I like machines. They’re predictable. They’re logical. There’s always a reason as to why something happens. If something doesn’t work the way you want it to, you just have to spend enough time moving your hands and your mind until you find out why. Then you go back and change it. It’s the practical approach to making everything well again.

That’s why I like astrology. It’s mysterious. It’s fascinating. It’s completely illogical. There’s no reason as to why any of it should make any sense. There is no reason why you should make sense of it. There is no puzzle. No solution. Yet, I find it strangely practical in my daily doings.

Like in motorsport, for example. No two people drive the same way. But many people share strengths, and weaknesses alike. How do I organize their masses so I can approach them practically? Astrology? Er… No. But more often than is sensible I see correlations between a driver’s sign and his driving style. And I can’t help but wonder if I see a real link or two somewhere in that mess.

In the interest of making this worthwhile, I’m going to give each sign its own post. Here we go...

This is the closest I'll ever get to a New Year's Resolution.
