According to my horoscope in a magazine I read, yesterday, Friday the 13th, was supposed to be my most romantic day of the month. But I couldn’t see how that could be possible- I was nearly out of credit on my phone, I hadn’t washed my hair in two days so it was a bit greasy and I had a pimple growing on the side of my nose. And my bus was running late, which meant I hadn’t got the slightest chance of seeing W, the guy I like. And just as I’d thought, the day passed completely normally, I didn’t see W and I went to bed only having texted him once, using the last of my credit.
He’d said “hey, what you up to? lol xoxoxo” and I’d written back something along the lines of ‘lol nm just on the bus. What about you? Sorry if I don’t wb, im nearly out of credit” and he hadn’t written back, which was completely understandable.
So I went to bed thinking pff… horoscopes. As if. But when I woke up this morning, there were two messages from W, one saying “have a good night xoxoxo” and the second saying “I miss you already…” which is one of the sweetest things he’s ever said to me. So now I’m not sure what to think about horoscopes….
So I looked more closely at it. In the love section, its telling me that I should try new things… my friends section says im going to be sociable, but also maybe aggressive. And my family and school section says I should think about what I want to be when I’m older, and think carefully about my subject choices. Then im supposedly going to be passionate on the 17th and I should do things that need doing on the 21st.
Well my ‘love’ life’s been pretty good without me consciously trying new things… I mean sure, I’ve been texting him a lot more but that hardly counts. Then with my friends, at school I’ve been more sociable than usual, sure. But the only time I’ve been aggressive is toward my friend who met a guy she liked and promptly lost his number. She then realised he caught my bus and ever since has been nagging me to go and get his number for her. Even at 11.00 at night, when I’ve been asleep for an hour and a half. And even when she knows I don’t talk to him. Ever. Full stop. But we’re still FRIENDS. And my friend, who I spoke about in my first blog, is the only friend that’s been aggressive toward me. And I spoke to her today (we had a clinic thing) and she was perfectly fine. So the horoscope was a little off there too. I’m going to start thinking more about what I want to be when I grow up, only because I have no idea. And seeing as the other two dates are yet to come- well I’ll keep you posted.
But, to get to the endless point… I was wondering about horoscopes. Do they really see into your future, and tell you about whats to come? Or, do you read them and then, expecting them to come true, make them happen subconsciously? Like, if I thought that yesterday was supposed to be my most romantic day of the month, would I be expecting it to be romantic, and thus act in a way which made it more romantic? And as for the ones that just tell me to be more tolerant of my friends… that’s just life advice. That’s not telling me anything new.
I still don’t know what to think, but I know that I’ll keep reading my horoscope in the vain hope that one day it might tell me something vaguely accurate.
