Virgo Fox Trot

You often see advertisements and offers for horoscope readings online. Sometimes, just for kicks, I punch in my birthday and "see what the stars are saying." Don't get me wrong, I do take some astrology seriously, just not the type that you can get out of the newspaper or off of a website run by Miss Cleo. I did read one today and decided to dissect it because I actually liked it. It's vague enough to relate to many people but also slightly motivational. This is not going to be the full "reading" just highlighted areas I found interesting.

Virgo Monthly Horoscope:

This month we will all feel the effects of Saturn, the Planet of Discipline.

Awesome, I need a little discipline in my life.

As Virgo rules self-improvement and healing, Saturn’s transits this month underscore the importance of abandoning negative behaviors related to self-care. This may encompass coming face-to-face with the demons of addiction. Addiction to a substance, such as cigarettes or alcohol, a compulsion to waste time in mindless channel surfing for hours at a time.

I have already quite smoking so I've started early but that last bit still rings true. I'll find myself laying on the couch flipping through channels of nothing and the next thing I know, three hours have gone by. This is definitely something that I'm going to look into but it will be much easier to beat now that summer is almost here and the weather is becoming beautiful.

During the first week of this month, engage in some honest self-reflection. 

Guess I'm starting that right now.

In the second week, begin to make efforts to change negatives to positives.

I can be a very negative and stressed person so this doesn't seemed too far fetched.

Doors that were once locked will swing open for you.

Who can be upset by that? I've felt so restricted with current and future endeavors and this is extremely good news. I'm just curious as to what these doors will lead to. 

Around the 6th of this month and lasting for six months, expect your family to grow in size. An unexpected pregnancy—not necessarily yours—may occur. Or, maybe the pregnancy is planned but surprise, surprise! Twins or triplets are on the way. Regardless of the exact circumstances, new life is destined to infuse your family with a renewed sense of togetherness. 

This better not be about me! I have a cousin who is pregnant right now so maybe this is talking about her. I really hope it's not me, kids are awesome but I would like to wait a few years thank you very much.

Like I said at the beginning, this is not all of it. It went into more detail at some points but I don't want to bore you. All in all this was a decent reading. 

It may just be a prediction, but I think that sometimes these just help you open your eyes to possibilities, almost like a self help book. It suggests that I kick a habit so thats what I'll try, no harm done just a possibility opened. Too many people take these at face value. Personally I don't take them too seriously just listen to their suggestions and take them under consideration. Not ever person born under the same sign is expected to do the same exact thing, that would be weird.
