I already violated my horoscope today - Pisces by Sally BROMPTON
When the subject of astrology has come up over the years I have often said that I don't believe in it but almost unfailingly look at mine daily and tend to find out what the sign is of people who cross my path. Disclaimer: Am a late bloomer so despite my Boomer age my hey day was in the early '70s, not really the '60s when I was still in my shell. And "What's your sign?" was a thing then - along with Scientology, Jesus Freakism, and Buddhist monks on the streets and at airports. Was merely a "fringe" Hippie, the beard being only part of the times. For the record I didn't join any of those or anything else, which show why my opinions (not to say "convictions" ) might seem shallow and superficial, or more charitably those of a "generalist".
So when one time I said I don't really believe in horoscopes, this evangelical Libra - and we know how brilliant and *piercing* Libras are - said, "You *ARE* what you practice!"
So one of the most popular astrologers years ago was one who assigned stars from 1 to 5 to the daily signs, and it seemed that she was almost always giving Pisces 3 at most and lower. I wrote to her with this impression, that she seemed to have something against Pisceans. She answered angrily denying.
So, in the context of the NY Post being a MURDOCH bete noire, the reasons I ended up skimming it were that the Page Six gossips of yore were featured on t.v. - Lib Liz SMITH, scathing Richard JOHNSON, and wingnut Cindy ADAMS - and Regis PHILBIN often read Sally BROMPTON's horoscopes on the air, and I followed them over to the rag. Sidebar: "Gossip" does NOT mean "untrue," mainly secretive, scandalous; and true gossip reporters often have stories, including politics, long before the regular media. Liz SMITH is the one SINATRA threw $2 at and called a w***e (rhymes with "door" ) .
So today Ms BROMPTON came right out and told me to STFU!1 And I had read it before posting a contrarian opinion, goes to show I don't really believe in it, or maybe just take a risk.

You may be tempted to ridicule someone’s opinions today but you need to be aware that if you make them look silly they will hold a grudge against you for years. Is it worth the potential payback? No it is not, so keep your mouth shut.
