Sketches from Seasonal Reality... Horoscopes

Horoscopes...

7-1-2018 After I had dinner with the family on New Year’s Eve night... and stayed up to listen to the horoscopes... the horoscopes of people in which several names are mentioned, such as Carmen and Maguy (not the Maggi soup we know), and the horoscopes of rulers and their countries which are usually delivered by Michel Hayek... and I said to myself let us indulge a little and get away from following bitter politics and the experts’ forecasts and their leaks that our fate as peoples is not well and it seems to be the result of the horoscopes of their rulers... let us indulge with disclosure about what will come in the coming year 2018 for those born under the signs, and I listened to what one of them says of stories, especially since we follow the horoscopes into which Jupiter enters and from which Saturn exits... the ill-famed one, according to what they say... and I prayed inwardly that God would let Jupiter enter the signs of our rulers... and I said to myself, listen to us, what is in the sign of Pisces this year (which is my sign according to the astrological classification), so they said that Saturn left your sign on 20-12-2017, after years of hardships and setbacks, and Jupiter entered your sign, so starting from 21-12-2017 until the end of the year 2018, you are radiant and will enjoy a flow of money and blessings... this regarding money, while regarding affection (as the forecasters touch on two aspects: money and affection) one of them said that you are approaching marriage... there is no power nor strength except with God... and I thanked God that my wife Umm al-Hasan was preparing a cake for us to enjoy with a cup of tea, otherwise I would have struck out in my quarrel.... and I went to sixty disasters (and I do not know why the number sixty), and I said may God complete this night well... and then we listened to the rest of the horoscopes, not fully, due to my wife’s presence with the cake, and she warned us to turn off the television and that there is no need for these absurdities, “what is written by God will happen”... and I said to her, objecting positively, Umm al-Hasan, do you believe that we accept these only to get away from following bitter political news and what will happen after all this struggle and struggle whether peaceful or armed... from the year of my birth 1948 which is the year of our Nakba until the present moment when Trump’s sign came to enter and surely carried Saturn on his shoulder and threw it onto the signs of the region... and I told her let us just follow how the horoscopes of countries and rulers are animated by Michel Hayek... and of course it began with the sign of Lebanon, and it made a detour to the signs of most of the region surrounding Israel... and behold, God protect us, the signs of vast evil and that positions and vision are foggy but transformations occur... deep ones... after battles and wars and the fall of missiles... and coups... so I said to myself is what you are talking about true, but I saw that our newspapers allocate columns to these horoscopes, and I heard that one of the French presidents in the recent past surrounds himself with a fortune-teller and consults her on visions of future events.... and... and..

.And may you be well every year..
