You know it.

I still look for patterns, signs and symbols.
I still miss their significance on my life.

And I love TV shows where fictional characters have real visions/ insights/ unexplained jumps of logic.
But I've met three "journalists" who were called on to make up horoscopes at short notice. It made me sad.

In a Douglas Adams book, or Terry Pratchett, or even Kate Atkinson, the spin would be that a harried sports journo made up a horoscope which then came true and changed the life of one central character, influencing others around them in ways that could not possibly have been predicted.

In fact, in very different ways, that is what those three write (wrote) about. Weaving the thread of individual lives into something that can be looked back on as a cohesive past. Or future.
