It’s Monday again!

.

Horoscope. What an odd word. If you didn’t know better you’d imagine it was a forecast of horrible things that were about to happen! However, it’s the first page I turn to in my newspaper hoping what I’ll actually find is a Hapiscope!

I have a mental checklist of things I look for. 

Luck. I’ve never been a particularly lucky person, so it makes my day if I’m told my luck is about to change!

Money. Am I about to win on the Lotto? Surely, it’s just a matter of time.

Courage. Sometimes I’m told to be brave, bold, to go for it! So go for it I do!

Love and Passion. I’ve had my fair share in the past without much success. If it predicts I’m about to have another shot at it, I admit to feeling a little apprehensive!

Happiness. That’s the most important one for me. It comes, it goes. But if happiness is predicted, my day becomes a happier one even if nothing happy happens!

Having said all that, my horoscope is more often wrong than right!

.

Next I head for the crossword.

One across, star sign predictions, nine letters…..

      A devoted Cancerian always willing to move sideways to avoid clashing with those of other star sign persuasions!

    I was born at the end of one sign and close to the beginning of another so I always pick whichever is better that day )

    Oh, this is fun. Let’s have a look… well, I am Aquarius and I predict: it will be hot, since it’s in the summer here! (oops, I think I looked down to the weather bit).

    Well done, Keith. Great blending of the prompt photos. Love your horoscope graphic and words.

      Thanks Suzette, I have as much fun making graphics as I do writing!

    A wonderful response to both images Keith. You’ve merged them both and created something we all can relate to. Many thanks for joining in.

        Of course, Keith, without saying! It is always a pleasure to read what you write.

    Pisces here, through and through. I wear my heart on my sleeve and my emotions run deep. My character judgement is usually spot on and I can’t tolerate liars. You’ll never find a more loyal friend …. or fierce foe.

    Too bad horoscopes are usually wrong. 😆 My husband is a Cancer as well, and I’m Aquarius. We’re not supposed to get along, but it’s been over 52 years and we’re still married! 😎

    Not something I pay attention to, I admit. Although, there is one column where every sign has from one to five stars next to it, signifying if you will have a difficult (one star), fair (two stars), etc., or up to fabulous (five star) day. I used to simply look at the number of stars next to each and never, ever saw a one star, only on very rare occasion two stars. Thus I concluded no one ever has a truly one or two star day, we must all have good to fabulous days every single day and maybe don’t know it!

      That’s never occured to me! You’ve just promoted me to 5 stars!

    Great read, listen and visual Keith 🙌 you’re a crab like my dear mum .. she was always walking sideways- but I think it was the brandy! I’m Aquarius carrying water (sometimes gin!) 😃

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings January 28, 2026 / 17:20

      Being crab-like makes dancing the waltz quite easy! As for gin, it’s the best tonic!
