Predicting the Obvious
Not to re-hash the Mrs. Cleo comments of the other day, but one thing kept popping back into my head: Who are the people calling her? How could they fall for such an obvious scam? Then this morning I realized that this scam has been going on for years. I don’t mean the Mrs. Cleo has been faking that Jamaican accent for that long, but the idea of vaguely predicting peoples future and expecting to get paid for it. I’m talking about your daily horoscope.
Taurus 4/20 - 5/20 Today's Date: Mar. 30
The Sun is in Aries and the Moon is going from Libra into Scorpio. You're good at figuring out what's needed, then providing it. You have a friend who's also good at that. Overlook your differences. Focus on the same goal. Even together it's tough to achieve, but you'll get further.
This is my horoscope from MSNBC for today. Lets look at it shall we. The Sun and Moon positions tell me nothing; this is just their way of sounding official. A lot like the computer guy at your work with all the textbooks behind him; those textbooks are fake, they don’t open, and they come in one large piece and are available at Ikea. Next thing they do is compliment me “you get shit done”, who isn’t going to agree with that. From there they guess I have a friend, this is probably the riskiest line in the whole thing. This is an on-line horoscope meaning a lot of the people who will look at this are the same people who spend 24-7 in chat rooms and message boards; the friendship thing is not guaranteed. The last bit here basically says “get help, it will go faster no matter what pinhead you have to get help from.”
This is an incredibly simple format to follow. Start with technical jargon, compliment the reader then make a vague generality of advice. With this I can make thousands of predictions every day and a lot of them will come true. Why? Because these are incredibly general and vague; and let’s not forget the fact that most people who take the time to read the horoscope want them to be true, so they will connect the dots in or on their head to make it work.
So here is my prediction for everyone not matter what your sign is:
Mar 30th
The Sun is passing through your Fourth House and the Moon is hanging out a car window. Your strong deductive abilities let you figure out most puzzles. Today you need to focus those abilities towards the source of the stress you have been feeling. Once you unlock the root of the problem, the stress will just fall away.
