Zodiac Signs

[swissmiss04]

Do some of you think (the ones who don't believe in horoscopes, like me) that horoscopes become self-fulfilling prophecies? Like "Oh, I'm a _________. I should ______." Or if a relationship doesn't work out it's, "Well, he was a _______ and I'm not compatible w/ them." Nevermind that he may have been a cheater, a dumbass, or just not your type...

I believe in horoscopes to the point that they define certain things about our personalities and obviously certain personalities work better together than others. I would never use someone's sign as an excuse for their behaviour. So if a relationship doesnt work out for whatever reason I don't blame it on the signs, even though it may help to explain why the two of you were not compatiable to a certain extent.

I think you also need to take this stuff with a grain of salt. For instance, I'm a Cancer and I dated a Sagittarius and that relationship was just bad for the most part. I found out later that Cancers and Sagittarius' are bad matches. Obviously this is not true across the board since it has worked for others like Rio_Kohitsuji. It just depends on what you can put up with.

Keep in mind that your Rising sign as well as your moon sign are vitally important to assess for compatiblity.

Your rising sign dictates your personality.

And then where your planets are placed is also a factor.

I'll buy it. I also believe in a lot of other paranormal/odd stuff, because it's really interesting. That's supposedly one characteristic of Scorpios, and I'm such a Scorpio it isn't funny. The jury's still out on horoscopes, though, and I'm still not sure about your signs determining how a relationship will work out since there's so many other factors involved. I have never dated anyone who was supposedly a "good" match (I think Taurus, Cancer, or Capricorn are generally supposed to be the most compatible ones for me), but I have dated an Aries, which is supposedly the absolute worst match for a Scorpio ever and it was a complete disaster. We just did not mesh well, at all. I didn't realize we weren't supposed to be compatible until a long time after, though, but it explains a lot.

I don't really believe it, but sometimes I hear the descriptions and think "wow, what an uncanny coincidence!"

I have had somewhat bad luck with Leos and Cancers, but I don't think I've dated enough of them to form an opinion that they are categorically bad for me. Better luck with Sagitarrius and Capricorn.

I'm a sagitarius.

as others have said, i believe in astrological compatibility to a point. my parents were capricorn and gemini, and they're divorced. since i'm a capricorn like my mother, she used to warn me about geminis being two-faced. my first bf was a gemini and it did not work because he had two sides. my second bf was a taurus and we seemed to work well together. we broke up for reasons out of our control. and my last bf was an aquarius, which apparently can go either way. and it went the bad way... oh well.

but all in all, i use it as a helpful source of information. would i not date a man because he was incompatible with me, prolly not. but would i keep sensors on and tread very slowly, yes.

Well that makes sense, we get along famously!

[maggieaxid]

I such a typical virgo! However, they always say I should be with a Taurus, I don't think I have ever dated one! For some reason I am always drawn to sagitarius' (sp?) they were my longest relationships.
I have dated geminis, but i can't deal with them. they aren't structured enough for a virgo like me!
I have also dated a scorpio- not a good mix at all!!!

i don't actually believe in all this astrology stuff, but sometimes there is a little truth involved in it!

i definitely think there's something to them.........my sister has this GREAT love-signs book, and looking back through past relationships, it totally related.....but who knows for sure.

a great astology link that i posted in cool sites is also here. i think there's something to it, but i would never not date someone based on their sign....but i might be more on the look-out if i knew our signs weren't "compatible".....maybe.....but i am also a glutton for punishment.

I don't live or die by my horoscope (in fact, I don't check it often), but I do believe that I fit the description of a Gemini - perfectly.

However, my husband is also a Gemini....he is born on the cusp of being a Taurus, and while I will sometimes see a Gemini trait or two in him (although rarely), he's definitely not incompatible with me. He definitely isn't a Taurus either. He's just.....there.

[chideltjen]

i'm a leo. I have heard I get along great with Sagitarius' and whatnot but I always end up clashing with them. I have had a few capricorn relationships and those don't last long.

And my last bf was a sag/scorpio mix (born on the cut off day)... that relationship was a mess.

i tend to get along with guys that are cancers. i know a lot of them.

throw his chart....you can either go to a psychic (while entertaining, it's like $50 and no thanks), OR get it online. i am also on the cusp btwn leo and virgo.....i'm a virgo, HOWEVER, i was supposed to be born in july making me a leo. i've read the virgo description, and it's very little like me.....however, when i threw my chart, i saw that my rising sign was libra, and every sign it went through (ascending, blah, blah) was RIGHT ON me. freaky. so, throw his chart....you have to know his birthdate, the time he was born, and where he was born to do it. astro.com

My thoughts exactly. And the sideways 69 thing. Grrr.


As for believing in the horoscope thing, I have no idea even what signs are supposed to be compatible to Cancer, so I don't know if I believe in it or not. I am definitely a textbook Cancer, though.

Now if only we had a cute name instead of Cancer!!!
