Aries, March 25th.

Sagittarius but since you guys said it can change I could be a Scorpio. I really don't understand that well though.

I'm an early Virgo, except I must be an exception because barely any of these apply to me.

Modest and shy
Meticulous and reliable
Practical and diligent
Intelligent and analytical

On the dark side....
Fussy and a worrier
Overcritical and harsh
Perfectionist and conservative[/b]

All the things that are bolded don't really apply to me. I'm definately NOT shy, I can be practical and diligent but it's not common. Most of the 'dark sides' don't apply either. Hm.

Taurus... though I don't really believe in the whole astrology stuff. Way too vague for my liking...

If anything, I can be quite stubborn, and try to tackle with problems head on... reflects in my dreams, especially if I'm being chased... more often than not, I don't run away in fear, I try to fight back...

Pisces here

Quoted from Wikipedia:

"Cancer is the fourth sign of the Zodiac and associated with family and domesticity. Individuals born under this sign are thought to have a kind, emotional, romantic, imaginative, sympathetic, nurturing, and intuitive character, but one which is also prone to changeability, moodiness, hypersensitivity, depression, and clinginess."

I find it extremely creepy that that can pretty much define me perfectly simply by zodiac sign..

You have to be joking about that last statement. Let me make a similar one.

"[Zodiac Sign] is the sign of the Zodiac associated with life and creativity. Individuals born under this sign are thought to be happy, sometimes sad, hungry, imagintive, creative, intelligent, and analytic. However one is also prone to emotions, change, life, happiness, etc."

I heard of this experiment, where they gave different horoscopes to the "wrong" signs. They "matched" perfectly. All of the astrology BS is supposed to be incredibly ambiguous and apply to everyone. Does anyone really think that everyone born during the same month or whatever is alike?

capricorn.... one of the most depressive signs lol.

Cancer is the fourth sign of the Zodiac and associated with family and domesticity.[/b]

This one is a pretty good description of myself. Although I don't like to admit it, I'm pretty domesticated compared to many of the kids in my school. My mom is way over protected and paranoid when it comes to placing any amount of trust into society and therefore does her base to shudder me away from it as much as she can and as much as my dad allows. I'm really only bound physically, not being allowed to go out with a lot of my friends a lot of the time, but now I'm getting off topic..

Now looking over these, I see what you're saying about the ambiguity of them. With a few exceptions, I can see how most if not all people could relate to these qualities in some way or another. A few of them in particular I found really pertained to myself, but I guess most people could pick out a few for themselves.

I suppose the first sentence reeled me in a little bit and swayed my opinion about the whole topic..

Sagittarius. "Individuals born under this sign are thought to have a straight-forward,dynamic, highly intelligent,extremely clever, ethical, humorous, generous, open-hearted, compassionate, and energetic character, but one which is also prone to restlessness, impulsiveness, impatience, recklessness, and kiddishness."

I'm all the bold things. Vex, I argue with myself too. Funny story, but I think it doesn't relate so I'm not saying it and you all must suffer from lack of humor.

that arguing with yourself, ithink, is a pretty universal thing! I do that a lot. In fact sometimes it's like there's an entire of commitie of assholes in my head carefully planning me next move.....

What's a scorpio? All I know, is that's what I am

"[Zodiac Sign] is the sign of the Zodiac associated with life and creativity. Individuals born under this sign are thought to be happy, sometimes sad, hungry, imagintive, creative, intelligent, and analytic. However one is also prone to emotions, change, life, happiness, etc."[/b]

Oh my god! That matches me perfectly! I'm always hungry!

I'm Cancer.

According to the web page I found:

Cancerians are wonderful to be around and can be great company, amusing and able to tell stories and jokes. They have an instinctive understanding of human relationships and are great to help sort out problems and be a shoulder to cry on. Sensitive, kind and sympathetic, with an absolute urge to nurture and protect people around them, particularly the family.

Kind, sensitive, sympathetic, imaginative, maternal/paternal, solicitous, protective, cautious, patriotic, tenacious, shrewd, thrifty, resourceful, a good homemaker.




I also found this interesting:

Only if you go to Coeur d'Alene. There's not much else there... unless you're going to college.

You'd be suprised how deep astrology can go. It's very accurate, if you look past most of those cheap websites.

You might find "Soul Numerology" a very intersting read.

I'm a Cancer too, and I gave always thought I got along good with the other water signs--Pisces as friends, and Scorpios as lovers. But I ended up with a Saggitarius, completely unsuited to my sensitive nature. Go figure; it's almost like the Zodiac isn't for real.

Capricorn here. The basic raw description is pretty accurate. Business and money are not my friends though.

Anyone interested in this stuff should read "The Secret Language of Birthdays". That book is just amazing. It goes by thousands of people that were born on the same day as you to come up with a composite.

Yeah, well I've even thought that when I looked at my "description." There are a couple things that you find "really true" about yourselves (which can easily cause you to ignore the ones that aren't true).

I just find the whole idea of everybody born during X time is like this silly. Everyone takes it for granted who believes in it, but what causes them to be like that? Maybe its my ignorance in the subject, but I don't think there is any "force" that makes them the way it says they should be. Even like, a "god."

Millions of forces injcluding environmental, cultural, societal (is that a word), and other forces such as your parents, people around you, etc. cause you to develop your characteristics. Diet, genetics, etc. results in your body type. All this has nothing to do with when you were born...

Yay for Libra!!

Scorpio

Astrology's just one of many ways human beings have attempted to categorize and understand each other -- why people can be so different in temperament, ability, and drive. Just like attempts to understand through other metaphysical systems, such as Chinese astrology, aura colors, ayurvedic prakrutis, etc.

About as many people I've met have "fit" their sun sign as didn't. Astrology can conveniently explain away a lot of the seeming discrepancies by the placement of the other celestial bodies in the houses and how they interact. The intricacies are quite interesting, but I'm sure it's the same in other systems.

Astrology's fun to play with but not true in any scientific sense. Ultimately it won't give you any real self-knowledge, so it's best not to get too distracted with it or any other ready-made system that lumps the entirety of your being -- or anyone else's -- into a neat little package.

But...it is fun to see the reaction of some people when you tell them you're Scorpio lol
