Horoscope Compatibility

A friend, whom I’ll call Suzie, reads her horoscope each morning as she drinks her coffee. Lately, she has been giving me advice on how I should handle the day.

I am not a superstitious person. I do not believe in fortune tellers with a deck of cards, nor do I believe that my life can be ruled by the alignment of the planets. I do have to admit that every now and then, when she gives advice, she can come curiously close to the facts.

A couple of weeks ago, I picked up a book that had different astrology descriptions about my sign (I am a Gemini, born between May 22 and June 21.

Now I have to say, I do not believe everything that I read, but it is amusing to read these things to see how close or factual they actually are.

The book gives the names of some famous Geminis like John F. Kennedy, Frank Lloyd Wright, Cole Porter and John Dillinger. Oops, maybe I’ll skip to the next page.

From what I read, Gemini is symbolized by the twins which represent the duality of interest, occupation and performance. Born under the sign of Gemini, my moods are like quick silver and change with the wind. Wait, what was I going to do next?

The reading continues, “You think you like everyone and everyone should like you. Therefore, you have many acquaintances.” Excuse me while I answer the telephone, my friends keep calling tonight.

According to the literature, a Gemini thinks fast, talks fast and can give the impression of a person always on the go. Actually, you run on nervous energy which can manifest as irritability and restlessness. Sometimes, I get so aggravated with this cell phone for not keeping up with my web page.

Again, I don’t believe in everything these readings had to say. Some were close, others were way out there, and there were some parts that hit it right on the head. If you believe in this stuff, well then good for you. I think the Pisces astrology interpretations fit me the closest. Guess I’ll have to change my birth date.
