Of course our urban-worshipping world of today gives little opportunity for exhibitions of brute force. Gone are the days when a homely young woman would carry babies and bucketfuls of water in the same load up the steepest hill was preferred over her weak and beautiful fairy princess sister. Nowadays people are rewarded for their grasp of the artificial. The girl with the prettiest makeup job is luckier in love than the industrious Cinderella who takes in laundry to help her widowed mother. Our modern hero is the chap with the zippy sports car and the plastic smile. The one in the toothpaste commercials.
So it is that Aries/Ox becomes disenchanted with life and its superficialities. Today's demands for chic and style grate on Aries/Ox's nervous system. Where are the values of yesteryear? wonders the disgruntled Aries/Ox, embittered and finally alienated. I shall move to the country. I'll get an unlisted address. Who needs this phony baloney world?
