Hey I know I rarely post blogs, but I was moved to post one about astrology and horoscopes.
I've never been one to believe in horoscopes, but the more research I do and the more I pay attention to the details and the little things, the more I question myself - how powerful are the stars?
For example, I am going to hang out with a friend tonight and I'm really excited because I'm going to get to go around Philly again and I get to hang out with him. At the same time, I've been really worried about work; that is, the work ethic of people there, the quality, etc. After I woke up this morning, I went to check my Myspace and I click on my horoscope. I'll quote it:
"Your mind is on your work, even if you're not at the office. You are likely thinking of what you need to do to better your position in the outer world. And although you'd probably rather be with your family or friends, don't miss an opportunity to take charge of a situation. This is not about doing anything specific; it's about the creative visualization that can open up possibilities for your future."
Coincidence? Pure happenstance? Or something more? Of course, we'll never know the answer, but it's always cool to wonder about things like that. Another example. I did a compatibility "test" on the same website for friendship for my best friend, Tom, and me. Here's the quote:
"You gain great comfort from Capricorn's stable influence, while your pal is inspired by your tremendous passion for life. When life becomes overwhelming, run to the Goat's side. Their practical advice will seem like an anchor in a storm. In turn, you can reignite Capricorn's inner spark whenever it becomes extinguished by worldly concerns. Both of you are very deep people and take a serious interest in things like art, politics and religion. When it comes time to blow off steam, you find refreshment in hiking, rock climbing and biking. Working on your respective family trees could also prove diverting. If you're searching for an artistic outlet, the two of you might try pottery or jewelry-making. This is one of those friendships where you can enjoy comfortable silences together."
It's funny because that's all 100% true. My favorite part (for those of you who know Tom) is "When life becomes overwhelming, run to the Goat's side. Their practical advice will seem like an anchor in a storm. In turn, you can reignite Capricorn's inner spark whenever it becomes extinguished by worldly concerns." That's exactly how we are - yin and yang - a good balance. We just don't make jewelry or pottery... Yeah. Awkward.
In summary, I need to say that this is pretty damn cool. Even if people don't believe in it, I do and I think that nature is very cool and, well, perfect. Have a great day =)
