Hrm. Let me give you a debrief on my opinions of horoscopes: If you actually take these things seriously, I can't take you seriously.
No, really. I'm sorry, guys. I get it, you want some insight into the enigma that is you. But really? Horoscopes? Trust me, my best friend is all about horoscopes and whenever I meet people that pique my interest she immediately asks what sign they are. It drives me mad.
I am a Scorpio, and honestly, when I read about this sign we kinda do sound pretty kick-ass. I don't mind being associated with characteristics like: driven, passionate, loyal, observant, deep, sensitive, seductive, and powerful. I just really don't think that you can base someone's personality and life off of what month they were born in.
But the challenge. Right. According to one of those cheesy, 90s-style astrology websites, Scorpios are extremely ambitious, determined, and manipulative. Ooh, I guess I really am meant to be in Slytherin. Supposedly their sarcasm can come across as bitterness. Right on. Need space and privacy. Yep. And we're very deep...? Like, does that mean I'm supposed to be Hemingway, writing in my moleskine whilst drinking coffee in a secluded area and being a complete misanthrope? Nah, man, I'm more of a limerick fan.
In all seriousness, I am a skeptic. Really, I don't buy into the idea of a computer or whoever writes these things telling me that I'm going to be blessed with money on the sixteenth of November. You expect me to fall for that? If there is any substance to zodiacs, you'd know that I'm way too suspicious to drink the kool-aid.
Also, there might be a grain of truth in the bastardization that is horoscopes: Scorpios have hypnotic eyes with penetrating stares. Soul-piercing. I've been told on many accounts that people feel like I'm staring into their souls when I look at them. I guess I never noticed how I affect people. It's fantastic. And a great deal of my friends are water signs (Scorpio, Pisces, Cancer), which are supposed to be highly compatible with Scorpios. In fact, the best friend I mentioned previously is a Scorpio. Go figure.
I guess Scorpios are pretty cool after all.
