860CTguy Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 So I've often found myself googling my sign (Aries) and its compatibility with people I may be getting to know. I'm wondering... does anyone else do this? How much do you buy into it? How much weight do you give to something that really is fairly open to interpretation? Link to comment
Greedy Toad Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Read into it what you will. As a general rule however, i think it is a load of utter rubbish. Link to comment

jonny15 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 None of that stuff is real. I was born on a certain day, and there is nothing more to it. Link to comment
hockeyboy Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 When I meet someone who is really into astrology/signs...I get annoyed, probably more then I should. It ranks up there with tabloids claiming to find Noah's Ark or Bigfoot IMO. Link to comment
NEVEAH Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I love astrology, but I only see it as a form of entertainment, not a guide to life. Funny enough though is all the qualities certain signs are "supposed" to have usually are not even true. So you gotta take it with a grain of salt. Link to comment
glegend Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Bottom line is it's a load of bs since people just make it up. I usually don't believe in this crap; however, this past summer I've run into so much horoscopes that were actually telling the truth at least for me and my buddy, so I'm starting to think its more true. One of part of my monthly horoscope for July said that it will be full of questioning and confusion, well let me tell you how this did happen and I had read this in the middle of the month.

Rangafro Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 One of part of my monthly horoscope for July said that it will be full of questioning and confusion They make Horoscopes for entire months now? Wow. well let me tell you how this did happen and I had read this in the middle of the month. link removed Link to comment
glegend Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 They make Horoscopes for entire months now? Wow.[/url] Yeah on link removed they have daily, weekly, and monthly horoscopes. They are pretty freaky becuase the people I have shown them to could reflect on them. I explained about one thing on my horoscope. Well I showed my buddy his horoscope at work, and it said about money problems, well my buddy had finished telling me had a 2000 dollar credit card bill with only 17 dollars in his bank account. link removed I'm going to read into this when I get home from classl as my class is ending pretty soon. I'm going to get back to you on this. Link to comment
DontGetStung Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Horoscopes are complete nonsense, but I think there is something to real astrology. It's a systematic mapping of stars and other celestial bodies, and you have to look at someone's entire chart to get anything useful. I think there is something to it though don't take it completely at face value. The zodiac predates all known religions, and is found in ancient cultures on every inhabited continent. I'm not sure what my feelings are about the zodiac wholly, but it is clearly a map and a clock. Link to comment
AntiLove_SuperStar Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Rubbish, the lot of it. Link to comment
mad rabbits Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Some scientists have pointed to a scientific basis to astrology, the theory of magnetism. It is expounded in the book Astrology, the Evidence of Science, by the British astronomer Percy Seymour ( he is an astronomer, not an astrologer...) Link to comment
IndigoEye Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Not unless one hits you, anyway. I think that stuff is really effective, but pagan. Lots of politicians are into it. I think Hitler was. New Age stuff which in my study is connected to Satanism/Luciferianism. I sure had some trippy experiences with Reiki-related work last year. Haven't studies Astrology part of it though. Link to comment
IndigoEye Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 ^^^^ I don't believe my fate is determined by burning balls of gas millions of miles away. Thought I had my quote in there. Link to comment
Lucius Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 No, I don't buy into it at all. While I think that there IS a lot more going on in the world around us than most people recognize or realize, I believe that the horoscope phenomenon is driven more by money and the exploitation of the gullible than any science or sincere spirituality. But either way, there are so many, infinitely more compelling ways to determine relationship compatibility than by comparing and contrasting star signs. Link to comment
860CTguy Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 I do think it has entertainment value, but looking back, I've often seen at connection between personality traits of guys i've dated and those that are associated with their sign. Link to comment
thebluest Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I think the main traits of my star sign (Acquarius) coincidentally match up with the main traits of my personality, but beyond that? Nahhh, the day to day predictions suck badly and at best I'm mildly amused by them but more often just find them so... predictable, hah. Link to comment
Ms.Lady Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I don't know about astrology to be honest. I think it's fun but nothing to take too serious.. Though I find it interesting that I get along and make friends mostly with people who are the same astrological sign as me. I find that very interesting. Link to comment
