Notes from the Pond by Sheila Dobbie

 The news is most upsetting today. I turn on the computer to learn that the sacred horoscope has been changed. How can this happen?

The horoscope dates back centuries to the ancient Babylonians who thought the position of stars ruled our lives. Now, some smart aleck professor from Minnesota says it is all wrong. I have lived my whole life as an Aries and now I’m a Pisces. As an Aries at the beginning of the zodiac calendar I have always been proud to lead the pack. I am told I’m strong and a leader. My horoscope even said my favorite color is red and I like hats. How did they know?

Now, I must readjust my thinking to picture myself as a Pisces at the end of the zodiac calendar. All I know about Pisces is that they are cold, wet fish. I’d rather be a ram.
