1980s Your Horoscope
This may've been written in the 1970s. The original is on lined notebook paper, handwritten all lower case. That implies very early to me because for a very long time now when I've been handwriting. it's been mostly printing in all caps. I've always had mixed feelings about astrology. I'm a member of the Krononautic Organism, a time travel society founded by Richard Ellsberry. Linda Goodman promoted the Krononauts in her 1978 book entitled "Love Signs". She was profuse in her enthusiasm on pages 549-551. I was amused to get the impression that Goodman hates Virgos, my sign. On page 573 she writes: "Virgos treat their problems like they treat their house plants-with constant, dutiful attention, never forgetting to water them, the latter with distilled H2O, the former with distilled tears. Naturally, given such tender, loving care, both will sprout quickly, grow profusely, and need frequent pruning." I always figured that Goodman nursed a grudge against Virgos because we might be the most sceptical about astrology. Be that as it may, I was reading some horoscopes for all the signs & thinking that many or most or all of them might apply to me depending on my mood, etc.. SO, for "Your Horoscope", I decided to just join them all together into one all-signs horoscope. How many of you reading this can relate to more than just 1/12th of it? This was published in "Reality Sandwich" 13, a small anarchist zine from BalTimOre, in 1990 or 1991. Sceptical or no, I actually usually find astrological descriptions of Virgos to be fairly accurate descriptions of many aspects of myself. I even threw a "Virgos Only" Party once to see whether so many anal retentives could stand to be around each other. We got along just fine. Who needs the rest of you? (JUST KIDDING!)
