The Truth About Astrology
When it comes to astrology, you are only a Gemini, Libra, Scorpio, or Taurus if you truly believe you are, and subconsciously decide to emulate the vague traits outlined in astrological theory. It works in the same way that being a Christian causes you to act like a 'good Christian,' or being Islamic causes you to act like a 'good Muslim,' based on the vague (or, perhaps, strict and specific) outline provided by books like the Qua'ran or the Bible. You subconsciously become what you believe in. And trust me... some things are simply not true. Astrology, although I don't enjoy condemning certain fields of thought and study, is an interesting charade that fits into the famous lines of the former Nazi propoganda minister Joseph Goebbels: “A lie repeated a thousand times becomes a truth."
The world is meaningless,
there is no God or gods, there are no morals, the universe is not moving inexorably towards any higher purpose.
All meaning is man-made, so make your own, and make it well.
Do not treat life as a way to pass the time until you die.
Do not try to "find yourself", you must make yourself.
Choose what you want to find meaningful and live, create, love, hate, cry, destroy, fight and die for it.
Do not let your life and your values and your actions slip easily into any mold, other that that which you create for yourself, and say with conviction, "This is who I make myself".
Do not give in to hope.
Remember that nothing you do has any significance beyond that with which you imbue it.
Whatever you do, do it for its own sake.
When the universe looks on with indifference, laugh, and shout back, "Fuck You!".
Rembember that to fight meaninglessness is futile, but fight anyway, in spite of and because of its futility.
The world may be empty of meaning, but it is a blank canvas on which to paint meanings of your own.
Live deliberately. You are free.
