I grew up in a strict religious household and was taught that astrology was not only false, it was demonic. But about 3 months ago, I started looking up the love/relationship compatability stuff online just for fun and found a woman on Youtube whom I was really impressed with. Everything she said for both of our signs (I'm Aries, he's Scorpio) and how we interacted was absolutely spot on! It made me excited because it was all pretty much what I wanted to hear. I started thinking maybe there is something to this, while still knowing that we as humans like to read into things like this and make them fit, so everything is nice and neat and organized.
Then, our relationship went tits up (as he would say), which is the opposite of what the psychic lady said had the strongest likelihood of happening. To this day, 2 months later, I am still feeling the repercussions of our fallout. It's been a crazy year for me so far - more ups and downs than I've ever had before in such a short amount of time. Rollercoaster feels like an understatement.
I am happy to report that, though we're not back to where we were before, we are pretty darn close. The sad part is that I'm not sure, with his PTSD, if we will ever be back to 100% (of what we had, doubt there is ANY relationship that is actually 100%) because he's still being extra cautious with me and keeping me a little farther away in an attempt to protect himself.
So, do I believe in astrology and horoscopes? I really don't know. I think, like some others here, they can sometimes be fairly accurate descriptors of our personalities and how and why we can or can't get along with others, but I don't believe in fate or think the stars can tell us that "you're going to meet someone critical to your life this week" or "you're going to take the first step towards a new beginning..."
These days, like before my brush with the Youtube psychic, the only horoscopes I read are published by The Onion.:)
