Old Horoscope Prediction – 2006 Verification

新年快樂！身體健康！又過了一年，這是去年初在Marie Clair 雜誌copy下來的2006年星座運程。整個2006年都沒有看過這個預測，現在重看。.

Your Life in the Next 12 Months

Finally, you've let go of the need to rescue everyone. Now, you can pay attention to your own well-being and kick habits that keep you from being more physically healthy. （參加了gym，上了一陣Pilates，算不算？不過，依然這麼大食。） You've already taken a major step toward controlling your own future. （去年的New Year resolution的確於年中實現了：做得很勤力很勤力去搏升職。）Luckily, this is your year for making money, now that Jupiter (planet of abundance) has entered Scorpio to stay throughout 2006. In the coming months, you'll continue your personal growth, gaining a new kind of happiness as you become more sure of yourself and your strengths. Before summer arrives you may find yourself in front of a large audience, hoping to persuade or charm them (stage fright won't even be an issue). （沒有啦。）At work, when you encounter an unusual problem others don't know how to solve, take the helm. You'll discover how well leadership suits you!（有lead過一些project，沒有人投訴，不過不失啦。）

Your Love Life

You have the capacity to feel more intensely than any other sign. When you flirt, and especially when you fall in love, you're at your most vulnerable. But stop letting that frighten you! With so much cosmic energy now focused on Scorpio, you'll develop great rapport with someone fun. (Captain Apollo夠不夠fun？可以很fun，也可以很激氣。) You may already know him ‑- soon you'll be more than friends. （嘩…不過，我那兩個同星座的大學同房沒有發生這個。巧合罷了。）By September, with the moon eclipsed in your House of Love, you'll decide on a forever future together!（只記得那七、八、九月份工作忙得要命。）

What to Change in 2006

This is your year to be completely honest with yourself and clean up your life. Are you in "escapist mode" (overworking, overpartying)? Jupiter, planet of bountiful blessings, is here to help!（沒有逃避啦，大食算不算？）

Your January 2006 Focus

Love

The change you're suddenly facing in a relationship is the best thing that could happen to you! Be sure of your feelings, then proceed with the step you're contemplating. Only then will your next move become clear.（去年一月尾才重遇Captain Apollo，還記得他第一次再見我時便說我有肚腩，同佢好熟呀？甚麼relationship change？）

Work

You have an extraordinary talent under wraps ‑- and a new contact can help you develop an idea. Take a career risk. Your brave move will result in greater security ‑- which is exactly what you need.（甚麼new contact？）

星座與生肖

（星座與生肖運程，純屬娛樂性質，八卦八卦一下。）

跟爹娘拜年，娘親竟然告訴我，今年狗年對我的生肖（不透露，年齡保密！）和星座（天蠍座）都有桃花運。其實，前幾天，女朋友也給我一個有關狗年生肖運程的連結（按此看生肖，按此看星座）。

以下是我的生肖的運程：

肖Ｘ的你今年是『天喜』桃花年，桃花除了代表男女關係外，亦代表交際應酬人緣好，故有桃花接對事業亦有幫助。‧‧‧相秋、冬出生的你，今年極有可能迴光反照，尤其在春、夏之間，如有好機會不妨一試。總體而言，肖Ｘ的你今年不會太差，大多數人都能平穩而進。

星座又說甚麼呢？

愛情運不俗，已有愛侶者感情發展理想，雙方可互吐心事；單身貴族將會桃花處處，令你有透不過氣的感覺，但如遇到喜歡的，不妨向對方表示。

桃花運？！今年有桃花不要緊，只要不阻礙我逗利是，那多多桃花都受。現時，桃花指數是零！要由零到一年內結婚，機率不高，那我的桃花運要很強勁囉。換而言之，返完香港，逗完利是再算。哈哈哈，那是不是與命運作對？自己也認為自己是貪錢妹。

Old Horoscope Prediction - 2005 Verification

Here is the 2005 horoscope prediction from Marie Claire. I am not a horoscope believer. However, in the past, I have saved the prediction for the year at the beginning of the year without looking at it. At year end, I opened up the predication to see which part came true. Texts in yellow are my comments. Let’s take a look at 2005.

Get What You Want in 2005
How can you find happiness and security?

January at a Glance
As you reexamine a relationship, be firm about what you know is true. Consider an offbeat job opportunity, because Mars predicts success.

Love & Sex in 2005
Reinforce what you've come to believe about your own worthiness. Be bold in bed ‑- this is the year to disclose all your desires, no matter how secret.

Career & Money in 2005
You're a groundbreaking pioneer who is right to say, "I'll do it my way." You will handle your career with far greater control and enlist the help of a powerful ally.

Best Dates
Love & Sex: April 24
Career & Money: December 25
Health & Fitness: January 30

Your Year at a Glance in 2005

January: In a romantic dilemma, you must deal with facts, not wishes. Listen to your heart and apply wisdom as you make a choice.

Well, I did perform some analysis on “Mad Scientist” and determined that “Mad Scientist” was not truthful about his marital status. Busted!

February: You need to remember: Your work is valuable. This will be a lucky month financially, so revise a money arrangement.

My work has always been valuable. What was this all about?! What money?

March: You're both passionate and possessive, but you'd be wise to back off. Love will flow more easily if you stop trying to control.

No clue what this was about. Blah, no chemistry means no-go. Not worth pursuing further.

April: You have an amazing ability to put your finger on the public pulse. Believe in this unique skill and go after a project that will truly excite you.

This did not happen.

May: You'll be tested in a new professional arena. Show your tenacious side and tap into your talent for gaining new supporters.

This might refer to me solving a puzzle at work.

June: Ignore a lover's mixed messages and look with your heart beyond his surface. It'll be a second chance to get passionately involved.

No lover. Hence, did not happen. There was a “Mixed Signal” guy but it was not this month and he is not a lover.

July: A lover will need you to be the steadfast one. Let him lean on you for strength, because the favor will be returned soon enough.

No lover. Hence, did not happen. Technically, that was an old flame, not a lover. We have venting sessions now and then anyway.

August: An opportunity for career advancement will arrive. Your good reputation will be growing, but to go further, think on an even larger scale.

Of course my good reputation was growing. No doubt.

September: You'll be contemplating a new chapter in a love relationship, perhaps even pondering a permanent commitment. Take it slow.

What love relationship?

October: Hold on ‑- this storm will pass. As you face difficulty on the job, you'll carry within you the certainty that you're going to prevail.

We encountered some challenges, and we prevailed. We covered all bases. It was not only me. Well, there was someone who talked back at me often this month. Facts are facts. There is no other way. I prevailed. Ha ha.

November: Your talent will attract the attention of a higher-up. Be aware of a behind-the-scenes control issue, however, and don't play politics.

No clue what this was about. My work was recognized by someone months back.

December: Let go of memories that shadow you. This powerful emotional cycle will mean a romance today can transform your life tomorrow.

No romance!

Your Best Stress-Busters for 2005

Vulnerability feels dangerous for a Scorpio. That explains why, professionally and romantically, winging it is so uncomfortable. Your instinct to control kicks in ‑- however, do you recognize how little you can truly control by getting so overinvolved in other people's dramas? When you play a "savior" role, you actually lose yourself, which doesn't help anyone. A new approach for you: Take a deep breath (or 10) and quit trying to fix others' lives. Let their destinies unfold, and then yours can, too ‑- much more smoothly!

Hmmmm… Well, I mentioned things once and then let go. Does that count?

What's in Store for Your Scorpio Guy?

This is his lucky year for travel and communication. After many stops and starts, he'll pursue work that engages his complex, unconventional mind. His romantic instincts are healthier, so he'll be better at recognizing bad choices before they lead to heartache.

What Scorpio Guy?!

Old Horoscope Predictions

Today is Chinese New Year, the Year of the Rooster. Chinese pay a lot of attention to Chinese horoscope fortune telling for the upcoming year. Even though I went to a Baptist school, my classmates and I talked about horoscopes. However, Chinese horoscopes were not as popular as Western horoscopes. A friend once brought up an excellent point. All my classmates were in the same age group. Chinese zodiacs go by years, yet it is impossible that all of us have the same forecast. Western zodiacs go by months. Therefore, Western horoscopes were more popular back then.

For these reasons in addition to hiding my age, I will discuss Western signs. I am not a big fan of following the forecasts. However, I’d rather look back to see if the predictions were accurate. At least, it seems to be more scientific. I hope I will not be punished for this. I have been looking for old predictions, but it is hard to find. Is it possible that the astrologers do not want their readers to verify their accuracies? I finally found 2003 and 2004 Scorpio forecasts from the Marie Claire magazine website.

2003 Verification

WHAT 2003 HOLDS FOR YOU
• You're an intense person who operates with a partially hidden agenda. Recently, you've moved through change and closure, and you've accepted hard truths about what you can't control -- especially relationships. You've become more self-aware because you know now that you were the cause of some of your latest problems. This is actually a good thing, because you've also realized that you can fix your own glitches. The result? You're now carving out a different lifestyle that gives you autonomy and financial rewards. By late winter, you'll get away from know-it-all characters who know very little and seize control of a department, business or creative endeavor. This is a year of ownership -- you'll make a financial commitment to a place that gives you a haven in which to live or vacation.

• YOUR LOVE LIFE: Because you are a sensitive person, dealing with the end of a love affair is like suffering a kind of death. Scorpio is the sign of transformation, and your destiny is to live through deaths and renewals. These are events through which you'll emerge wiser and more capable of giving yourself. The promise of 2003 is built on the hardship you've recently experienced. Your plot will take a happy new twist when you find yourself involved with a leading man who'll keep you safe and give you space. You'll feel powerful and magnetic, and your confidence will infuse other parts of your life. As spring becomes summer, you'll find material success together, possibly from a shared investment or business. The best thing is that you'll finally give your trust.


Well, the first paragraph is somewhat accurate. I am always looking to improve my lifestyle. Home purchase once crossed my mind, but I did not buy anything. Leading man, what leading man?

2004 Verification

WHAT 2004 HOLDS FOR YOU
Every aspect of your life seems to be in flux, but don't be discouraged. Of course, each bump in the road has sent you spinning, and the fact that you're not in control of certain factors drives you crazy. Other people -- most of whom are undependable -- are calling the shots, so you feel as if you have one hand tied behind your back. But you'll soon get out of a situation that's been an uncomfortable fit -- and realize that what others call your peculiarities are actually your passport to success. Now, you can start a project that builds on your willpower and perfectionism and takes them far beyond your current environment. As you use your fabulous people instincts and utilize the talents of others, you'll feel like a stage director pulling together different components of a theatrical production. Through it all, you'll discover how smart you are.

YOUR LOVE LIFE
It's been said that Scorpios are obsessive about love, but everyone should be as intensely committed as you are. In relationships, you require total honesty, passion, profound sexual intimacy -- you need a soul mate. By definition, however, soul mates are cosmically destined, and therefore arrive infrequently. Failed relationships have scarred your heart. When you love, you invest so much that you're terrified of rejection. But as you begin 2004, you're finally ready to stop feeling powerless. Your timing is brilliant, because this is a lucky year for love. The cosmos points to someone entering your life (if he is not already there) with whom you share a destiny. Because you'll reveal your deepest feelings to him, you two will forge a truly intimate bond. Together, you'll build a safe and secure emotional home.


I have no clue what the first paragraph is about. 2004 was a lucky year for love? Someone entered my life last year? Well, to whom is the prediction referring?
