horoscopes and microscopes

So this is my horoscope today:

The most sensible thing you can do today is to listen to your heart instead of the facts. But this tactic can produce stress that comes from other people's criticism of your choices. Fortunately, your key planet, beautiful Venus, is aligned with the Sun, bestowing an extra dose of cosmic grace upon you now. Engaging in an unpleasant conversation along the way won't be that difficult if you stop worrying about the negative consequences and concentrate on the positive possibilities instead.

Ya know, I try to listen to my heart first; it's not difficult for me, my heart is so much louder than that tee tiny logical part of me. I do, however, let other peeps' criticism of me and my choices command me far too often- that's another one of those things I wish to work on. I mean, I'm a judgmental person myself (another one of my many flaws) and I hate to be judged...so why the hell do I do it? because i'm human, and we human beings are far from perfect. besides, the world would be boring as hell if we were all perfect. right? being judgmental is just not cool and i don't want that to be part of what defines me, so i'm attacking that (and so should we all dammit--- was that a judgmental thing to say?) alas, once more, i digress (now that, my friends, is part of my charm- being kinda scattered and digressing all the damn time). but this time i'm coming back...to my horoscope. so engaging in unpleasant conversation is a necessary evil. i hate unpleasantness. i hate confrontation. and i think drama is a four letter word. sigh. but stop worrying about the negative consequences (food for thought) and focus instead on the positive (more food for thought).

now part of me knows that horoscopes are all hogwash but ya know what? they make me stop. they make me think. they make me squinch my eyes and scrutinize my life under the microscope. i think that's a good thing, and if i have a little fun with my weirdness along the way, so be it.

cheers to horoscopes and microscopes...making the world a better place, one weird mind at a time.
