The Flapper Ghost does
personality descriptions for Paranormal Astrological
Signs, and gives you your Perfect Paranormal Romantic
Partner!
If you’re a Capricorn
(Dec. 22-Jan.19), your Paranormal Sign is: MUMMY!
Mummies have a surprisingly goofy sense of humor and
are known to get themselves into giggling fits. They love to eat carbs, love
dogs, and love gross stories about body parts. Mummies are flexible in
relationships, and when angered have a tendency to be
passive-aggressive, but even a Mummy will only flex so
far. When a Mummy has been
pushed beyond his limit, prepare for drastic
consequences. A Mummy
without a goal is a rare thing: most Mummies have their gaze firmly
set on a result, and will work diligently to achieve
it, even if it takes years.
Perfect
Paranormal Pairing: Witch
Mummies and Witches are romantically drawn to each
other. Witches love that
here is someone they can protect, and who will let them
be the boss most of the time. Mummies like having someone else take
care of the business end of life, and feel safe and
loved with a Witch. Trouble
occasionally flares when a Witch pushes a Mummy too
far, but at heart the Witch likes to have limits set,
and will respect the Mummy more after a fight than
before.
If you’re an Aquarius (Jan.
20-Feb. 18), your Paranormal Sign is: LOCH NESS
MONSTER!
Loch Ness Monsters are voracious consumers of
information, and both fascinated by the world and
interested in making it a better place. Nessies especially like to know that
what they do has a tangible impact; not for them, the
life in the cubicle doing nameless work on a faceless
product. Their nimble minds
allow them to talk to anyone about anything, and they
love to explore. Nessies
are attuned to the shades of grey in both issues and
people, and have an accepting, remarkably calm
nature. They are optimistic
in their outlook, like most things and people, and feel
that they can indeed make a difference in the world if
given the chance. For all
this general goodwill, Nessies can nevertheless be hard
to get close to.
They’re elusive creatures, but they don’t
mean to be. It’s just
their nature.
Perfect
Paranormal Pairing: Unicorn
Loch Ness Monsters love the sense of stability a
Unicorn brings, and have a deep respect for the
Unicorn’s integrity.
Unicorns rely on Nessies to broaden their experience of
the world, grease the social wheels of life, and be
accepting of the Unicorn’s occasional fussy
funks. While the Unicorn
may work itself into a lather, the calm Nessie rarely
lets all that frothing and foaming cause more than a
ripple on his loch, for which the Unicorn is
grateful.
If you’re a Pisces
(Feb. 19-March 20), your Paranormal Sign is: MERMAID!
Mermaids (or Mermen) really, really don’t like to
have their feelings hurt, and have a distressing
tendency to hide the hurt so well that it takes a
well-attuned person to know that something is
wrong. At worst, a Mermaid
will drown her sorrows alone, but what she really wants
is a hug and to know that she is understood, loved and
valued. Give a Mermaid
this, and she will be a spirited, fun-loving companion
and display a strong intuition that surprises even
herself. Mermaids love
people, laughter, and trying new things. Novelty delights them, but details and
repetition bore them. Many
of them like spicy food, particularly Mexican
food. Mermaids are
nonjudgmental and want the people around them to be
happy: calm waters at home
are essential to their wellbeing. They don’t have a mean bone in
their bodies and can be stunned and confused if someone
is angry with them.
Perfect
Paranormal Pairing: Elf
Mermaids are soothed and comforted by Elves, one of the
few signs with the sensitivity to understand the nature
of Mermaids. With an
Elf’s emotional support, the Mermaid is at her
best and happiest. Elves,
meanwhile, are delighted and entertained by the
Mermaid’s lively nature, and enjoy the excitement
that the Mermaid brings into the Elf’s life with
her love of novelty and new experiences.
If you’re an Aries
(March 21-April 19), your Paranormal Sign is: CENTAUR!
Centaurs are people on the move, always seeking out
greener pastures in hopes that someday they’ll
find one where they want to settle. New territories hold no fear for them,
as they have a solid belief in their own ability to
handle whatever may come their way. They are honest not out of a sense of
virtue, but rather out of seeing no need to protect
themselves with subterfuge, and no need to seek gain
other than by the work of their own hands. When they do find a place, or career,
or relationship that interests them, they will happily
pour all their energies and attention into it, and do
all in their power to make it a success. You can’t fence in a Centaur,
but if you can entice him to stay with the right type
of oats, you’ll have a powerful ally.
Perfect
Paranormal Pairing: Werewolf
The Werewolf and the Centaur share a sense of adventure
and a love of the outdoors.
Both are confident, as they’ll need to be in
order to handle each other.
These two are a continual challenge to each other, even
as they are a continual comfort. Neither would have it any other
way.
If you’re a Taurus
(April 20-May 20), your Paranormal Sign is: ZOMBIE!
Given their druthers, Zombies would stay home eating
good meals of savory foods, and enjoying the swirl of
family life around them.
They like working with their hands and taking on
household projects. They
don’t consciously like stress and drama, but
somehow seem to draw it to themselves anyway. Zombies like pretty, shiny
things and new toys (although they’ll deny it if
you ask), and can have a tendency to be pack rats. Their strongest attribute is a
tender, loving heart capable of great kindness and
loyalty. Their anger is
like a weather squall, brief and intense but generally
passing by without doing harm. Zombies don’t always know their
own minds, being skilled at denial, and are not always
good at listening to others. They’re affectionate homebodies,
though, and can always be relied on in a crisis.
Perfect
Paranormal Pairing: Restless
Spirit
Zombies and Spirits both value the home above all else,
and nothing helps a relationship succeed like a shared
goal. Spirits can be
frustrated by the Zombie’s apparent blindness to
the Spirit’s moods, but this is actually the
great strength of this pairing: the Spirit can moan or scream or shout
as much as she wishes, and the Zombie will be largely
unperturbed. What the
Zombie gets out of the deal is the warm outpouring of
affection and adoration of a passionate Spirit.
If you’re a Gemini
(May 21-June 20), your Paranormal Sign is: FAIRY!
Fairies flit and flutter and zip from here to there in
their thinking and speech, and have a seemingly endless
circle of friends and acquaintances. Their wit enlivens any gathering, they
have dozens of hysterical anecdotes to share, and they
make people laugh without resorting to cattiness or
being crude. Despite all
this, internally the Fairy is always wondering whether
or not people like him, or think he’s blathering
on too long. Fairies have a
deep creative streak that often shows itself in
unexpected ways, bringing delight to others. The Fairy is at his best when he
has an audience for his endeavors, and positive
feedback. Without that
positive feedback, the Fairy can lose motivation and
fall prey to fits of bitterness, and see his life as
bleak. The company of
others soon rouses the Fairy from his doldrums,
however, and he sparkles back to life, bringing smiles
to those around him.
Fairies also have a peculiar fondness for collecting
old things, being intrigued by the imagined past such
objects hold.
Perfect
Paranormal Pairing: Vampire
The Fairy’s private worries about inadequacy are
silenced by the Vampire’s intensely positive
regard. Given the
Vampire’s tendency towards vicious honesty, the
Fairy can rest assured that yes, the Vampire really
does love him, because the Vampire isn’t one to
fake it. The Vampire sees
the Fairy as a magically brilliant social light in her
self-imposed dark world, and happily follows this
will-o-the-wisp to social gatherings where she can sit
quietly and enjoys the Fairy's show.
If you’re a Cancer
(June 21-July 22), your Paranormal Sign is: RESTLESS SPIRIT!
Restless Spirits are creatures of raw emotion, deeply
attached to their homes and loved ones. They are protective of their physical
possessions, to which they have great sentimental
attachment, and which they like to have displayed all
around them. They
constantly want to make small improvements to their
home, and seek creative ways to express their
emotions. Spirits can feel
the heights of passion and the depths of despair to an
exquisite degree, often both within the same day, and
the energies of Spirits can be both exhilarating and
exhausting to those around them. An unhappy Spirit can transform into a
poltergeist, although by morning the mood will have
lifted and the Spirit will be the first to apologize .
Spirits crave affection, and are extremely generous is
giving it out themselves.
The mate of a Spirit may feel that he is living with a
whirlwind, but it is a deeply loving whirlwind that
truly values its mate.
Perfect
Paranormal Pairing: Zombie
Zombies and Spirits both value the home above all else,
and nothing helps a relationship succeed like a shared
goal. Spirits can be
frustrated by the Zombie’s apparent blindness to
the Spirit’s moods, but this is actually the
great strength of this pairing: the Spirit can moan or scream or shout
as much as she wishes, and the Zombie will be largely
unperturbed. What the
Zombie gets out of the deal is the warm outpouring of
affection and adoration of a passionate Spirit.
If you’re a Leo
(July 23-August 22), your Paranormal Sign is: WITCH!
Witches (or Wizards, depending) can be friend or
foe: it’s up to
you. Witches want to make
life better for the people in their lives, and thrive
on offering assistance and acting as a leader in times
of difficulty. A
Witch’s highest calling is to use all her
abilities to help, and all she asks in return is
recognition and loyalty.
Give this, and she will be your protectress. Ignore or berate her, however,
and she will give you a warning to improve your
behavior. If you still
disappoint her, you will be punished. The Witch at her worst can be a
controlling know-it-all, who doesn’t want to let
others make their own decisions. Give a Witch her due, and you will not
regret it: she is generous,
amorous, and wise, and pretty good-looking, too.
Perfect
Paranormal Pairing: Mummy
Mummies and Witches are romantically drawn to each
other. Witches love that
here is someone they can protect, and who will let them
be the boss most of the time. Mummies like having someone else take
care of the business end of life, and feel safe and
loved with a Witch. Trouble
occasionally flares when a Witch pushes a Mummy too
far, but at heart the Witch likes to have limits set,
and will respect the Mummy more after a fight than
before.
If you’re a Virgo
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22), your Paranormal Sign is: UNICORN!
Unicorns are perfectionists in all they do and all they
hope to be. No detail is
too small for their attention, which becomes their
curse as they are rarely able to switch off their urge
to make things – their work, their dress, their
home, their relationships – just a little bit
better. They prefer a neat
and orderly world, but sometimes are so busy chasing
small details that the larger picture becomes a
mess. Unicorns have a
creative bent that is often best expressed in
collaboration with others, often in a managerial
role. Their organization
and fine aesthetic sense help less-disciplined artists
to produce at the highest level. The unicorn’s heart is hard to
reach and even more difficult to capture, but once you
gain it, it is yours for life. The Unicorn never forgets a loved one,
even if it sometimes appears you are far from his
mind.
Perfect
Paranormal Pairing: Loch Ness Monster
Loch Ness Monsters love the sense of stability a
Unicorn brings, and have a deep respect for the
Unicorn’s integrity.
Unicorns rely on Nessies to broaden their experience of
the world, grease the social wheels of life, and be
accepting of the Unicorn’s occasional fussy
funks. While the Unicorn
may work itself into a lather, the Nessie rarely lets
all that frothing and foaming cause more than a ripple
on his loch.
If you’re a Libra
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22), your Paranormal Sign is: ELF!
Elves are deeply interested in their fellow humans and
are often willing to lend a listening ear and words of
sound advice. Elves are
opinionated, but often their opinions are right. The Elf is occasionally
intrigued by weird forms of spirituality, but at heart
the Elf is a rational creature, and rejects them. This is their great
strength: combining a
caring heart with a sound sense of reason. Their decisions are just, and
expressed diplomatically.
Elves have a classic, fairly restrained sense of style
that creates a sense of comfort and welcome, be it in
their dress or their home furnishings. The Elf adores quality for
quality’s sake, and never buys an expensive
object purely to impress others. The Elf’s natural grace in any
circumstance makes them a valued companion the world
over.
Perfect
Paranormal Pairing: Mermaid
Mermaids are soothed and comforted by Elves, one of the
few signs with the sensitivity to understand the nature
of Mermaids. With an
Elf’s emotional support, the Mermaid is at her
best and happiest. Elves,
meanwhile, are delighted and entertained by the
Mermaid’s lively nature, and enjoy the excitement
that the Mermaid brings into the Elf’s life with
her love of novelty and new experiences.
If you’re a Scorpio
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21), your Paranormal Sign is: VAMPIRE!
The Vampire spends a lot of time being alone, and
occasionally lonely, but it’s his own doing. He likes it that way. His mind is constantly watching,
constantly churning, constantly making plans, and the
presence of people can be an unwelcome interruption in
his quiet, internal world.
But Vampires don’t want to be entirely
alone: they seek long and
hard for that one person they can love, and who,
miraculously, doesn’t annoy them. Vampires hate to be asked their
opinion, as they either feel they don’t have
enough information (an encyclopedia’s worth) to
make a proper assessment, or they have an opinion that
they don’t wish to share, as it may come across
as too harsh and they’ll have to spend half an
hour trying to think of a way to make it sound less
abrasive than it really is.
Human interactions can be so tiring for a Vampire,
it’s no wonder they retreat to solitude and only
allow a few chosen ones into their private world.
Perfect
Paranormal Pairing: Fairy
The Fairy’s private worries about inadequacy are
relieved by the Vampire’s intensely positive
regard. Given the
Vampire’s tendency towards vicious honesty, the
Fairy can rest assured that yes, the Vampire really
does love him, because the Vampire isn’t one to
fake it. The Vampire sees
the Fairy as a magically brilliant social light in her
self-imposed dark world, and happily follows this
will-o-the-wisp to social gatherings where she can sit
quietly and enjoys the Fairy's show.
If you’re a Sagittarius
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21), your Paranormal Sign is: WEREWOLF!
The Werewolf is a puppy at heart, eager and exploratory
and loyal. He’s
always on the lookout for adventure, and particularly
loves nature. At heart, all
Werewolves want to be ranchers in Montana, where they
can herd horses and cattle and battle grizzly bears
while providing for the family pack. Werewolves have an idealistic sense of
justice, a flair for the dramatic, and a deep sense of responsibility towards
family. They can bite off
more than they can chew in that regard, and torture
themselves over failing to protect each and every
vulnerable creature – human or animal –
that they come across.
Werewolves can be a bit crass and indelicate, but they
have the truest hearts you can find anywhere.
Perfect
Paranormal Pairing: Centaur
The Werewolf and the Centaur share a sense of adventure
and a love of the outdoors.
Both are confident, as they’ll need to be in
order to handle each other.
These two are a continual challenge to each other, even
as they are a continual comfort. Neither would have it any other
way.
