Horoscopes + You = Luv 4ever?

[Zaia]

Ok, before we get into this thread, I just want to make it clear that I do NOT go for horoscopes that tell you about how your day will turn out, saying shit like, "Save money today, avoid tall people with crooked eyebrows and cross at the crosswalks at lunchtime."

So. To the point:

I own a book called Sex Signs (by a woman named Judith Bennett) which is really interesting. It describes the characteristics of people from each horoscope sign in detail as those characteristics pertain to love, sex, and sexual relationships. What struck me about this is that the description for my sign (doorprize to who remembers when my birthday was and consequently knows my sign!) was DEAD ON. Like, not sort of, wishy-washy right, but frighteningly accurate.

So, each sign has about 30-40 pages about it, but I'm not going to copy the entire book on here (Judith would not love me then). However, for each sign, she has a list of adjectives to describe how that person is a majority of the time. Every single one of mine fit. And, after typing them all up myself, I know that each list is different, and my list is DEFINITELY me and not just me twisting it to be me.

Anyway!

Where you come in:

Find you sign, read the list, and tell me how well it fits you. I want to know if it's just me that this lines up for, or if it's consistently accurate. Gracias.

Whew!

[theski]

I am a Gemini and It is about 85% accurate.. So you are not the only one who is like their sign.

[Enforcer Talen]

-shock- Im 30 of those traits.

course, they could be common and I could just be reading into it too much.

[Kuja]

Hmmm...moderately on-target.

[Zaia]

-shock- Im 30 of those traits.

course, they could be common and I could just be reading into it too much.

That's what I thought, until I read the other signs and so how I totally fit with mine and not really with the others. Weird.

[Keevan_Colton]

Hmm....I've noticed there are plenty of contradictions between traits under each sign...for the most glaringly obvious one includes both "day person" and "night person".....

As for me, I could I suppose say yes for about 3/4ths of them....but they arent exactly specific sorts of things.....

[Gandalf]

Whoa, the Virgo stuff was rather correct for me.

[J]

Virgo
August 24-September 23

1. Altruistic - Mmm...mostly
2. Selective - Selective in what? Overall not really, but in some things yes
3. Low self-esteem - Definitely not
4. Hard worker - I am, towards the goals I've set for myself
5. Demanding - Of myself, yes, but in general it's hard to say
6. Perfectionist - not at all
7. Self-righteous - in a good way or a bad way?
8. Persuasive - If I have to be, but I really don't like doing that
9. Incisive - err...lemme get back to you on this one
10. Encyclopedic - I guess...
11. Honest - Yup
12. Practical - Uh huh
13. Modest - Mostly
14. Undemonstrative - Until I get ticked off
15. Self-effacing - Hmmm...
16. Repressed - Uh, No, go to hell
17. Compulsive - See 16
18. Tidy - sort of, but not really
19. Dedicated - Yup
20. Monogamous - Of course
21. Variable sex drive - Variable? Of course it varies! Duh!
22. Curious - Quite
23. Mobile - In what sense?
24. Hyper-energetic - Full of energy yes, but not hyper
25. Nervous - No
26. Health-conscious - Part of being a national level athlete, so yes
27. Organized - Only as much as I need to be, which isn't much these days
28. Healer - In that I can empathize and help others through stuff, yes
29. Worrier - If I was I'd be old & dead by now
30. Humane - How can I not be?
31. Responsible - Very
32. Good teacher - Not really
33. Critical - Of myself at times, but life's too short for that
34. Efficient - Thanks to 7am swim practice and university course loads, very. But I'm slipping these days...
35. Has character - A most definite and resounding YES!

Seems more hit & miss than anything else with me, I did get more Yes answers than anything else but honestly don't think it's any better than pure chance. I find that horoscopes are mildly amusing to read but that's about it.

[Zaia]

Hmm....I've noticed there are plenty of contradictions between traits under each sign...for the most glaringly obvious one includes both "day person" and "night person".....

True, but that was for Scorpio, right? My best friend's a scorpio, and it's right. She's a walking contradiction. *shrugs*

As for me, I could I suppose say yes for about 3/4ths of them....but they arent exactly specific sorts of things.....

Well, they can't be so specific to the point where they say, "You have a fetish for people with long incisors" because they are meant to apply to 1/12 of the populus of the earth, in theory. *shrugs*

I'm not saying I believe in it, exactly. I just find it interesting because mine fits me so well. Like 98% of stuff some of which my best friend doesn't even know about me, opposed to your 75% of stuff you find rather general anyway.

Hmmm, lets check it for me.

Virgo
September 15

3. Low self-esteem Only occasionally.
9. Incisive Even after reading everything dictionary.com has to say about this word I'm still not sure what this word means in describing a person.
11. Honest In a bad way.
16. Repressed
17. Compulsive
25. Nervous
29. Worrier
30. Humane

I just read in psych class about how this things are overly generalized so that most of what they say applies to most everyone.

[Crayz9000]

Well, the astrological calendar is screwed up, anyway. It's about 2500 years off from the current zodiac, meaning that I really should be a Cancer although I'm listed as a Leo.

Of course, the zodiac is completely arbitrary, anyway. Change the constellations and you'll throw everything off.

That said, I seem to have about half of the traits in both Cancer and Leo. Oh well...

[Howedar]

17/30 on Pisces, although most of those would fit anyone.

[Gil Hamilton]

Disclaimer:
You may find it inconceiveable or rather the least bit unlikey that the relative positions of the planets and the stars could have a special significance or meaning that exclusively applies to only you, but let me give you our assurance that these forecasts and predictions are all based on solid scientific documented evidence, so you would have to be some kind of moron not to realize that each and every one of them is absolutely true.

[Zaia]

I don't believe in it, just so you all know.

I just think it's weird that all of mine are very much me.

I'm a Pisces, and I don't think those adjectives would fit just anyone. At least not to the degree which they fit me.

Whatev.

Well, let's see. According to that, I am proud and humble, opinionated and unbiased, shy, aloof, and friendly, and sexually broad-minded yet erotically inhibited. Yep, sounds like a nice consistent description, aside from the things that I don't even understand, like freedom-speaking.

[Illuminatus Primus]

*snip silly horoscopes*

[Vympel]

I'm virgo.

It *sounds* like me ... but really ... I could be Libra and maybe I'd say it sounds like me too.
