Well, howdy there! Let’s talk about this here “astrology print” thing. Don’t rightly know what all them fancy words mean, but I reckon it’s somethin’ about stars and such. My grandpappy used to say the stars told stories, but he was talkin’ ’bout the Big Dipper and pointin’ the way home, not all this… this… what-you-ma-call-it… horry-scopes stuff.
Anyways, seems folks are makin’ pictures now, pictures of the stars, for birthdays and weddin’s and whatnot. They call it “personalized star maps” and “night sky constellations.” Sounds purdy, I guess. Like somethin’ you’d hang on the wall next to the picture of your prize-winning hog.
- They got these things called “birth charts,” too. Supposed to tell you about yourself, your personality and all.
- I reckon I know myself pretty good already. Don’t need no fancy chart to tell me I like biscuits and gravy and gettin’ up early to feed the chickens.
Now, they’re sellin’ these prints online, on somethin’ called the “Amazon.” My niece showed me once. Lots of stuff on there, more than you can shake a stick at. You can even get books and work sheets, “PDF format” they call it, all about this here astrology. Learn all about the sun and the moon and your “rising signs.” Heard tell them young folks are real into this. Somethin’ about finding your path and livin’ a “fulfilling life.” Well, I reckon a full belly and a good night’s sleep are pretty fulfillin’ myself.
They say your “sun, moon, and rising signs” are your “Big Three.” Sounds important. Like the three-legged stool in my kitchen, can’t sit right without all three legs. Each one tells a different story, they say. One about your heart, one about your feelings, and one about how you show yourself to the world. Don’t rightly know what all that means, but I guess it’s somethin’ to think about while you’re churnin’ butter.
If you’re wantin’ to learn more about this here astrology, you can read books, take a class – even online, they got classes for everything now – or go to a meetin’ with other folks who are into it. You can even get a little paper that says you learned somethin’, a “certificate” they call it. Seems like a lot of trouble to go to, but I guess folks like learnin’ new things. Me, I’m happy learnin’ how to make a better apple pie.
For gifts, they got all sorts of things you can buy. Journals with fancy stitchin’, necklaces with little moons on ’em, and of course, them star maps. Seems like a good way to spend your money if you got it. I’d rather save up for a new tractor, myself.
Now, some folks say this here astrology ain’t real. Say it’s just a bunch of hooey. Scientists and such, they done did tests and say there ain’t no proof to it. But I reckon people like to believe in somethin’. Whether it’s the stars or the good Lord above, it’s all the same, ain’t it? Somethin’ to give you hope and somethin’ to guide you. And if a pretty picture of the stars on your birthday makes you happy, well, I reckon that’s all that matters.
So, there you have it. That’s what I know about this here “astrology print.” Not much, maybe, but it’s somethin’. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I got to go check on them chickens.
