I can't tell you how many times a week someone bombards me with questions about astrology. Whether it's about themselves, someone they know, or simply the compatibility between them and their cat.

I'm not complaining -- I love every second of it. The entire reason I learned astrology was to better understand myself, others, and our relationships with the universe. It fascinating.

With that said, I have a thousand things to do on a daily basis, and I get a text saying "11/10/92 + 6/15/93." Anyone else might question the meaning behind the random birthdays in my inbox, but I know exactly what it means. It means, "Hey, Tiffany. I've been talking about you to this person and now they are wondering how much they get along with their significant other."

First of all, they should already know that, but alright I will look up their stuff and tell you what it means for them. It's fun, and takes my mind off of everything else I have to do.

However, something that a lot of people don't realize is that astrology isn't chalked up to simply sun signs. There's an entire chart with all of the planets, their houses, the aspects between them, stars, asteroids. It's complex, and as a result, time consuming for a daily task.

Being the astrology friend has its perks. I feel needed and special, knowing all of this information that a lot of people don't. I love getting a general understanding of people without ever really knowing them. But what was better was when people asked me first. I liked that long drawn out sentence where there was an opportunity for me to say no.

Not because I don't love the person, not because it's rude, not because I'm annoyed. Maybe a little because I feel like they should be forking over some cash for my services. But mostly because I want people to understand that this is stuff they can figure out on their own.

Go to Astro.com, type in your birth information, google what all the symbols mean, the placements; learn more about yourself, the people around you. It is your life after all. And it is one hell of a hobby if I do say so myself.

Now if you want my help with any of it, understanding the meaning behind things, etc., by all means come to me. We all start somewhere.

Even if astrology is complete bull crap to you, it's still an interesting concept. Maybe you think it's all fake, but why not figure out for yourself?

Because when I meet a person for the first time and think "Sagittarius," and later find out I was right, it proves there's at least a little bit of truth behind the signs.
