Your Birthdate: October 6

You tend to be a the rock in relationships - people depend on you. Thoughtful and caring, you often put others needs first. You aren't content to help those you know... you want to give to the world. An idealist, you strive for positive change and dream about how much better things could be. Your strength: Your intuition Your weakness: You put yourself last Your power color: Rose Your power symbol: Cloud Your power month: June

Um....yeah, right. Rose. Depends on what precise kind of rose, I'd say....I'm rather fond of the peach/gold sort, and perpetually attracted to the deep blood-red hue...and "dusty rose" has its appeal when coordinated with warm golds and rust and evergreen and dark mahogany--but outside of the natural bloom itself, I'm hardly likely to use any shade of PINK as a power colour....

Interesting way to try divination, though, of a sort. I got a multicoloured bouquet of roses from my mother for my birthday....and the very last two to droop and fade were a white one and the palest pink one to it. I thought that that had to mean (this was before you, my ladylove) that that was all that the future had in store for me...utterly pure agape or the chastest love of selfless romantic affection. I took that as all that I could hope to strive for in this life....but as usual, Destiny had a few tricks up her sleeve. And so, what I can read in the roses now is that those traits are strongest in myself, and will remain even after all other passions (and jealousies) are withered.

Of course, this works best with a copy of "The Language of Flowers" on hand or practically memorised in symbolism...but really, I'd say that roses are the most transparent of all to analyse. (And so would Robin McKinley, Mercedes Lackey and Jean Cocteau.....)

Hmm. And clouds....*snickers* Which puts me somewhere in the general thought-cluster of Joni Mitchell, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Annie Lennox, and whoever wrote "My Sweetheart's Like Venus"....go figure. But then, my water-manifestation is rain and thunderstorms, so....
