hey I've got a fun idea, how true is your astrology sign?

I'm an Aquarius and the description is so bang on it's freaky weird.

Zeraph

Somewhat. Look up the barnum effect. Forer effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's basically saying that all horoscopes are made so all-encompassing that everyone feels they've been matched to a particular horoscope. But in fact, its the language that is misleading. All the signs sound like they could be you. The descriptions are very vague and generalistic.

I find that astrological predictions made for me are generally and nonspecifically accurate. I also find the same for astrological predictions made for the other 11 signs.

This sums it up for me.

Well, let's see. From some random site on the Internets:

Capricorn:
"""
Practical and prudent
Ambitious and disciplined
Patient and careful
Humorous and reserved


On the dark side....

Pessimistic and fatalistic
Miserly and grudging
"""

Yeah, that sounds about right. I can certainly see all those traits in myself.


Oh. And I'm a "Taurus".

I have always related to my sign - Scorpio.

Determined and forceful
Emotional and intuitive
Powerful and passionate
Exciting and magnetic
Jealous and resentful
Compulsive and obsessive
Secretive and obstinate

I am honestly, beyond a shadow of a doubt, naturally prone to all of these descriptors. Obsessive? Yes. Resentful? Yes. Secretive? Yes. Determined? Yes. Intuitive? Heck ya.

I enjoy most exercises that encourage self-evaluation and contemplation. Astrology... well... I don't take it seriously. I read a horoscope as entertainment, don't expect to get anything out of it. Definitely don't plan my life around it. Sometimes I try to prove it wrong- for instance if it says I'll have a bad day, I'll try to make it especially pleasant.

I know very little about this stuff. Any knowledgeable sites would be appreciated.

I found this...
My b-day is Dec. 10th

Sagittarius - The Centaur
"November 22 – December 21
Here we have the philosopher among the zodiac signs and meanings. Like the Scorpio, they have great ability for focus, and can be very intense. However, they must channel their energy or they will waste time and wear themselves out going in too many directions at once. They are not very patient and expect quick results. However, when encountered with failure they make extreme comeback’s often against incredible odds. "

100% dead on until the next line. I commit easily as long as I am sexually satisfied.

"They make loyal friends and lovers, but they do not handle commitment well as they refuse to be tied down while chasing philosophical pursuits."


On another site it also says I am very emotionally unattached and that is also the polar opposite of myself. I wish I were less emotional.

yep, Pisces fits me well.

I've got a Scorpio by my side every day now and these critters are quite the character... BUT I just adore this description of the Scorpio guy. Gotcha!!!

I think I fit all the astrology signs.

This might sound strange but i never read daily horoscopes bc I think they are bullshit. But as far as the astrological signs(cancer) im very true to it. As someone who studies people and personalities, what I have found to be true for the most part, is astrological compatibilities. Who's signs are most compatible with other signs. A sure sign of this was before I started looking in to this after I got a divorce. When I looked up our signs compatibility we were polar opposites of the astrological spectrum. 90% of what it said was true. How she was, how I am and how it would not end well. And it didnt work obviously. Its fun to look it up, but it is what it is.

That describes me surprisingly well. Particularly surprising considering I'm a Capricorn.

Aged about three, my youngest asked what horoscope sign he was. When I told him he started crying and was very upset. He sobbed 'I dont want to be a disease mummy'.
