I Just Don't Get It
Astrology is weird. I want to say that it's completely bunk. It really shouldn't work. But . . . there's something about it that just doesn't let go. For example, today I was looking at basic compatibility. I'm a Saggitarius. I am supposed to be most compatible with Libra, Aquarius, Leo, and Aries. Funny four signs, that, given the fact that the four people I've ever called "girlfriend" in my life were each one of those signs.
Bizarro! Bizarro!
But I've only known one person who could come up with a reasonably logical argument for why astrology works. Though it was still full of holes. But most people seem to either accept it blindly, or reject it blindly, or not care. It's a hard life, being a skeptic.
