Full Version: The Zodiac and you...

First of Two
A little bit of explanation:

A lot of zodiac publications list traits, both positive and negative about your personality. The other day, my BIL and I were talking about this, and we ended up wondering how often what they posted was true. I'm hoping this site could help us come up with a percentage.

I'm not sure how reliable this is, but http://www.thezodiac.com/ has the positive and negative traits for each sign listed. I found that my personality matches a lot of what's listed, but some of what I was told about my sign is not. Anyhow, here's my sign as an example:

I'm a Leo.

It says that I'm artistic, and inspired by people/works that have a high artistic value, and aspire for artistic recognition myself. This is true- I've been trying to get my art and poems published almost since I left HS(no luck so far), and I'm always cruising for good artists/poets that can inspired my own work.

It also says that I have a passionate nature- warm, vital, vivacious, cheerful and loyal to whatever happens to hold its interest. Some of that's true, some of it's not... I'm not that warm, and I'm definitely not cheerful. Vivacious might be out as well...

Leos crave freedom and opprotunity- Oh yeah... I do everything my way every chance I get. I see the system as conformist, and quite often I see it as singling people out, based on what tasks they can and can't perform a task the system's way. If I see an opprotunity, I take it, unless it's a surefire way to lose more than I stand to gain, even if it works out- I'm not afraid, but I ain't stupid...

It says that our biggest negative trait is that we're severely insecure, and require constant external feedback of a nurturing nature. We try to cover this up with a lot of bragging about what we're often told are our positive aspects to the point of a mild vanity. Leos are also told that they have somewhat good instincts, but make up for it by using them to find ways to whore attention. True, true, sometimes true. I don't whore for attention often (I do whore for it sometimes, but I try not to), but the other two are true- I get told those all the time, and I see them in myself quite often.

And the Leo and Love section just about says it all, lol.

Now, how about you?

All these kind of things commit the classic mistake of only looking at the sun sign; there's a lot more to it than that, you need to look at the ascendant, the moon, mercury, venus, they're just as important. That's why you can look at what your star sign is supposed to say about you and think 'tyaah, what a load of ...' , because it only gives half the story.

that's what they reckon, anyway. I'm not saying I believe all of it, but that's what those who do say.

Well, I don't know much about this- I saw the sign's positive traits in the "sun", the negative traits in the "moon", and the constellation only explained what the constellation means in astrological mythology. I didn't know there was a star sign, but what kind of lover Leos are and what kinda partner they look for was kinda eerie with how close it was to my love life thus far...

Fine... don't have fun with this... I just thought it'd be a cute idea for a having some fun. Shows what I know... tongue.gif wink2.gif grin2.gif

One of these days, I'll come up with an idea that's fun, not just weird, w00t.gif wink2.gif happy.gif

Here is a great site that DOES take into account all these.
Once you key in your birthdate (exact to the minnute) You can see your star chart and click on all areas for a complete reading.
It is free as well.

That was really interesting, I am a taurus and it was 100% on the spot with what it said. I was really suprised, so I checked my wifes sign which is pisces, and I fit that one too...and cancer...

Oddly enough it appears that I fit the mold of each of the signs...pretty wierd huh?

I am a leo too and see some of the traits in me. I am very passionate what is important to me.aybe too much so. I know I am insecure and need to hear sometimes that im important or whatever. I try not to let it rule me but sometimes it does. Leos are supposed to be strong..i dont feel very strong..emotionally ect. very confident in what they do and all. sometimes i do.

Forgive me for this virgo need to analyze the situation further.
Also since my moon is in Scorpio, one needs to take extra precautions as this is the worst placement possible.
