Horoscope Interpretation (08/05/2007)
This is a little bit of a segment I’m working on where I take my horoscope (I’m a Taurus) and I say what I think it means to me in relation to what’s going on in my life. So here we go with this little test. If it goes over well I’ll do it more and more.
You’re feeling good — and eager to push yourself a little bit harder — but be careful. Your ambition could start outpacing your capabilities, and if you push yourself too hard, you may get a nasty surprise. Hold back on big gestures or risky moves today, especially when it comes to your finances. Watch your spending, and challenge yourself to tighten your budget. Time spent reducing your material desires will prove to be very profitable in the end. – From Yahoo! Astrology
Okay, right off the bat it starts out by saying that I’m feeling good, which is true for the most part. But the next part is where this horoscope loses me completely. “Eager to push yourself a little bit harder”? Umm, I don’t know if you noticed this or not horoscope, but it’s Sunday. I pride myself on my ability to do absolutely nothing productive on Sundays. In my opinion the whole “Sunday is the day of rest” thing is one of the few things that organized religion does correctly.
That’s when the horoscope takes a turn towards the frightening… Apparently, staring at my computer screen blankly while clicking the refresh button on my email 50 times per hour is also known as “pushing me to to the brink of my capabilities”. Which really makes me feel good about myself. Then it threatens my finances? How dare they! If I want to put all the money I have into an online Japanese antique doll shop which promises to pay me back “$5,000 a week” on my investment (quoted from their email, which somehow made it to my spam folder, Gmail really needs to fix that, their spam filter is obviously broken) then that’s my business, horoscope! Since when do horoscopes want to deny me of an early retirement?
My horoscope must also be the average accountant by saying that I should try to tighten my budget. Gee, thanks, all-wise horoscope, I am now at the peak of enlightenment. Also I found this “Time spent reducing your material desires will prove to be very profitable in the end” hilarious as hell. You mean to tell me, that if I don’t buy as many things that I don’t need, then I’ll actually save money? Wow, horoscope, you just blew my mind. I think I’m going to have to sit here and soak in the plethora of knowledge you have bestowed upon me on this fine Sunday afternoon.
Till tomorrow horoscope…Till tomorrow…
