Synastry is, to
put it simply, the astrology of relationships. It’s commonly
referred to as compatibility, though most references to astrological
compatibility only reach the very surface of synastry, and thus are
not reliable.
Much of
astrological compatibility refers solely to the sun signs, or rejects
the importance of sun signs entirely. Neither approach is correct.
Think of the saying “can’t see the forest for the trees” - in
this case, some can’t see the trees for the forest. There must be
balance.
All of the
energies in the natal chart must be acknowledged when studying
synastry, not just the Sun’s or that of Venus or Mars, and not just
ruling elements.
In the following
article, I will explain the divisions of the Zodiac. This is the third part of the series on synastry, you can find the rest at #synastry basics.
The Zodiac is
divided three different ways: Element, Polarity, and Modality. Each
method of division defines the qualities of the signs, their
personalities, and their overall drive. The overlap of these
divisions creates each sign’s unique identity, which is discussed
at the end of this section, under The Signs in Full.
These divisions
create not only personality but compatibility. When looking
specifically at signs, it is important to acknowledge these parts of
their identity as they are so influential.
Elements
The Elements
divide the Zodiac into four groups of three. Traditionally, these
energies were considered the soul of the universe, the heart of its
design, and in astrology they are key building blocks of the signs’
identities. Each element represents a basic construct of the human
psyche, or personality, meaning the elements and their presence or
lack thereof can be revealing.
Before I go
further, it is important to specify that the elements of single signs
in the chart, while important, should not be focused on solely.
Remember how we began: Can’t see the forest for the trees.
Elements are just one part of a sign’s identity, and not only that
the element ruling over one planet should not be focused upon so
greatly that the dominant element in an individual’s chart
is forgotten, or the dominant element so focused upon that the
individual elements are forgotten.
In synastry,
signs of the same element are considered the most compatible in the
long run. They share similar views on life and the same polarity,
which I’ll get to momentarily. The next most compatible would be
the other element that makes up the same polarity - again, because of
this shared viewpoint and general personality.
Fire:Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius
The initiator,
the leader, the seeker - Fire is an element of great energy and
response. These signs can come off as egotistical, simply
unsympathetic, or immature. As lovers, they are highly loyal, seek to
care for their partner, and often desire to take the lead in their
relationships. Those with strong Fire influences in their natal chart
will be outgoing, optimistic, determined, and energetic.
Fire signs are
most compatible with other Fire signs, or Air signs, but there can
also be difficulties in these relationships. When Fire signs engage
with other Fire signs, there’s always the possibility of butting
heads or being consumed by their attraction.
With Air, Fire
signs can take too much from their partner, feeding off of their
energy in a sense. A balance must be found between the two.
Venus in Fire
Venus in a Fire
sign means that an individual will express their affection actively.
They seek to show love physically and through acts of kindness and
love. They want to go out with their partner and dote on them, often
desiring to provide for them fully.
To show them
love, accept their displays. Simply going along with their dates, no
matter how wild they may be, is enough to show Fire signs you truly
love them.
Earth:Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn
Earth is the
source of endurance in the Zodiac. It represents hard work,
practicality, and control. When there is a strong influence of Earth
in the natal chart, natives will be reliable, logical, and
responsible.
Earth signs are
extremely loyal and seek commitment above all else in their
relationships. They will fight for their relationship, and their
partner, their faith being unwavering. At the same time, they can
often come off as cold or too materialistic, not to mention their
stubbornness.
Earth signs are
most compatible with other Earth signs, or Water. With other Earth
signs, solidarity is to be expected, but also conflict. While Earth
signs share similar views on love and life it can be extremely hard
for them to work things out considering their reluctance to admit
when they’re wrong.
As for Water,
Earth can provide the perfect support for the volatility of Water,
and Water the perfect nurturing for Earth’s often neglected
emotional needs. This match, too, can be difficult considering the
sensitivity of Water and the seemingly insensitivity of Earth.
Venus in Earth
Venus in Earth
signs are physical and material lovers. They seek to show their love
through providing material and financial goods for their partners.
Supporting someone financially is, to Earth signs, a great show of
love. They also show affection through the body, though they avoid
public displays for the most part.
The best way to
show them love is through time. They don’t expect you to repay them
or anything like that, but instead to spend the day with them and
they will often try to find small ways to be around you, even if you
aren’t engaging with each other.
Air:
Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius
This element is
highly versatile. In the natal chart, Air indicates a native will be
open-minded, animated, and sharp.
Air is associated
with intellect, wit, and communication, and these signs need to feel
mentally matched by their romantic partners. Communication is at the
heart of all of their relationships, as is a sense of friendship
beneath the romance. They also need a lot of freedom in their
relationships which can manifest as a sort of “casualness.”
Air is most
compatible with Air, and then Fire. With other Air signs, the shared
need of freedom and appreciation of communication can make
relationships harmonious. There is a unique ease to these connections
that is unmatched. Still, there can be struggles for them, the two
drifting apart without more of a spark.
With Fire, Air
signs will flourish. They enjoy the freedom and lightheartedness of
the connection between them. The relationship can also be stifling,
however, as Fire feeds on Air.
Venus in Air
Air signs show
their romantic love in ways most would associate with platonic
affection. Their dates are usually simple, if they aren’t taking
their partner out to some new and interesting - if strange -
restaurant, art festival, or something similar that is. They show
their affection by keeping a level head and helping their lover
through their problems or emotional struggles, though this method of
theirs can sometimes come off as cold.
To show them
love, speak with them. Tell them outright that you love them. Show
them you love them by making it clear you enjoy speaking with them.
Water: Cancer,
Scorpio, Pisces
Strong Water
influences in the natal chart indicate an intuitive, emotive, and
compassionate native. Water signs seek comforting, deeply emotional
connections with others. They need a supportive partner, someone who
can provide stability as, just like the element they are defined by,
Water signs are somewhat volatile and intense.
Water is most
compatible with other Water signs, or with Earth. When two Water
signs connect, there are a lot of intense emotions and passion. Just
as the others, when Water is with its own Element, there is an
easiness to expression and relationships due to their shared views.
At the same time, the volatility can compound when two Water signs
come together.
With Earth, Water
can sometimes overwhelm their partner entirely with their needs and
emotions, but they also can soften Earth, assisting them in their own
way.
Venus in Water
Individuals with
Venus in a Water sign in their chart are highly receptive
emotionally. The best way to show them love is to open up to them and
express your true feelings. They recognize this as a show of trust
and, in a way, devotion. They need intimacy to feel appreciated and
adored.
Water signs show
love much in the same way they need to be loved. They are there for
their partner emotionally, and often seek to show love in small ways.
They provide creature comforts for their partner: Food, a place to
stay, and the like.
★
Polarities
Polarity is the
largest division of the Zodiac, as it splits the signs into two
groups often referred to as Positive and Negative or Yin and Yang.
Polarity will be referred to as Yin and Yang in this article as the
symbol of the Yin-Yang, the unity and perfection of the circle, truly
embodies the polarities.
For some
background, the Yin-Yang is a symbol in Chinese philosophy used to
represent how seemingly opposing or contradictory forces in nature
may actually be interconnected and interdependent. This applies to
the concepts of light and dark, fire and water, earth and air, and so
on. Just as the image itself suggests, these two forces are united,
and they each contain a part of the other. This is true of the
polarities within the Zodiac.
Polarities mark
the most basic of personality traits: Are you extroverted or
introverted?
Yin is made up by
Earth and Water: Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and
Pisces.
Yin signs are
introverted, introspective, and prefer to spend time with their
partners alone. They show love through very personal ways. Quiet time
with their partner is what they seek above all else.
Yang is made up
by Fire and Air: Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and
Aquarius.
Yang signs are
extroverted, social, and prefer to spend time with their partners out
and about, among others. They show love in bolder, more social ways.
They want to go out with their partner and their friends, not stay
in.
This is a simple
but key difference in desire, one that can greatly affect a
relationship. Yin is most compatible with other Yin signs, Yang with
other Yang signs, and yet the attraction to the opposite polarity can
be intense.
In cases like
this, it’s important to look at the dominant polarity above all
else, but the polarity of highly influential heavenly bodies such as
the Sun, Moon, and Venus can shift an individual’s leaning greatly.
★
Modes
This division is
determined by the position of the sign in the movement of the wheel,
the evolution of the Zodiac signs. The three Modes, otherwise known
as Quadruplicities, shape the goals and worldviews of the signs.
Unlike the Elements and Polarities, however, signs of the same Mode
are the least compatible. This is due to the fact that they naturally
form a square aspect.
In this case, the
views shared by these signs can make them too similar, and
thus create tension in a relationship.
Cardinal:Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn
These signs are
literally the starters of the Zodiac. They are leaders, creators, and
makers. Self-motivated and confident, these are the types that can do
anything they put their mind to. Naturally, they seek to control, not
to be controlled, meaning they can often clash even if their methods
of “control” are very different.
When these signs
come together, there can be a great struggle to find a balance of
power that works for the couple, even when they are compatible in
other areas. Both will seek to take charge, and unless they can
compromise, allowing one partner to perhaps lead in one area of life
and the other to take charge in a different area, they’re certainly
going to clash and clash hard.
With Fixed signs,
there can be tension due to the Cardinal desire to lead and the
stubbornness of Fixed signs. Otherwise, these two groups can be
highly compatible. Both are protective, in a sense, and the respect
between them is great. When they work together, they can make quite
the power couple, with the Cardinal signs charging ahead and the
Fixed signs supporting their cause.
Mutable signs can
be both frustrating and quite pleasant with Cardinal signs. Mutable
signs are naturally more yielding than their fellow Modes, meaning
they are typically content to let Cardinal signs take the wheel. The
dynamic between them is more harmonious because of this.
Fixed:Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius
Fixed signs are
the conservationists and stabilizers. In honor of the evolution of
the Zodiac, they take what was created by the Cardinal signs before
them and maintain it.
To put it simply,
these are the stubborn signs, but that hardly does them justice. The
Fixed signs endure, persist, and have endless patience. Their
role is to protect and care for - even nurture, at times - and they
bring this part of themselves to their romantic affairs more often
than not.
This can be
extremely beneficial to any relationship, but at the same time
dangerous. The Fixed signs’ unwillingness to give up can shift from
positive to negative. They can become possessive and obsessive they
are so determined to maintain a relationship, no matter what that
relationship may be.
This is why it
can be extremely difficult for these signs to engage in a
relationship with each other. Their unwavering focus can so easily
become all consuming if their partner possesses the same trait. It’s
best if they are balanced by another sign.
With Cardinal
signs, Fixed signs can feel as if they have come upon a kindred
spirit in many ways, but at the same time this similarity can cause
some tensions. Again, however, their possessiveness can prove
stifling to Cardinal signs, and Cardinal signs’ desire to control
stifling to them in turn.
Fixed signs can
form very solid relationships with Mutable signs when they are not
clashing over their conflicting goals. Mutable signs seek to change,
to evolve, and grow while Fixed signs are all about maintaining,
stability, and keeping certain things unchanged - even revolutionary
Aquarius seeks to maintain their unyielding beliefs. This clash can
be unmatched, but it can also lead to amazing growth when the couple
is able to overcome it.
Mutable:Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces
Mutable Signs
bring about the end of each quadrant of the Zodiac and, with Pisces,
the entire Zodiac cycle. They are here to expand, to move on from
what has already been formed. These are the signs that roll with the
punches, that are bendable, and highly adaptable. They let go of the
control kept by the signs that came before them, letting the natural
course of things to take place.
Part of their
role requires them to have blind faith and confidence in themselves
and others. This makes them more flexible and open than the other
Modes, and in their flexibility lies both their greatest strength and
their greatest weakness.
Mutable signs are
highly dynamic and find it easy to expand, grow, and face challenges
because they are so open to shifting focus. At the same time, they
lack direction and typically don’t have long-term goals. In
relationships, they can get through almost anything, and help their
partner along while they’re at it, yet they can prove unreliable to
those they love in one way or another.
When Mutable
signs are together, their relationship can feel messy and unfocused.
The couple doesn’t have set goals, and if they do manage to form a
plan they struggle to stay on the same page. If they can overcome
this, however, their relationship can be very powerful as they assist
in each other’s growth.
With Cardinal
signs, Mutable signs can feel quite at peace. Both seek to change in
their own unique ways, and Mutable signs will yield control to the
Cardinal. Cardinal can respect Mutable’s resilience, and Mutable
Cardinal’s confidence. Together, these seemingly opposing forces
can do great things.
While Saturn does cause limitations and hardships, no denying there, it really can cause a person to be more independent, wise, patient and aware of when to hold on and when to let go. I think people get so caught up in Saturn being the Lord of karma and limitations and forget about the fact that Saturn is also about wisdom, maturity and growth, especially spiritual growth. Saturn is a teacher, but the teacher that everyone dislikes just because it’s not always smiley, optimistic and happy. Yes being happy and optimistic is needed but also being realistic and mature is also needed. That’s why wisdom is usually found or seen in older age not in youth, cause in youth there’s confusion, exploration and experimenting but old age is the contentment, the quietness and results after a long time searching. That’s why Saturn awards people later, cause with age comes wisdom and truth.
Depending on the elements in our charts, we tend to look at the world from a different perspective entirely.
Fire: Reacts with impulse and bold ideas, but may not look at the practicalities or impact on others, a bit like Air, but less cerebral and more from instinct and a feeling of fire in their bellies.
Earth: Looks at things practically, which may hinder innovation and inspiration at times. How can a thought or concept be applied with what I have here and now?
Air: Interesting ideas and concepts, weird and wonderful, often innovative but not necessarily practical or thoughtful of the reaction and impact on others.
Water: Often looks at things in a more compassionate and empathic manner. Creative, but understands that no one person is an island.
rising signs often represent the lenses with which we see the world through soooo yeah. this is very archetypal so take that into consideration.
aries rising lenses- these rising signs have two, highly contrasting and opposite lenses (they see things in black and white- no grey). the colors are enhanced and bright, but opposite on either side. there’s a reddish tint on both of the lenses however, and they tend to focus on the positive and exciting aspects of life.
taurus rising lenses- taurus rising lenses help the person see the beauty in everything. they’re a green tint, and pinks are enhanced. they exude a sense of calmness and tranquility. these lenses don’t hide the bad however, just focuses on the beautiful.
gemini rising lenses- these lenses are yellow tinted, and are also transition lenses. each setting the gemini rising goes to, their view changes. these lenses help them attain all the knowledge the world has to offer. changeable, fluid, and youthful.
cancer rising lenses- cancer risings have blue lenses, a somber and soulful view of the world. the lenses help them see the souls of others and empathize deeply. tend to accentuate their large, moony, eyes. sees the world in emotions.
leo rising lenses- orange and golden lenses allow the leo rising to exude confidence and elegance. see the world as a place to perform, everyone around them being an audience member. sunsets and bright lights are enhanced.
virgo risings lenses- grey/blue toned lenses. a sobering and realistic view of the world, with an eye for the pain that exists all around them. stands out to only those who choose to see them. sees the world as a responsibility yet also a library.
libra risings lenses- rose tinted glasses quite literally. this rising gives the ability to exude positivity, kindness, and friendliness. ignores and escapes the reality of the world. similar to the taurus rising, focuses on the beautiful.
scorpio rising lenses - deep, purple tinted lenses. sees the world intensely and passionately, with the darker side of life enhanced. tends to see only the harsher side of the world, all the tragedy that exists. exudes mystery.
sagittarius rising lenses- bright green tinted lenses. this allows the sagittarius rising to see every possibility. optimism, luck, and friends are often acquired. they see the world in every variation and in all of its’ diversity. notices and appreciates culture.
capricorn rising lenses- black and white lenses. these make the capricorn rising think they are seeing the world how it really is, but in fact is a highly pessimistic view. exudes restriction, elegance, and wisdom. sharp criticism and ambition.
aquarius rising lenses- neon blue lenses. sees all of humanity with their lenses, and acts as a messenger to the people, bringing knowledge and information at lightning speed. embodies electricity, friendliness, and eccentricity
pisces rising lenses- rainbow lenses. in each setting, a certain color can be presented as they are mutable and fluid, to fit whatever situation they’re in. sees the world in every possible way. both exudes naivety and wisdom.
Something that people really don’t understand about Saturn is the concept of having to strive & struggle for something – Saturn doesn’t work the same way as the other planets, especially not the benefics. Most of the time, Saturn’s placement in a chart doesn’t come easily, it has to be worked for. I don’t just mean the “positive” indications, either. Even harsh aspects to Saturn or difficult house positions don’t necessarily just appear in a person. Sometimes they really do have to be experienced, discovered, grown into, and earned before they even begin to manifest at all. This says a lot about the signs associated with Saturn. Capricorn is said to rule Saturn so it shows more easily within them; usually, they earn Saturn at a very young age. Aquarius, the Vedic co-ruler of Saturn, generally has to earn their individuality. Libra – exaltation of Saturn – is the most interesting here. Many people say Libra doesn’t seem very cardinal because they’re passive, gentle, manipulative, what have you. This is because they must earn their strength & assertiveness. It says a lot, because exaltation is elevation / ennoblement / optimization of the planet. So when you interpret Saturn’s placement in a chart, don’t assume his influence is inborn, because that’s a very immature way of looking at him. Saturn is all about the process, the work, the trial, the journey, the search, the lesson.
Our 11th house rules friends, groups and communities. Planets and signs there show how you are in front of your friends and in a group. It also show the kind of friends do you feel attracted to!

relationships and tends to have a lot of frenemie relationships. On the other hand, they can focus all their energy on defending their friends and fight anyone who threatens them and their friendship.
♃
Jupiter in the 11th house is the kind of people who weirdly get along with EVERYONE and seem to have friends around the world. They expand themselves through friendships and new people. However, they can become inconsiderate of that that are less socially savy (i.e that obnoxious kid that is constantly telling you to dance in a party).
♄
Saturn in the 11th house is the kind of people that keep friends forever but have a hard time getting friends at first. They get disappointed when their need of stability isn’t fullfil by their friends. Can be very critical over people and, therefore, damaging their relationship. Anyway, they want the best for their friends and when they find the right people, they’ll be the most loyal friends ever.
♅
Uranus in the 11th house is the kind of people that constantly change friends in order to get new experience. They like people who have something new to offer and have strange interests. However, they may reject people that don’t share the same moral values and politic view as them. They might reject urban tribes and may want to start their own club/group.
♆
Neptune in the 11th house is the kind of people who put their friends at the top. Their friends are not bad, they’re not hurting them. They’re perfect and, of course, better than the person with this placements. People tend to reflect themselves in this person, put on them high expectatives and and mispercieve them. People with this placements tend to have struggles with letting people walk over them. However, they’re very comforting and intuitive.
♇
Pluto in the 11th house is the kind of people that, like Uranus, constantly change friends. They may have trust issues and, therefore, have a hard time forming durable bonds and getting along with groups. When they finally trust the other person, the bonds are intensily strong.

You’ll often see people refer to themselves as “Libra-dominant”, “Mercury-dominant”, or “[insert any sign or planet here]-dominant,” meaning that their natal chart is colored by this sort of energy. The dominant energy of any birth chart reveals the recurring themes and characteristics that an individual will encounter in their lifetime and is an important distinguishing factor. So here’s a step-by-step guide in order to calculate your dominant planets.
Step 1: Going to Astrodienst Website
The first step would be to go to astro.com, the official website for Astrodienst. If you don’t have an account (and you don’t have to make one), then you’ll find a page that looks like this.
There’s a lot going on here, but there’s no need to be intimidated. You can find your dominant planets easily.
Step 2: Navigation
Hover your mouse on the “Free Horoscopes” tab near the top of the page, right next to the “Home” button. You will see a drop-down menu that looks like this:
As shown on the image above, click on “Extended Chart Selection” in the third column, underneath “Drawings & Calculations.”
*Shortcut:*
If you want to simplify things, you can also access this section with this link.
There’s no need to create an account if you don’t want to, so just click on the data entry page(linked here). Here, you’ll input your natal chart information. I used Marilyn Monroe as an example.
If you’re not sure of your birth time, either choose “unknown” or 12 p.m. for the hour, because that is the default information. Once you’re finished, click “continue.
Step 4: Chart Selection
You’ll be re-directed to a page that looks like this:
Next to “Methods”, click on the “Pullen/Astrolog” tab as noted by the pink arrow.
Next to “Please select the type of chart you want:”, there will be a drop down menu. Select, “Simple chart delineation by Walter Pullen,” as highlighted above. Then click on the blue button to find the chart.
Step 5: Finding Your Dominants
The page will appear like the one below:
Scroll a little below halfway down the page, past the descriptions of your placements and midpoints. Then you will find the calculations for your dominant signs and planets.
It’s a lot of information to process, so let’s break it down:
First, let’s take a look at the planetary percentages:
We can see that Ms. Monroe’s dominant planets are Mercury, then the Sun, then Saturn.
Next, sign percentages:
Her dominant signs are Gemini, Aquarius, and Scorpio (with Pisces ranking a very close fourth).
Her dominant element is air, and dominant modality is fixed.
Aries:Agression - Arians are bold and strong but not naturally aggressive in the sense that most think. As the children of the Zodiac they can struggle to express themselves and view emotions in a somewhat immature way. They feel that revealing the soft, loving, delicate part of them that hopes and dreams in ways that no other Sign could ever is a weakness, so they cover it up with a mask of aggression.
Taurus:Confidence - Taureans can seem like the most put-together, strong, and intelligent individuals of the Zodiac but deep down they are afraid. They don’t feel secure emotionally so they put up a front of being above such feelings and are typically materialistic - objects won’t let them down or turn them away, people do. When they feel weak, alone and they need something to rely on, they fake it till they make it.
Gemini:Know-it-all - Geminis have a lot of information swirling around in their heads and they are very intelligent. But they can use this intelligence as a mask. They act like they know it all, as if their knowledge makes them better, because at times they feel like that’s all they have. And if they have nothing to offer, no one will listen to them, no one will talk to them or value them.
Cancer:Sensuality - Soft Cancerians, so desperate for love, will use their sexuality as a method of receiving attention, to make up for feeling unloved, or because their gentler, romantic view of love is not always viewed favorably by today’s society. They need love and true connections which can be stunted by the harsh world around them and lead to this coping method or front.
Leo:Pride - We all know about a Lion’s pride but very few realize why Leos put up this front. In short, it’s because they are insecure. They boast and seek to control the world around them because on the inside they are in fact self-conscious. The next time a Leo seems too abrasive or pushy cut them some slack, they are doing what they can to feel secure.
Virgo:Dependability - Virgos are dependable, don’t get me wrong, but they try very hard to be. Their biggest fear is to be useless. When they are being your shoulder to lean on, in a strange way they are leaning right back on you. They need to help others, or at least be needed by them, to feel worth something. Though they may see so stable all on their own, they truly need others but they aren’t always ready to admit it.
Libra:Perfection - Librans feel they must be perfect at all times, they allow themselves no room for error, all because they care so deeply about what others think of them. They must meet the approval of others, this is their greatest desire, so they seek to appear as perfect as possible whether perfection to them is top grades and a clean appearance or appearing as if they don’t care and are above it all. In reality they are just like the rest of us behind that mask.
Scorpio:Cynicism - Scorpios are not cynical and dark to their core, they are simply afraid to hope. They know the dark inner workings of the mind and society, so love and success can seem like a mere fantasy to them no matter how desperately they want it. Pessimism becomes a shield protecting them from being let down or worse. No matter how distant they may seem, on the inside they are still hoping.
Sagittarius:Independence - To Sagittarius, independence is perhaps the most important thing in their world so when they are in need, instead of seeking out support or someone to lean on, they pretend to need no one. Despite being social creatures who seek to communicate and learn from those around them, they can’t admit that they need someone to come home to at the end of the day, making them sometimes appear hot and cold to others. Instead of seeking out what they need, they put up a front.
Capricorn:Seriousness - Capricorns are ruled by severe Saturn so it only makes sense that they work so hard to seem strong and mature, but this is only another front. On the inside they are trapped children who often didn’t have a proper childhood - sometimes this is simply because they themselves expect too much. If you give them the chance they’ll show you just how awkward, loud, and immature they really are.
Aquarius:Intimacy - Aquarians have a complicated relationship with society. They have a lot of friends and are very social but no matter how outgoing and intimate they may seem they are truly closed off. They want to be social and popular but at the same time they are afraid to grow close to another person, to open up and share their emotions. They fear that they will always be outside looking in yet they also fear what might happen if they truly let go. So they get as close as they can and hide their fear behind a mask.
Pisces:Lightheartedness - That Pisces that always seems to be in their own little world, who giggles and never seems to take things seriously? They are burdened by thoughts and feelings beyond what your average person experiences let alone handles. Their lighthearted, unsophisticated behavior is all a front in hopes of lessening that burden. If you were haunted, would you be strong enough to bear that smiling mask?
