Armond: I hope that this new year will bring
me better luck.
Patricia: You can find that out easily enough.
My astrologer says...
Armond: Hold on. You consult an
astrologer? You really believe in that
nonsense?
Patricia: It’s not nonsense and, yes, I believe in
it. I like getting predictions about
the future and knowing what is
in the stars for me.
Armond: Astrologers are charlatans
and what they tell their customers is
phony. They make it all
up and tell people what they want to hear.
Patricia: I don’t know how you can say that.
The horoscope for my sign
each day gives me warnings and
helps me avoid mistakes. And when I have big
decisions to make, I go for a reading.
The guidance I get is
invaluable.
Armond: You’re too smart to be taken
in by con artists who style
themselves as
mystics. It’s all smoke and
mirrors.
Patricia: You’re wrong. I’ll give you an
example. My horoscope today said that an
unpleasant person will try to
shake my beliefs. It said I should just
walk away.
Armond: Hey, where are you going?
