Tell Me Your Sign So I Can Judge You

Are you ever becoming acquainted with someone and they ask you when your birthday is? You answer, perhaps secretly hoping that they want to get you a birthday gift because the date is actually coming up quite soon and you're not really sure if your own friends are going to remember even though you slipped it into casual conversation a few times already. But a part of you already knows what's going to follow your answer. "Oh, so you're a Scorpio? That's very interesting. You're mysterious and secretive, and you have a very intense dark side. I better be careful because you become jealous very easily." You're in the middle of telling the person that you work with animals at a pet hospital and you are taking care of your mother who is suffering from Alzheimer's, but none of that matters. That's just what you do. You have shared your likes and dislikes, but the person still isn't sure who you really are. They have to know your sign and then it will all make sense. You're really an evil bitch because the date you were born on determines more about you than all the things you have done during your actual life. Maybe the person is beginning to think that you two probably shouldn't be friends because they are an Aries and they have read in countless Astrology books written by "experts" that these two signs just aren't very compatible. They don't want you telling them what to do and bossing them around. You are confused, the person seems to have doubts about your friendship. You should have made up a birthday, one with a sign that was friendly, outgoing and loyal. But you know nothing about astrology so you don't even know which sign that would be.

Does anyone else think that this is insane? I mean, mankind has been trying to prove that astrology is a reliable way to predict people and future events for centuries yet it has never been found to actually work in any way. It's all a gimmick, like how the ancient Greek priests would open up animals and study their organs during wartime (which was basically all the time) to predict if the war would be won and if important people would die. People thought that worked, but it doesn't and neither does astrology. Yes, I can be jealous and sometimes I do think shitty things about people but who the fuck doesn't? It's called human nature, get a book on psychology and stop trying to use sun and moon signs to tell me who I am. I think we need to stop looking for outside sources to tell us what to do and start looking with in ourselves. Let the revolution begin!
