Paul Rimstead - on horoscopes...
I would like to make a statement. First of all, I do not believe in astrology, numerology, or ghosts. I happen to be old-fashioned. I think people are mostly in control of their own destinies and all this other crap is used only as an excuse because very few of us have ever figured how to handle our ordinary lives. Mind you, I read my horoscope from time to time.
"Check this one out," a young lady said yesterday afternoon. It was Barbara Hamilton, the talented comedienne who has done a lot of everything.
"Where did you get it?" I asked.
"Rex Loring gave it to me," she said. Rex, of course, is one of the country's talented radio announcers.
I read it over and reprint it now, knowing, because of the Pisces message, that it's obviously American. That's not so bad, though, because we'll all be Americans some day anyway. This, if you're tired of the usual astrology crap, is the way someone sees it:
Aquarius - January 20th to February 18th
You have an inventive mind and are inclined to be progressive. You lie a great deal. On the other hand, you are inclined to be careless and impractical causing you to make the same mistake over and over and over again. People think you are stupid.
Pisces - February 19th to March 20th
You have a vivid imagination and often think you are being followed by the CIA and FBI. You have minor influence over your associates and people resent you for your flaunting of your power. You lack confidence and are generally a coward. Pisces people do terrible things to small animals.
Aries - March 21st to April 19th
You are the pioneer type and hold most people in contempt. You are quick tempered, impatient, and scornful of advice. You are not very nice.
Taurus - April 20th to May 28th
You are practical and persistent. You have a dogged determination and work like hell. Most people think you are stubborn and bull-headed. You are a Communist.
Gemini - May 21st to June 28th
You are a quick and intelligent thinker. People like you because you are bi-sexual. However, you're inclined to expect too much for too little. This means you are cheap. Geminis are known for committing incest.
Leo - July 23rd to August 22nd
You consider yourself a born leader. Others think you are pushy. Most Leo people are bullies. You are vain and dislike honest criticism. Your arrogance is disgusting. Leo people are known thieves.
Virgo - August 23rd to September 22nd
You are the logical type and hate disorder. This nitpicking is sickening to your friends. You are cold and unemotional and sometimes fall asleep while making love. Virgos make good bus drivers.
Libra - September 23rd to October 27
You are the artistic type and have a difficult time with reality. If you are a man, you more than likely are queer. Chances for employment and monetary gain are excellent. Most Libra women are good prostitutes. All Libras die of some venereal disease.
Scorpio - October 23rd to November 21st
You are shrewd in business and cannot be trusted. You shall achieve the pinnacle of success because of your total lack of ethics. Most Scorpio people are murdered.
Sagitarius - November 22nd to December 21st
You are optimistic and enthusiastic. You have a reckless tendency to rely on luck since you lack talent. The majority of Sagitarians are drunks or dope fiends. People laugh at you and great deal.
Capricorn - December 22nd to January 19th
You are conservative and afraid of taking risks. You don't do much of anything and are lazy. There has never been a Capricorn of any importance. Capricorns should avoid standing still too long as they tend to take root and become trees.
I happen to be an Aquarius and I object to the fact that people think I'm stupid - even if it is true.
I am happy, however, not to be a Virgo. I never fall asleep. Not, that is, if I make up my mind before I close my eyes.
