astrological MADNESS!

good grief, if ONE more person tries to confirm the method of my madness with my astrological sign, ill scream!

"whats your sign?"


"pisces."


"oh yes, that explains it!"

explains what? what some bored sorcerer or 800 number psychic somewhere made up, many moons ago to keep people entertained? in my opinion, horoscopes, signs, etc..all that has been taken way too far. i honestly think people use it as a crutch to explain their behavior.

"oh im a leo, you know how we are!"

actually, i dont. because i dont keep up with that shit. not to the extent that you can tell me your birthday, and your sign, along with your numerology pops up quickly in my mind, and all of sudden im telling you that your "emotional" or a "power sign" or whatever it is that the STARS diagnose us as. oh, and..for all the RELIGIOUS, GOD fearing folks-isnt astrology/psychics right along the lines of fortune telling and magic ? things that i thought the church frowned on. but it sure doesnt stop you from checking next weeks horoscope in the back of US weekly magazine!! lol.

i am guilty of checking my horoscope to be entertained, and also knowing some traits that go along with people born late february and early march. which normally you would think is just a coincidence, but cosmic energy suggest because we were born during a certain time of the year, we think, act and feel the same? pause. its ENTERTAINMENT. i just ask that you dont judge me by my BIRTH DATE. im truly an individual and will do many things that will contradict my sign, which is PISCES, and there will be things that i will do that will be exactly what pisces are said to do. i refuse to beLIEve that there was some divine energy that pushed my mother into labor during the pisces era, just because GOD knew i would be emotional. and who appoints these mystical writers-who seem to suggest such GENERAL information like.."your job is stressing you out." or "your going to have to make a tough choice this week.." or even "if your single, you will be looking for l-ve, if your a couple, you will be experiencing new things!" LOL sounds like a normal tuesday for me, unspecified by what my astrological sign is..somehow, it seems like these quick 140 character fortune tellers are giving out general info that could be more right then wrong, since they are very vague and non specific.

in the end, i guess we need the "stars". people need a reason for irrational behavior or typical traits amongst people with similar birthdays. people always want to make sense of things, label them and keep them in some kind of chronological order so they can understand and believe and then reference back to. to me, its just easier to believe that people are just individually nutty. on that note, here are some things they say about pisces, or me..or people like me or people born in my pisces bracket. lol..whatever.

Traditional Pisces Traits

Imaginative and sensitive Compassionate and kind Selfless and unworldly Intuitive and sympathetic
On the dark side....
Escapist and idealistic Secretive and vague Weak-willed and easily led

sigh. if life were only this simple. unfortunately, like so many other people, i cant be described in my entirety in a couple of TEN dollar words..although a few of those ARE true. im still not "wowed".
