I’ve been reading a bunch of horoscopes for the new year lately. This is a fantastic time to read them because it’s the beginning of the year and they’re out in abundance. All the major news outlets usually have at least a small blurb on them, and some of the bigger astrology sites will even offer some free detailed reports for the year ahead.
I’m a planner and I love to know what’s going to happen…so I can plan for it! LOL So horoscopes really hit the spot for me in terms of entertainment and gentle guidance. Some people like to dismiss them as some silly frou-frou thing that flakey people like, but I think that’s too harsh of a rap.
I like to think of them as good reminders and guides for daily life. They remind you to appreciate what you have, (or to hold your tongue!) and often offer advice that is good at any time; even if they don’t “come true” at the end of the day. Sometimes they also can inspire hope and positive thinking, which in itself is quite beneficial and can become a self-fulfilling prophesy.
I particularly enjoy reading personal profiles and the weekly, monthly and yearly readings that become available. Some horoscopes are better than others…and some are eerily accurate. I REALLY like those ones! Everyone loves to hear about themselves and I am no exception! So I thought I’d share some of my favourite astrology websites with you.
I don’t have very many since so many places want to charge you an arm and a leg for a simple reading. In theory I could go off and learn how to read the stars on my own, but I just don’t feel like it. I already read tarot/oracle and pendulum and don’t really feel like learning a new technique! I’ve also got some friends who can do readings for me too, if I need it.
So long story short, these sites offer some pretty decent astrology readings at everyone’s favourite price of FREE!
This one is pretty cool. They give you free daily horoscopes (filled with useful anytime advice!) in addition to decent samples of their many reports (love, compatibility, career, health, etc.). You can sign up and input your exact birth information to get very detailed reports that are specific to you and not just your sun sign!
The full reports will cost you, as will the extended daily horoscopes, but I find the shortened versions quite good anyway.
I’ve actually purchased a couple of the more in-depth reports for myself. Just for fun, really, but they do make you think more about things in your life, and can give you some insight into certain issues.
This is a cool site to explore.
This lady whips up some awesome monthly forecasts for free. While they’re not as specific as the Astrodienst ones they’re still pretty good.
I love that they’re long and cover a lot of aspects in your life, plus her writing style is engaging. They include advice, anecdotes and special dates to look out for. I look forward to reading mine every month!
January is supposed to be awesome for me. (I’m a Cap) We’ll see how things pan out!
The classic. I’m pretty sure that everyone has heard of this site before. Nothing too fancy, but it includes your Chinese horoscope plus a numerology reading for the day. I think there’s even a tarot card of the day!
A little on the fluffy side, but it can be a good pick-me-up in the mornings and every once in a while it’s accurate! (only once in a while though…)
Those are my top 3 so far… Plus I read the Globe & Mail and Toronto Star horoscopes every day, as well.
Do you have any websites that you like to get your horoscopes from? Have you ever gotten a spookily-accurate one before?
Share in the comments!
PS…would anyone with divination talents like to give me a free reading?
