She's Into Superstition.
Me, I'm a Taurean.
That makes me:
Patient and reliable
Warmhearted and loving
Persistent and determined
Placid and security loving
On the dark side that makes me:
Jealous and possessive
Resentful and inflexible
Self-indulgent and greedy
Some kind of package, eh?
Astrology is a truly clever invention, because it preys upon our need to know. I want to know how the world views me; I want to know how I fit; it's fascinating to predict the future; it's comforting to know I'm better off with a Virgo than an Aquarian.
The fact that astrologists, palm-readers, psychics, seers, taroists and sundry other future-gazers can still make a living shows how desperately we are - we need to know anything about ourselves we don't already know. Fear of the unknown, especially the future, is a vestige of our less knowledgeable past.
But not knowing the future is a problem only if you think it is. Imagine if you had a printout of the course of your life from now until the hour of your death; would that make the days between now and then less stressful?
See, I think that remaining calm in the face of chaos and the randomness of the universe is the great adventure. If you accept the unknown, you don't resent what happens, and if you can stay flexible and philosophic, you don't mind what happens.
That's why I would think carefully about a girlfriend with a heavy astrology or tarot habit - it strikes me as slightly nutty. But that's because I'm a Taurus, and we can be judgmental.
Bottoms Up, Stargazers.

You're not a good match with an Aquarian???
*Hopes and dreams of becoming the future Mrs. Wombat shattered*
Have you read Linda Goodmans 'Love Signs'? it's the bible. Lol
There's always an exception to the rule, Snaf. Wait, what am I saying? I think my point is that all that stuff is guff, so it shouldn't matter that you're...whatever you are.
In any case, you're The Snaf; you have your own starsign.
Up until yesterday I kept Linda's book by my bedside, Doc30ty. But then when I was cleaning, the vacuum went retrograde with respect to the nightstand, and sucked the whole thing up into a vortex, which sounds remarkably like my love life.
Linda didn't tell me that was going to happen.
I don't believe in astrology, but that's typical of an Aries.
Wise, Ian. Very wise. Astrology will lead you to all kinds of moral turpitude.
I believe in "selective superstition" so if it works for me at the time, then I follow it. Come to think of it, maybe that's what all of it is.
As for moral turpitude, it's a good thing the book got sucked up then because you wouldn't want your otherwise unblemished chastity and decorum to get tarnished by following your horoscope. Now admitting you've faked orgasms, that's a, well, slippery moral slope--lol.
Pragmatic Superstition perhaps, Miss Jones?
In mathematics and engineering I think that call that "curve fitting". But we all do that a little bit :-)
And you are dead right; my virtue will remain as long as I can successfully defend them, but I might have seen the light regarding Fake-Os.
I'll keep you informed.
No preconceptions here about the future. There isn't a thing I can do to change it. Even the futile attempt is recorded already as my future.
Not being one that believes in astrology, when I meet a lady that is big into that stuff, it's best I stay out of her neurosis lest it manifests into a pychosis all over my future.
However if she is bent on bedding this lad, I may at least keep my opinions to myself for at least another few hours. It makes for the perfect out card once she learns you are a true heretic.
taurians are judgemental?:\
I'm finding more and more astrological buddies! happy belated birthday
tho most of this kind of stuff these days is all just babble. people who truly know their stuff, like learned studied years, from ancestor, old knowledge kinda stuff. really do know what they speak of. no joke.
Thanks, Middle C, but you're early. Sometime soon though. You're nice to wish me well.
;-)
Hey, that reminds me, I was going to do your cards!!!
Whatever happened to that?
