Do you read your daily horoscope? #1 (permalink) Thu Oct 12, 2006 8:24 am   Do you read your daily horoscope?
 

Hi,

Do you read your daily horoscope? Do you take it seriously? I did something to my Google home page yesterday and it's now giving me my horoscope:

Quote:
With Mercury still in the spotlight, your cleverness is bursting out at the seams. Although it's already autumn, you are like a runaway garden in full summer bloom. But problems come from the people who might think that you are too extreme. You'll become more self-restrained over the days ahead, so don't close yourself down now just to make someone else feel comfortable
.

I have clearly been warned!

Alan

I don't really read it that much. It never seems to be right - I think I've been slated to win millions or pick up countless amounts of ladies for years now :)

Hi Alan,

I don't believe a word of what horoscopes 'predict'. I've recently developed an interest in astronomy and have thus had dealings with astrology too.
In fact, even if stars and planets have an effect on your life/fate/etc., astrology is not in sync with astronomy regarding the position of the sun. The zodiac dating was established corresponding to the arrangement of the constellations around 300 BC and the stars have drifted a lot since then. I'm supposed to be Taurus, but the Sun was actually in Aries when I was born :)

Could you tell me if the expressions in red sound fine?

Hi Sis,

Yes, the comments in red are fine.

Thanks for your contribution.

Alan
