The Weekend ‐ The Zodiac and Horoscopes
(C0273) 
Angela: Hey Lydia, what are you reading?
Lydia: I’m looking at my horoscope for this month! My
outlook is very positive. It says that I should take a
vacation to someplace exotic, and that I will have a
passionate summer fling!
Angela: What are you talking about? Let me see that. . .
What are horoscopes?
Lydia: It’s a prediction of your month, based on your
zodiac sign . You have a different sign for the month and
date you were born in. I was born on April 15th, so I’m an
Aries. When were you born?
Angela: January 5th.
Lydia: Let’s see. . . you’re a Capricorn. It says that you
will be feeling stress at work, but you could see new,
exciting developments in your love life . Looks like we’ll
both have interesting summers!
Angela: That’s bogus. I don’t feel any stress at work, and
my love life is practically nonexistent. This zodiac stuff is
all a bunch of nonsense.
Lydia: No it’s not, your astrology sign can tell you a lot
about your personality. See? It says that an Aries is
energetic and loves to socialize. Angela: Well, you
certainly match those criteria, but they’re so broad they
could apply to anyone. What does it say about me?
Lydia: A Capricorn is serious-minded and practical. She
likes to do things in conventional ways. * laughs * That
sounds just like you!
