This is a completely pointless post…
I don’t believe in horoscopes as such, but like most people I like to read them sometimes just for fun. Of course I am aware of the fact that most days it says something that doesn’t relate ot me at all, and given the usual vagueness of the statements the probability of it ringing true at least sometimes is about 100%.
Why do I mention this here right now?
Well, today I did something I usually never do. I felt quite brave, but at the same time also quite foolish to do it, and afterwards I was sitting here thinking it might have been a mistake to even try.

Your resistance to confronting your feelings will only complicate things now, for others can see through your protests of avoidance or denial. Instead of fearfully hiding your emotions, try bringing them gently to the surface. Showing your vulnerability in a safe situation could actually bring intimacy to a new level.Number for Today: 1
Your personal power is strong today. You may find yourself starting a new endeavor, or engaging in a new pursuit that is based in self-expression or spirituality. You’re connected with the world today.
I know it could mean anything, or more probably, nothing. I just choose to believe that it means I did the right thing today. But of course whatever I interpret into it won’t make a jot of difference, if it really turns out to have been a mistake.
So the lesson for today is: obsessively obsessing about things I can’t change anymore is not a good way to spend an afternoon. Who would’ve thought?
I used to write horoscopes for a living once, many years ago. Of course, I made them up, like they all do, but I got fed up with the meaningless, vague stuff that horoscopes consist of so I made very specific prediction, like “This is the perfect time to sell your home and move to another country.” Or “our children are plotting against you.”
