Then again people are really weird...though having me be a walking contradiction is pretty much sums up my friends' ideas of me

[Asst. Asst. Lt. Cmdr. Smi]

I'd be a Pisces, and I'd guess that half of them are accurate, while the others are the opposite of what I'm really like.

[Drewcifer]

hmm. I'm a Sag and many of the terms fit me, more or less. I had a full astrological chart done once (for shits and giggles) and my Moon is in Virgo or something like that, making Virgo my subordinate sign. Interestingly, the Virgo list here fits me better than the Sag list. In general though I fit my sign pretty well, especially if you replace all the sports stuff with music.

Once, as an experiement, I read my daily horoscopes the day after to see how they well they matched. It was funny, after a few weeks, they matched every day almost perfectly. Later, however, I stopped reading them and they stopped matching. The power of suggestive hindsight?

I agree, horoscopes are 99% crap (also see Crayz9K's post), but i do find it interesting how they match at times.

Oh, and Zaia, March 12th?

[Soulman]

I'm Sagittarius and I got a whopping 3/35. My lack of decent attributes and honesty wins again!!!

[Darth Gojira]

If I'm un-possesive, then why do I call my computer "my preciousssss"? Other than that, mostly accurate.

[Zaia]

*snip silly horoscopes*

If you're not even remotely interested in horoscopes, don't fucking read my thread. Don't waste my time by posting in it with your condescending attitude. Ok? Thanks so much.

[aerius]

Gemini
May 22-June 21

1. Mercurial - Lately I am, but that's because people are pissing me off
2. Quick - Kinda, but I'm losing my touch, lack of practice methinks...
3. Scattered - And no
4. Capricious - not that I know of
5. High-strung, nervous - not at all, try relaxed to the point of being lethargic
6. Entertaining - Not really, I'm not that exciting of a person
7. Stimulating - I stimulate my GF in bed quite well but that's about it
8. Talkative, communicative - only with friends
9. Clever - I'd like to think so, so yes
10. Witty - At times
11. Charming - I have the charm of a brick in real life, so no
12. Inconsistent - Why do I keep reading it as "Incontinent"?
13. Unpredictable - That's for sure
14. Versatile - I guess, I do many things well
15. Outgoing, adventuresome - outgoing, not really, adventuresome...in bed!
16. Freedom-loving - For sure
17. Inventive - Yup
18. Broad-minded - yes
19. Cerebral - I don't know about this one
20. Of two minds - I just had an argument with myself and lost
21. Inquisitive - one of my better traits
22. Footloose - What does dancing have to do with this?
23. Impractical - I could not be where I am if I were, so no
24. Youthful - Yup, I still get carded for liquor

31. Noncommittal - Not reallly
32. Opportunist - Of course I am, but not when friends are involved
33. Devoted - To my GF and friends yes, everything else, no
34. Ambidextrous - I can masturbate with either hand, does that count?
35. Spendthrift - a definite no

Of course I am a weirdo which kinda throws everything off including horoscopes, which don't match up at all and when they do it's pure chance.

[Anarchist Bunny]

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.

Ahhhh Weird Al, what the fuck happened to him?

LOL

30. Ugly duckling - How can i be "attractive" and "seductive" as well as an ugly duckling

Don't you know the story? The ugly duckling is only ugly because it's not a duckling at all. It grows up to be a gorgeous swan. Makes perfect sense.

fits me quite well i'd say

Cool, duuuuuuuude.

[2000AD]

Ahhhh Weird Al, what the fuck happened to him?

*NOTE* Talking to myself, not trying to hijack thread.

Last i heard he's still alive and well. I take it your referring to This Is Your Horoscope For Today:

"A big promotion is just around the corner ... for some one much more talented than you"

I also like the horoscopes in the Have I Got News For You 1997 book:

"A man you've never met before keeps it that way."

[2000AD]

30. Ugly duckling - How can i be "attractive" and "seductive" as well as an ugly duckling

Don't you know the story? The ugly duckling is only ugly because it's not a duckling at all. It grows up to be a gorgeous swan. Makes perfect sense.

Your right, it does make sense. Doh!

[Thirdfain]

After reading this thread, and my own horoscope, I started thinking a lot about horoscopes. My ponderings brought me to realise something:

Almost every adjective here describes everyone SOME of the time.

When you read the adjective, you instinctively think of that adjective. When I read the word "Seductive" I thought about the times i've flirted with girls, danced, so on and so forth- and didn't think about the maany thousands of times I've been slobby, uninteresting, or simply uninterested. I am not a particularly seductive person, but when I saw that word, my mind immediatly went to the few times I HAVE been seductive.

So, basically, the horoscope tricks your mind. You don't try to think of times the adjectives DON't describe you (which may be most of the time!) Rather, you leap to the few times they do describe you.

Sorry, Zaia... It looks to me like it's just a silly thing, another mind game.

[victorhadin]

Ack! I now feel my hand forced to do the terribly obvious and tedious thing; tick off each attribute one by one. You vicious person, you!

Pisces
February 19-March 20

1. Mysterious. -Yes. Probably.
2. Beautiful. A cautious yes.
3. Romantic. -As a brick or an autistic herring.
4. Subtle. -As, again, a brick or autistic herring.

6. Passive. -In what respect? Maybe. Maybe not.
7. Mutable. -Yup.
8. Adaptive. -Yup.
9. In love with love. -See the brick/ autistic herring response again.
10. Devoted. -To what interests me, yes.
11. Gullible. -Not really. Cynical.
12. Compartmentalized. -Yup.
13. Easily hurt. -Once, not now.
14. Sentimental. -Nah... but maybe... no.
15. Indirect. -Again; what meaning? (Actually, I am being indirect now, bugger it. A self-fulfilling prophecy.)
16. Dependent. -Not particularly.
17. Intuitive. -As a particularly distracted herring mulling over something it doesn't quite understand.
18. Psychic. -Hardly. But I can try... it's the queen of spades! Am I right?
19. High spiritual strength. -Again with the indirect "what on Earth do you mean?"

23. Isolationist. -Yup.
24. Introverted. -On occasion.

26. Escapist. -Not really.
27. Artistic. -More than I would freely admit, yes.

MY SCORE:

Yay! 10.

Nay! 18

What the hell is it on about? 7



That could have been more accurate....

[Kelly Antilles]

First: You are not entirely your sun sign. There is also a moon/rising sign (which is where the moon was when you were born) that also dictates how you are. If your birthday is either the first or last few days of a sign, you have tendencies from both the previous or next sign after yours.

I am a (dead center) Scorpio with Virgo rising.

Most of those are so very correct. I'm sure you all know that #34 is VERY much like me.

Those who do not believe in astrology should just keep to themselves and not have looked at this thread at all.

[aphexmonster]

i used to study horriscopes and try to learn what everybodys like, until i found out that it was just completely usless information. i think its basically the equivilant of knowing how to beat a video game without getting touched. sure its good and all... but pfftt... ¬_¬

.... now anytime i think of horriscopes, i easily get reminded of tarus' and quickly become edgy, bothered, and upset. so i just try to avoid that nonsense all together. but when someone tells me there birthday, i can't help but think... oh, they're gonna be like this, or oh the astrological guide says im not compatible with this person. shitty force of habbit

[Boba Fett]

While it roughly pictures me correctly, you must remember that the ascendent is the real power that shapes your personality. Especially after 30. But as I see Kelly already wrote about it.

As far as we're talking about only this list...it's OK!

I was born on the borderline of Leo and Virgo with Aquarius rising...

...what a chaos!

[Robert Treder]

Astrology is such bullshit. These lists are just of general human traits, some good, some bad. Here's my wager: if you compare yourself with the traits listed in all of the signs, you'll find that you're of roughly the same compatability with each of them. I'm going to do that, and I'll post again with my results.

[Batman]

snip condescending if propably true content

*refers Robert Treder to Zaia's comment on Illuminatus Primus' post of this nature*

I would post my results if I actually managed to find out my birthday (damn you DC comics ).
Any pointers?
