ropenmind, and at first was amazed that it was so close in certain respects. Then I tried other names for the same astrological sign and was disappointed to get the exact same text each time.
Oh well. It's an inexact science at best.
Bookworm
A very special Capricorn
Bookworm (I used my real name but replaced it for the sake of uniformity in this LJ) is an unsung hero, an undiscovered genius...and an unknown quantity. It is because Bookworm is such an unknown quantity that her heroism goes unsung and her genius undiscovered. Some people will blow their own trumpets from the highest hill even when those trumpets are battered and badly out of tune. Bookworm is rather the opposite. No matter how bright the light inside her shines, she will always find a bushel big enough to hide it under. Bookworm wants to be thought of as stable, steady and solid. She tries her best to do what the world expects of her, she wants to be a trooper - a loyal, reliable, down-to-earth kind of character. In the attempt to give this impression Bookworm strives to be modest, restrained and realistic. She almost succeeds. Through diligent effort Bookworm manages to persuade herself and the rest of the watching world that she is a known quantity. At best she will allow herself to be known for her talent in one particular area or for her courage with regard to one particular topic. The trouble is Bookworm is a Capricorn and Capricorns, despite all that some astrologers say, are always unknown quantities.
Deep down inside Bookworm yearns to be wild and crazy, footloose and fancy-free. She wants to break the rules, question convention and court controversy. Only one thing stops her - a little voice in the back of her head that says "Excuse me, who do you think you are? That's not the kind of activity that Bookworm can get away with." If you want to be a true friend to Bookworm you must encourage her to ignore that voice. She will love you for it and she won't need much encouraging. Bookworm was born to be brilliant. She was destined to be daring. One day she will realise this and then...the world had better look out.
