Horror Scopes
Sep. 22nd, 2003 11:12 amI am pretty skeptical about horoscopes. I am pretty skeptical about lots of things actually. I had this idea the other day that horoscopes probably said more about the publication they appeared in than the person predicted for. A little research seems to confirm this. As evidence three versions of my Leonine horoscope for today:
The London Daily Telegraph
The Los Angeles Times
The Toronto Sun
See what I mean?
The London Daily Telegraph
You could come up with a new solution to an old financial problem if you talk your situation through with someone you respect this week. With the Sun in sociable and easygoing Libra in the month ahead, you should also concentrate on getting out and meeting people. Friday's New Moon could well open doors unexpectedly, so be prepared to change your plans.
The Los Angeles Times
You feel undeniably harmonious, like someone turned your problems down a notch. Kick up your heels, and celebrate your good mood with friends and loved ones today. A Taurus is ready to party. Tonight, it's all how you spin the story.
The Toronto Sun
Your emotions will fluctuate, and you will change your mind quickly today. You will have to show compassion toward those who depend on you. Don't exaggerate.

Mind you, I'm a Cancer, and we're notoriously bad at respecting other people's beliefs...
