Horoscopes - Danie T

Feeling a bit overwhelmed and confused right now? Wanting to spill all the tea or confess a secret? Are people from the past suddenly coming out of the woodwork? Well, it could be because we’re just exiting a Mercury Retrograde in Leo… or we’ve just had a run a bad luck in a world that’s gone mad.

Yes hello, I’m an astrology girlie, and you can blame it all on my Moon in Sagittarius.

Way back in 1981, Ireland sent the trio Sheeba, whose song “Horoscopes” warned those who followed the fortunes foretold by a short paragraph in the local paper. And to be honest as someone who uses this method to understand personality types, you should never put your faith - or fate - in the hands of someone who puts you into one category of twelve. People are complex, and so is astrology.

So, Virgos, if someone writes in the paper that you’re going to be hit by a bus today, take that with a grain of salt. Late August and early September have the highest birthrates in most countries, and it would take a lot of buses to hit you all at the same time.

For me, this is a bit of fun, wrapped up in silver sparkly costumes and cheesy choreography. I’ll even forgive them for blanking on Geminis and Sagittarians in the lyrics.

This song, and astrology, is my guilty pleasure… or it could just be my Venus in Gemini seeking mental stimulation.
