Horoscopes for Philosophy Graduate Students
|
||
By Lije
|
||
Aries (March 21--April 19)
|
||
Emphasis on work, deadlines. Now would be a good time
|
||
to do more reading. Drinking more than 7 cups of coffee today
|
||
probably not a good idea. Be trenchant!
|
||
|
||
Taurus (April 20--May 20)
|
||
Carefully check the premises and inferences of your latest
|
||
argument. Don't neglect your foreign languages.
|
||
Do more work on your papers or your thesis.
|
||
|
||
Gemini (May 21--June 20)
|
||
You'll find yourself fantasizing about leaving grad
|
||
school and becoming a carpenter, or even a lawyer.
|
||
You're behind schedule. Today would be a good
|
||
day to try to get more work done.
|
||
|
||
Cancer (June 21--July 22)
|
||
Your arguments are subtly flawed, and everything you're
|
||
doing is worthless. Today would be a good day to get more work done.
|
||
Dead philosopher plays role.
|
||
|
||
Leo (July 23--Aug. 22)
|
||
Beware of sectionees' sexual harassment grievances. Today would be a good
|
||
day to suck up to a professor. Job market fears figure prominently.
|
||
Get back to work!
|
||
|
||
Virgo (Aug. 23--Sept. 22)
|
||
Emphasis on thesis, work, classes, incompletes, procrastination.
|
||
Depression not at all inappropriate at this time.
|
||
Stress careful exegesis and critical assessment of texts.
|
||
Libra native finds devasting objection to your best argument.
|
||
|
||
Libra (Sept. 23--Oct. 22)
|
||
Don't bother preparing for section, you can wing it anyway.
|
||
Hours will be wasted gossiping in lounge.
|
||
Lunar aspect highlights unfinished books.
|
||
|
||
Scorpio (Oct. 23--Nov. 21)
|
||
Problems in love relationship due to being philosophy grad student.
|
||
Adopt air of bored sophistication.
|
||
Grade term papers! Leo native begs question.
|
||
|
||
Sagittarius (Nov. 22--Dec. 21)
|
||
Green light flashes for trying to get more work done.
|
||
Member of opposite sex annoyed by focus on work.
|
||
Career prospects unpromising. Cancer would be better.
|
||
|
||
Capricorn (Dec. 22--Jan. 19)
|
||
Deep-seated confusion pervades your philosophical views.
|
||
Careful attention to Wittgenstein may induce writing
|
||
block. Spread rumors about who's getting jobs where.
|
||
Requirements figure prominently.
|
||
|
||
Aquarius (Jan. 20--Feb. 18)
|
||
Thesis looms, considerations from seemingly distant areas of philosophy
|
||
relevant. A little hand-waving goes a long way. Back up your discs!
|
||
Moon in Gemini means this time, like all other times, is inauspicious.
|
||
|
||
Pisces (Feb. 19--March 20)
|
||
Now is time to `go meta', question what you're doing and
|
||
why you're doing it. Undermine philosophical motivations,
|
||
theories. Regress threatens.
|
||
Study Cancer message for valuable clue.
