Astrology and the perfect man.

There are only two things I know about astrology. One my star sign is a Libra and two I own a book called ‘How to spot a Bastard by his star sign.’
It is a great book, pure comic genius written by two very frustrated women; but a brilliant read none the less.
According to the book the Taurus Bastard keeps your innumerable betrayals on his mental scoreboard (must remember that one!), the Capricorn Bastard takes everything seriously, the Aquarius Bastard is the most reasonable bastard you’ll ever encounter; he’ll even agree he’s a bastard and the Aries Bastard will use gorilla tactics to win you over. Sounds great so far…
Although the book reels off which men I should be compatible with, it still leaves me giggling at the authors and shaking my head at the nonsense written on the pages.
But how fair is it to call it all nonsense?
Apparently I’m compatible with Capricorns, Libras and Aquarius men and will admit I’ve had some great times with them; but does it mean my future husband will fall into one of the above categories?
Granted, some people you do just click with, whether that has anything to do with star signs is a separate matter. Yes, it would be lovely to believe it, but it’s not wise to ignore people (Bastards in the case of the book) solely because of ‘personality clashes.’ You need opposing personalities to make things work, to keep you on your toes and leave you wanting more.
The only fact that keeps me wondering, is that every time I meet a non compatible male star sign (so that’s every 8/11 men) things always go wrong, and every time I meet a compatible male things tend to run a bit smoother.
It’s a funny old world; one which I don’t think is helped by astrology. But it will never stop us from reading about it or having a sneaky peak at the star sign of our future spooning partners.

  2. Thank you for noticing, but the book does actually say 'gorilla.' Perhaps they were referring to the large ape after all?x.
