Before reading, I would like to remind you that this article is for reference and entertainment only, and it is intended to be a fun conversation after tea and dinner, aiming at the meaning of a better life, not superstitious!
In the long river of history and the trajectory of the stars, the ancients have long had an insight: "Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat." Although the words of "Xunzi Imperial System" are metaphors for governing the country, they also reflect the cultivation of people, just like those seemingly inconspicuous constellations, which hide mysteries and move when the time comes. They are like the Dapeng in "Zhuangzi Wandering", "90,000 miles of those who shake up", once they spread their wings, they are changing and making remarkable achievements.
Let us praise the extraordinaryness of these constellations with the pride in Li Bai's "Will Enter the Wine": "You don't see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky, rushing to the sea and not returning." "Their wisdom and strength are like this surging river, although it begins at the end of the small end, and eventually converges into a torrent, breaking through all obstacles and moving towards the other side of success.
Just as the "Chronicles of Xiang Yu" recorded in the "Historical Records: Xiang Yu Benji" shows extraordinary courage and determination, these zodiac signs, even in the face of desperate situations, can humility, gather amazing energy, and create miracles that turn things around.
Let's look at the philosophical thoughts in Su Shi's "Red Cliff Fu": "If you look at it from the person who has changed, then heaven and earth will not be able to take it for a moment." "There are endless changes, and only those who pay equal attention to humility and strength can control the tide of the times and become eternal. The representatives of these constellations are just like the masters in the ancient book "The Art of War", listening to thunder in the silence, showing magic in the ordinary, winning with wisdom, and surrendering without a fight.
1. Scorpio: The silent wise man
"The eagle stands like sleep, and the tiger walks like a disease, it is it that grabs the bird and eats the beast spell." This sentence in "Zhuangzi, Inner Chapter, Health Master" seems to be a vivid description of Scorpio's personality. They are like the ancient wise men, well versed in the truth of "great wisdom is foolish, great ingenuity is clumsy", and the silence on the outside does not represent the blankness of the heart, but a kind of hidden wisdom and strength.
In the long river of history, there is no shortage of such figures, such as Sun Bin in the Spring and Autumn Period, although he suffered from torture, he was able to shine in the Battle of Guiling and the Battle of Maling with extraordinary wisdom and achieved a great cause.
"If you don't make a hit, it's a blockbuster." This idiom from "Historical Records: Funny Biography" is the most appropriate to describe Scorpio. Their usual silence is not that they have nothing to say, but that they choose to show their profound thoughts and keen insight at the most appropriate time with the most precise words and in one sentence.
There is an ancient poem: "The still water flows deeply, and the noise is quiet." As described in this verse, Scorpio's inner world seems to be calm on the surface, but in fact, deep down there is infinite creativity and deep emotions.
In Greek mythology, the opposition between Scorpio and Orion symbolizes forbearance and challenge, and Scorpio represents the kind of power that constantly sharpens oneself in the face of adversity and finally outwits oneself.
In the modern world, this power of silence is also celebrated, as mentioned in the Harvard Business Review The concept of "quiet leadership" emphasizes influencing and guiding teams through listening, observing, and thoughtful consideration, rather than relying solely on verbal command. Scorpio's traits are an excellent embodiment of this leadership style, and they prove with their actions that true wisdom and influence often bloom in silence.
Scorpios, like wise men in the interweaving of history and modernity, take silence as the armor and wisdom as the blade, listen to the thunder in the silence, and see the truth in the plain.
2. Pisces: The power of gentleness
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat", an ancient proverb from "Xunzi Monarchy", aptly reveals the duality of Pisces' gentle power. They are like water, they can not only be gentle and tolerant, but also show their power to be reckoned with when necessary, overcome rigidity with softness, and transform conflict into harmony, as the so-called "good is like water, and water is good for all things without fighting".
The modern poet Xu Zhimo once said: "The most important thing is the gentleness of the bowed head, like the shyness of a water lotus flower that is not better than the cool breeze." This quote vividly captures the gentle qualities of Pisces, who influence their surroundings in an almost poetic way.
Just as the British writer Virginia Woolf delicately depicts the psychological changes in "To the Lighthouse", Pisces' exploration of the spiritual world not only heals themselves, but also warms the hearts of others.
In ancient times, this trait of Pisces may be comparable to that of the Song Dynasty lyricist Li Qingzhao, whose lyrics such as "seeking and seeking, cold and lonely, miserable and miserable", revealing not only sorrow, but also an unyielding flexibility, showing the unique gentle strength and deep emotions of women.
As the old saying goes: "Gentle Township is a Hero's Tomb", although it is a warning of the indulgence and slackness that gentleness may bring, but from another point of view, it is also another interpretation of the charm of gentleness - it can make the toughest heroes indulge in it, which shows the far-reaching power of it.
In modern times, psychologist Carl Rogers has proposed "unconditional positive attention", which coincides with the characteristics of Pisces, emphasizing that it is the gentle attitude of understanding and accepting the individual to promote their inner growth.
The gentleness of Pisces is not just a superficial weakness, but a deep, resilient and transformative force.
3. Taurus: a steady master
Taurus's steadiness is just like Zhuge Liang in the classical Chinese masterpiece "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Just as the ancients said: "Mount Tai collapses in front and the color remains unchanged, and the elk prospers on the left and does not look instantly." This composure is the norm when Taurus faces challenges.
As described by the famous French writer Victor Hugo in "Les Miserables", Bishop Mirière, with his unrequited dedication and unwavering faith, shows the silent perseverance of Taurus in charity and public welfare, they believe that "a drop of water through a stone is not a day's work", and perseverance can achieve great things.
Gu Shiyun: "Ten years of sharpening a sword, the frost blade has never been tried." The career of Taurus is the most vivid interpretation of this sentence. In the field of art and craftsmanship, they are like the Song Dynasty calligrapher Huang Tingjian, showing the charm of time precipitation in one stroke at a time, and each work is the crystallization of time and patience.
As the saying goes: "The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see it for a long time." It is in this long-term relationship that Taurus's relationships grow deeper, they are not good at words, but they prove their loyalty and reliability with their actions. Just like the ancient fable "The Fool Moves the Mountain", Taurus' perseverance and perseverance can move the heavens and the earth and remove all obstacles on the way forward.
With its unique stability and tenacity, Taurus can sit firmly in the Diaoyutai and become giants in their respective fields, whether it is in the waves of finance or in the temple of art.
Their philosophy of life is a symphony of patience and perseverance, proving that in this fast-paced era, the word "stability" is the first word, and only by accumulating thick and thin hair can we achieve extraordinary.
4. Virgo: Perfectionist
"If the jade is not cut, it will not be made." This ancient saying from "The Book of Rites and Learning" is just like a portrayal of Virgo's attitude towards life. They are like craftsmen, always meticulous in their life and work, and strive to be impeccable in every step.
In ancient Greek mythology, Athena, as the goddess of wisdom and craftsmanship, her perfectionist spirit coincided with Virgo, whether it was building an aegis or protecting the city-state of Athens, Athena showed an extreme pursuit of perfection.
In modern literature, Haruki Murakami describes the inner world of the protagonist Watanabe in "Norwegian Wood", and the delicate portrayal of emotions and details of life is the embodiment of Virgo's delicate emotions and pursuit of perfection.
They treat their feelings like handicrafts, and they long for every relationship to achieve spiritual fit and emotional purity.
"When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives." This old Chinese proverb, although on the surface it may seem like a criticism of excessive pursuit of perfection, for Virgos, it is more of a reminder that the pursuit of perfection should also know how to be moderate, so as not to fall into isolation. Just like the French writer Camus's Sisyphus, although he constantly pushes stones up the mountain, seemingly endless punishment, Sisyphus finds his own meaning in the process, and Virgo is also in the process of constantly pursuing perfection, finding and realizing self-worth.
The ancient Roman philosopher Seneca famously said, "Luck favors a prepared mind." The same applies to Virgos, whose attention to detail and preparation allow them to quickly seize opportunities and achieve breakthroughs when they come.
Virgo's perfectionism is both a label for their personality and a driving force for progress. From ancient times to the present, from the East to the West, the pursuit of perfection is like a thread that runs through human civilization, and Virgo people are the shining pearls of this line, they interpret the life philosophy of "there is no best, only better" with practical actions, inspiring everyone to pursue the ultimate in their respective fields and achieve extraordinary.
5. Capricorn: The silent climber
"The edge of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." This ancient Chinese poem aptly depicts the spiritual outlook of Capricorn. They are like plum blossoms blooming arrogantly in winter, not flinching from the cold outside, but becoming more fragrant in adversity.
The English writer Charles Dickens wrote in his book A Tale of Two Cities: "It was the best of times and the worst of times." "Capricorns can find their place in any era, because they believe that hard work and perseverance are always the keys to success, no matter how circumstances change.
"Silence is golden", this saying is best embodied in Capricorn. They don't like empty words, they prefer to speak with deeds, as the American writer Ernest Hemingway said: "The iceberg is majestic because it floats only one-eighth of the way on the water." "Capricorn's depth and restraint make them like an invisible iceberg, calm on the surface, but in fact it contains great energy and depth.
In modern literature, the story of J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, is also a modern interpretation of the Capricorn spirit. Before becoming famous, she faced difficulties in life, but she never gave up her dream of writing, worked silently, and finally created works that swept the world, realizing a gorgeous transformation from obscurity to a world-class writer. Her experience proves that Capricorn's silence is not inaction, but a prelude to accumulation.
"Dripping water through stones, not by force, but also by time." This old proverb reveals the power of time and perseverance, and for Capricorns, every drop of sweat is a ladder to victory.
Capricorn - these silent climbers, with their persistence and perseverance, write silent epics. They taught us that success is not an accident, but the courage and determination to stand up after countless falls.
In the Capricorn dictionary, there is no "impossible", only "not yet reached".
These constellations, like those humble and great figures in the long history, such as Zhuge Liang "did his best, and then died", such as Leonardo da Vinci's "genius lies in diligence", their stories and achievements are the best annotation of "being humble and having amazing real skills".
While appreciating these signs, let's also learn from their unassuming wisdom and the extraordinary spirit in the ordinary. In life, no matter what zodiac sign we belong to, we can draw strength from it and pursue our own excellence and success with humility.
