What Astrology Reveals About You

Based on your zodiac sign.

What is astrology?

The word astrology combines the roots Astro- and -ology. It is a greek word which means 'knowledge or "science", translating to knowledge of the stars. However, there is a difference between astronomy and astrology. Moreover, Astronomy is a science while Astrology is fortune telling.

"According to astrology, the period of the year which each sign of the zodiac dominates is determined by the time in which the Sun is "in" its corresponding constellation. "

Therefore, unfortunately, as fun as it sounds, it is not actually possible to observe a zodiacal constellation in the night sky during the time its sign is dominant. So, you're probably thinking, when can I see my zodiacal constellation? You can look for your constellation in the exact opposite time of the year of it's dominance.

Is your birthdate on a cusp?

to be born on a cusp means you were born on the first or last day of a Sun sign. Moreover, you will relate and benefit from reading both your own sun sign as well as the Sun sign that precedes or follows your date of birth. In other words, it is likely that you would likely have traits from the two zodiac signs that connect at your birthdate.

8 Things That Anyone Who Went To A Small School Knows

Sometimes bigger isn't always better.

Essex County, NJ

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

12 Most Annoying Things About Working In Sales

No, I can't help you.

Oakland University

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

16 Things Blondes Are Tired Of Hearing

Please hold your blonde joke.

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
