I'm a snake. These are my qualities: Deep thinker, wise, mystic, graceful, soft-spoken, sensual, creative, prudent, shrewd, ambitious, elegant, cautious, responsible, calm, strong, constant, purposeful. Can be loner, bad communicator, possessive, hedonistic, self-doubting, distrustful, mendacious.

My secret animal according to my time of birth is the pig. These qualities are supposed to be the truest representation of my personality. Those qualities are:
Honest, simple, gallant, sturdy, sociable, peace-loving, patient, loyal, hard-working, trusting, sincere, calm, understanding, thoughtful, scrupulous, passionate, intelligent. Can be naive, over-reliant, self-indulgent, gullible, fatalistic, materialistic.


I think... This is all so confusing.

Aww

Still I can relate to some bits and pieces from the Chinese astrology but to me its just another face to the same coin, a TRAP if you will.

I know what I'm talking about,,,,my cousin is a REAL astrology buff, and the way she files people under each sign is just unbearable,,,she even makes these preconceived ideas about their personality based on their star sign

kpowers said:

ok i just proved it, didn't i.

Harlepolis said:

Now, I don't do that at all. It's usually in hindsight that I realize someone that I did or did not get along with was a certain sign. For instance over an 18 month period I dated FIVE guys that were all born on April 15th. And they ALL acted the same in many aspects. I had the same issues with all them muthafuckas.

My mother is an Aries(7th of April).

Supposedly, she's the most FIRED tempered woman among her siblings(and unreasonable when angry) and alot of them blame it on the star sign.

I seriously wanted to scream to them, "How come she's ONLY unreasonable with you dumb clocked senile bitches? "

YES, I guess I can admit that astrology has a way with people,,,,I don't know what it is, but I'm not fully convinced about it.

I'm a libra, and supposedly libras are like this >>>>> when it comes to Capricorns and Arians,,,,,then HOW come, those are the people that I get along with the most? Its not a coincidence.

Another famous trait of a librarian; the BEST Socialites which is a joke, coz I hate people and I distrust them to an uhealthy degree.

I sat myself one day once and read the WHOLE astrology signs' characteristics(YEP, didn't have shit to do that day :evillol), and I found out that the BEST sign that describes me is supposedly my opposite; a Scorpio

Aisha: Despite the heavy foundation make-up and countless botox sessions, I'm afraid. Yes.



I blame the folks who buy into her books.

I enjoy reading astrology too,,,,but its FATAL when you take it to heart you end up missing out on ALOT of great personalities because your lazy ass should've done the work instead of relying on some zodiac chart.

I'm a Wood Ox


THE SIGN OF THE OX

Pragmatic and down-to-earth, Ox people are motivated to work hard and have no respect for lazy or careless people. Although they can be easily trusted and find it easy to put trust in others, they are not dependent on friends and family and would rather find an answer or a solution themselves than to ask these people for help or guidance. However, others can, without a doubt rely on Oxen, who are always honest and meticulous about their responsibilities. While they do not feel the need for many distant or acquaintance-oriented friendships, they value the strong bonds they share with their partners and families, and make close friends that last a lifetime.

Though they are quite open-minded, once Ox people have made a decision about something, they rarely change it. This is a defining characteristic that can be seen as obstinacy, but it is actually the way an Ox learns to be strong, brave and straightforward. It is the way the Ox learned to take on tasks and responsibilities and how he learns to be reliable for others. Oxen are more comfortable with the well-known as opposed to the unfamiliar. Yet, beneath their unpretentious, tranquil exterior lies a heart of gold and a motivation to prosper.

CHARACTERISTICS

Obstinate, Pouty, Truthful, Motivated, Friendly, Apathetic, Genuine, Quick-tempered

THE WOOD OX

Understanding and fair, these are the least unyielding of the Oxen and the most apt to change and accept new ideas. A more liberal attitude gives them the ability to appreciate the value of being a part of a team, and other members of the team respect the high principles of the Wood Ox. They are particularly self-confident giving them an air of unspoken authority. This characteristic means that Wood Oxen are often chosen as leaders or spokespeople. They also have a shorter fuse than other Ox people, and are more likely to be outspoken or to stand up in a crowd to be heard. These Oxen are quite devoted to those they love and make strong and affectionate friends and relations.
