I have a book on Taurus which I purchased a while back just for fun, based on the study of several Taureans, both men and women and was totally amazed at the intimate details it revealed about my personality; things most people don't even know about me. Now, will every Taurus prove to be the same way, probably not but all the Taureans I know (and I know a few, both men and women) share the same personality traits and there also seems to be a slight difference (but the same difference) regarding April Taureans vs. May Taureans and males vs. females. Is this coincidence? I don't see it that way but we can agree to disagree since all opinions are valid.

But if it only describes some Taureans then what is the point?
I mean, for example, I'm a Capricorn. I'm very stubborn, but I'm not organized at all. If I want to believe in the zodiac I'd probably say, well I'm such a Capricorn and if it weren't for my ADD I'd be really really organized too. So I've created an explanation.
But the real question is, how do constellations which are random groupings of stars that kind of looked like certain beings to the Ancient Greeks (for the Ptolemeic zodiac) have any effect on the personalities of people born during 'their' months.
It's not surprising you see patterns, because as I said, that's what the brain does. It's really common, but that doesn't mean there's actually something TO the zodiac.
Sorry, it's just that differing opinions don't come into play when it's about evidence and science. If you want to believe in it, fine, but it's essentially religious.
