I
confess
that
among
my
many
reading
interests,
I
just
can’t
do
without
the
horoscopes.
For
example,
I
never
put
any
newspaper
down
until
I
have
finished
reading
the
column
that
talks
about
what
is
“going
to
happen”
during
the
day
and
upcoming
week.
I
don’t
care
if
they
say
that
something
will
or
won’t
happen,
or
that
I
should
or
shouldn’t
believe
in
what
is
printed
there.
What
I
like
about
it
and
is
important
to
me,
is
that
this
type
of
reading
is
interesting
and
fun.
This
is
probably
because
I
find
horoscopes
to
be
an
interesting
combination
of
ideas,
in
which
I
can
see
the
author’s
optimistic
point
of
view,
savor
a
delicious
mysterious
feeling
of
the
unknown,
and
ponder
over
an
incredible
number
of
fantastic
probabilities.
And
I
know
that
I
am
not
alone
in
this
frame
of
thinking,
because,
if
all
that
didn’t
have
any
truth
in
it,
then
why
do
the
newspapers,
radio
and
television
waste
so
much
time
talking
about
it?
There
are
quite
likely
to
be
many
more
people
much
more
interested
in
it
than
you
and
I,
dear
reader.
How
about
it?
Is
it
possible?
I
confess,
again,
that
the
star
sign
I
know
most
about
is
my
own,
Virgo;
loyal
public,
voracious
readers
dedicated
to
literature,
journalism,
accounting
and
all
things
related
to
paper
and
everything
written
on
it.
Practical
and
pragmatic,
Virgo
men
and
women
are
well
organized
and
like
everything
perfectly
arranged,
to
the
smallest
detail,
somewhat
like
a
Swiss
watch.
They
are
extremely
predictable,
even
to
the
point
that
they
can
take
their
own
eternal
inner
criticism.
When
Virgos
marry
each
other,
they
make
more
than
a
marriage:
Suddenly
a
new
corporation
is
formed,
with
fascinating
characteristics
including
daydreams
and
fantasies,
as
long
as
they
obey
a
previously
laid-out
plan.
I
give
you
as
witnesses
my
good
brothers
and
colleagues
Miriam
and
Darcio,
birthday
neighbors.
Lets
see
what
the
horoscope
tells
us
about
ourselves.
Do
Libra
women,
in
general,
have
no
special
criteria
in
choosing
their
spouses?
All
they
want,
to
tell
the
truth,
is
to
get
together
with
someone
very
elegant,
intelligent
and
who
will
make
all
their
decisions
for
them
.
Someone
whom
she
can
dedicate
herself
to
and
satisfy
all
her
sophisticated
whims
and
desires.
She
is
full
of
“do’s
and
not
do’s”
and
always
up
to
her
ears
in
social
convention.
They
constantly
worry
about
other
people’s
opinions.
Now,
Scorpio
women,
on
the
other
hand,
bring
inside
them,
the
primal
scream
of
instinctive
liberty
and
the
no-holds
freedom
that
ensues.
Non-conformists,
they
don’t
know
how
to
restrain
their
affective
and
sensorial
exuberance,
because,
they
are
always
so
full
of
empathy
and
intuition.
Owners
of
a
great
work
capacity,
they
assume
the
job
with
strength
and
courage.
Another
sign
that
loves
and
needs
freedom
of
movement
is
the
Aquarian.
For
her,
coming
and
going,
as
they
please,
is
essential
to
their
perception
of
freedom,
much
like
their
participation
in
people’s
lives.
Cancerians,
it
should
be
said,
are
very
sensitive
and
gifted
with
great
emotional
capacity,
an
intrinsic
part
of
her
environment
and,
at
the
same
time,
mother
and
wife,
but
doesn’t
even
know
how
to
separate
these
two
very
different
functions.
Leonine
ladies,
as
mythology
states,
are
protected
by
the
gods
and
a
sister
to
fire,
and
for
this
very
reason,
easy
to
ignite.
Brilliant,
stubborn
and
domineering,
they
really
only
think
and
act
as
they
damn
well
please.
Gemini
women
express
their
fantasies
through
love,
contrary
to
Taurians,
who,
being
so
down
to
earth,
simply
discard
illusion
and
go
about
business
so
they
can
live
in
security.
For
all
of
these
reasons,
and
more,
is
it
possible
that
any
other
reading
material
exists
more
fascinating
than
that
of
the
humble,
always
surprising
everyday
horoscope?
Well,
at
least,
a
more
succulent
reading
is
surely
not
to
be
found.
Not
even
in
a
well
written
poem.
