Well‚ howdy there‚ y’all! Let’s gab a bit about this here… thingamajig… astro-whatsit? Oh yeah‚ Astrology! Folks been lookin’ up at them stars for donkey’s years， tryin’ to figure stuff out｡ It’s like tryin’ to guess how many beans are in a jar， but with the whole sky!
Some folks over on this Lindaland place， they’re real keen on it。 They call it “Uncoverin’ the Mysteries of Astrology‚” sounds fancy‚ don’t it? But it’s just folks tryin’ to make sense of things‚ like why the rooster crows when he does‚ or why the rain comes when it does｡ Only they’re lookin’ at stars ‘stead of chickens and clouds。
They got this place‚ somethin’ called “The Astrology Academy。” Sounds highfalutin’， but I bet it’s just a bunch of folks sittin’ around， scratchin’ their heads and lookin’ at charts｡ You know‚ charts with squiggly lines and pictures of goats and crabs and such｡ Makes my head spin just thinkin’ about it。
They say them stars can tell ya ’bout yourself， ’bout your personality， they call it。 Like if you’re born under a ram‚ you’re stubborn as a mule｡ If you’re born under a fish‚ well‚ you’re slippery as one‚ I guess｡ Don’t make a lick of sense to me‚ but folks get all worked up about it｡
- They say the stars can tell ya ’bout love‚ too。 Who you gonna marry‚ how many kids you gonna have。 Shoot， I didn’t need no stars to tell me I’d end up with old Jed and have a whole passel of young’uns。 Life just happens‚ that’s what I say｡
- And they talk about them planets｡ Mars and Venus and such｡ Say they mean somethin’ or other｡ Like Mars makes you mad and Venus makes you lovey-dovey｡ Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me‚ but what do I know? I’m just an old woman who’s seen a lot of sunrises and sunsets。
- They even got signs for each month‚ zodiac signs‚ they call ’em。 Aries and Taurus and Gemini and all that｡ I can’t keep ’em straight｡ Sounds like a bunch of gibberish to me｡ But folks swear by it｡ They read their horoscopes every day‚ like it’s the gospel truth。
This Lindaland place‚ they’re tryin’ to make sense of it all。 They’re “delvin’‚” they say‚ into the world of astrology｡ Delvin’ sounds like somethin’ you do with a shovel‚ but I guess it means they’re thinkin’ real hard about it｡ They wanna know what each planet means when it’s in each sign。 Like what happens when Mars is in the goat sign or when Venus is in the fish sign｡ It’s enough to make your head hurt｡
They go on and on about the moon‚ too｡ Say it affects your mood‚ makes you crazy sometimes｡ Well， I reckon the moon don’t make you any crazier than you already are｡ If you’re a grumpy old coot‚ you’re a grumpy old coot， moon or no moon｡
But folks are curious， I guess｡ They wanna know what the future holds｡ They wanna know if they’re gonna be happy or sad， rich or poor， healthy or sick｡ And them stars， they seem to offer some answers‚ or at least some comfort。 Even if it’s just a bunch of hogwash‚ sometimes it’s nice to have somethin’ to believe in‚ somethin’ to hold onto｡
So‚ if you’re lookin’ for answers in the stars， maybe Lindaland’s the place for you｡ Me? I’ll stick to watchin’ the chickens and the clouds。 They make a whole lot more sense to me｡ But who am I to judge? Folks gotta believe in somethin’， I reckon｡ And if it’s stars‚ well， that’s just fine and dandy｡ At least they’re pretty to look at｡
In the end‚ whether you believe in it or not‚ this Astrology thing is here to stay｡ Like the weeds in the garden‚ it just keeps popping up。 So next time you look up at the night sky， think of them folks at Lindaland‚ scratchin’ their heads and lookin’ for answers。 And maybe‚ just maybe‚ you’ll see somethin’ more than just twinkly lights｡
