Do you ever read your horrorscope?

[Charmonium]

I used to when I would pick up a daily paper. Sometimes I go online and check. I don't really believe in astrology but my first gf was one and mom always followed hers, so I guess I was corrupted early in life.

I did when I was younger, purely for amusement/entertainment, kinda like a fortune cookie. I can't remember the last time I read one though, tbf.

horrorscope

 

[dullard]

Is the thread title some Halloween pun?

 

[Charmonium]

I know it's horoscope. Just having a little fun. Very, very little.

I used to when it was sitting right in front of me near the comic section of the paper. It was just something to read, like the side of a cereal box. It's been decades since I've read a daily newspaper.

Horrorscope is an awesome album.
I read the booklet that came with the CD in the 90s. I still have it somewhere

I love that era of Overkill, though to me, the album before it "The Years of Decay" is my favorite of theirs.

@BurnItDwn - sorta makes me regret I never got into "hard" metal. There's a lot of "symphonic" metal I like though. I suck with names so only Evanescence is coming to mind.

That's pretty much how it was for me.

Nightwish, Epica, Leaves' Eyes, Dimmu Borgir

 

[Charmonium]

Ooo, Leaves' Eyes. Was trying to think of them. One of the few bands I've actually paid money for.

For you head bangers -

(Horrorscope, full album)

Good thing you specified 90s. Eve 6 released an album of the same name in 2000.

I'm sorta tempted to pay for a daily computer generated, human interpreted horoscope just so I can mark it up with 'wrong, wrong, eh good guess, wrong, etc.'

edit - there's probably a lot of hungry astrologers out there. Get it? Hungry + astrologer.

Sooooo how much you looking to pay for this service?

 

[Pohemi]

I had an ex who was into astrology, tarot, palm reading, etc. when I was in my late teens.

I called her 'astro-logger' when I wanted to irritate her. It was effective, lol.

 

[pcgeek11]

Nope. I always felt it was just stupid thinking that the stars influenced our lives.

 

[pete6032]

I will if I have a newspaper open and happen to pass by it. So maybe a few times per year.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Super rarely, if I happen to run across it, sure, but I don't really go looking for it.

 

[Oyeve]

Occasionally. If I do I read it at the end of the day or week to check accuracy. Never accurate.

 

[Muse]

I don't get a printed newspaper anymore so I don't run into a horoscope. When I did I was ALWAYS BORED If I bothered to read it. I'm not dumb enough to hunt for one online.

Exploring different belief systems and practices can be enriching, regardless of whether we fully subscribe to them. And who knows, maybe there's more to discover beyond the surface of astrology. If you're ever curious to explore more mystical realms or delve into the hidden meanings behind numerical patterns, you might find angel numbers intriguing.
They offer a unique perspective on guidance and insight: https://angelnumbersinfo.com/. Keep embracing your curiosity and open-mindedness, Charmonium! There's a whole world of wonders out there waiting to be explored.

Nope. I always felt it was just stupid thinking that the stars influenced our lives.

What if it's the other way around? Our daily interactions are entangled with the fate of stars? Flip off a stranger in traffic and somewhere a star goes nova? What if?

[Charmonium]

I do love the concept of astrology for a variety of reasons. But not a believer. It's more entertainment.

I did believe when I was a teenager. And I know both my sun sign (gemini) and rising sign.

According to most of the generic natal scopes, I'm pretty much your arctypal Gemini ♊️
