Well, let’s talk about this star stuff, you know, the astrology thing. Folks always askin’ about it, so I figured I’d try to make sense of it all for ya.
First off, they got these things called zodiac signs. Now, don’t ask me why, but there’s twelve of ’em. Like, twelve different kinds of people, I guess. The first one, they call it Aries. Sounds like “air ease” to me, but whatever. They say these Aries folks, they always wanna be the best, like the rooster in the henhouse, always crowin’ the loudest. Always gotta be number one, they say.
Then there’s this other one, Aquarius, or somethin’ like that. Hard to remember these fancy names, you know? They say these folks are rare, like a hen’s tooth. Unique thinkers, they call ’em. Probably means they got their heads in the clouds most of the time.
Okay, so let’s get to the questions, the kind folks always askin’. Simple stuff first. How many of these signs are there? Well, I just told ya, twelve! See, I’m learnin’ this stuff too. And which one’s the first? That Aries fella, the one who wants to be the boss of everything.
Now, they got this other thing, see, about when you’re born. The time and place and all that. That decides somethin’ too, another sign or somethin’. It’s all a bit much, if you ask me. And then there’s these houses, like where you live, but not really. One house is about money and stuff. Wish I knew more about that house, maybe I’d be rich!
- They got this fella they call the “father of modern somethin’-or-other.” Don’t know who he is, but he sounds important. Probably some smarty-pants from the city.
- And they got this “goat-horned” sign. Guess that’s a goat with horns, huh? Makes sense, I guess. Not sure what it means, though.
- Then they talk about countries and animals and all sorts of things. Like, which country ain’t on some line, and which animal ain’t part of some Chinese somethin’. Too much for my old brain, I tell ya.
Some folks say this astrology stuff started way back when, in some place called Babylon. Don’t know where that is, but it sounds far away. And they say some things are true and some are false. Like, is this Gemini one an earth sign? Beats me. And was this Galileo fella one of these star-gazers? No idea. And they say each sign takes up thirty somethin’, like spaces in the sky, I guess. It’s all numbers and lines and whatnot.
They even got picture quizzes! Show you a picture and you gotta guess the sign. Like a goat, or those scales they use to weigh things, or a scorpion. I seen scorpions, nasty critters. And twins, and a bull. I know about bulls, used to have one on the farm, stubborn as a mule he was. And that Aries fella again, always showin’ up.
Then there’s the birthdays. If you’re born on Christmas, what’s your sign? And if you’re born in the summer, what’s yours then? They got it all figured out, these astrology folks.
They got quizzes all over the place, askin’ you about elements, like fire and earth. Matchin’ signs to elements, like some kinda puzzle. It’s like a game to them, I reckon. But they say it can tell you about yourself, about what’s hidden inside ya. Maybe it’s true, maybe it ain’t. I reckon folks just like to have somethin’ to believe in, somethin’ to make sense of this crazy world. Me? I just believe in hard work and good eatin’. But hey, to each their own, right?
Anyway, that’s the gist of it, as far as I can tell. This astrology stuff, it’s a whole lot of somethin’, that’s for sure. Maybe you’ll make more sense of it than I do.
