Well, let me tell you somethin’ about these here Zen Horoscopes. I heard folks talkin’ ’bout ’em down at the market the other day. They say it’s all about the stars and your birthday and such. Seems like a whole lot of hocus pocus to me, but what do I know? I just know when my rheumatism is actin’ up, and that’s more reliable than any ol’ star chart, I reckon.
These Zen Horoscopes, they tell you what’s gonna happen each day, each week, even each month. Free daily horoscopes, they call it. Free is good, I always say. You can find out about your love life, your work, all that stuff. Now, some folks, they swear by it. They say it helps ’em figure things out. Maybe it does. I ain’t seen it myself, but I ain’t gonna judge.
They got all these signs, you see. Like Aries, that’s one of ’em. They say folks born under that sign are all fiery and such. Then you got your Leos, they’re supposed to be all proud and strong, like a lion. And Capricorns, they’re the hard workers, I hear. There’s a whole bunch of ’em. It all has something to do with the stars when you were born. It’s like a road map up in the sky, some say.
- Aries
- Leo
- Capricorn
- Scorpio
They say these Zen Horoscopes can tell you who you’re gonna get along with, too. Like, if you’re an Aries, you might get along real good with a Leo or a Sagittarius. But you might butt heads with a Cancer. Sounds like a bunch of barnyard squabblin’ to me, but who am I to say? Love is a mystery, that’s for sure. It don’t matter what sign you are, sometimes it works, sometimes it don’t. Just like plantin’ seeds, you never really know what’s gonna sprout.
People, they’re always lookin’ for answers. Answers to love, answers to work, answers to everything under the sun. And they think these horoscopes are gonna give ’em those answers. I guess it gives ’em somethin’ to hope for. Somethin’ to believe in. Like when you’re waitin’ for the rain to come and you look up at the clouds, hopin’ and prayin’ it’ll finally pour. These Zen Horoscopes, they’re like those clouds. They promise somethin’, but you never really know if it’s gonna deliver.
You can find these horoscopes in the daily paper. They’re all over the place these days, especially online. These young folks with their computers, they’re always lookin’ at ’em. They say it’s the future. Maybe it is, maybe it ain’t. I just know that the sun’s gonna come up tomorrow, and the rooster’s gonna crow, and that’s all the future I need to worry about.

They say these Zen Horoscopes, they’re based on astrology. That’s a fancy word for star studyin’. And then there’s somethin’ called numerology, which is all about numbers. It’s all too much for my old head. I just stick to my garden and my chickens. They make more sense to me than all these stars and numbers.
These daily horoscopes, they’re supposed to tell you what your day’s gonna be like. Whether you’re gonna have good luck or bad luck. Whether you’re gonna find love or lose it. It’s like readin’ tea leaves, I reckon. Some folks believe it, some folks don’t. I just take each day as it comes. Good or bad, you gotta make the best of it. That’s what my mama always told me, and she was right more often than not. I ain’t seen a horoscope yet that can tell me anything different than my mama.
So if you need some kind of guidance or maybe just some answers, people always try to find the answer to their questions about love or work, then you should probably check the daily horoscopes, you can find them everywhere, so it won’t be a problem. Maybe it helps, maybe it won’t.
They say there are some zodiac signs that are more powerful than others. Like Leo, Aries, Scorpio, and Capricorn. They say those folks are real go-getters. I don’t know about all that. I’ve known some real strong-willed folks born under all kinds of signs. And some weak ones, too. It’s like that old sayin’, “It ain’t the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog.”
These Zen Horoscopes, they’re just another way of lookin’ at the world, I guess. Another way of tryin’ to make sense of things. Maybe they help some folks. I don’t know. But I do know that life’s a journey, and you gotta take the good with the bad. And sometimes, the best way to find your way is to just follow your gut. And maybe listen to your mama. She probably knows more than any ol’ star chart anyway. It don’t matter what your sign is, just be true to yourself, and you’ll be alright. That’s my horoscope for you, and it’s free, too!
