Just wondering...Star signs....

[MrOzGuy]

Hey all, something just came to mind...Reading elsewhere that supposedly Geminis are supposedly more predisposed towards being bisexual...and I wondered if that has some weighting in the matter...

I for one am actually a Gemini...

So what is your star sign???

[proseros]

.II.

Touche'! Deux Amores

Actually Libras and Gemini inherantly.
Scorpio and Capricorn as well - Though after another manner.

[DiamondDog]

I don't believe in any type of astrology. It's all bullshit and coincidence. Just call me Edmund. :)

[jeancarleo]

Not true. I believe in some qualities but u have to deeply study them because everyperson is different so not everything they say about your astrological sign is true. I'm a Leo.

[MrOzGuy]

Not true. I believe in some qualities but u have to deeply study them because everyperson is different so not everything they say about your astrological sign is true. I'm a Leo.

Yup it also most certainly goes much further than just a primary sun sign, it also comes down to where the planets where positioned when you were born, this in turn can create a much more personal touch to your astro chart.

Yes indeed. There are many factors. Just check out astrological websites and do your research.

I know it's not because of what sign you are. That's just not true;)

Well I'm a cancer, if that helps...
I do have all the good traits and the bad traits attached to the crab. I have a close friend, and he is married to a taurus and they have a good relationship he's a fellow cancerian.... :2cents:

[Uneedhands]

One of the first things we talked about in first year Astronomy. Here's something from my textbook which pretty much sums up my thoughts about "new agers" politely...

"ASTROLOGY
Seen from Earth, the planets move gradually eastward along the ecliptic, but they don't follow the ecliptic exactly. Also, each travels at it's own pace and seems to speed up and slow down at various times. To the ancients, this complex motion reflected the moods of the sky gods, and astrology was born.
Ancient Astrologers defined a zodiac, a band 18 degrees wide centered on the ecliptic, as the highway the planets follow. They devided this band into 12 segments named for the constellations along the ecliptic - the signs of the zodiac. A horoscope shows the location of the sun, moon, and planets among the zodiacal signs with respect to the horizon at the moment of a persn's birth as seen from that longitude and latitude. Even if Astrology worked, the generalized horoscopes published in newspapers and tabloids can't have been calculated accurately for individual readers.
Astrology buffs argue that a person's personality, life history, and fate are revealed in his or her horoscope, but the evidence contradicts this belief. Astrology has been tested many times, and it just doesn't work. Believers however, don't give up on it. Thus, astrology is a superstition that depends on blind belief and not a science that depends on evidence. (window on science 2-3)
One reason astronomers find astrology irritating is that it has no link to the physical world. For example, PRECESSION HAS MOVED THE CONSTELLATIONS SO THAT THEY NO LONGER MATCH THE ZODIACAL SIGNS. Whatever sign you were "born under", the sun was probably in the previous zodiacal constellation. In fact, IF YOU WERE BORN ON OR BETWEEN nOVEMBER 30 AND dECEMBER 17, THE SUN WAS PASSING THROUGH A CORNER OF THE NONZODIACAL CONSTELLATION OPHIUCHUS, AND YOU HAVE NO OFFICIAL ZODIACAL SIGN.* Furthermore, astronomers like to point out, there is no mechanism by which the planets could influence us. The gravitational influence of a doctor who is delivering a baby is many times more powerful than the gravitational influence of the planets.
The arguments in the preceding paragraph actually miss the point. Astrology is not related to the physical world at all. It does not matter what constellation the sun occupies, because astrology devides the zodiac into equal mathematical sections, sometimes called houses, and it does not matter to the believer in astrology that the constellations don't match. Furthermore, the physical mechanism is beside the point for the true believer. Astrology is notso much an astronomical superstition as it is a mathematical superstition.
Astrology makes sense only when we think of the world as the ancients did. They believed in multiple sky gods whose moods altered events on Earth. They believed in mystical influences between natural events and human events. The ancients did not understand natural forces such as gravity as the mechanisms that cause things to happen, and thus they did not believe in cause and effect as we do. If a house burned, they might conclude that it caught fire because it was cursed and not because someone was careless with an oil lamp.
Modern science left astrology behind centuries ago, but it survives as a fascinating part of human history - an early attempt to understand the meaning of the sky. Modern astronomers have a low tolerance for astrological superstition, yet the motions of the heavenly bodies do affect our lives. The motion of the sun produces the seasons, and, as we will see in chapter 3, the moon governs the tides. In addition, small changes in Earths orbit may partially control global climate.

*the author of this book was born on December 14 and thus has no astrological sign. An astronomer friend claims that the author must therefore have no personality...."

"WINDOW ON SCIENCE 2-3
Astronomers have a low opinion of astrology not so much because it is groundless but because it pretends to be a science. It is a pseudoscience, from the prefix pseudo, meaning false. There are many examples of pseudoscience, and it is illuminating to consider the difference between pseudoscience and science.
A pseudoscience is a set of beliefs that appear to be based on scientific ideas but that fail to obey the most basic rules of science. For example, some years ago a fad arose in which people placed objects under pyramids made of paper, plastic, wire, and so on. The claim was that the pyramidal shape would focus cosmic forces on anything inside and so preserve fruit, sharpen razor blades, and do other miraculous things. Many books promoted this idea, but simple experiments showed that any shape would protect a peice of fruit from airborn spores and allow it to dry without rotting. Likewise, any shape would allow oxidation to improve the cutting edge of a razor blade. In short, experimental evidence contradicted the claim. Nevertheless, supporters of the theory declined to abandon or revise their claims. Thus, the fad of pyramid power was a pseudoscience.
One characteristic of a pseudoscience is that it appeals to our needs and desires. Thus, some pseudoscientific claims are self-fulfilling. For example, some people bought pyramidal tents to put over their beds and thus improve their rest. While there is no logical mechanism by which such a tent could effect a sleeper, because people wanted and expected the claim to be true they slept more soundly. Many pseudoscientific claims involve medical cures, ranging from magnetic bracelets and crystals to focus spiritual power to astonishingly expensive and illegal treatments for cancer. Logic is a stranger to pseudoscience, but human fears and needs are not.
Astrology is a pseudoscience. Over the centuries, astrology has been tested repeatedly, and no correlation has been found. But it survives, and it's supporters disregard any evidence that it doesn't work. Like all pseudosciences, astrology is not open to revision in the face of contradictory evidence. Furthermore, astrology fulfills our human need to believe that there is order and meaning to our lives. It may comfort us to believe that our sweetheart rejected us because of the motions of the planets rather than to admit that we behaved badly on our last date. Comfort aside, astrology is a poor basis for life decisions.
Human nature and human needs probably insure that pseudoscientific beliefs will continue to plague us like emotional viruses propagating from person to person. But if we recognize them for what they are, we can more easily guide our lives by rational principles and not by giving credit for our successes and blame for our failings to the stars."

I do not take this stuff serious. I find it fascinating , but like most religious things can find no particular attachment to it.

(shrugs shoulders)
I was however married to someone who did/does take this all very serious and let me tell you, you have no idea how much your post hit the nail on the head with her.

The other thing is that Astrology fulfills another particular niche in our society. It serves as an icebreaker, allowing people to get to know each other.

Anyways, Cheers

[innaminka]

Well, I'm a Scorpio, and according to all the "guides" I possess almost none of the supposedly Scorpio chracteristics.
Which really is just another way of saying the Star Signs are fun and a good opening line, but as far as factual goes.......... LOL

[mistymockingbird]

I'm a Gemini to my core. Bisexual. I'm a switch. Moody. Those mood swings cycle pretty quickly. Adaptable. Highly skilled with communication. Restless. Easily bored. Like to multi-task. A free soul. Hate being tied down. Curious about EVERYTHING.

Put as much stock into it as you want.

[Not2str8]

Capricorn here, but according to the personality traits assigned to each sign, I seem to be more of an Aquarius. Born just a little too late to have been a hippie, but I sure woulda fit in.

[buck-rogers]

I'm a scorpio, though I've never read my horoscope and thought it was eerily accurate. I had a teacher in school that taught me how it all works (astrology that is) but like most of school its all a blur:).

[wanderingrichard]

Hey all, something just came to mind...Reading elsewhere that supposedly Geminis are supposedly more predisposed towards being bisexual...and I wondered if that has some weighting in the matter...

So what is your star sign???

well, i guess then it was written in the stars for me.. i'm a gemini son of a gemini..:eek:

[Bluebiyou]

I don't know which one I am today Sybil,

I must be a Gemini!
:tongue:On target with me!:tongue:

[bigirl_inwv]

I'm also a Gemini. And although I don't really get into astrology...it is kinda weird how my sign describes me to a T. lol

[Doggie_Wood]

I am a Capricorn, born on the Sagitarian cusp with Venus rising, oh wait, or was it Mercury going down? Or was it Mercury rises when Venus goes down :bigrin: Hell, I can't remember.


:doggie:

[Annika L]

Capricorn also, but right on the Aquarius cusp, which seems to have had some effect on me (assuming any effect at all...I'm a skeptic of everything, and yet somehow, also a believer in everything!)

Annika,
More than your post I like your signature (quotation).

But pursuant to the subject at hand.
Astrology - sure as hell worked for the Reagans! Viva la 80s!

[LakeCountyBiLady]

Sagittarius, the ninth Sign of the Zodiac, is the home of the wanderers of the Zodiac. It's not a mindless ramble for these folks, either. Sagittarians are truth-seekers, and the best way for them to do this is to hit the road, talk to others and get some answers. Knowledge is key to these folks, since it fuels their broad-minded approach to life. The Sagittarian-born are keenly interested in philosophy and religion, and they find that these disciplines aid their internal quest. At the end of the day, what Sagittarians want most is to know the meaning of life, and if they accomplish this while feeling free and easy, all the better.

It's the Archer which represents Sagittarians, although in this case it's a Centaur (half man, half beast) which is flinging the arrows. Centaurs were the intellectuals of ancient Roman mythology, and Sagittarians are quick to consider themselves their modern-day counterparts. Those born under this Sign are clear thinkers and choose to look at the big picture most of the time. They also like it when others agree with their well-thought-out point of view. The alternative to this, for better or for worse, is a Sag who can become argumentative and blunt. That's not to say that these folks are intransigent -- Archers will listen to what others have to say, in keeping with the Mutable Quality assigned to this Sign. Indeed, Sagittarians are enthusiastic consumers of information (and enthusiastic in general), the better to get the answers they need. It's also a good idea to give Sags lots of room to explore their world. Once these folks start to feel hemmed in, they'll become impatient and difficult.

[Annika L]

Truth is there is no indication in astrology that points to whether or not a sign can make someone gay, and I myself am a firm supporter that astrology can define a persons character and well being. Science is the only thing that can really cover the mental and gene aspects of what determines a person to become gay/bi/les. Your zodiac sign alone will not determine this because you can conduct a survey on as many homosexuals/bisexuals/lesbians and it is likely you will find a broad variety. :2cents:

[elian]

I've always been partial to Orion myself, but I'm pretty flexible. In all Siriusness I think the sign that best describes me is "Interested Persons Apply Within"

I can't speak about the validity of Astrology, I can say that the description of the Sagittarian temperament does seem to fit my personality. Of course, with words of sufficiently round girth the same might apply to any individual looking for a way to fit into the puzzle.

I can only say that I've experienced many peculiar coincidences, enough to make me believe that there is more to the way the world works beyond random chance and perhaps beyond what our current science can really measure.

Paranoid, delusional schizophrenics ALL say they don't they? Of course I've often thought to myself that you have to be at least a LITTLE crazy in this world in order to keep from going INSANE.

Maybe I am being too hard on myself, Einstein was one of the greatest of human minds and to some degree he also acknowledged existence of a power he could not see.

...Sounds like a great teacher who made excellent use of taxpayers $$. The statements that the horro-blinder, and the charlatans who push it, are vague blanket statements that could describe any human. How could you think it's eerily acurate if you've never read it anyway?

[Gemini25]

Gemini here! born at the begging of June and ruled by Mercury. I am a total Gemini everything describing my sign fits me perfectly.

I was also born in the year of the Dog acording to the Chinese astrology, and the description there fits me as well.

Well as far as astrology goes.

It's TWOO.:eek:

I've studied it fairly extensively. I could give you the long long boring list of reasons why it's fairly accurate IF applied correctly, but I won't.

Suffice to say, that this was a "science" of a group of people who realized that they were witnessing a certain phenomina and did their best to find the facts to fit what they were witnessing.

It doesn't matter that it has nothing to do with planets. I'd likely have to go into some quantum physics junk to accurately describe what it IS, but check this out.

There are twelve basic personality types. (in psychology) There are twelve basic personality types in astrology. Each personality or representative sign is actually a complex combination of three other subsets. Any one of the three of those subsets can be dominant, recessive or act in combination with the other two.

Most astrology is easily dismissed because it is not correctly addressed.
Each person has a Sun sign, (the masculine) the moon sign (feminine) and the RISING sign (I jokingly refer to this as the holy ghost)

so here we have psychology= id ego superego

or religion=father son holy ghost

or astrology= sun,moon, ascendant

hmmm even the descriptors come in three's. weird huh?

I'm a Scorpio. Scorps are divided into three types even within their sign.

The Eagle, the grey lizard and of course the stinger scorpion.

The Eagle trys to rise above, uses his energy to love and heal.
The Scorpion uses his energy to keep score, and exacts heavy damage to those who cross him.
The Grey lizard is basically wounded, and turns his energy upon himself in a negative way.

All of this is, of course WESTERN astrology. There is also EASTERN astrology which centers on the moon instead of the sun. (out of the principle that all creation comes forth from yin energy)

It has been my observation that bisexuality has no favorites overall in the zodiac, with possibly the exception of being more prevalent GENERALLY in the water and earth signs.

anyway....

it's REALLY complicated stuff. Some of it is actually astoundingly accurate.

but one thing is for certain......if you're a scorpio, you LIKE sex. A LOT.

So how does this explain that astrology is somehow valid or truthful at all?

What does being a scorpio or having scorpio as one of your planets have anything to do with enjoying sex at all?

Please do. I find nothing boring about trying to eradicate ignorance, and go right ahead with Quantum physics if you like. It's one of my favorite subjects, but I can't see it being relevent. Astrology can't be applied "correctly" because it is based on incorrect assumptions. It's funny because my professor (head of the astronomy department) warned me about this kind of weak arguement ...
..."It doesn't matter that it has nothing to do with the planets. I'd likely have to go into some quantum physics junk to accurately describe what it IS, but check this out. ..."
It doesn't matter that the foundation of the entire scam, everything it's based on, is wrong?!
Then we have a couple paragraphs of stone-age babeling about mysterious unobtainium energy and spirit animals chasing sex- starved bugs through the sky... and we get to
"it's REALLY complicated stuff. Some of it is actually astoundingly accurate."
The real sky is much more complicated. The people who invented that old superstitious crap had no idea what's out there compared to whats known now. It's not complicated. It's just wrong. It's ignoring an ass-load of data. The things that are accurate are too vague, and applicable to anyone.
"but one thing is for certain......if you're a scorpio, you LIKE sex. A LOT."
All the archetypal traits supposedly associated with the constellations (which are nothing more than perceived patterns) could apply to any human being. I also like sex alot, but I'm accused of being an Aquarius. ...even though when I do the math I find that the sun was not in front of that part of the sky at the time of my birth because the people who dreamt up the zodiac didn't know about the 26000 year precession cycle.
I beleive there are definate character traits hidden within our genes, not the sky. I LOVE sex, even though I'm no Scorpio. You'll never see why it's wrong if all you read about it is the dogma. Try taking any Astrological situation that you have already done the work on, like yourself or your kid or whatever, and then start doing research, cross referencing everything about it. If your honest about it, you will at least agree that it is a matter of faith not fact.
Get your "quantum physics junk" out, it'll be fun.. I'm just waiting for someone to try to factualize this with some sort of "proof" ... I'm not asking for dogma or opinions, get the work out. Let's go through one of these calculations and destroy it.

I had asked an astrologer if my chart said anything about sexual orientation and he made the observation that all my male planets were in female signs and all my female planets were in male signs.

Another one thought that since the moon was rising at the time I was born that I would be more emotionally inclined to women.

29 degrees scorpio, 5 planets in Sag, rising Capricorn and moon in Cap.

Pisces - water sign and I live 10 min from the ocean, always been into fish / sea ever since I was a kid ... go figure

I don't believe in any type of astrology. It's all bullshit and coincidence. Just call me Edmund. :)

Is that Edmund as in scientific catalog or as in astronomer?

[vittoria]

I'm a Leo with a Scorpio rising and a Sagittarius moon.

So look all that up, see what it means.

I wonder what the stars say about Cancer and Sagitarious? (sp?) I've been told that, as a Cancer, a Libra's my best match. But the love of my life is aSagitarious and I can't imagine anyone better suited to me in every way!

I think astrology's "fun enough to believe in." I'm an Aries.

According to this website on astrology, there "enough" truth in what they say about me and sex.
