It is really hilarious!  <a href=\"http:\/\/matthewastrology.blogspot.com\/2007\/09\/international-excuses-for-bad-behavior.html\">Here&#8217;s his take <\/a>on astrological excuses for bad behavior during the excuse the eclipse: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>ARIES:<\/strong> &#8220;Nothing was happening, so I <em>made it<\/em> happen. Don&#8217;t blame<em> me<\/em> because the barbecue wasn&#8217;t starting fast enough. Besides, your eyebrows will grow back <em>eventually<\/em>&#8230; &#8220;<\/p>\n<p><strong>TAURUS:<\/strong> &#8220;Yes, sweetie, I <em>know<\/em> that was the money for our power bill, but I <em>needed<\/em> that fur-covered vibrating seat cover! And it was <em>on<\/em> <em>sale! Half price<\/em>!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>GEMINI:<\/strong>  &#8220;I know I said I wasn&#8217;t going to do that, but that was yesterday. Okay, okay, it was <em>today<\/em>. But I had to. Now I don&#8217;t. Sorry about that. Mind if I do it again?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>CANCER:<\/strong> &#8220;You were mean to me, so you were asking for it. You&#8217;re an insensitive jerk. I&#8217;m only an insensitive jerk because I have to be. <em>You <\/em>started it!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>LEO:<\/strong> &#8220;Look, I know I have certain responsibilities. I&#8217;m an adult. So if I decide I want to spend the rent money on a pony, I deserve it. Now, feed Mr. Nibbles for me, won&#8217;t you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>VIRGO:<\/strong> &#8220;Don&#8217;t complain about the job <em>I<\/em> did. It&#8217;s not as if <em>you<\/em> were washing the car properly <em>anyway<\/em>, so I re-did it for you. At least it&#8217;s clean now. Besides, you always wanted a convertible, right&#8230;?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>LIBRA:<\/strong>  &#8220;But I thought that&#8217;s how <em>you<\/em> wanted it! I only did it for <em>you<\/em>! Now sit down and stop complaining. Prove your love for me, and eat that raw pork sashimi I made for you before I cry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>SCORPIO:<\/strong> &#8220;Hey, you were the one complaining about the neighbor&#8217;s dog barking all the damned time, so <em>I took care of it<\/em>. You should be thanking me. Now go get me a shovel before this thing starts to stink.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>SAGITTARIUS:<\/strong> &#8220;It&#8217;s the <em>truth<\/em>! And you<em> did<\/em> ask for my opinion. That dress <em>does<\/em> make your ass look fat&#8230; but I <em>love<\/em> your fat ass, babe!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>CAPRICORN:<\/strong> (long, icy silence) &#8220;Hmph. Like <em>you<\/em> could have done better.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>AQUARIUS:<\/strong> &#8220;Yes. Our wedding day should have been the most special occasion of our lives. And it <em>was<\/em>. Me inviting my friends from the outpatient clinic made it even <em>more<\/em> special. Besides, it would have been bad luck to get married without my tinfoil hat, and I left mine at home. If Zoolak hadn&#8217;t loaned me his, the marriage would have been doomed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>PISCES:<\/strong> &#8220;I don&#8217;t see what the problem is. It&#8217;s not like anyone was hurt. That&#8217;s the important thing. The cat <em>needed<\/em> a haircut. And isn&#8217;t Mrs. Mittens just <em>adorable<\/em> with her little Mohawk?&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/matthewastrology.blogspot.com\/\">Pay him a visit<\/a> &#8211; maybe then he&#8217;ll give me a link!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elsa and Neith have both posted on Matthew the Astrologer&#8217;s blog which I just found today.
