I’m a Gem, never been any good at chess. I prefer backgammon, or cards, like uka, 500 or gin (and gin rummy). Really though I prefer pool, or croquet or lawn bowls, got some kind of physicality, quite social, and have strategy elements. Croquet is the ultimate strategy/playing dirty game. Hilarious. And hard to not run about yelling ‘off with their heads’. Of course hardly ever play any of those things and pretty crap at all of them. I’m much more interested in process than outcome, so don’t tend to get ‘good’ at things. Not enough Aries in me obviously, and perhaps too much Taurus.

My Virgo dad’s a killer chess player too and being quite skilled with his hands and wood, made his own chessboard. He was always trying to teach me but i never had the time. Never had the patience to sit still long enough. Anything that required sitting down for long periods of time made me restless, i preferred to run around and climb trees. The IDEA of chess has always appealed to me even though i hate board games. I loved Scrabble and Monopoly though.

ohhh that’s what my Virgo Dad does….he is a strategy nut…a very productive sharing the wealth type of nut, but man he can see an opportunity a mile off.

He is a killer chess player. I haven’t played chess with him since he was a kid…so maybe I’m better at it now myself. As I’ve aged I’ve resisted less against any virgoan traits I have. 3Xplanets lurking about.

Although my Dad would really give a crap about those pencils. It would take more energy to ignore them than it would be to fix them…so I’m sure he would make them all one ended, and use a razor to get the best even point to each one(he used to do this for me when I was at primary school)…I’d be helping with the colour gradient because that was doing my head in.

Me three with Merc is Sagg. Makes me the chatty one. I’ve managed to think of 17 variations to the conversation before the next person responds. Makes me a bit of an info polymath – able to have many thought directions at one, 17 screens open on the computer etc…. Not mad keen on chess. Don’t get it.
Aqua ma loves it. Most Gems I know enjoys it, and they all love sudoku as well. I prefer word games….

My Virgo dad kicks my Pisces’ butt at chess (which he loves). He’s real good. I beat him once, but only because he was trying to watch the news at the same time.

My theory is that the mutables are likely to have their Mercury in a fixed sign…
