I’ve actually been told that my life arc resembles that of Ebenezer Scrooge πŸ˜‚

Which is funny because every year, I privately blog a Christmas rumination of the spirits of Christmas visiting me. Perhaps I’ll do it this year and moving forward.

When I was thinking of other characters I could switch with, an indisputable fact kept arising. Each of these fictional characters had a trial and tribulations arc that eventually make them what they are. They have stresses in life.

Like, Bruce Wayne. Yes, he’s rich and all that good stuff. But the trauma he went through? No thanks.

Sherlock Holmes? Solving those creepy mysteries and possibly having to study the crime scenes of Jack the Ripper? Nope.

Even innocuous ones like Santa Claus, he doesn’t do anything all year except for Christmas. But he has to contend with foggy skies and modern radar trackers on him. Lord knows what’ll happen if Rudolph flies him into a drone swarm in an active war area.

So, the only guy I could come up with that people compare me to anyway is Ebenezer Scrooge. He has some stresses for sure but overall, he’s in a generally secure spot. So, yeah – I’d be Ebenezer Scrooge for a week.


What is your horoscope sign? And is the description accurate? Thanks Rojie!

My Astrological Sign:

I am a Taurus, born May 1st.

Here is my reading for the day:

Sep 18, 2026Β – It’s time to take a bold step forward, Taurus. Have confidence in yourself and all the careful planning you’ve been painstakingly doing for the past few months. Realize that much of this hard work is paying off, but only if you’re willing to take the next step. The opportunity is there. All you need to do is jump on it. Act out of faith and confidence instead of fear and restriction.

My characteristics, to which I would say there is a meaningful bearing. I am a very basic person, very earth relatable, hands in the dirt kind of person: https://www.horoscope.com/zodiac-signs/taurus

I would say those characteristics really show in what I do whether it’s what I do in a professional setting, a social setting or a highly personal social setting.

One thing I’ve learned to believe though is that, for some reason, in matters of romantic love, I seem to be the mortal enemy of Scorpios πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚

    Scorpio is the opposite sign , so that can be one of the “issues”.

    I would search up where your moon sign was when you were born . And also what sign your Venus and Mars holds in your chart.

      lol really? that wold make sense then! πŸ™‚ I’ll look up my moon sign too – thanks for the tip Maggie!

        So glad you found it more accurate. And a Cancer moon is a beautiful placement ✨️

    Heh, as a Scorpio I can say that many of my coevals are just that ~ co-evil πŸ™„

    1. Michael Williams Avatar

      really? I’ve never studied this stuff seriously but perhaps a little research might be illuminating!

      1. Ana Daksina Avatar

        Oh, you’ll go all over the map if you do that ~ I’m fairly familiar with the basics, you can feel free to ask.

        Re Scorpios, it’s probably the sign with the greatest number of personality archetypes contained within it ~ there are actually four of them, represented by different animals ~ the scorpion, who’s all about the Game of Thrones, doesn’t think they win till you lose, and are willing to play the long game to see it happen; the grey lizard, who spends most of its time alone resenting the world and self-dessicating; the eagle, which is your executive who can see a long way very clearly; and the phoenix, which rises regularly from its own ashes. Not an easy sign to be born under, addicted to intensity…

    I really enjoyed reading this! 😊 Your comparison with Ebenezer Scrooge is wonderfully self-awareβ€”and the idea of your annual Christmas β€œvisit from the spirits” makes it even more fitting.

    I also agree that the struggles of fictional characters are often what make them memorable. Bruce Wayne may have wealth, Sherlock may have brilliance, and Santa may have Rudolph and a very demanding schedule, but none of them gets an easy life! πŸ˜‚ Perhaps Scrooge is the sensible choice after all

    1. Michael Williams Avatar

      right Vijay?? πŸ˜€ the irony is he would be one of the most overlooked. i think it’s great that these modern heroes have character building arcs but i don’t know if that would translate to real life for me.

    I was always skeptical of the astrology world because i felt like i could spin a wheel and whichever sign i land on, if i read that one, there would be truths to it! Although reading mine this morning actually did have me a bit more convinced that mmmmaybe they’re onto something πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

    1. Michael Williams Avatar

      who knows right? Maggie, in the comments, just gave me a tip to looking for my moon sign and you know what? it’s absolutely accurate!

        CJ Antichow

        Moon sign what’s that lol

        1. Michael Williams Avatar

          so, the sign you know right now is your Sun sign. there is actually a Moon sign derived from the phase of the moon on your birthdate and birthyear! i felt like it was really accurate – so now i’m looking for moon sign related stuff! πŸ™‚

    Oh I love that! Ebenezer Scrooge was great! He, like us all hasn’t always been the best version of himself, and had the capacity to change. And change he did. So good!
    Strangely people have called me Mother Teresa or Saint Martini, which I don’t understand. Because most people are afraid of me, according to my family. 😏 I don’t get that either bc I’m 5’3”. My daughter said I’m intimidating and a human lie detector. I don’t see it. I just don’t like to waste time, or put up with bad energy.
    And I don’t know much about horoscopes and signs, but I am a Scorpio πŸ˜‚ So, there are good in with the bad. πŸ˜‰ or maybe that’s why I’m scary… I guess we will never know. πŸ˜‚

    1. Michael Williams Avatar

      hahaha! well, perhaps as friends Scorpios are great which explains why we get along! lol.

      but boy, i think almost every insane whirlwind episode I’ve had has involved a Scorpio in some way shape or form.

      if you get a chance, and if you haven’t you should look up your moon sign. Maggie, below in the comments, suggested it and it’s really accurate!

      1. MJ🍸 Avatar

        Okay, I just did. Here’s what it says:

        Deep Intensity: Feelings run very deep, meaning emotional highs and lows are experienced with total power.Fierce Loyalty: As a fixed water sign, a Scorpio moon forms unbreakable bonds and expects complete devotion in return.Private and Secretive: These individuals guard their inner lives carefully and build emotional walls until they feel safe.Sharp Intuition: They possess high-resolution emotional radar and can read the energy of a room or spot hidden motives instantly.Core StrengthsResilience: They are not afraid of difficult feelings or dark times and possess great inner strength to bounce back from hardship.Transformation: They have a unique capacity for inner growth and healing through life’s major upheavals.Deep Intimacy: They crave real, soul-level connections and offer profound devotion to the people they love.Common ChallengesTrust Issues: A fear of betrayal can lead to deep skepticism, overthinking, or looking for hidden problems that are not there.Control and Grudges: It can be hard for them to let go of control, forgive past hurts, or release painful emotions.Misunderstood Exterior: They can appear tough, cold, or intimidating on the outside, even though they are very soft and kind underneath.

        It’s fairly true with the exception of the forgiveness part. I forgive if i believe someone is truly sorry or not. It saves me grief. I do not allow access to me any longer though, unless I feel they have truly repented. Which honestly… most don’t. I suppose it is far easier to start a new friendship than own wrong doing and fight for a relationship. But that’s just what I’ve experienced.
        I am sorry you have dealt with wild, non-humbled Scorpios.

        1. Michael Williams Avatar

          you’re a scorpio moon as well? that’s cool! that’s a very specific combination of the moon phase and your birth year (from my amateur research on this, btw).
          yeah, the moon signs are totally on point – much better than the sun signs!
          and i was going to write about this but i had to deal with someone i needed to shut out and it was very messy. like, i actually lost sleep because of this but on the good side, it reminded me of how some people just cannot be allowed into your world because theirs is so incredibly messy.

          1. MJ🍸 Avatar

            Oh my goodness! I’m so dumb, πŸ˜‚ I just assumed I was a Scorpio moon sign but then I put in my actual birthdate and year and I’m a Libra one and it’s scary how spot on it is.

            I know what you mean. Like, there are so many unhealthy people out there. I tell my daughter all the time that she cannot befriend an unhealthy individual. Which to me is opposite of 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. Just like she cannot marry someone that she can’t put their name in the place of β€œlove” in that scripture.
            You are worthy of good things. I’m glad that you do know that how others act has nothing to do with you, and entirely between their own ears. Like most wars within.

            In case I didn’t say it already. Enjoy your weekend. Do something you haven’t done in forever.

        2. Michael Williams Avatar

          also, the description is very apt for you. and these are such great qualities that you are giving to your daughter to emulate. she will grow and make her mistakes for sure, but these values you’re giving to her will help her through the challenges young people will have in the coming years!

          1. MJ🍸 Avatar

            Thank you. I know I won’t be around forever, so I pray she will come here and see how much she is valued and know her worth. No one explained anything to me. So, now I kinda over-explain everything. Idk I just want her knowledgeable.
            I appreciate your kind words and friendship.

    Ooh I love astrology but am still a beginner at it!
    My sun sign is also Taurus, born 4/22. There’s also your ascendant, with mine being Aries and it depends on where in the sun sign you are born. Then there’s your moon sign and mine is Pisces.
    The Ascendant sign is what you present to the world, sun is your ego, identity and role-the core of who you are, and moon is your emotions, moods, and feelings-what you most think of yourself as.
    Any way! I sort of hate that Taurus is so tied to money because I’m always worried about money by nature of being the bookkeeper of our business and also the money person at home.

    1. Michael Williams Avatar

      oh my gosh! i did not know about this ascendant sign. now I have more stuff i can happily research πŸ˜€

      and a double oh my gosh on the money lol, it has been, is, and will continue to be the bane of my existence. i don’t know how this aspect came to be for tauruses, but it astounds me that this is far less a mental issue for other signs, at least that’s how i see it!

      may our bookkeeping be easy and pleasant moving forward and, by extension, our house cash flow! haha πŸ™‚

        Check it out! I use Astro.com where you can put in your date, location, and time of birth and there is a free option so you can look around and get an idea of it ALL. I alternate between checking and not wanting to know!

      LOL! ikr??? he is the most out-of-left-field character in the realm of possible characters the question could pose. haha
