Fortune-Slip Horoscopes for Your Morning Coffee
Alexander Androv
Translated from the Bulgarian · Късметчета-хороскопи към сутрешното кафе
Sometimes appearances deceive.
Other times they downright disappoint.
***
You have left the iron on,
and it is too late to go back.
The best you can do
is to enjoy the aroma
of your coffee.
***
Luck awaits you. But it doesn't wait long,
so if you have a habit of running late,
an unpleasant surprise awaits you.
***
Money.
And then, "…money goes where money is."
Check whether you have any money.
If you don't, it might be best
to draw another fortune slip.
***
You will visit a fortune-teller.
She will guess everything about you,
but she will lie about some things.
Others she will twist,
and still others she won't mention at all.
Is it worth going?
***
Health and a bad mood.
Perhaps you have decided to quit smoking?
***
A pleasant surprise.
Something unexpectedly good will happen to you.
Check whether you are able to notice it.
Or do you tend to take it for granted
and note only when something bad happens to you?
***
Travel.
You could do it at any time.
Perhaps this slip will help you make up your mind.
***
You will receive news.
Interpret it freely and in a positive light.
What is written will happen anyway.
***
Love.
It is possible for you or for your beloved.
The possibility of it being for both is rarer.
***
Wisdom.
Wisdom awaits you. Sooner or later.
If it comes later, senility usually wins.
