yannow, with all due respect....horoscopes is a way of escaping from living life.
Do I date a pisces, or a leo...do I try for the new job?...well no, the stars say I'm not ready...instead of just doing things. sothere

I think astrology is interesting and fun, but I don't believe in it, per se. I don't know I've ever asked someone what their sign was before dating them. But I do check out compatibility with their sign, but for me that's just a silly crush thing to do when I'm mooning over someone. I don't really think it means much.
I'm a gemini. I don't know that I hold all gemini characteristics.

Gemini... huh... ~Smile.

Freespirit said:

I'm a Gemini and my soon to be is a Libra.

His Moon is in Gemini, and mine is in Sagittarius.

We both have the same Ascendant.

This is by far the best relationship I've ever been in.

And yes, I am ALWAYS asking people when their birthday is.

Ding! Correct answer.

Sun sign astrology is fun but very general. You need the date, place and correct time of birth to get more accurate info.

On topic, I always wanna know a person's sign. Sometimes I even try to guess. For example,

People with strong Venus or Libra usually have dimples
True Virgos often walk on their toes
Capricorns tend to frown a lot, which masks a wicked sense of humor

Btw, I'm a Gemini sun/Capricorn ascendant/Aries moon. Most compatible with Libra, Aquarius, Gemini, Aries and Capricorn. All my life my best friends were usually Cappys and other Gems.

Fire sign men make the best lovers (to me anyway), especially uninhibited Aries.
Most Saggittarian men have lots of stamina.
Leo men are usually romantic



Generally speaking...

Hi!

People who use astrology that way are misusing it. Astrology is only one ingredient in the human soup. It can only give insight much the same way a meterologist forecasts the weather conditions. Astrologer's predictios can be misleading if they are viewed as anything other than an informed opinion or an educated guess.

That said, we are a part of, and therefore affected somewhat by the happenings in the universe just as the moon regulates things ranging from ocean tides to our menstrual cycles. It has some bearing on our lives but should not be used as a substitute for free will or for that matter, God's will.

I agree that using astrology for a crutch or as an excuse for anything is wrong.

I love reading about this sort of thing. I am a gemini and I find some of what they decribe about a gemini's fits me but some does not.
I have not figured out the best sign for me yet. I know that gemini men are not good for me- neither are Virgos.
I have never let someones sign determine if I was going to talk to them or date them. Just find it interesting to read.

Honestly, I would only make it a factor if they were a Taurus or a Gemini. Gemini b/c of the dual personality thing/being inconsistent & Taurus b/c I've had 2 Taurus muthafuckas who I thought would be friends for life both flip on me for no reason other than their own bullshit. I will never date or befriend another Taurus if I can help it

i look it up just for fun like in the newspaper or something like that. but it has no precedence on whom i date or not. ive noticed that there's a pattern where i'm drawn to leos and air signs mostly

CalhounSq said:

dual personality? moi?

I know whatcha mean 'bout them Tauruses though.

sun, moon and ascendant are all in sagittarius here.

Nonsense. Sorry.

A friend and I were talking the other day about how the next time somebody asks our sign, we're going to tell them the wrong one, and then hear them go on about how that makes SO MUCH SENSE.

pisces here

Sagittarius here.

I have almost ALWAYS fallen for Virgos. And a couple of Leos, too.

I get on very well with fellow Sag's and Scorpio's, too, who are similar to Sag's in some ways.... HOWEVER, while I think there MAY be something to this ancient art at times (all the Virgos I know are very similar), it also has a lot to do with the individual. There is still a lot of sceptic in me with this stuff, though I believe in a higher purpose, for sure.

My mum's a Taurean. I know what it's like. They sure are the "bull", sometimes!

hey fellow Sag

mrdespues said:

I'm a virgo! And a very typical one at that. Even though I'm on the cusp.

I definitely do. I'll make friends with anyone of any sign. But being a believer in astrology, being 35 and having had several trial and error experiences in the love department, I'm pretty set on what signs I'll become romantically involved with. I'll do a couple of dates maybe with a few outside of the norm, just to test the water an see if there's not something I can pull from their sun and moon, but for the ones that I look at, go gaga over, and really want to "be" with....oh hell, there's a select 4 that I stick to and that's THAT .

...isn't that terrible!?

Rising Sign is in 24 Degrees Sagittarius
You are known for being open, frank, outgoing and honest. At times, though, you are also blunt and quite indiscreet. Others have to learn not to take everything you say personally, because you usually do not mean any harm. You appreciate living your life in a straightforward and simple manner -- you dislike social niceties and consider them to be hindrances to real communication. You have lots and lots of energy and tend to become quite restless if you feel confined. You demand the freedom to do as you choose -- you must be self- directed or you feel trapped and anxious. With your abundant energy, you enjoy being outdoors, and you should be attracted to physical exercise or to those forms of sport which can help you burn off some of that excess energy. Very gregarious, you love to socialize -- your innate enthusiasm livens up any gathering.

Sun is in 28 Degrees Sagittarius.
Very fun-loving, spirited and energetic, you have a huge reservoir of physical energy within you that needs to be released. As such, exercise or sports are very important to you. Quite gregarious, you enjoy being with other people, but you tend to avoid emotionally restrictive or intimate relationships. Constantly curious about the broader issues of life, you may at times be quite careless and sloppy about details -- you tend to leap to conclusions before all the facts are in. An avid reader, you are totally enthusiastic about any given subject should it interest you. You are known for being idealistic, generous, sociable, cheerful and very positive!

Moon is in 02 Degrees Sagittarius.
An idealist, you prefer the grand, the beautiful, the good and the noble. You get very disappointed when your high expectations in life are not met. Very curious by nature, you enjoy traveling and learning about other peoples and cultures. Try to avoid your tendency to ignore the small but important details of living. You are independent and free, and you want others to be that way, too. Optimistic, buoyant and cheerful, others like to have you around. You have an incessant desire to learn as much as possible about metaphysics, religion, philosophy and any other broad, deep subject. Your life tends to be punctuated by bursts of energy and frenetic activity.

Mercury is in 16 Degrees Sagittarius.
Your mind is very curious and inquisitive, always seeking information on a wide variety of topics. The broader the subject matter (philosophy, science, religion, metaphysics), the more it will appeal to you. You prefer to deal with abstractions -- the small but important details associated with any subject tend to slip your grasp. You are known for being blunt, honest and truthful.

Venus is in 13 Degrees Aquarius.
You are a friendly and outgoing individual, but close relationships are difficult for you to maintain due to your fear that they will cause you to lose your freedom. You attract friends and associates who are exciting, different and sometimes a bit odd. You are popular with others and enjoy working within a group toward group goals.

Mars is in 26 Degrees Aquarius.
Your ideas and opinions are usually inventive and original, but sometimes they are merely eccentric and offbeat. You are altruistic -- you will work hard for the attainment of group goals, as long as they meet your high standards. You tend to resent traditional authority figures because you think that your ideas are better thought out and more valuable than theirs. Very idealistic, you are a rebel WITH a cause!

Jupiter is in 18 Degrees Capricorn.
You tend to feel that the only results that are worthwhile are the results that are concrete and demonstrable. You distrust abstract solutions and appreciate measurable achievements. An excellent organizer and planner, you are optimistic as well as practical and realistic about what can and what cannot happen. Very responsible, you consider it a personal weakness to be wrong about anything. This makes you appropriately cautious. You are very efficient but you tend to be cool and detached.

Saturn is in 23 Degrees Scorpio.
You tend to release emotional energies only very reluctantly. This is partly due to your fear of what horrible calamity might occur should they be released -- your emotions are terribly complicated and intense. Try not to repress these energies entirely, however, or you will succumb to negative and destructive forms of compulsive behavior. Give yourself the freedom to look awkward or silly once in a while. The relief you feel will be quite therapeutic and the embarrassment (whether it is real or imagined) will pass quickly.

Uranus is in 14 Degrees Sagittarius.
You, and most of your peers, have the tendency to think that all ideas, customs and traditions from the past are outmoded and irrelevant. You are attracted to radically new ideas, philosophies and religions that will, hopefully, cause sweeping changes throughout the world.

Neptune is in 01 Degrees Capricorn.
You, and your entire generation, will idealize work, practicality and the ability to attain reasonable goals. But, because you will also stress the need to be selfless and giving, you may find it difficult to attain your goals unless you have lowered your expectations on all fronts.

Pluto is in 04 Degrees Scorpio.
For your entire generation, this is a period of intense research and discovery in areas that were heretofore considered mysterious, remote or taboo. The root causes for many complex occurrences will be unearthed due to the intensity and thoroughness of the search.

N. Node is in 27 Degrees Taurus.
It's not in your nature to seek out many casual acquaintances in your daily round of activities. You feel much more comfortable with a small, close-knit group of people -- those with whom you can relax and work toward known and clearly defined goals. Your loyalty to a person or group, once given, is forever -- you'll expend all of your quite considerable energy in seeing that the group stays together and prospers. You choose your partners and relationships so carefully that you're bound to gain certain advantages from them, including those of a material nature. Be careful though not to let mere self-service be your motivation in establishing your connections -- make sure that there's an even give-and-take!

My ex-husband is Aries...I'll try most anything at least once.

SHANNA said:

An ARIES? ...oh you poor dear ....but at least he was amourous and generous with the dough, no???

I remember during many a heated argument with an ex-Aries of mine always SCREAMING like a woman who lost her religion- that outside of shopping and the bedroom, our life together SUCKED ASS...





Ironically, as friends I ADORE Aries! We're similar enough where we vibe off of each other really lovely. I have a lot of Aries friends and I really treasure them...it's just when you want to be in a romantic relationship with one the power struggles emerge and every day has the potential to become a nuclear fallout ...then the next thing you know you're back in bed... and all is forgotten...until the next 24 hours roll around and you want to strangle each other again.... oh, yes- they've very addictive and intoxicating people, but just like a recreational drug experience, not really reccomended for our best health and peace of mind
