Follow your star... Or not

This article cheered me up on a sunday evening browsing online newspapers. I have always like astrology. I haven't decided whether I believe it or not but I like to read my star sign. I get a really good feeling when it rings true and don't lose anything when it makes no sense to me at all. When they issue instructions, it is always a positive, motivational message which never goes amiss. In my opinion its just a bit of information which you can choose to take on board or forget completely but there's not harm in reading it. The process of assessing yourself or your situation, or preparing yourself for the week ahead is a fruitful one in my opinion, whatever leads you in to it. I find it a kind of cheap indulgence reading about yourself and you can claim it to be 'utter rubbish' if its not what you wanted to hear. Either way you can't lose.

I have chosen to embrace fully the findings that famous writers are more likely to be Gemini, which just happens to be my star sign:

"A Borders survey of the 150 bestselling authors found they were evenly distributed across the zodiac signs, apart from Gemini, which was twice as likely to be the star sign of famous scribes and scribblers. The 27 great writers born under the twins include Chaucer, Salman Rushdie, Thomas Hardy, Leo Tolstoy, Margaret Drabble and Jodi Picoult". (timesoneline)
