I'm a Sagitarius. I don't follow or even look at horoscopes. I do see, however, patterns in my life that are hard to dismiss. These patterns are not me, but in my friends or loved ones. I have had 5 really good friends in my life - like best friends - in my journies. Three of those 5 were born on February 19th.- all in different years. The other two were both born on July 2nd, again in different years. My first wife (deceased) was born on February 15th - we were friends first, last and always. I don't have any good explanation for the date coincidences. I don't consider astrology a GOOD explanation. I have a bad explanation, but I don't believe a daily horoscope will help anyone. My favorite 'horoscope' story comes from a book in my own library entitled "Fryer's Travels" by a Dr. Johnathan Fryer, published in 1695. Fryer traveled to Persia and returned with the account of an astrologer that tells the Persian leader that he had studied the stars regarding the lake border attacks by Cossack raiders and forsaw the total defeat of the Persian fleet. The leader, under instructions of the astrologer, chained all his ships together and gave instructions to the 'admiral' to sail out and 'encircle' the Cossack fleet with the chained ships and destroy them. Needless to say, the astrologer was right. The Cossacks sunk the ships at each end of the chain and their sinking pulled the other ships down, destroying the entire Persian fleet. It must have been in the stars!
