written in the stars?

i love reading horoscopes. be it the serious ones or the undeniably out-of-this-world types that the Loyola Lampoon dishes out, reading horoscopes is one of my many guilty pleasures.

i got a ton of magazines over the week from onry, a friend of mine who works for a media company but he's a guy so he doesn't appreciate cosmo, mega, preview, etc. when his mom finishes the stack, he sends them over to his girlfriend, gaile, who reads them (and so do the other women in her family) then she sends them over to me! so i stumbled on an astro special and the piece on aquarians was so right on the money for me i just have to put it here. it goes:

aquarians surf through life at a cool, calm, and collected pace. these levelheaded water bearers

operate on the mind-over-heart philosophy--always rationalizing first, and then acting on their

feelings next. despite their levelheadedness, aquarians are also unpredictable and a little schizophrenic--they can switch from unadulterated laughter one minute to serious sobriety the next. aquarians genuinely want to make the world a better place, and do all they can to preserve their utopian, ivory tower ideals.

the pros:

innovative, friendly, tolerant, independent

the cons:

uninvolved, emotionally detached, impractical, rebellious

sooo true. my mom says i'm apathetic, or in her own words, "wala lang..." hehehe...i bet mai, my high school best bud will agree 100% about me being a little schizo. sometimes i even surprise myself. oh, and yeah. i remember there was this one time my boyfriend and i were driving and we stopped at a red light. the whole intersection was at a standstill, cars were not moving at all because the lane that was supposed to be green and go had absolutely no vehicle cruising it! and i suddenly broke into this wild, hysterical laughter i was already in tears! my boyfriend, i can just imagine, must have thought about driving me straight to the mental institution instead (which, mind you, is a stone's throw from my house.)

this whole assessment of aquarians may not hold true for others but this is probably the most accurate reading i've gotten. i am, indeed, a cool cat, but a weird one, at that!

and another interesting part of it is that it says a love match for aquarians is a libra...my boyfriend's a libran...hehehe

so i learned that we're both air signs, and this is what air signs are all about:

air signs always have their heads up in the clouds. every gust of wind ushers in a million thoughts--this is whay makes the air signs the great brainiacs of the zodiac. these gifted conversationalists will offer you priceless discussions and debates, and can easily persuade you to do practically anything with their excellent convincing power.

and since we're air-air, here's the reading:

the good:

air people instantly understand each other even if no words are spoken between them

the bad:

when opinions contradict, it can be cause for a major windstorm, which happens a lot because air people do love a good argument

this is true for us, but not totally because we don't get into fights per se. we love a good conversation, maybe that's how i'd put it.

well, written in the stars or not, there is just one word i will never, never use to describe myself: SIMPLE. that is just so not me. and people who know me know that that is true. hehe.

and as for my lovelife, hmmm, i'm an air sign, he's an air sign...i guess love is just in the air!
