Horoscope for all zodiac signs: Outside of their physical effects, celestial bodies do not affect your life in any way, not today, not ever.

Agreed. It's ridiculous. It's the same as phrenology or any other foolishness. It's all about confirmation bias. People selectively remember moments when it confirmed their belief and conveniently forget all the other times when it did not.
WordWeaver 3 years ago
All that the negative comments show is that they know absolutely nothing about real astrology which is subtle and complex. If you judge by your newspaper or magazine horoscope then of course you will feel it is rubbish. The star patterns do move - it's called the precession of the equinoxes, but astrology bases its calculations on apparent movements as seen from the Earth. Energies of outer bodies are focused through the ecliptic which does not move. Having said that, Indian astrology is different to Western so signs are one different to ours eg in Western Astrology you might be a Libra but in Indian you might be a Scorpio.

It is indeed subtle and complex. It is also completely imaginary.

The complete and total lack of evidence for it... the only position that believers (of this and other harmful fallacies, such as religion) have is reliance on rational people not being able to prove a lack of existence (which is impossible) and the time when their friend Karen, once had one slightly similar event happen one day that was somewhere near the exceedingly and intentionally vague horoscope "prediction"

Most people only know their Sun sign which they call their star sign. However, all the other planets have their places and make patterns with each other. Then there is your Rising sign and various other crucial points and placements like Houses. All these energies imprinted on you when you first drew breath. So you might have Sun in Leo (and even the degree means something) in the Twelfth House with Mercury in Virgo in the First House, Rising sign Virgo. Just that much tells me you're possibly hypercritical!

Nope, it's all BS. I can read the traits of every sign and they could apply to me. Also, the skies have changed since this pap was invented, so the dates don't even line up anymore.

Again, shallow knowledge counts for little, and makes for shaky judgement. An opinion is only worth the knowledge it's based on.

Holy c**p, I just did my Mayan one for a laugh and it's 100% me. TBF I'm Leo, Fire Snake, and now I'm apparently a Serpent / Eagle (day / "month" signs)... I personally do believe in astrology, I don't find other signs are quite so right a fit for me, but I also think it's a power of the mind, it's real for me *because* I believe. Plus it's fun and doesn't hurt anyone unlike some other hobbies!

I’m a Libra. People think we are calm and perfectly balanced just like the scales ⚖️ that represent our star sign. The truth is those scales go up and down, sometimes irrationally 10 to 20 times a week! Calm? Scales dipping towards that…wait for it! BOOM! The Libra scales can swing back the other way in a heartbeat.

My main Sun sign? For the most part, but there's a lot more to the Zodiac than just Sun signs. If you use a free online website, you can actually calculate your ENTIRE "birth chart". There's your Sun sign, Moon sign, Rising sign, etc. Calculating it in full takes into account ALL of the signs and what their position was, the meaning, etc. So if you don't readily identify with your Sun sign, sometimes you can get really surprising and accurate results by looking at the entire chart. It can get even more confusing though if you're a "cusp" baby, born very close to the next sign. For example if you were born on March 20, that's the last day of Pisces. Aries starts on the 21st, so you're a "cusp" baby and could more to Aries instead of Pisces. All of the extra calculations in your birth chart can have multiple "cusps" too so it can all get quite complicated. It's just something fun, I guess.

I would suspect that your Mercury is a bit too close to the Sun (ie Gemini Sun in close conjunct with Gemini Mercury) - this often indicates mental imbalances. I know someone with this placement and he has Aspergers.

I'm Aquarius. For the longest time I thought Aquarius was the artistic sign, but then I saw it's Pisces that's artistic and Aquarius is the humanitarian sign. Although I have a lot of empathy and care about people and animals, I think a lot of people born in various times of year can be humanitarians and artists.

Matching birth charts for points of conflict and agreement is called synastry.

You might be surprised by such matching to see those points in your relationship where you get on and those where you don't.

I’m a Libra and I don’t believe some of the things they tell people about us. Some people think they’re not funny, which I don’t believe. Or that they are just sunshine and rainbows. However, a lot of my family lives up to their sign’s personality. My dad is a Taurus and if you go into his house, you come out with a hundred extra pounds. Long story short, yes and no.

1. I was in the plant section of a big box store, looking for tips on caring for my spider plant. Struck up a conversation with a fellow shopper who knew a lot about plants. Me to her: "Are you a Taurus?" She replied, "Yes!! How did you know?" 2. Years ago, while on vacation, I met a woman and we chatted. She said how much she loves to work. I asked her if she was a Capricorn. Indeed, she was. 3. Nurse came over several months ago to assess my husband for services. She was talkative, funny, and had a great vocabulary. I asked her if she was a Gemini. Indeed, she was. 4. We have an aide who constantly interrupts...won't shut up...talks over you. I looked up his birth info and yup....as I suspected...mercury in Aries. (Mercury, planet of communication; Aries...always want to be first) Sun signs are a VERY small part of astrology. It's a LOT more complex than that.

I'm a Leo and my husband is a Scorpio. Lol. We get along well, but many of the Leo traits don't fit me. I don't like being center of attention and am not very driven, but I am compassionate and generous. I was attracted to his intelligence and loyalty. He is also very shrewd and stoic, definitely a Scorpio.

Why are experiences I made offensive? I don't hate them. It's just, at some point we don't get along. It may take hours, it also may take years if you are friends with them. I clearly remember this guy who tried to order food for me although I was the one paying. Later he tried to take a no as a yes. Also I had this friend of many years. He liked to brag about work. I liked to not react to it at all. This caused tensions in many situations. These were just some examples of experiences I made who are coincidently are Leos. Here we have a saying. 'The Leo tries to dominate while the Scorpio already took over without telling.'

Sumerian and Babylonian priests studied the skies for thousands of years looking at correlations with earthbound events. That's where Western astrology started - early scientific study. You can not judge the validity based on your shaky knowledge of just your Sun sign.

Astrology is fun, but I don't believe in it, but i do have alot of the traits of an Aries. I'm impulsive, optimistic, energetic. I also have a temper, but when I do bug out I usually get over it quickly. I have ptsd and anxiety, sometimes it's hard to do just basic things. I've have come a long way. I wear an Aries necklace as a reminder to stay strong when things get bad. To motivate myself. So, while I don't think astrology is legit, but my personality is similar to my Zodiac sign.

I am a sun sign Taurus, moon sign Taurus, born in the Year of the Ox. So, yes, it IS somewhat difficult to motivate myself out of a rut! It's been a lifelong struggle, but I keep at it and don't give up improving that. Persistence...yep. Another trait that fits. (I am not stubborn though!). But I do love good food, good wine and good company and *wish* I could afford the kind of luxury my Taurean self gravitates toward. Luckily I don't give in to that or I'd be dead frickin' broke.

I'm Aries- but heck no. Every description I've read on each zodiac is either vague or has a wide variety of traits to be sure that everyone can fit in them. Besides, the date of your birth is almost completely determined by the date of your inception, so why do we use the birthday for the sign? And, if zodiacs were a thing, why are twins different? How can the rotation of a planet that has been rotating for millions of years have any sort of effect on the personality changes of the people, who only started showing up in the last chapter of the planets life?
