azurite | The Thing About Zodiacs, Astrology, and the Like

Joe let me read his "Zodiac P.I," a new manga from Tokypop that I like. The artist is under an alias, but I swear I've seen it before, and being big on astrology, I like seeing what the artist has done. It looks pretty interesting, a blend of classic shoujo comedy and romance, mystery, and magic. =D Still, Tokyopop needs a good thwapping for making repeated mistakes throughout that one issue! The main character, Lili, had TWO different birthdays, and was referred to as 'Lili' while she was under an alias; a guy was called by HER alias, and at the end of the book, she was called Riri! *groan* AUGH! Tokyopop, will you EVER learn?

Anyway.
Pisces

You should be dating a Pisces.
19 February - 20 March
Your mate is loving and caring, trusting and
hospitable, and romantic. Though he/she can be
self-pitying, temperamental or dependent, the
fishes are quite romantic in bed.

What Zodiac Sign Are You Attracted To?
brought to you by Quizilla

This is ironic, of course, since Jonathan is a Pisces. But are we really going out? It's hard to tell. I'm pretty sick of being the only one that ever suggests anything, pays for anything, etc. -.-

The one thing I refuse to believe in that astrology says every now and then (and it irriattes me to see half-baked horoscopes in teen magazines, with lucky days, lucky colors, and people of a certain sign you should be attracted to on a certain day) is the concept of "If so and so is a BLANK, then you can't go out with them, because you're incompatible." I think the worst way of leaving someone would be to say "AUGH! No wonder you're so (insert negative personal quality here)! You're a (Insert Sun Sign Here)!!" Load. Of. Bull. No two people are alike, sun sign or not. I have a lot of Arian friends, but they're not all like me, and that's a FACT. Besides, you can't say that Arians shouldn't go out with people of a water sign because "fire and water don't mix." If you're heavy into the myth and magic behind astrology, and not just the science (which proves that horoscopes aren't hooey, btw), you'd find out that a balance between opposites makes for a very strong relationship. This is best seen in the tarot card "Temperence," where an angel sucessfully mixes fire and water-- without putting the fire out or without turning the water to steam. The same applies to Earth/Air signs. You forge your own destiny-- the stars just give you a glimpse down the road that takes you there.

Now, I'm going back to my HYD, because I'm currently obessive over Doumyoji. =)~~
