Visitor here, need some insight on what's going on with my Pisces newspaper horoscope these 2 weeks

Last edited Sun Mar 3, 2024, 02:37 PM - Edit history (1)

Be kind, am a first time visitor here, am totally a novice in things astrological - nothing beyond looking at a newspaper pop reading daily, nothing in-depth (birth clock time, zero complicated charts). In the 1970s, went along with the fads of what's-your-sign and such. Over the decades from my personal experience, have learned anecdotal personality traits about some signs - Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Scorpio, Gemini, but especially Virgos (very compatible with me) and Libra (attracting but very challenging).

*** So back then, the popular diss on Pisces was that we are "moody" and "wishy-washy" while favorability was framed as "intuitive", that Aires was the begining and Pisces the end (death?). And a decade or more ago, there was this popular newspaper horoscope column that gave daily ratings of stars 1-5 of how the day would be for each sign, and this person seemed to be very down on Pisces, seemingly low stars more often than not, and I actually emailed or something saying this to her, to which this nationally known person replied *angrily* denying.

Don't get me wrong, I don't base my choices on whoever gives the most flattering readings, can roll with the Ups and Downs. But that 5-stars person has dropped out of availability for me, and for the past several years, Sally BROMPTON has been my daily go-to because of Regis PHILBIN's frequent lauding and hosting of her, sort of innocuous either way.

*** But my question now is: Usually(?) readings during birthday times seem to be fairly positive, no? But this year for the first time ever, my BROMPTON newspaper pop readings over the past couple of weeks have been very sort of warning, deterring, criticizing, almost menacingly cautioning.

I'm an Early Pisces, 20 Feb. What's going on? Tia

*** ON EDIT: *** But, really, after a week, then another week of negative readings culminating with a *bad* one for this past weekend, guess what, something *BAD* on the internet happened my way.

We’re both Dreamers wanting a better world but I am just a dabbler and don’t take horoscopes seriously.

3. Exactly me, too, but I look daily and take the momentary rush, then move on.

But I really think I can see some personality traits?

early Pisces. They have the best of luck, and generally have a good head on their shoulder. I have often wished to be born early Pisces.

Got couple or three Risk/Warnings about Dangerous pages - the site wanted to download some kind of PDF opener (I've got mine).. Probably my anti-virus is hyperventilating, but my know-how is too deficient to overcome my chickenness.

try Astro.com (used to be astrodienst) - they can give you a chart and under extended readings, they give you abbreviated reports.
