This article was
published in a french magazine in June 1999. Thanks a lot to
Sabrina, from France, for sharing it with us.
To know an
artist's personality, nothing is better than to check his
zodiacal sign. Tarkan was born under the sign of Libra, which
implies some qualities, but also some faults.
-First
of all, important question, do you believe in astrology?
-Of
course! I don't know too much about it, but I believe in it and I
read my horoscope. I only keep what suits me...And I have the
impression to fit at all what is said about Libra.
-OK!
Libra is said to be sociable. Are you?
-I
believe yes! I'm an open minded person and I adore meeting
people. I need human contact and I'm always searching for others.
-Let's
go on...Libra is said to be irresolute...
-There
are no doubts, it fits me at 100%! To choose is always difficult
for me. Sometimes, I hesitate for a week about the clothes I will
wear at such and such occasion!
-Libras
are also said to be really sensual persons…
-And
even sexual! Here is where I feel the closest to my sign. I adore
kissing, touching the others. Sensuality is really important to
me. Moreover, my ascendant is Scorpio, which gives me a
temperament on fire!
-But
there's a problem, this sensuality often leads Libras to be
unfaithful...
-Unfaithful?
I don't know if I am...Let's say I adore meeting different
people. I adore flirting. But this attitude is risky...In fact, I
believe I could be unfaithful, but I can't lie when I'm in love.
Or if I lie, I put an end to the relationship.
-No
doubt, because Libras are full of justice...
-It's
important. I love thinking I'm a righteous person. I can't lie,
or only little lies specialy to my mum to make her happy...
-Nevertheless,
it's seems the Libras are selfish, they only do all for their own
pleasure...
-Ah, I don't know if it's true...No, all for my own pleasure, I
don't think it really fits me. Be that as it may, I think
pleasure needs limits! If you only think of your pleasure, you
can quickly do something stupid, like taking drugs, etc. No, I
think pleasure mustn't be selfish, it must inevitably come from
the others!
-You
seem to be really opened to the others. Astonishing for a Libra,
who are known to be distrustful?
-Distrustful, me? It's an insult! I hate distrustful people,
there's nothing more stupid! I trust in everybody and too bad if
it turns over me!
-Libras
are also said to be diplomatic...
-Due
to my career, I have to. When there's a problem in my staff, I
have to treat one or the other gently and to be diplomatic.
Except that, I don't believe it is my best quality...Settling
problems between people, I can't always do it. Moreover I'm a
really bad mediator. When I was younger, I tried to make my
friends going out with girls. But it has never worked!
-Libras
are said to love beautiful things...
-I
adore all what is beautiful, things, clothes or people...Beauty
is God's gift and I'm really sensitive to it...
-So,
do you feel really Libra?
-I
have the impression...But well, it's not written on stone, we can
change it. I think our sign pushes us towards some way to act or
think. Then, we can set free from it if it doesn't satisfy us...
