We needn't have read our Ovid to know Narcissus. We all do. He sort of stuck out in the old neighborhood. Interesting what happened to him, wasting away for want of a drink while leaning over a pool of clean, non-irradiated water. Just could not bear to disturb his own captivating reflection. Died of thirst. But did you hear that, on the ferry to Hades, he was still at it? That is right. Leaning over the side, gazing at his face in the waters of the River Styx. Charon noticed, of course he did, or we would not have this farewell glimpse of the passenger, but he poled on. Charon had a destination.
There is extreme consciousness of self's appearance, a much practiced awareness, within narcissism. Astrologically, you will find that in a square from Cancer Moon to Venus in Aries. With this consciousness, well fed by study at the mirror, which includes what we might call "mugging", comes familiarity that is kinetic: this muscle change produces that expression or face, if you like. This or that effort is reinforced by the response from other people. In little time, it is reproducible from a bare rapid thought.
Too right! The ability to mimic is powerful in II and )( and Pisces is plastic in this way. Think of the many well known actors of the Sun Sign. Whether Method or representational, they achieve the effect their director desires and produce even more than is asked.
