I've been looking into horoscopes lately and I'm finding that, at least for the past week, every horoscope I've received has been completely relevant to my life right now. I'm trying to keep them from controlling my life, but seeing as I'm purposely staying up until midnight just to see my horoscope updated on an application on my Droid Eris, I don't think I'm doing a very good job of that. Today, about to be yesterday seeing as midnight is simply a minute away, my horoscope mentioned a problem that I seem to be facing with someone right now and how I should keep my temper down and face the situation with a calm approach. I am butting heads with someone off and on at the moment, so I took it's advice.
Midnight.
I'm not going to say what this one said, mostly because it's true and more of a personal matter. But it's weirding me out. Is it simply a paragraph that my mind is trying to morph into something relevant to my own life, or is there something behind it? Surely not everybody born between July 23rd and August 22 are going through these same exact problems that I am...
Some people believe that our lives are out of our control, that everything is planned out, I refuse to believe that. I believe that we can mold our lives into anything we want them to be. However, we need to be willing to take the necessary risks to get to where we want to go.
Word of Advice
Don't be afraid to take risks, but think it through before you do.
I want to know what the readers think. If you've been brought to this page by my Facebook, or maybe even Twitter, please post a comment or reply there telling me your opinion on horoscopes, or maybe just fate in general.

Fate is a Fickle Thing

Some people take horoscopes seriously but they're really nonsense like mind-reading or mythology or American Idol. ;) They're OK for entertainment value (barely) but even that has its limits.
I'm not one to believe that our "fate" is predetermined either. Many organized religions say our lives are totally planned out. Poppycock! Love that word! LOL Will our lives be different, depending on our decisions? Of course! Even the seemingly smallest decision could have long-lasting implications. Should we listen to whatever mumbo-jumbo source some website wants us to think is the best idea ever? HELL no! The best we can do is seek advice from family & friends. Actually, more family than friends. Family usually has our best interests at heart where friends can be biased in their opinions.
I'll bookmark your blog & check back now & then. Liking the philosophical side.
