No, I don’t have to work today, the stars told me so
I absolutely love my horoscope from the Globe and Mail today.
PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20): You will feel much better about yourself today if you forget about your duties and chores for a while and spend time doing what makes you feel happiest in life. You know all those little jobs that need doing? They actually don’t need doing at all. Leave them.
I have always been an absolute horror at leaving the little things. Everything must get done, and now! Not true. Well, sometimes true. The trick lies in knowing when those times are, and separating others. You simply can’t live your life at fever pitch 24/7. Your head will explode. (Yeah, it’s real. I saw it on House.)
I’m certainly not the most superstitious person. I don’t believe that something terrible will happen if a black cat crosses my path, or that if I say ‘Macbeth’ that a theater marquee is going to crash down on my head. But I have come to find that horoscopes can offer a good way to force yourself to see the good around you. They are purposefully vaguely written. You can take whatever you will from them. And they usually allude to something positive, or recommend that you try to make a positive change. I’ve come to take them as a challenge, to read my horoscope and (if I like it), make it come true. We are all the masters of our own destinies, but sometimes its nice to have something to give you a little push along the way.
But ignore all those ’someone is going to stab you in the back’ today horoscopes. They just suck.
