goddamn that pluto and his dark lessons. i've been staring in the mirror lately (like i usually do) and i realized that i'm uglier than i'd previously believed. that sucks, huh? you know how you can look in the mirror and really like what you see but then you get out a digital camera or stand in front of a webcam and realize, "oh my god, i look like an asshole, why am i taking a picture of this?" that's how i feel. why does the camera hate me with a passion. none of the pictures of me reflect what i see in the mirror- and i look in the mirror A LOT. (remember that i am a narcissist.)
i must take into account that i am also going through a pluto/mercury square transit, so my thoughts are anything but bright. but i'm realizing that i need to bump up my self-presentation. i've been working out regularly and am really starting to hate my hair again. and my face is breaking out again. aarrrgghh!
i've been through the ugly phase before, as i've also been through the pretty phase. hopefully, i'll emerge from these transits transformed yet again...

Even a "bad" work by Shakespeare is still better than anything *I've* ever written... and by the same logic, you are still pretty. :)
I think you get the Virgo award of the century, bravo! No seriously lol, I am a Virgo AC & you do Virgo energies proud!
It may come as a disappointment to you, but the you in the mirror does not exist. It is a trick of light and reflection. On the you in the mirror, everything is backward. Right is left. Left is right. But because that is how you've come to understand yourself, that is what you've come to expect to see.
So when you take out a camera, or a webcam, and take a picture of youself, it looks odd to you. It's not that you're ugly in the camera, or that the camera hates you. It's that you're expecting to see what you see in a mirror, but you see something else instead. It's just different enough to make you feel that something is not right. BUT what you see in the camera is the real you. If you show other people the pictures of you, they will say: "It looks just like you!" And other people, like Matthew the Astrologer, for example, like you the way you really are.
Here's an e'speriment:
If your webcam is handy. Try to use it as much as possible instead of a mirror. Try to avoid mirrors. Do this for a few weeks. I think when you get used to seeing the you in the webcam, or the camera, the you from the mirror will become a fading memory....
Soon you will come to understand yourself as the person in the webcam, or in the pictures. When this happens, you will no longer think you look odd on the webcam. You will see what you expect to see, and you will be happy with it!
And then guess what!
When you go back to seeing yourself in the mirror, you will look strange! The mirror will hate you! HahaHahAhahA!! But who cares! The mirror you is not real! It is an illusion!
Actually, I just made all of this up. I've never tried it. If you try it, let me know if it happens the way I predicted....
