Astrology might not be a credible science, but I confess it's fun to read a horoscope now and then, kind of in the same way we turn to the funny pages of the newspaper. Years ago, I remember a double date, where we ended up in someone's apartment after dinner, and the host brought out one of those books that goes on at length about the personalities of the different signs.
We all identified our signs and then we would take turns reading aloud the two or three pages that described the foibles and assets of each of other. Occasionally, like a broken clock that tells the correct time twice a day, one of the descriptors might fit one of us almost exactly, while it might be way off on the next ten. There was a lot of laughter and sometimes affected groaning when something negative or offensive was read about us. I remember that night as very enjoyable. It was fun and a good icebreaker, because it was a first an only date scenario for all four of us. I can't even remember the names of our dates, but I remember the fun we had.
