So, what’s your big three?

23 February 2026

It’s not really a big deal, I just want / to know if our planets align. / Oh, no, I really don’t care, but / what is the exact latitude and / longitude of the place your mother / gave birth? And what time? / Do you like the sun, the moon, the / stars? Are you attracted to water? / Because I’m full of it! Ha ha, no really, / I don’t care. I’m a Cancer: I’ll make / a good husband. Plus, my moon / is in Pisces. / Yeah, the fish. So, you / do know some things. Like I said / before, I’m full of water, lol, but, yeah / no worries if you don’t know. I’m sending / you an app in case you’re curious about / our destiny. / Oh, I mean your destiny. My / bad. Virgo rising. That’s the balance in / me. But I’m really chill, / go with the flow, / you know? When’s your birthday? April? / Like the whole month? Mysterious. No / judgment from me. I’ll nurture you anyway. / It’s in my nature. But, okay, so, like, you’re / totally an Aries. You’re really burning me / up. But that’s cool! I’m totally fine with that. / It’s just that, maybe our sun signs have some / questionable compatibility. I mean we’re not, / to be quite honest. Compatible. But, / what’s your moon? Were you born / in the morning? I’m not prying, / I promise. I want to take / care of you. Build a home. Stay home. / I really think your fire and my water / balance us out. I won’t put you out, I / swear. Before I came here, I pulled some / cards. / The four of wands, harmony, cele / brations. It’s a really good one. Plus, I / pulled the emperor, so I already knew you / were an Aries. It’s just intuition. More / Cancer qualities! I’m creative. Aren’t you / into that? Your profile said you like art / museums. Well, my art isn’t in museums, / but do you like libraries, too? Because / I could show you something I’ve written. / You like art but not artists? Wow. Double / Aries. You really don’t hold back. / I just care about your feelings. But, yeah, / morning or night? That’s all I want to know.
