Do you read/believe in your horoscope and star sign traits?

But Susan Miller tells me....:eek:

''You will be moving toward the solar eclipse of June 1. Once you get to June, life will start to stir wildly. We will have three eclipses in a row, each two weeks apart, for they always coincide with a new moon and full moon. The June 1 eclipse will be a solar eclipse in Gemini, the easiest one of the pack. After that, we have the full moon lunar eclipse in Sagittarius on June 15, and after that, the solar eclipse of July 1 in Cancer. Without going into detail, the Gemini-Sagittarius eclipse will accent travel, ideas and attitudes, and interaction with your sister or brother.''

I dont have a sister, cant travel and there aint no full moon. Lies, lies, lies? :O

Just look at how many fights you see on a full moon

I read or watched somewhere that the increased activity on a full moon was the result of people actually being out on the full moon because they could see. pre street lights times. so the wives tale stuck.

I wouldn't wipe my arse with the stuff they print in papers, I don't believe in horoscopes. But a family member is big into astrology (wouldn't go near that shite in the papers either) and delved further deep into the personality aspect of the whole thing. Apparently a lot of other factors have to be accounted for, such as your exact time of birth - and they tracked down hospital records for the family to find out our exact birth times to see if it would mean a more accurate description of our personalities and lives, I suppose.

I was verrrry critical about the whole thing to begin with, but what came back was something that made me laugh the whole way through - even the bad stuff, if I'm honest is true.

As a Cancerian, the generalized, loose description would be that we are family and home based, emotional, fragile, sensible savers, and insightful amongst other things. Which most of it is a load of bollox. Family-wise, Im close to my parents and siblings - it's my siblings off-spring that I find it difficult to form attachments with because I'm just not maternal in any way, and quite frankly kids are fucking annoying. Home-based yes, because I like to get the hell away from everyone when I feel like it and lock up shop. Emotional and fragile, definitely not - I have a lot of fight in me, and would be the last woman standing in any argument, and I find it almost impossible to cry. I can be very dissociative when it comes to cutting things or people out of my life. And as for insightful?? I'm afraid those super-powers only work on other people, because if I could do the same for myself I mightn't have all the problems I have.

The description given back to me pretty much high-lighted these flaws, and I laughed about them - because they are actually are true. The more in depth description of my personality made some sense, which reversed all of the sentiments of cancerians being home-making super hens, and basically pointed out there was a quirky humoured person that people come to for advice, and a competitive natured, sex obsessed arse-hole that makes a lot of bad choices for herself. Now we're talking.

You still wouldn't catch me reading the bullshit tabloid horoscopes though.

For some reason people find coincidence meaningful.

i spend an hour each morning working on my charts, and it's probably the most productive hour of my day. you can't overestimate the amount of influence the solar system has on our lives.

Um...you can.

Let's see what we have here:

1. No proof that it works
2. No idea of a mechanism by which it could work

So...the evidence would suggest that it's a bit like fairies down the bottom of your garden - impossible to disprove, and the type of thing that some people like to believe, but that any thinking person knows is horsesh!te.

1. how do you explain my successful life choices to date?
2. um, solar flares?

Ok, you got me

I hate it when I don't immediately spot wind-up merchants.

Unfortunately I am a believer of horoscopes and star sign traits! They didn't match much to me when I were younger but as I've got older I'm amazed at that a couple of different horoscopes for each day could get it right or almost right for me which can be a bit weird and freaky sometimes there are other days my horoscope does not make sense maybe.

I'm sure the balance is on the side of the inaccurate, so why believe it the odd time its right?
