    How can it be accurate? It's pure cold reading. What is it about those stars out of the million other ones that makes them impact peoples lives (then there is the precession of the equinoxes as someone else mentioned)?
    Besides, shouldn't there be 13 groups of people worldwide living the exact same lives?

    Objectively it's a load of crap but as to the meaning or lack thereof you give to a star sign, that's something personal and unique.

    Taurus.

    I do have quite a few Taurean traits - loyal, possessive and determined but I think 95% of astrology is mumbo jumbo rubbish.

    I do think there is something to it - but not to extent that astrologers waffle on about.

    IMO, and it's only IMO, most Taurus people are cnuts. Self centered cnuts. That is not against you btw, it's just my own experience.
    My other "Starry eyes" observations are:
    Virgo women are indeed stunners. The men are a pita. Too complex.
    Cancerians are nice and decent, but very few people are true cancerians, most are mixtures of signs - in fact, almost everyone is. Nearly no one is just one sign. Pure Cancerians are nice tho.
    Pisces people seem all strait laced and upstanding. Inside, they want to be naked on a beach in Ibiza.
    Aries people are head cases. Resistance is futile.
    Gemini people - who knows? They don't know themselves. It changes, a lot.
    Leo people - are they really people? They make for cruel older sisters, vain Bosses and haughty waiters.
    Libra - stop judging me. And everything else. Also cold. But hot. The women are anyway. The men, not so much..just judgey..
    Scorpio - Scorpios are wonderful... and they'll kill you if you disagree..
    Sagittarius - If you want to really know if your bum looks big in these jeans, ask one of these. They'll tell it straight and wonder why you're annoyed.
    Capricorn - your managers probably one. Yeah. No need to say more..
    Aquarius - I'm not saying they're dull, but carrying water isn't exactly exciting..you get my drift..you'd get more action out of an envelope.

    I've always found people born under Taurus very self-absorbed, arrogant and quick to anger, met very few nice people born under that sign so there must be something in it. It's uncanny in the way many times that I've only found out their birthdays afterwards but guessed correctly most of the time what it was.

    I am Virgo. Apparently I get on with other Virgos, Taurus and Capricorn.

    When I was a teenager, I had a huge crush on a Capricorn! We were definitely not compatible though or maybe too compatible :/:)

    Define ''Head case'' please? :)

    My ex is a Capricorn. Not an advisable combination, according to the horoscopes. Irresistible force meets immovable object.

    Aries? The best people going, but headers. I've an Aries son. Head case. Like all the others I know. A lot of Bosses are Aries. Drivven and moody. very.

    Odd. Driven, definitely, moody would be the very last word I'd think of for Aries. I've never known one to sulk, too straightforward and impatient for that.

    Unless you mean a bit explosive. But I'd say only with good cause and it doesn't linger.

    Of course we are all different, but the similarities can be amusing.

    It is generalised. You'd really need to get a chart done to have any idea. (Never bothered myself)

    It's more complex than just "you're a Pisces". It's a kinda smorgasbord. People are mixtures of astro-traits. In general, you have to say there are certain characteristics that bear out. You ever met a watery scorpio? Or a driven Aquarius?

    I used to read them when I was a kid and believe in it but I've met too many people now and they'd have nothing in common and be the same star sign. Your personality is based on your life experience mainly. That thing about Taurians being generous!! Fck that.

    Yes and no. That happens when people see what they want to see in themselves. It can encourage introspection and self awareness, too.

    I'm confident that I wouldn't be convinced by the description of another sign, if someone posted it up and said it was a description of Aries people.

    Linda Goodman is a good read. It's nuanced. But it ALWAYS bears out. It's a odd one. I'm a cynic, but I can't cynic this.

    Russell Grant would have done my astrological chart for me but you need to know the time of your own birth for that. I would be interested to know how accurate they seem.

    Again, dunno why people get worked up about it. Harmless bit of vanity.

    I just read mine there, some of it was true alright, some of it wasn't. It's getting dated now though sadly, I remember reading those books years ago.

    Astrology, the "science" of star signs, is just as comforting as any religion. Gives you some assurance about your place in the (spiritual) world or about your (hazy) personality or whatever.

    Not to be confused with horoscopes which is the art of prediction which is usually utter bolloxology.
    But then others believe in a future of paradise, heaven, hell, reincarnation or resurrection. So what's the difference?

    I'm a scorpio and per se don't believe in anything else as in what I do and create myself :D

    Though the prediction that later this year riches will come my way appeals somehow ...

    Indeed

    The 25,800 year precession cycle of the Earth's axis means that star signs have shifted since astrology started. So your star sign doesn't represent the stars you were born under.


    If the Earth's axis was as tilted as Uranus then star signs would be very complicated.

    I'm a Capricorn, not sure about the alleged traits or their relevance to me.

    My parents were given a Jyotisha birth chart for me when I was born, according to that I'm a Makara and will do wonderful things. I'm doubtful about the accuracy.

    Well, obviously I don't know! :)

    It was just a guess from googling Makara, combined with the dates for Capricorn, and my knocking around on boards for so long that I remember you posting a while ago that you were 26, then another while ago that you were 28... you get the picture!

    (not a stalker, promise. Just very good memory! And the lack of anything better to do on a very windy Saturday afternoon out here in the Wesht...)
