Horoscopes for Beginners

I never get involved in a new relationship without first looking at some compatibility horoscopes. It used to start out as a gag. I was a pretty whimsical teenager, and I looked at the compatibility horoscope merely as a joke when I got involved with my first boyfriend. Surprisingly, it told me that we had nothing in common and shouldn't get involved. I expected an compatibility horoscope to tell you what you want to hear, so it was strange to get such a negative message. At the time, I was completely in love with him, so I figured that It was just an idle piece of superstition. There was no reason for me to believe that compatibility horoscopes were right, after all.
If I had listened, I would have saved myself a lot of heartache. Wouldn't you know it, that love horoscope was absolutely correct. This wasn't one of those daily horoscopes that goes for everyone either. It was something put together by a semi-professional astrologer for my benefit alone. When she told me what she told me, I was hard pressed not to laugh at first. In the long run, however, the joke was on me.
For the next couple relationships, I was sure to get compatibility horoscopes when they started. In both of them, the astrologer told me that they would last for awhile, but wouldn't go on forever. I was dating people who were sort of half compatible with me " good enough to have fun with, but not enough to form a lifetime partnership with. I was okay with this. I just wanted fun at the time.
The next couple relationships after that were different, however. I really liked my partner so much that I almost decided not to go in to get a compatibility horoscope. All of my compatibility horoscopes so far had seemed to doom my relationships, and I was worried that this would happen again. I wasn't worried in vain. One of them was, according to the astrologer, a complete mistake. The other one would be fun, but not very deep. In both cases, she turned out to be right.
By that point, I had reached a state of complete faith in compatibility horoscopes. I did not have a particularly strong feeling about astrology in general, but I knew that this particular astrologer knew all about my love sign. That is why I was so surprised when I went for my latest reading. She was off the charts positive about it. She told me that I would fall in love, stay with this guy for ever, and live happily ever after. I was a bit incredulous, but I thought I'd give the relationship a try anyway. Two years on, we are still dating and are thinking about getting married. Needless to say, I'm pleased.
