First Name:Naomi Sun Sign:Scorpio Gender:F

I read my horoscope on a sporadic regular basis which means I read it but it's not a daily thing. And just for information sake, I'm a Scorpio which I've been told is an awesome thing because Scorpios are the dominant sign of astrology...whether it's true in Vedic astrology or not, I'm not sure.

I don't like to say that any one thing in life is true when it comes to people's spirituality because honestly, spritituality is a very personal thing. No two are alike. It's impossible because spirituality is a unique relationship with whatever omnipotent deity is believed to be in power. And well, despite what skeptics say astrology falls into the realms of religion and spirituality.

Having said that...and I think there may have been an organized point somewhere in there...there is a similar thread that runs through all of us. It's this need for equilibrium in life, death, creation, God. We all want a sense of peace and understanding in ourselves and why things happen. So, we seek out religion to help explore and express that innate spirituality. Whether you subscribe to fundamental Christianity, Hasidic Judaism, Vedic astrology, The I Ching, some form of animism, Freudian psychology or the scraps of paper stuffed in a fortune cookie with Saturday's Chinese takeout; there are nuggets of wisdom to be dug out and applied to daily life. And what skeptics of any religion will always dismiss as coincidence, those nuggets seem to come at the most opportune moments.

So...I want to share my daily horoscope from Yahoo Astrology dated today.

Do not automatically think that beauty always has to be defined by old-fashioned standards, Naomi. It is time to set your own definition. There is no need to squeeze yourself into some socially constructed mold that doesn't resonate with who you truly are. Your job is not to try and make sure that everyone loves you. There is only one person you need to satisfy, and that is yourself.

Oh, honey, that is SO true. Every word. And horoscopes tend to have that amazing ability to show up and have the most profound meanings at the most needed and unexpected times. There has to be more to that than sheer coincidence. It's like a big, cosmic hug reminding you that there is more to life.
