Description:

Send your partner a naked handmade postcard. On the back, write a horoscope for them. It can be totally made up. I'm sure some of us have read up on astrology...but some of us are good at making stuff up and this is what this swap is about. The front (image side) of your postcard should be hand made. However, this is just for fun and does not have to be a work of art. Cut and paste, as long as it meets legal guidelines, is fine. Masterful artistry: also fine, but only if you feel like it. The front image or design must relate to astrology in some way and incorporate a reference to your partner's astrological sign.

After your sign up, comment with your astrological sign.

Example message (on your postcard's back): "Leo: Today, watch out for your co workers. You think they hate you. Well, you might be right this time. Tonight: your friends are planning an intervention regarding your habit of playing "Naughty Truth or Dare." Duck them by visiting your mother who loves you."

Questions? Ask away in the Swap Comments!

This is for fun and to get to know one another! Just try to have fun, and have a sense of humor!

I am a scorpio! Also, this is a wonderful, hilarious Swap, cannot wait!!!! If you need inspiration, look up Weird Al Yankovic's "Your Horoscope for Today" Song

Leo.

Thank you @kpatricialee !!!

Libra

great idea. :) Question: Does that mean we sent the postcard just as it is and not in an envelope? Because if possible - could my swap partner please send it in an envelope? I've found that postcards that are special and nice, etc. tend to get "lost" when they're send just as they are to me. :(

egalite 03/14/2011 #

Oh yes, @naurwen You are free to request that. Whether they do it or not will not be part of the criteria for rating them.

Don't know if I can join or not yet, but great idea!

Yay! Pisces here. ^_^

tinkerbella 03/17/2011 #

leo, and a very typical one if that helps any?

Another Pisces here. While I applaud your clever idea, egalité, I feel very emotional about this swap, as if my heart were being tossed about by turbulent seas. But I'm so famously creative, I just have to join it, don't I? However, I warn all of you that I've been known to be very irrational when it comes to homebaked cookies. If I'm your partner, be aware that one moment I'll be all sweetness & light, and the next moment I'll be quoting Sylvia Plath to your face.

Isn't it wild that all this weirdness comes simply from being born in late February? As I like to put it, "Truth is stranger than fact." =splash!=

No disrespect intended at astrology. Like many things, I think It is fascinating and I'm not very well educated in it.

FiWebster 03/18/2011 #

Oh egalité, did my comment not blatantly register as a joke? I, was attempting (however ineptly) to be very disrespectful toward astrology--as in, mocking the hell out of the usual writeup for Pisces. =laugh= I think astrology deserves a whole gamut of reactions. As we all know, some people writing under the banner of astrology are seriously lame.

I get it now! Rock on, @melusina I have a bad habit of going online during my lunch hour and reading all things internet very very quickly.

Hahaha. If there's one thing I like more than horoscopes, it's a fictional horoscope. Count this Libra in!

I love this idea for a swap, another crazy, misunderstood, emotional Pisces here. I'm off for a good cry now, I'm feeling the need for some chemical stimulants just before I write a suicide note or two! Hehe.

I'm in - I'm a Capricorn, so you know -- down to earth, penny-pinching, serious ... borrrrrrrrring. Try not to write anything too whimsical for me, my heart might not be able to take it. ;)

Crabby cancer for me
