Does Elle have all the answers?
Maybe not, but as I discovered this evening, they do have a particularly prescient horoscope for me this month. Witness:
You're not your usual focused self as February moves in. Stop toying with so many ifs and start making definitive decisions. Alluring job options and hot romantic prospects abound, but they'll slip away if you aren't proactive.
Huh. Well, that's certainly...relevant. But just to keep myself grounded in the reality of horoscopes being complete crap, no matter how pointedly accurate they seem, I crossed the page to the numerology forecast. Which said:
Trust your redoubtable instincts. You have an expert eye for quality and opportunity this month--although others may question your ideas. Don't be dissuaded by their lack of vision. You can spot a winner--perhaps a long shot--that others grossly underestimate.
So now I'm wondering--would it be wrong to start basing major life decisions on the Elle horoscope page? Wait, don't tell me. I know it would. Which is why I'm leaving those decisions up to my Magic 8-Ball sucker instead. (Too bad it answers every question I ask it with either, "Rely on it!" or "No doubt!", even when such answers are clearly contradictory. Oh, except when I ask it why it's so stupid. Then it just gives me, "Ask again later." This is not the best year for me with Magic 8-Balls, clearly.)
