He/she probably means "People Who Buy into Astrology are All a Bunch of Cunts: A demographic survey of people professing to believe in astrology," by Dr. I. I. Obvious and Herr Fried Loins, from the Helmholtz School of Social Science in Munich.

astrology is amazing. my horoscope yesterday said i might meet the love of my life this week.. which is nice. it also said my nonconformist ideas will get me into some bother at work and that i should be calm and accept that some people just want to follow the beaten track.

have lost track of other threads since going to the pub. oh well.

Congratz. Do you actually write horoscopes? Cos that's literally the best job ever. I want it.

My horoscope for this week
I am on cusp of Leo/Virgo, luckily this horoscope places me on Leo side, unlike some others.

Quick-witted and fast-talking Mercury helps you enlist support for a new project early in the week. You are well aware of its potential, so do not sell yourself short. With so much action in your chart’s financial zone, the time has come to be decisive. Do not let uncertainty about a close relationship or a new friendship throw you off your stride midweek.

Let's break it down to see how it has panned out as of today, midweek:

Well, I AM quick witted and fast-talking, and I did get Revol to help fix my laptop on Monday

I can't actually figure out what this bit even means, it's filler, bad horoscope

You mean my house in negative equity that I want rid of. The time to be decisive was a long time ago, no thanks horoscope.

Do not let uncertainty about a close relationship or a new friendship throw you off your stride midweek.
While I may have made a new friend, I most certainly have never had anything close to a 'stride' off of which i may be thrown. Fail again

HOROSCOPE FAILED.

You might need to rethink through any romantic plans you may have for the evening. A challenging lunar aspect suggests that there may be something that you have either overlooked or miscalculated completely. Maybe you’re rushing things a little too much! Slow down!

Fuck you, challenging lunar aspect.

The planetary disharmony, which may create a little imbalance, can be easily resolved for you today. Simple meditation, structured breathing exercises, or even some very basic yogic exercises will help boost that slump in your mood and make you feel grounded again!

all it's done is told me to meditate if i'm feeling a bit shit. that's not a fucking horoscope.

Mine suggests I should put on a do for the family because they're like, really important. Also, if I'm looking for a home, I should "look for tall, beautiful buildings" as I might find a nice one to buy which will make a "really great" investment.

1. My family live on the other side of the country and mostly couldn't make it if I put on a do this week
2. I don't want to buy a house

oh oh here's horoscope.com for me

As a normally out-going fire-sign you’ll find that today you’re in the mood to spend some time by yourself, preferably at home! The challenging lunar aspect suggests that company will be the last thing you want this evening, so curl up with a good book or in front of the TV to give yourself the space you need!

My day is the opposite of this. 9am went to work. 1 back in office. Later I'm going to gym, then back to office til about midnight to write. So basically I won't relax at all, or spend time at home. Something tells me these horoscopes are a bit of a sham!

You are likely to experience one of those mixed days, but unfortunately the thorny half is the latter half. The planets suggest that you’ll need to put certain plans for a fun evening on hold, but one rather beneficial planetary aspect indicates a stroke of good luck may brighten up your morning!

I just had a pretty shit morning, so this does not bode well.

If i wrote horoscopes, i'd do this with all of them in order to give the illusion of deeper insight.
