I'm currently waiting for my latest webcam video to upload, so the sooner we get this done, the sooner you can move on with your lives.

PART II (GEMINI [May 21 - June 20], VIRGO [August 23 - September 22])

The Magician is ruled by Mercury which the same planet that rules Gemini and Virgo, and those signs rule Lovers and Hermit respectively. Sailor Moon-related coincidences aside, the Magician is about doing whatever whenever you can when the chance arises (and knowing why you're doing something helps a LOT in this case). The result? Pulling off almost anything.

As for the likes of Lovers and Hermit, well, these two may seem like opposites... and you're right. Lovers is all about you and that other person, how much you care for each other, and generally relating to the person in question (and others). But every now and then, you need a break from the outside world, and that's where the Hermit comes in. I think this quote from here explains the Hermit a lot well than I could:

There comes a point in life when we begin to question the obvious. We sense that there is a deeper reality and begin to search for it. This is mainly a solitary quest because answers do not lie in the external world, but in ourselves.

I think we can all relate to that.

This time around, we have a handful of Geminis and... less Virgos. Let's look at 'em, shall we?

On the Gemini side of things, we have Kikimora, Shadow, Rouge, Yu-chan & Rei-kun, Pearl & Dearl, and Sig. All except two have some sort of relationship with each other, and it should be obvious considering the sing of Gemini is the twins (in which we have two pairs of!) and Lovers are... well, two people with a relationship with each other (not exactly romantic). Yu & Rei and Pearl & Dearl fit both Lovers and the its ruling sign right down to the fact that they're literally twins with different genders (even though, in the case of Pearl and Dearl more than Yu and Rei, they SHOULDN'T if they're identical). As for Shadow and Rouge, they're... just usually seen working together, but that's what Lovers and Gemini is all about: two people having some sort of relationship with each other, right? Looking further into Gemini, those under the sign tend to talk a lot, which explains Yu's regular abuse of the words "yes" and "indeed".

But what about Sig and Kikimora? They're not even in the same game, so how can THEY be qualified as Gemini? I'll explain. For Sig, I'd like to borrow a quote from this page: "You are the eternally youthful child, no matter your chronological age." Considering Sig likes bugs and, from what I've seen, a lot of little boys tend for find bugs cool, I'd say that's pretty accurate. For Kikimora, I'm really tempted to say that she's never seen without her broom/mop in the same fashion that Yin and Yang can't be separated. Hey, she's a MAID. You should expect her to have a mop or three.

For the Virgos, we have Feli's favorite, Lemres; our favorite abysmal singer, Harpy; and so far every video game critics... not-so-favorite sea loving raccoon, Marine. Now I know what you're thinking: they don't seem all that Virgo at all, and they're are SO not Hermit. Again, I'll explain. For Lemres, he's one part Hierophant with his cool and calm attitude and having the likes of Klug and Feli eat candy out of his hands if they had to, one part Incubus with his knowing of English words (though written in katakana) and smooth talking, one part Magician in the sense of... well, knowing magic, and... I'm still trying to figure out the rest. Okay, so Lemres has the Magician part down to some extent, but he ain't no Virgo, right?

WRONG.

Let's go back a little. *rewinds tape*

...having the likes of Klug and Feli eat candy out of his hands if they had to... *rewinds again*
...eat candy out of his hands if they had to... *rewinds once more*
...eat candy out of his hands if they had to... *stops*

See? If Lemres haven't taught Feli and Klug everything they know and earned their respect because of that, then I wouldn't be bringing that part up, now would I? No, that wouldn't be possible. What does that have to do with anything?

receiving/giving guidance
going to/being a mentor
accepting/offering wise counsel
learning from/being a guru
turning to/being a trusted teacher
being helped/helping
From here.

I rest my case. Moving on to Harpy.

I think I can sum up Harpy in one short paragraph: Harpy takes action and tries to make her singing well-known. Too bad she stinks at it. I think she need to follow the way of the Hermit and spend some time alone... TO WORK ON HER SINGING.

Oh, and I think I should mention that Virgos tend to be perfectionists, and Harpy pretty much shows that towards the end of this.

Finally, we have Marine. She's even LESS of a Virgo that what Lemres seems to be. She talks WAY too much and can be too stubborn for her own good. No way in heck she's a Virgo!

...

Or is she? *Dun dun DUUUUUUUUUUUN!*

The Sixth House is about the regular performance of work-related tasks.
From here.

I think that the evidence that consists of her building a boat to go on adventures and thinking she's the captain throughout the game backs that up pretty well (and covers her share of being the Magician as well).

So this was a little long. So sue me.

Next time, I'll cover the High Priestess and Chariot... and quite a few surprises... one of 'em involving SuperDanny's favorite. ^.^

Oh, lookie here! While I was running my mouth, my webcam was uploaded!

Take your pick.

Finally...


You have NO idea how much the boss music here ROCKS. So what if it's a remix of when you go up against the likes of Rayquaza and Lugia in the first Pokemon Mystery Dungeon?

...

ANOTHER reason I demand to have the new PMD games to have their soundtracks ripped.

Na no nya! Meow!
