The horoscopes we see in newspapers and magazines are always flattering to people, no matter what sign of the Zodiac they were born under. In an effort to correct that gross misrepresentation, I present The Horoscope of Painful Truth:
TODAY
ARIES: Your usual habit of charging ahead with your own projects and expecting everyone to drop everything and go along with you will backfire when someone hauls off and punches you out.
TAURUS: Your innate stubbornness and hatred of being told what to do will cause you to take a swing at your asshole Aries boss. Be prepared to head for the unemployment office when you get out of the hospital.
GEMINI: You are advised to stop flitting around before you drive everyone crazy wondering what you’re up to and if you will tell the truth when finally confronted.
CANCER: Your grumpy moodiness is getting on everyone’s nerves. Stop being a wet blanket. Do some yoga or get yourself some Prozac.
LEO: You tend to forget that you are not the center of the universe. You will be flattered today by someone who wants something from you, and you will be dumb enough to fall for it.
VIRGO: Nobody cares if you have every thread in place. You look okay. Get over it.
LIBRA: You will spend so much time trying to decide what color to paint your house that it will never get done and your house will become a neighborhood eyesore. Your neighbors will torch the house one evening when you are out carousing, and you will spend the rest of your life living in the bus depot, amusing yourself by arguing with anyone who will talk to you.
SCORPIO: Don’t let the fact that you are oversexed and vindictive get in the way of your overwhelming ambition to attain absolute control over your part of the world, wherever it is.
SAGITTARIUS: Your big mouth will get you in trouble again. This is nothing new. You’re so used to it that you carry a boxer’s mouthpiece at all times, in case someone is about to clobber you. Animals love you, but only because they can’t understand what you say to them.
CAPRICORN: No, you won’t get into Who’s Who just by looking younger than you really are. You will have to get rich or achieve something. Those are the rules.
AQUARIUS: The world will recognize what a genius you are only after everyone stops thinking you’re just weird. This will take some time because, let’s face it, you are weird.
PISCES: Your overly sensitive, impractical, spiritual, dreamy nature makes you a perfect artist, writer, monk or mass murderer. No matter how smart you are, you’ll never make any money, but someone will always take care of you because you can be really charming when you care to take the trouble.
I’m an Aquarius, and this is the first horoscope I’ve seen that I think is spot on. Great stuff here.
I’m a Pisces. Some astrologers call Pisces “The Dust Bin of the Zodiac,” which says a whole bunch and doesn’t sound very complimentary.
On the other hand, a complimentary assessment isn’t very funny.
You should make a holiday card of The Horoscope of Painful Truth or better again, maybe you can have a chat with Physic Deb Martin hyphen Webster and find out how much of it is definitely going to happen!
Of course. In situations like this, a second opinion is always called for.
Newspapers should pick this one up Kathy!
From your mouth to God’s ears!
This is one of your better posts! Funny!
Aw shucks! Thank you, Sir!
