Finding an Accurate Horoscope

Its easy to find an accurate horoscope on the internet. All you have to do is find the site with the most vague, general, open-ended prognostications. Then at least some of them are bound to come true.
This is the problem with horoscopes, and fortune telling in general. The more specific the predictions get, the less likely they are to come true......

Let me give you an example. Im a proud Leo. So I do a quick Google search and find a site which claims to offer the most accurate horoscope on the web. I check out the week ahead for Leo. It tells me: You will experience frustration at the workplace. A project does not go according to plan. In love, you will feel satisfied and fulfilled with your situation. Look for some surprise good fortune, possibly related to finances, late in the week.?
As my week progresses, Im finding my horoscope to be eerily accurate! At work, a deal with a client falls through ?just as my horoscope said; things did not go according to plan and I feel frustrated. My long-term boyfriend and I are enjoying a period of happiness with no conflict or issues, therefore the part about my love life being satisfying has proved to be true. Now my increasingly accurate horoscope has promised financial good fortune, and look! On Friday I buy a lottery ticket and win five dollars. I have just found the most accurate horoscope in the world!
Of course, about one twelfth of people in the world are Leos like me. Did they all have the exact same week I had? That seems impossible. But when I examine that supposedly accurate horoscope a little more carefully, it occurs to me that almost anyone could make the events of her life conform to those predictions.
I mean, what if the deal at work had gone through as planned? Maybe another lioness, working at another office, went to make herself some coffee and found that the office was out of milk and cream? Frustrating! Not going according to plan! So far, so accurate. This hypothetical other Leo doesnt have a boyfriend. Shes not even dating. But when she looks at the so-called accurate horoscope, she can honestly say, Why yes, I am satisfied and fulfilled with my situation. I love being single!?Later in the week, her surprise good fortune could come in any number of forms. Anything positive that happens to her from Wednesday through Saturday can make that prediction turn out to be true.
The truth is that almost any prediction can seem accurate, if it is unspecific enough. In that sense, an accurate horoscope is a very easy thing to find.

The right accessory handbag can change your life. I know this from personal experience.
My mother used to keep boxes and boxes of old stuff in her closet. Im not joking ?not even exaggerating. There was a whole section of her walk-in closet occupied by boxes of fashion relics dating back to the era of love-ins and Volkswagen buses. In truth, this collection was a treasure trove of abandoned designer duds, just waiting to come back into style. And thats how I discovered the little Gucci handbag.
I was in college at the time. I couldnt afford an expensive accessory handbag. I carried everything around in a rucksack, even when I went out in the evening. My only concern when it came to bags was functionality. How little did I know!
My mothers lovely little Gucci purse was a clutch handbag dating to the late 1970s. It was covered with the characteristic Gucci insignia, the two little interlocking Gs. And it had a green and red stripe of ribbon around the middle. Anyone who knows about handbag accessories would recognize it for what it was: pure vintage, and really cute. A similar pocketbook selling at a vintage store would have cost a few hundred dollars at least. And I got this lovely little accessory handbag for free, from a mom whose closet was so overstuffed, she had forgotten she even owned the thing.
Once I started carrying around the Gucci clutch purse, I discovered something amazing. Even the most ordinary outfit turned into a fashion statement when I carried my vintage Gucci bag. I could wear a ten dollar tee shirt and ratty old pair of jeans with sneakers, but if I carried my favorite accessory handbag, suddenly it looked chic instead of sloppy. I could convince myself that I didnt look like a lazy, poor college student, but rather a hip and edgy fashion maven. If I could afford an accessory handbag like that, and if I was savvy enough to go vintage, then I must know what Im doing. Anyway, that was the logic in my mind.
Truth be told, I was largely right, and I follow that simple fashion principle to this day. I dont bother filling my wardrobe with pricey designer clothes. I dont need to keep wasting money on the latest sartorial trends, knowing they will fall out of style in a matter of weeks or months. Instead, I save up my money and invest in a really fabulous accessory handbag every once in a while ?preferably a gorgeous, vintage designer bag. I pair it with everything from elegant eveningwear to sweats. And I always look like I know what Im doing.
No exercise or health regimen is compete if it does not include adequate aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise is any activity which raises the heart rate and speeds up breathing, thus delivering more oxygen to the body. It is often also referred to as cardiovascular exercise or cardio.?Generally speaking, aerobic workouts involve large muscle groups engaged in rhythmic movements.
Recent medical research has confirmed the importance of aerobic exercise. Regular cardiovascular workouts have been shown to increase good cholesterol and decrease bad cholesterol. Aerobic exercise is also associated with a longer lifespan. It is effective in combating depression and even dementia in seniors. And of course, aerobic exercise is crucial for losing weight and maintaining weight loss.
There are nearly an infinite number of options for aerobic workouts. Any activity which gets you breathing heavy and makes your heart beat fast can qualify. This might include jogging/running, biking, playing soccer, swimming, dancing, jumping rope, and many more activities. There is no need to stick to one particular form of aerobic exercise either; a varied workout regimen is more likely to work a wider variety of muscles and muscle groups, and is often easier to stick with.
Physicians and trainers do recommend certain guidelines when performing an aerobic exercise workout. Any cardio routine should start with about ten minutes of warm-up, followed by 20 minutes of high intensity aerobic exercise, and then ten minutes of warm-down. The warm-up and warm-down are crucial and should never be skipped. Going straight from cold?muscles at rest to high intensity exercise is too stressful on the body and can lead to muscle strains and pulls. Similarly, ending a workout without a warm-down can lead to stiffness and soreness.
During the twenty minutes of heavy aerobic exercise, ideally the heart rate should reach around 160 beats per minute. This will vary somewhat depending on age and overall physical condition. Generally speaking, older individuals should seek a lower target heart rate of 150 or 140 beats per minute. Do not overdo aerobic exercise. For many people, a brisk half hour walk has sufficient health benefits, and no more vigorous exercise is nevessary.
Do not neglect to stretch after any aerobic workout. Aerobic exercise delivers blood to the muscle tissue. So-called warm?muscles should be stretched after dynamic exercise to ensure suppleness and prevent muscle stiffness.
With a regular routine of calisthenics, stretching and aerobic exercise, any person can enjoy a long life of fitness and health.
