FTV Monopoly Astrology
FROM THE VAULT
I did a little research on whether zodiac signs should be capitalized or not, but figuring it out required way too much reading for a blog I am not getting paid to write. For now I'm going to capitalize.
I have always been really interested in the science of personality (yes, I'm calling it a science) and that includes astrology. While I don't believe in the daily horoscopes - I've been burned too many times by the lack of a promised "exciting new love interest" - I do think that our zodiac signs can influence our personalities and dispositions.
I also think that the way we choose to represent ourselves says a lot about us. I always choose to be black in checkers, I opt for the yellow in a traditional board game, in Jackbox Games's Tee K.O. I am the snake, and I'm not sure exactly what that says about me but I bet it does say something.
You might be embarrassed by it, you might even lie about it, but I'm willing to bet you all know your zodiac signs. Does anyone else remember a few years ago when some of the zodiac signs shifted by a few dates? I realize that this did not affect most people, but I couldn't help but observe that there had to be at least one person who had "Aries" tattooed on their body, and now they're a Taurus. Think before you ink people!
Anyways, I've always thought it was a bit much to claim that your birth month can really indicate romantic compatibility. To prove my point...Kelly Clarkson and Hitler are born in the same month. Also born in the same month? Ronald Reagan and Paris Hilton. I rest my case. Of course now I know that the signs generally switch around the 20th and that a September Libra is WAY different than an October Libra.
*DISCLAIMER: You should under no circumstances mate with anyone who always wants to be the banker. These people are obviously very controlling, over finances in particular. Their relationships typically end in divorce or bankruptcy, whichever comes first. Remember that I am unqualified to make this assertion.

So I came to the rescue, as usual, and created a fool-proof way to really see who you are compatible with because let's face it, I know what y'all are really using your horoscopes for. This patented method, known as Monopology, will match you with a partner based on what Monopoly pieces you both like to play as. You're welcome. I'll say it now, this idea has more legs than a Cancer. Which is a crab. So that's 10 legs. The applications are endless. First monopoly, then Mario Kart.
Wheelbarrow
