Scorpio (October 24-November 22)
Scorpio endures to the bitter end. She is honest and never forgets. When she wants something, she will not rest until she has experienced it. And once having begun a course of action, she will fo whatever it takes to arrive at her goal. Scorpio does not tolerate criticism. And with her elephant memory, she won’t ever forget uncalled for slights. She is justly proud of her immense will power, which can overcome all obstacles. Even if she cannot achieve her goals right away, she knows she will get there in time. And she usually succeeds, thanks to her incredible endurance and ability to focus. But her focus on an objective can lead her into difficult situations. If she finds herself up against a brick wall, she can fall into a deep depression. Then she tries to break through her own boundaries. If she drops her with someone and is not taken advantage of, she can become a true friend and partner to that person. Scorpios like to live well. They enjoy socializing and appreciate fine restaurants. But they are connoisseurs, only the finest food and wine meet their exacting standards. They do not compromise; they will agree only with the truth. Speaking the truth can make them lonely, especially when done so without regard to the feelings of others. But that is the price one pays for being a Scorpio.

And this post exemplifies everything what’s wrong with astrology in its unbridled arrogance of thinking that you can tell what a person’s weaknesses and personality flaws are and prescribe them a treatment based on nothing but the day they were born on.
Also, if you look closely, you’ll find that astrology and racism share much in common.
