Astrology is Bollocks

Hey, I am all about fun and games. And, yeah, reading a fortune cookie, laughing about the horoscopes, or fantasizing about the stars is all fun and games. I am all for a good chuckle. I will even acknowledge that there is even something romantic and whimsical about astrology. Overall it is harmless and fun.

But, there are a large number of people I have met who take this stuff very seriously. They make actual real life decisions based on star charts, moon phases, and what the local "astrologer" wrote up in the paper. They will look you in the eye and swear to this stuff being absolute truth.

Here is what wikipedia has to say about me The Virgo:

Virgo (The Virgin) (mutable, earth, social): Keyword: "I analyze". The Virgo person is practical, industrious, efficient, thorough, methodical, exacting, precise, detail-oriented, observant, intelligent, critical, work and service oriented, painstaking, pragmatic, modest, discreet, health and cleanliness conscious, mentally active, and flexible. They can also be fussy, nervous, pedantic, petty, and over-critical. Virgos often have a long beautiful neck and can be careless with fingernails. Suitable occupations are where analytical and practical, methodical qualities are needed; such as teacher, psychologist, nursing and health and hygiene sectors, scientist, accountant, secretary, inspector. In medical astrology Virgo governs the intestines and digestion. There is some debate in regards to a modern ruler of this sign with Pallas, Chiron, Ceres and Vesta often considered candidates by some modern astrologers, but the planet Mercury is typically used as the default by tradition. The sun sign dates for Virgo are August 23September 22.[11] The earth form of Virgo is a full grown harvest. Totem animal is the Bushbaby


I AM NONE OF THE FOLLOWING (ESPECIALLY THINGS IN BOLD): , industrious, thorough, methodical, exacting, precise, detail-oriented, observant, intelligent, critical, work and service oriented, painstaking, pragmatic, modest, discreet, health and cleanliness conscious. They can also be fussy, nervous, pedantic, petty, and over-critical

I AM SOMEWHAT: practical, flexible, mentally active

MY VERY EXISTENCE DEFIES YOU STARS!!

PS - It is pretty cool to know my totem is a bushbaby. whatever the fuck that is?
