e you ever wondered what your fortune or luck would be like in the coming days, weeks, or months? Whether you believe in astrology or not, it is always fun and interesting to hear what a foreigner may have to say about your future destiny. In different cultures, fortune-telling or divination is practiced in various ways. Some people prefer to read horoscopes, while others consult Tarot cards, or have their palms or tea leaves read by professional fortune-tellers. In the Western world, astrology is one of the most popular forms of divination. According to astrologers, the position of the planets on the day you were born can influence your personality, your strengths and weaknesses, and your future destiny. Astrology divides the zodiac into 12 equal signs, each of which corresponds to a different month of the year, and attributes different qualities and traits to each sign. As an American living in China, I have had the opportunity to talk with many Chinese people who are interested in astrology and eager to know what their future holds. In my experience, many Chinese people are science-minded and skeptical of superstition, but still find astrology to be fascinating and entertaining. When discussing astrology with Chinese friends, I explain that in the West, many people believe that their zodiac sign can determine their compatibility with others, their career path, and their destiny in life. For example, a Leo might be charismatic and bold, while a Virgo might be analytical and detail-oriented. I often reassure my Chinese friends that astrology is not a science, and should not be taken too seriously. However, I do enjoy reading my horoscope from time to time and finding amusement in the predictions. Whether it's telling me to expect a promotion at work or warning me of a potential financial setback, I find it fun to see what the stars have in store for me. Ultimately, whether you believe in astrology or not, it is always interesting to hear what a foreigner may have to say about your fortune. Who knows, you might just discover something about yourself that you never realized before!
