    Thanks, Jackarrie for your good wishes, and congratulations on your result too. Although I'm pretty sure our ideas on astrology are somewhat different, our entries for this were kind of similar :)

    Do you believe in Astrology,? I do.

    No, hence my comment. But I think for a believer, you did a good job poking fun :)
reply by Jackarrie on 14-Jun-2015
    No everyone appreciated it. they did not realize it was meant for poking fun.

    Oh really? That's a shame. I think ours were about equally as nasty, but I didn't get any grief over mine. Some people are far too thin skinned and/or lacking humour.

Hah-ha, well, I was born on June 21, right on the cusp of the signs of Gemini and Cancer. All of my friends already believe I'm psychotic, and I suspect one of my dogs does as well. Call it intuition.

People also have a tendency to see me as borderline schizophrenic, just as you've stated, it doesn't bother us...e-r-r-r-, heh-heh,... I mean me...it doesn't bother me.. We simply continue to do our own thing, as always.

Good luck to you in the contest. We hope our vote helps you to come out on top. Funny. It only counted as one...

    Ouch! I hope you know that I regard every single word I wrote in this piece as absolute rubbish. The idea that the date on which you were born, or the alignment of the planets at the time has any bearing on anything whatsoever is just hmmm perhaps I should say "unlikely", so as to avoid possible offence? Maybe I should have put a disclaimer on this? Oh, and btw.... I am Cancer, so I don't think I spared myself any abuse! Thanks for reviewing this Dean :)

    Ha-ha...I wasn't offended in the least, my anonymous friend, and everything I said about myself is true...really. I thought is was actually very funny in fact. I wouldn't have voted for you if I were offended, LOL. :)

    Oh, and somehow I managed to miss the bit about getting your vote - especially thank you for that, D&D!

This was hilarious... especially when I clued in people who I know in each sign. lol

myself:
Pisces (February 20 - March 20)

Awards and honors could be coming your way. With Saturn retrograding back into Scorpio, the pressure will begin to ease off at work, allowing you to concentrate on other things - like your navel. June 8 will be a great day health wise, so if you have any medical concerns whatsoever, have your mommy book you an appointment for that day. (my navel is pierced by the way... just an fyi)

this Gemini one was really cute:
. People have a tendency to see you as borderline schizophrenic, but that shouldn't be of concern to either of you. Just do your own thing, as always. (but I think you've got your disorders mixed up... schizophrenics don't have multiples... they changed that to people with Dissociative Identity Disorder (D.I.D) don't even ask me how I know that... lol

at Libra you start getting a bit snippy, which cracked me up:
'This month, you have exciting prospects for travel and work advancement, just like every other frigging sign. '

lol
and
I'd love to know which Capricorn ticked you off:
For you, June will be a month of surprises. Plans involving real estate could well be on the cards. June 2nd's full moon is in your twelfth house, and Jupiter is in your eighth - which can only mean one thing: you have too many houses. This month is a good month to focus on fitness. Approach your psychological problems in a positive frame of mind, and try not to be so boring.

ok... which sign are you? Scorpio? :)

    Scorpio? Now I've got to re-check what I read, I have to know what you think of me! lol - Hey, OCD???
    Actually I'm a Cancer, I don't think I spared myself any pain.
    I tried to be equally as obnoxious to everyone, just to make sure I don't have ANY friends left. ;-)

An amusing innovative take on the normal dry, boring horoscopes, which I don't read! I hope you haven't got mine right, I am not obsessed with me, I actually care about others!! Well devised and a fun read. Good luck in the contest. Faye

    Haha... I'm sure you're not how this would have portrayed you. If it's any consolation, I think I saved the worst for my own sign! I think it's ridiculous to assume anyone's character owes anything to the date on which they happened to be born - it was all just a bit of fun. Thanks for taking the time to read it, and for your kind words, and the nice rating :)

Virgo was absolutely hilarious! I think you have done very well in following the rules and spirit of this contest. I am glad I am not that Virgo, but my Cancer horoscope was a little bit harsh! lol Moody, me? This was well written. Wishing you the best of luck in this contest.

    Well, thank you for the kind words, but you're not the only Cancer in town!
