The stars don't need trained professionals to read them. Fate has been moving since before humans appeared in this world and it will work its wonders after we've gone. That's why we like to invite new people to our humble blog to read the weekly horoscopes from a fresh perspective.

One sunny day while walking along the beach en mass, as we in the Zen Ramblings Zodiac Squad are wont to do, we struck up a conversation with a local surfing legend named Dave Burbank, Chill Dave to his friends. We soon discovered that Chill Dave earned his nickname by being the most laid-back person to ever live. Dave takes everything in stride, from the smallest annoyance to the biggest disaster. That's why we were so interested in hearing his take on the week's horoscopes. Sometimes it's nice just to have a relaxed point of view on fate.

One side would say their opponents were "un-American" and then the other would say their opponents were inciting hate. It wasn't a fight so much as a stalemate.

Vladimir Davidovich is the first guest reader to contact us instead of the other way around. He did so through a complicated series of intermediaries, including a carrier pigeon, a masked associate carrying a microfiche and a coded message found on said microfiche. Apparently for the past twenty years Vladimir has been living in Brazil or possibly Thailand, so he was uncertain of whether or not it was safe for him to visit us at the Zen Ramblings office in America. After a fair amount of convincing, Mr. Davidovich decided to have a quick meeting under cover of darkness where he delivered his reading of the week's horoscopes along with a fairly powerful bottle of vodka.
