Hey baby, what’s your sign? - Sounds like a pickup line, right? But in this case it is the topic of this week’s Sunday Scribblings, and of course I will take this prompt to analyze how much I confirm the cliché. My starsign is cancer. Strictly speaking I was born on the cusp of gemini and cancer. Apparently this cusp is known as the Cusp of Magic, which sounds all mysterious and … magical. But anyway, back to the crab.

Here are some of the cliché traits of a cancer:

+ Emotional and loving: Check.
+ Shrewd and cautious: Check.
+ Protective and sympathetic: Check.

- Changeable and moody: Check, but isn’t everyone?
- Overemotional and touchy: Check, well sometimes.
- Clinging and unable to let go: Check

So hah, I am a typical cancer, of course alike with all other cancers and one of twelve types of persons in the world. But wait, no, it’s not that simple. I do believe parts of astrology to be true, especially the horoscopes that are made using your time and place of birth as well as your date of birth - because of course there are not only twelve types of people in the world - how boring would that be anyway?

Reading my personality horoscope, many things do apply to me, some do not. Is astrology true? I don’t know. What I do know is that a lot of these things apply to me, that I do seem to have a slight tendency towards fellow water signs when it comes to men that I am attracted to or fall in love with, that daily horoscopes are nonsense, and that I would never let a horoscope guide or influence me or my decisions in any way.
