WTF astrology?
Every now and then I try to get into astrology, and I just can't do it.
Why?
Because my horoscopes always say shit like this:
Repairing your foundations and tending to your home front are what give you the launching pad from which to catapult yourself into the outer world. Don't think of it as interference, think of it as support critical to your future. Let the rays of Mars energize your domestic world and charge your batteries for the next step of your journey.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!? And "rays of Mars" sounds super dirty to me.
Why can't they write these things in plain English? Like, "You're going to be busy this month so don't forget to keep track of your credit card bills. Oh yeah, and your car's tire will pick up a nail on the 11th so you'll probably want to check your tires around then. And try to avoid sketchy Chinese food places on Clement St. around the 17th."
But no, instead they gotta be all like, "Nostradamus Astrologer sez FOUR MOAR ENERGY!"
I do find the history of astrology really interesting. The zodiac as we know it today has super ancient origins. There's even a relief carving of it in the temple at Dendera in Egypt! How cool is that?
