I don't follow horoscopes and have little knowledge of them. But I found a website where you can get the alignment of the stars on the day, time and location of your birth. The beginning paragraph describing AHL starts with: you are kind hearted and altruistic......

I am gagging here. ALTRUISTIC? KIND? Ok, now I really don't buy into horoscopes. I guess I didn't actually believe it would start with something like: 'you are a miserable, evil person with no other purpose in life than to bring misery and pain to others', but ALTRUISTIC? Maybe they were referring to altruism to his own ego? The dictionary describes altruism as
'Behavior by an animal that is not beneficial to or may be harmful to itself but that benefits others of its species.'
In this case, it should be described as 'behavior by an animal that is not beneficial to or may be harmful to others but that benefits itself.

It is true that AHL's birthname is the same as the archangel saint, but any other resemblance to heavenly seraphs ends there.

HG,

What a way to start my day! You made me laugh, thanks. Have always looked at horoscope every day when I can, I pick and choose, if it is bad I say, no way, good, go along with it. Today's, forget it. Not good and could get me in a lot of
trouble, more than I need. Thanks again, HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY.

Luv, Sherry
