We’re constantly talking about astrology and asking random people what their signs are (we can’t help ourselves!), and one thing we hear all the time is “I don’t feel like a typical [insert sign here].” Obviously astrology is just one part of the personality puzzle, and tons of factors–upbringing, birth order, culture, life experiences, etc.–affect us. It’s pretty rare to identify 100% with every description of your zodiac sign, but we thought it might be helpful to break down some of the most common reasons people don’t feel like they match up with their sign. Read on to get the scoop! Keep reading »

Your Friskyscopes For The Week Of March 25-31, 2013
Aries (March 21-April 19): The one things no one expects from you is humility, so if you flash a little of it now, you could surprise onlookers. Of course, you are a bad girl to the bone, but sometimes rebelling just for the sake of theatrics is a bad choice. This week, aim for the middle and you won’t miss, as peace of mind for everyone won’t come across as conformity, but as a gift.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): There are a lot of reasons you will be feeling glum this week, but you can’t be so hard on yourself. Sure, the road ahead still seems long and without many breaks in the near future, but who cares? Such is life, and so is this moment. Celebrate what you have accomplished and to hell with the future. Turn it out now, as that is all you’ve got. Keep reading »

Your Friskyscopes For The Week Of March 18-24, 2013
Aries (March 21-April 19): Your moodiness will hit an all time crazy, soaring high, then slamming you down and then flying you out into a new direction. You’ll be vibrating such a wacky energy, people will wonder what you’re cooking in your basement, but be too polite to ask. Of course, to know you is to love you, so do take notice of those running for cover.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Whoever said you were slow obviously didn’t have the patience for your thorough decision-making or the stamina to keep up. So, screw them. This is not the time to let critiques get to you, because it’ll be about the person spewing the judgments, not you. For some, putting you down is the only way they feel they can get a leg up. Lame.

Your Friskyscopes For The Week Of March 4-10, 2013
Pisces (February 20-March 20): You’ll be in the thick of things, in terms of your emotions and all round dealings with life. This will force your hand into a major overhaul and you’ll have to make some concessions. You get that the world isn’t waiting to give you a fairytale moment; so instead, you’re going to have to seize it. After all, the key to success in battle is good timing, so know this is yours now.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Fall back on your experience. You have been through enough trials and tribulations to know how to make hard decisions. Forget the drama and just take that breath before moving on to something that you know your talents can shine in. However, know that you also will have to sacrifice something to get there too. This isn’t the time to have it all, but trust it’s getting closer. Keep reading »
