as overbearing as they appear in this description, but still have no qualms about expressing themselves when prompted by others. Very giving and affectionate nature.

Thorny: hard to get to know, they dislike interacting with people and can even be a bit hostile when you first meet them (and let’s be honest, afterwards as well). They show they care in a perhaps unconventional way, since they are not very good at sharing how they feel, so maybe they are more about actions than words. Trust issues wouldn’t strange with this type, so you have to earn it. They may feel easily stiffled when given affection, so handle with care and measure. Will physically fight anyone for their loved ones or protecting the underdog. Annoyed most of the time.

Soft: the sweet cinnamon roll archetype, they can trust others a bit too much, they open their hearts to those they care about and can even be a bot clingy at times. Will probably never hurt you on purpose and can often let people walk over them a bit because of their humble and understanding nature. While they do love affection, they may not actively seek it, since these people are prone to be pretty shy and quiet. Can worry a lot. Probably very moved by art and really creative souls.

Now, the signs:

Warm and Thorny: Aries, Gemini, Leo 

Very caring but can appear a bit hostile at first and be that way without realizing it at times. Easily become defensive when they feel threatened or hurt, doing and saying things they probably could’ve said much more gently or done differently. Will fight for what they believe is right and can be a bit aggressive and blunt at times. Care about everyone but not enough about anyone. Would help anyone in need but also could betray anyone if they can have something they want.

Cold and Soft: Taurus, Virgo, Libra 

People often feel drawn to these signs, mostly for their charm and class (taurus, libra), or their intelligence and simplicity (virgo). However, if you watch closely, you can see they never become too involved and always keep their distance emotionally speaking. They are people pleasers, and to please everyone you can’t care about anyone too much. They can try to make others feel comfortable, but mostly because they tend to absorb others emotions, so someone being uncomfortable around them can make them feel uncomfortable as well. Nevertheless, when they do care about someone they are affectionate, caring and, well, soft. They don’t care about someone easily, but when they do, their loved ones become their world. 

Cold and Thorny: Scorpio, Capricorn, Aquarius

Struggle getting close to people, for they value their freedom and alone time a lot. They show they care in their own way, which may not always be noticed by their loved ones. Can be a bit rough around the edges and hide their feelings and emotions in fear of being hurt or taken advantage of. Very hard to get to know, but very loyal once they care about you. Can be passive to injustice or insensitive to pain because they often mind their own bussiness a bit too much.

Prone to feeling lonely and misunderstood.

Warm and Soft: Cancer, Sagittarius, Pisces

Very caring, very gentle, very shy (except sagittarius, probably.) Can often live in their emotions, their hearts are too big for their own good. Easily hurt and unfortunately struggle hiding it. Struggle to let go of people, even after they’ve hurt them. Rich inner world and very moved by human emotion. Probably quite idealistic. Giving, generous and affectionate, understanding to an almost annoying degree and the best when it comes to comforting others.

Sagittarius is perhaps the one that lets go and becomes detached more easily.

Wonder Woman would probably be so heartbroken if she heard there were people who thought her feminism was trans-exclusionary

This won’t be WW3. This won’t be WW1 or WW2. This won’t be an alliance of countries coming together, a war of drafts and rationing. There will be no Rosie the Riveter and no victory meats. No war bonds and no D Day. There is no holocaust to end and no ally country to liberate. 

This will be another Iraq and Afghanistan war. This will be another Gulf War. This will be American drones bombing the shit out of innocent civilians half a world away so often that it won’t even be reported on. This will be American snipers committing war crimes you won’t even hear about. This will military recruiters going to your high school, promising your friends free college that they could never afford otherwise, this will be your classmates dying in a desert on the other side of the world. This will towns bombed into rubble and another million Americans with PTSD to be abandoned by the VA. Hundreds of thousands of dead civilians and another 50,000 vets homeless on the streets when they get back. 

For what? For oil. For power. To make the American voter forget about Impeachment as the 2020 election cycle kicks in. 

Don’t let them do it.
