星座

最近在拼图专卖店看见几个星座拼图，图画精美，尤其有夜光效果的拼图，星星在暗中闪闪发亮，当然不能完全取代在海边看夜空星光闪烁的感觉，但也可以稍微安慰在灯火灿烂的城市里，风干了睁得再大的眼睛，也看不见一颗星的遗憾。
很喜欢那些关于星象的设计或图画，很多不但很美而且很有神秘感。我和外子买过一套塔罗牌，附带一本说明书，我俩对塔罗牌占星术没有兴趣，吸引我们购买的原因是它的平面和字体的设计，设计的人是Dave MacKean,他的创作范围包括小说和漫画封面，摄影，光碟封套设计，尤其是漫画SANDMAN封面设计，常用重叠的方式，显示出梦境般的画面，不过他的设计有时挺诡异的。这套塔罗牌的设计也是采取这种重叠方式，取材再加上摄影技巧和电脑效果加工，效果幽深神秘，只是我和外子到现在还不清除那封套上用来做成螺旋状的东西是什么，看来看去像异形的手指。
虽然爱收集一些星象的物件，但对占星术的灵验还是抱着半信半疑的观望态度，尤其对报章杂志上的星象预测更觉可笑，不外都是避免和家人朋友同事口角，会认识新朋友，有新挑战，情绪低落等等等，总之随便说说，任何一个星象都有人说中。
曾 经有朋友根据我的星座和喜欢的颜色，形状，拈牌算我的生日日期和时间还有岁数，除了时间差半个小时以外，其他都很准确，可是我还是觉得那是凑巧，因为后来 她算出来我的丈夫会比我年长四岁，从事财经方面的工作，会在我二十九生第一个孩子，全都不准确，反而外子小我一年，从事文案工作， 可是我当时三十一还没生孩子。还好这朋友 不是开档找吃的，否则要饿坏了。
有 人很相信星座的性格，与其说相信各星座个别的性格，不如说相信星象对他们的性格所作的美化，尤其读娱乐新闻， 通常记者会问受访的演员或歌手，尤其台湾的艺人，关于他或她们的个性，他或她们认为自己是个什么性格的人，见过的几个答案都和星象有关系，比如说：「我是 天平座的，我就像天平座个性那样，喜欢一切美好的东西，对爱情我是很执着的类型，我事事追求完美，我对事情的看法都比较公平…」，「我的性格是典型的双子座，动如脱兔静如处子，我可以玩得很疯，可是我也有很文静的时候…」，「我的姐姐和妹妹都长得不错，可是我们小时候很多人还是喜欢和我玩，我也不是特别可爱，后来我看到说天蝎座的人是十二个星座中最有魅力的一个，我想大概是因为这个原因罢…」全都是在自说自话，水仙花的倒影顾镜自恋，
在 珠子店工作时也曾听见很多前来购买星座链坠的顾客这么说，少年占多数。改口闭口星座说我是什么什么性格，好像自己本身就没有什么个性，得用星座来给自己做 个注解，又或者本来自己就是那样的性格，可是就这样说出来好像很吹嘘的样子，借助了星座性格的说法，就很理所当然我就是这样的性格。
见过一位女学生，听见说自己的星座守护神是爱神维那斯，是一位掌管爱和美的女神，觉得很有光辉的样子，后来看见文艺复兴时期的维那斯画像，大感失望，为什么维那斯这么肥肥的，后来都不想再提起她所属的星座了。
杀人犯就是杀人犯，难道他还会为了自己是处女座，而把尸解后的肢体逐块过磅，肯定每块都一样磅数，够完美才包装弃尸吗？无聊。

Read Dr. Liew’s “socks” remind me a story about a couple and a pair of torn stocking:
6 years ago, I was working in a bead shop in One Utama.
The shop besides selling all sorts of beads, also different type of string.
Some people will want us to design the accessory for them, some prefer to DIY.
Usually […]
