It amazes me that so many people search in anticipation to see what their horoscope says. What wonderful tidbit of information can be gleaned to let me know what my future holds? It's so fun, exciting, mysterious, and...ridiculous. Why is it that we are the ones that make the choices for our lives, the roads we will travel, but we'd rather let someone who doesn't know a thing ABOUT us decide what is best FOR us? When in all actuality that same person probably wants someone to tell him or her the same thing about themselves?
I know a lot of people "pretend" to say it's just for fun, but you can't tell me there's not a fraction of a part of them that hopes they will indeed meet the love of their life while dropping off laundry at the cleaners even though they never get their clothes professionally cleaned. There is something instilled in each one of us that simply wants to know we will be okay when it's all said and done. We want to find love and be happy. And we want someone to verify that one day it will indeed happen. But I just ask that the next time you look to see what "Virgo" says, consider the source. Either, one, it's someone who sits at a desk all day dreaming up great ideas for your life, or two, it's someone who genuinely can see something of the future...something that even Jesus says not to worry about. Which again, I say, consider the source.
Oh, and one more thing - if there WERE some truth to horoscopes, than we wuold be holding on, letting go, saying goodbye, saying hello, quitting a job, starting a career, becoming wealthy, finding true love AND having children all in the same month. Makes me more tired than I already am. I'd rather leave the unknown to the One who knows it all.
"For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11
