It seems to me that you have a strong need to identify patterns (therefore apt that you had a reply from the previously pseudonymed Apophenia) so when the horoscope/fortune cookie scenario happens, it triggers your wonder. That's not a problem, it just means that your imagination and intellect are still operating properly
