Do anyone of you take the time to read your "waste-of-space" Horroscopes, whenever they pass you by? I'm not entirely sure why I started, but I do. And yes, that can be a load of old `nonsese´. But, more often than not, I find I can, somehow, "relate" what is going on in my Life, at the time, to what I am reading, daily, in the 'paper.
Now, I don't believe these people who write them can preidct the future or anything like that, and I think Uri Geller's spoon-bending is some David Blane-like `Hoax´ (...somehow). But I almost-always find that I read my Horoscope on a daily-basis and find some kind of "connection" between this and my Reality.
Anyone else ever noticed that? Anyone else even bothered to READ their Horoscope before??
And even if it's not going to `come-true´ or significantly `change´ anything, it makes me feel good about what may lie-ahead and I feel it, kind of, makes me a `Happier´ person.
But it really does amaze me when things just seem to... "Come-true".
Take this week, for example. On Monday (in `The Mirror´, incase you're interested), I read about how I must be prepared to "take 2-steps forward". Now, I can relate this with something which happened on the same day; how I finally bit-the-bullet and found the confidence within myself to talk to this girl I "admire" but have been too "weak" to do it long-before. And, to me, just talking to her and asking her about things was a big-step for me in my intentions of making something between us - "2 forward", you might even say.
But it also said I must be prepared to take the "inevitavle one-step back", also. And that, I believe, has also happened within the same given situation. I asked for her help in order to find a lift to last night's Christmas Party with work, but she later told me she already had plans to go with her mate - my "one-step back". (...Even though she still did, at least, help me find transport through another person, anyhow.)
And I think even you, just by reading this, can see how each relates to the other, and I find this very strange... And I cannot say it is the first-time this has happened, either. But, it does, usually revolve solely around my so-called "Love-life".
But what DO you think about Horoscopes?
Have you - or DO you - ever experienced "connections" betweem short segments of text and your own life, like this?
They do, however, seem to be `positive´, almost all the time. So, perhaps they are just cleverly-written by smart-thinking minds of those who are knowledgable in the manipulation and understanding of the human mind?
"The average Aries person is `this´. At this time of the year, this time of week, he/she is likely to be experiencing `something like this´..." ?
Or do these people REALLY have "Powers" that enable them to, somehow, predict a kind of future for us all???
Who really knows?! But I'm interested to know what you think - especially if you have read them and been able to relate it well to the on-goings of your own life.

Heh. I think it is inevitable that YOU, of all people, would be the type of person to go and do something like that!
I bet it was in your Horoscop, too - Go, have a look! :)
"You're so `deliberatley vague´!" :P

They can apply because they are deliberately vague, so you can relate it to pretty much anything in your life.
They can apply becuase they are deliberately vague, so you can relate it to pretty much anything in your life.
