Manipulation, anyone? The Scorpio side of you is always out for number one, and the amazing quality of your self-aggrandizing tactics is that you so often get away with it by means of your Rat-induced radiant personal magnetism. Direct and forthright, you manage to defuse animosity by making no secret of what's in the deal and for whom. Others can respect such a straight-talking competitor; even if the Rat/Scorpio's concomitant razor-sharp wit and acid tongue can sometimes keep potential allies at bay unless kept in careful check.
As a Dog/Capricorn, you're a boring prude. No, seriously -- if your Capricorn side doesn't uncross those legs and live a little, you might as well climb into your coffin fully dressed. The years have flown past, and what have you done with them? You're a wearer of whalebone corsets and steel-ribbed girdles in an era of frilly lace garter belts. You've got the basic material, so feel free to shake it all around. Your family will understand -- they love you, after all, even if you don't pay much attention to their quiet regard.
