Well, hey there, y’all! Let’s talk about this here… uh… calendar zodiac thingamajig. Don’t know much about fancy city folks’ stuff, but I heard it’s got somethin’ to do with when you’re born and what kind of luck you got.
So, they say there’s this zodiac calendar. Sounds complicated, but it ain’t, not really. It’s like… a big ol’ circle, and they chopped it up into twelve pieces, like a pie. Each piece is a “sign,” they call it. And each sign has a name, like Aries, Taurus, and all them other fancy names.
Now, they tell me this here calendar starts in the spring, when things start growin’ again. That’s when the sun goes into this Aries fella. They say Aries is ruled by Mars, some kinda… fire planet or somethin’. Sounds hot-headed to me!
- Aries is first, and they’re born ’round March 21st to April 19th. They say them Aries folks are like rams, always butting heads.
- Then comes Taurus, I think. They’re like bulls, stubborn as a mule. Don’t remember their dates exactly.
And it goes on and on, all the way through Gemini, Cancer, Leo… Lord, there’s a bunch of ’em! Each one’s got its own time of year and its own special somethin’ or other. They say it tells you about your personality, your luck, who you should marry… Heck, I don’t know if I believe all that, but it’s kinda fun to think about, ain’t it?
They got this thing called a horoscope, too. That’s like… a fortune teller thing, I guess. They look at the stars and planets and tell you what’s gonna happen. Sometimes it’s good stuff, sometimes it’s bad. I reckon it’s like the weather – sometimes it rains, sometimes it shines. You just gotta take it as it comes.
And they talk about planetary stations and retrogrades… Sounds like a train station to me! But it’s about planets movin’ around, I think. And when they move backwards, that’s “retrograde” and things get all mixed up. Sounds like a mess, if you ask me!
Now, I heard tell there’s a new fella they wanna stick in there, called Ophiuchus. Sounds like a snake charmer or somethin’. They been arguin’ about him for a long time, seems like. Some folks say he belongs, some say he don’t. I say, if there’s enough room in that pie, why not let him in? The more the merrier, I always say!
This whole zodiac thing, it’s got somethin’ to do with the Spring Equinox, too. That’s when the days and nights are the same length, and it’s the start of the whole shebang. They say it’s a powerful time, all about new beginnings. Well, I reckon every day is a new beginning, if you look at it right.
They got these astrology calendars that tell you all sorts of stuff – when the moon’s full, when the planets are doin’ their thing… I ain’t got much use for all that, myself. I just look at the sky and see if it’s gonna rain. That’s the only calendar I need!
But, you know, city folks got their ways, and we got ours. If they wanna look at the stars to figure out their lives, well, that’s their business. Me? I just get up in the mornin’, do my chores, and thank the good Lord for another day. And that’s good enough for me.
So, that’s what I know ‘bout this here calendar zodiac stuff. Probably ain’t much, but it’s all I got. Maybe you city folks can make more sense of it than I can. But hey, at least I tried, right?
And remember, no matter what the stars say, you make your own luck in this life. Hard work and a good heart, that’s all you really need.
Zodiac signs by month and date they say… it tells you when the sun goes into each sign. Kinda like how we know when to plant the corn and when to harvest. Nature’s got its own calendar, that’s for sure.
