I turned around; and look what happened; after taking the test for this meme this appalling thing came up.

You are The Sun

Happiness, Content, Joy.

The meanings for the Sun are fairly simple and consistent.

Young, healthy, new, fresh. The brain is working, things that were muddled come clear, everything falls into place, and everything seems to go your way.

The Sun is ruled by the Sun, of course. This is the light that comes after the long dark night, Apollo to the Moon's Diana. A positive card, it promises you your day in the sun. Glory, gain, triumph, pleasure, truth, success. As the moon symbolized inspiration from the unconscious, from dreams, this card symbolizes discoveries made fully consciousness and wide awake. You have an understanding and enjoyment of science and math, beautifully constructed music, carefully reasoned philosophy. It is a card of intellect, clarity of mind, and feelings of youthful energy.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

Now, let's examine this properly.
Youthful energy. Hahahaha.

Busie old foole, unruly Sunne,
Why dost thou thus,
Through windowes, and through curtaines call on us?
Must to thy motions lovers seasons run?
Sawcy pedantique wretch, goe chide	5
Late schoole boyes, and sowre prentices,
Goe tell Court-huntsmen, that the King will ride,
Call countrey ants to harvest offices;
Love, all alike, no season knowes, nor clyme,
Nor houres, dayes, moneths, which are the rags of time.	10
Thy beames, so reverend, and strong
Why shouldst thou thinke?
I could eclipse and cloud them with a winke,
But that I would not lose her sight so long:
If her eyes have not blinded thine,	15
Looke, and to morrow late, tell mee,
Whether both the'India's of spice and Myne
Be where thou leftst them, or lie here with mee.
Aske for those Kings whom thou saw'st yesterday,
And thou shalt heare, All here in one bed lay.	20
She'is all States, and all Princes, I,
Nothing else is.
Princes doe but play us; compar'd to this,
All honor's mimique; All wealth alchimie.
Thou sunne art halfe as happy'as wee,	25
In that the world's contracted thus;
Thine age askes ease, and since thy duties bee
To warme the world, that's done in warming us.
Shine here to us, and thou art every where;
This bed thy center is, these walls, thy spheare.	30
John Donne

Many folk believe non-rational things, in fact, I fear almost all of us do in some way or another.
Be wise and soothing rather than hidebound and good will come of it.

I'm a very spiritual person, but as far as I know, the only other people to have had anything close to my religion were a group of monks in north Japan probably a thousand years ago or longer. They were all wiped out by the army of the Emperor at the time for heresy. However, even given that, I'm just not into a lot of the popular "mystic" stuff that floats around, and the pomp that goes with it.

That does describe me fairly well in most respects, but I find it amusing that it came up as what it did given the answers on that little survey I gave them. They so conflict each other that I'd love to see the percentage of each choice that I "fit" with that a lot of these tests do in order to decide what result you get. That must be interesting to see how close they all were.
