Dear World,

I've never quite understood the concept of zodiac signs. So you're telling me since I was born within this specific time frame I'm going to act a certain way and have the same tendencies as others born within this time period? That's absurd. I thought.. this is just some earthy shit people back in the golden days made up when they only had the stars to look at and rocks to play with for entertainment. Really how could any of this be true?

We all know those people who are super into astrology and believe they truly connect with you through your sign. You'll be having a casual conversation and they look at you like, "Are you an Aquarius?" ...and you're kind of freaked out but also super intrigued how they guessed that. It's like you batted your eyes a certain way and they just know your life story.

Although I don't know much about astrology, I absolutely adore reading horoscopes. It's like a tradition on Monday's to go to Cosmopolitan to see if my life is about to fall apart. Weirdly, they're pretty accurate for the most part. I'll read through each one of my friends' signs and be like, "Okay, okay, she better watch her back for this tornado of a man who's about to swoop through and start wrecking things."

Honestly, jokes aside, it's been freaking me out how well these things describe my life. Just today, out of curiosity....since you know us "Aquarians" are known for that, I clicked on the link "What kind of mother you'll be according to your sign." Ya, I know some of you are thinking she actually has no life but what better way to avoid school work. I couldn't help but laugh because if I ever do get married and have kids, this article was spot on how I'd act.

If anyone wants a good laugh, basically the article explained the Aquarius moms as the cool ones who are very hot and cold. One moment we'll be hitting that festival with our kids and the next we'll be putting them in their place because they thought that poor display on the field was about to fly. (Hell nah, grab your cleats and let Mama show you how it's done). Also, if you don't think we're going to be up-to-date on the latest dances, you're poorly mistaken. I will be that mom stanky legging, milly rocking, hitting the quan, whatever the hell is in all over the place. My kids will adore me, I can feel it.

Moving on, here's what I've gathered from being an Aquarius and I guess a warning for those who want to be our friend, date us, marry us, etc. We're known to be wildly adventurous and very curious. So, you better keep up and be down for spontaneous activities. I suppose you could say Aquarians are a bit of wild cards. We are known to be fiercely independent and free-spirited. Taken from an excerpt on About Horoscope, this is about dealing with Aquarian women:

"She can be rather unpredictable and impractical, and keeping up with her may become too difficult for others. One needs a lot of patience to understand her. But when they get her emotional space, getting along with the Aquarius woman becomes easy. An Aquarius woman sets the bar really high, and expects the same from others. This is why she gets emotionally disappointed easily. False promises hurt her very much and she doesn’t forgive easily."

Hopefully, some of you gentlemen are taking notes, because this is the stuff that is rather accurate. Sandy wasn't lying in Grease, you better shape up.

Coming from a girl who never much believed in this astrology crap, it's quite fascinating how well people can pin point your life due to your sign. So thank you to everyone who studies this stuff and allows me to believe through my horoscopes just how wonderful or straining being my sign can be.

Sincerely,

Your favorite Aquarius
