This would have been my father's 76th. We never gave him enough presents. It got to the point where we tried to institute a compensatory summer half-birthday called Dad's Day (he dismissed Father's Day as Hallmark commercialism) but he was uncooperative.

You can disbelieve in (non-random, stable) correspondences between astral relationships and those in people's lives/minds. You can also believe in it, and many, many do. I respect what, say, Crowley was able to do with tarot and what, kaleidoscope-based, random personality-readings in his novels, but in both cases wasn't the person reading a personality basically just a) looking closely at a person they knew and b) using the reading method as a mere excuse to reach past direct observation? Becomes something close to a listing of random adjectives or images and then choosing a few.

Which may be fine, but there must be more honest ways to handle that, in life. Because an awful lot of people don't see it that way.
