I've wondered a few times if astrologers will apply things from their personal lives to the horoscopes they create. By example, say the author of my horoscope is having an argument with the Leo in her life. Could there be a temptation to insert something in the Leo horoscope about how Leos are overly proud and too often think that they're right? Something like "listen to the other side of the argument for a change".

Isn't that so "Leo" to theorize that anything that implies we're wrong must have some ulterior motives, and we're really still right?

Additionally, is it just me, or is my horoscope much more interesting and dynamic than my life? According to my horoscope, life-changing events and realizations take place every day. Chances are that I'll sit here at work daydreaming about being Indiana Jones, then go home, have dinner, and mix a manhattan while struggling to stay awake longer than the children. Just like yesterday. According to my horoscope, you'd think I was skydiving yesterday and wrestling sharks today, all the while surrounded by the truest loves of my life, struggling to find the words and gestures to express my inner feelings.

The most exciting thing I do is try to talk like Antonio Banderas. "I am Antonio Banderas. I will make mad passionate love to you, and then I will jump out the window onto my noble steed and fight for the freedom of the oppressed." Isn't that hot? Golly.
