Behind Horoscopes

You're favorite Sadge here:) I must admit, the length between my blogs has been varied, but my reasons have been valid. Aside from one's need to live in order to write, I haven't been feeling myself lately. Perhaps it is this new Aries phase we are in. Aries represent new beginnings, and I am most certainly at a new chapter of 2011. I am officially a full time musician/astrology blogger. It feels insufficient in comparison to my usual life style- I am used to working and attending school full time. But a wonderful Aries, RS. did remind me to feel lucky and happy; I AM doing what I love, what should anything else matter? Still, the funk I felt stayed with me for two days. (Any other Sadges feel me?) I, of course, looked to the stars for an explanation, or at least a prediction of when I would be back to my usual optimistic, active self. So here are the horoscope's for how it went down Monday, April 4, 2011: General Horoscope You may have something new in the works as the Moon inspires, but take today to finish unfinished business. Tonight, play the role of listener, observer, and joyful receiver as Neptune tests the Pisces waters. Don't be surprised if you feel psychically attuned with one or more people you meet. Something new? I was a guest on a new podcast video, which I will post as it becomes available, featuring local musicians and artists, discussing their experiences and future shows. Taking care of unfinished business? Well I got rid of some pesky bills that I knew I was over due for (in typical Sadge fashion). Sagittarius Horoscope: You have an extra amount of physical vitality to work with now, Sagittarius, so take advantage of it to give your body a good workout. Eat well and avoid fatty, salty foods. Fuel yourself with carbohydrates, protein, and fresh fruits and vegetables. With high energy, you can get a tremendous amount accomplished. Be aware that your emotional side may be extra sensitive, so be careful of conflict. I have been itching to run and exercise all the time! I recently did the trails for an hour at the arboretum with my inspiration Pisces girl, AB. and have plans to hit the gym with another close Sadge girl KM., but tonight I came home to a surprise/early Easter present- a membership to my old gym! AH! Yah:) That takes care of all that. I expect this will give me the natural energy I have been yearning for. As for my extra sensitive emotional side, NO DIGGITY! I have been an emotional mess the last two days, as if I am entering an extetential crisis situation! (Stars, help!) Sagittarius Love Horoscope: The present planetary alignment indicates that if you have been looking for someone special, you may meet this person at some kind of artistic gathering, or perhaps at an exhibition. The pair of you may find that you are immediately attracted to each other for a variety of reasons, and more particularly because you feel relaxed in each other's company. You find communicating with each other easy and enjoyable. Artistic gathering? HELLO LOCAL ARTISTS PODCAST! I was just at the perfect description of this event. We shall see about all that... Horoscopes are a funny thing. I think people's major problem with horoscopes are that they cannot always see how it fits their life. On the other hand, some think that the whole concept is just a self fulfilling prophecy- anyone can find meaning in anything. I must admit, I don't rely on horoscopes to be the absolute end all, be all. I did find some sites that I do like, but many are just stripping down astrological profiling (something I am interested in). The difference? I think horoscopes take the qualities seen in each sign (astrological profiles) and make them sound specific, while still vague at the same time, to fit within the average day of this sign. For instance, it would make sense for a typical Sagittarius horoscope to say, "You may find yourself in social situation, where you make a new friend." C'mon. I'm a Sagittarius. I am always out, in social situations, and more often than not, I make a new friend...even if it just during astrological conversation. I suppose horoscope writers would also have to take into account where the moon and planets are in given day, and its influence on each sign (this is how I would approach the subject). But I am interested in finding out more about it. The reason why I am giving this all so much thought is because I was approached with the idea of possibly writing horoscopes in a new local paper. AH! It must be difficult though, extremely so, to figure out what is in store for each sign in the future, let alone day by day! (So maybe instead of criticizing these horoscopes we should start giving these writers more credit?) My goal is to study up and give you all (every sign) my own personal horoscope (predictions) for next week. Please check them out at your leisure and let me know if at any point they do come true! It will be fun to see just how far my powers as "The Day of the Prophecy" (12/19) go! Another thing, if anyone has at any point a facet of astrology they would like discussed, addressed, or analyzed in this form please contact me on Facebook or via e-mail: laura.kispert@gmail.com You're continued support and contribution is always appreciated:)
