Not being a person who walks around a ladder rather than duck and go under, turn in my tracks and go back home when confronted by a black cat, or empty a bag of salt over my shoulder when I spill a thimble full, I hesitate to put much meaning into a daily Horoscope reading. But, all that said, I still can't keep myself from scrolling down my home page and see what that little square of insight has to offer me each day. I should also probably be ashamed to add, that I never fail to tear open the proffered fortune cookie and break it open to read the cunningly concealed prophecy hidden within. Lately, I have noticed that these nuggets of wisdom are always encouraging. Could there possibly be an ulterior motive for this? Fortune cookie sales would surely drop if they contained bad news, right? And how many Horoscope books or articles would be published should they preach doom and gloom?
Today, just one day before the 2008 Presidential Election, I noticed that my Horoscope states that I "..am trying to find a balance between the poles (or Polls?) of my life today.." It also empathizes with me in that "…it is not easy…"
How could this little explication know my heart so very well? I have always considered myself a bit of a private person-unless, of course, I am writing-then, I tend to bare my soul. But here is someone who has never heard of me, never seen me, never talked to me, and most assuredly has never read anything I have written. And yet, in this little, tiny square hidden far down and almost invisible on the left side of my Home Page, in my Horoscope someone is laying bare my most inner fears and doubts about the upcoming vote.
Reading on I find that I should "Expect to slide all the way in one direction…." Suddenly I realize that I have been holding my breath and gasping I begin to breathe. How prophetical is this????? Finally it is all beginning to make sense-hoping that I will be given a clue to solve the doubts of my own confusion, I click the ‘read more' button and I read on….
"…which may be fantastic or just bearable. It won't last long." And there it ends. Leaving me with a feeling of something I have missed, something that remained just out of reach but tantalizingly close to the fingertips. I am left feeling incomplete.
I had so hoped for a revelation, an admonishment, an eye opening disclosure that would present itself it all its glory in this last twenty-four hours before the switch is thrown. But it was not to be. I struggle to fathom the hidden meaning of my Horoscope as I re-read it for the umpteenth time. But there are no secret codes to ‘pick the fair-haired warrior from land of the golden-gate' or raise up the ebony-skinned savior who rides out of the East wearing the blue robe of Kings.
I put no faith in the ‘Victory in the Stars' who have had since April 1, 2008 the Leo (BO) defeating the Scorpio (HC) and continuing on to defeat the Virgo (JM). And I will go to the polls tomorrow knowing (because my Horoscope told me so) that I will find a balance between the two polls and expect to slide in one direction. And I definitely have no doubts that it will be ‘just bearable' and I thank my lucky stars that ‘it won't last long'! I'm anxious to see what tomorrow's Horoscope will reveal.
Oh, and by the way, I'm CANCER if anyone else out there is in the same dilemma.
HAPPY VOTING, EVERYONE!!!
