ASTROLOGY - WHAT A LOAD OF...ER..?


According to the stars in the (daylight) sky above the hospital at the exact time of my mother's final push all those years ago, astrology.com has decreed that my approach to life and real motivation were destined to turn out as posted below. Even more surprising than the fact that some people genuinely believe that spheres of gas located hundreds of light years away can influence the personality development of a mini-human, is the fact that astrology.com's description actually seems to describe me quite well. At least, it describes the way I think of myself. How did they do that? Do you think they hacked into my Facebook profile and cross-referenced with my Twitter stream? Maybe sent an undercover agent to interview my mother in the guise of being an old school friend? Or have I been subjected to so many years of brainwashing by society that I have unwittingly developed into the very person that the astrology nutters claimed I was always going to be?

Then again, with probably half a billion people on the earth sharing my star sign, I suppose they're bound to stumble across someone who fits the generic profile eventually. Now, while you read all about me below, I'm off to put my money on horses with the numbers 5, 6 and 13 while I await the arrival of a dark and enigmatic stranger into my life.

How You Approach Life and How You Appear To Others

    You are a gentle, sensitive person with a deep understanding of people and a very tolerant, accepting, nonjudgmental approach towards life. In a noisy, competitive atmosphere you are often receding and withdrawn for you are not an aggressive, forceful person, and you intensely dislike conflict. In fact you tend to be somewhat passive, to wait, watch, observe, feel and know much - but to act little. Letting things resolve or work themselves out in their own way, rather than directing or forcing your will upon them, is often your way of dealing with problems.

The Inner You: Your Real Motivation

    You are a gambler and an adventurer at heart, one who loves to take risks, to discover and explore new worlds, and to take the untried path rather than the safe, reliable one. You are an independent soul, freedom-loving, and often very restless. You need a lifestyle that provides opportunities for travel, movement, change, and meeting new people. A steady routine which offers much in the way of security but little in the way of space and freedom is odious to you.
