The Historian

I think everyone has an interest in horoscopes. For some it may an interest in stomping it from the face of the planet for its blasphemous ways and others a thing to rules their lives. For me it is a passing amusement, purely entertainment. That said it is often striking when they reveal something that seem to be largely true.

Tonight in my wandering of the Internet I cam across a Chinese Horoscope page. I’m a Metal Dog which goes something like this:

Metal Dogs have extremely high standards and expect a lot of themselves and of others. They are loyal and hold a strong outlook about the direction they want their life to take. They choose their friends and causes with care, as they do not plan to ever not support these people and things again. Once they have committed themselves, there is little to no turning back. They are bold, unafraid to disagree out loud about anything they feel is unjust or unfair. Metal Dogs are easily stressed if a plan does not go accordingly. They find it difficult to relax when there are things to be done.

And of course in Sun sign astrology I’m Taurus. Which I will leave to you to look up, if you so desire. But what really got me caught my attention tonight was the blending of these two, the “Taurean Dog”

These Dogs are more conventional in how they view the world. They are heroic community leaders and concerned neighbors. They are stable and resilient in their search for truth and justice.

Amusing isn’t it… But I have to admit not quite as uncanny as my Myers-Briggs (Jung) Typology… but that is for another day.
