I'm not really into horoscopes
At least, I wasn't until my roommate exposed me to them. She's a pureblood hippie. Her grandparents were hippies, her parents were hippies, and now, she's a hippie. Not the vegan type, but the astrological type. Everything has a meaning. Everything is meant to happen the way it happens. And the stars can give some insight as to why things happen the way they do. So, Willamette Week has this FreeWill Astrology section and eerily, they're usually dead on accurate. Which is the only reason I check it every week. Those once-a-day horoscopes are usually just the result of some bored guy meeting a deadline with no research or no actual knowledge of astrology whatsoever. But, Willamette Week's once a week horoscopes are seriously scary when it comes to how accurate they are.
So what if everyone's destiny is literally set in the stars? Does that mean that there is no real suprise anymore? That everything we do is already written? Does the entire universe (astronomically speaking; gravity, planet alignment) really have that much of a psychological effect on us? I don't take much to heart, and some newspaper horoscope is not one of them, but should I? Sure, every week has a very strange accuracy but that doesn't mean that they're always right, right?
Scary. Saturn rules my destiny.
