| Does your Horoscope sign really matter? Posted: 3/25/2007 12:13:37 PM | | there is a massive differences between astrology based on your birthdate and the newspaper horoscope. I always look up someone's sign when I find out their birthday, and I'll stop believing that it matters when Gemini ( for example) stop being exactly how books say they are, and I am no longer a textbook scorpio. But I don't read the stuff in the newspaper it's vague, and usually done by someone that is blowing smoke up people's rear sections. | |

| Does your Horoscope sign really matter? Posted: 7/7/2007 3:22:12 PM | I don't read too much into this stuff, but the two best relationships I have had have been with Aries men. Coincidently, their birthdays are four days apart! One of these men is still in my life and there is an incredible amount of compatibility between us.
The worst relationship I had was with a Scorpio. I'm still shaking my head over that one!!
With female galpals, I can get along with anybody except Geminis (two-faced, lying sneaks and cheats....just my experience with a couple of these. I'm not saying all Gems are like this!!!!!!!) and other Sags (we lock horns!) | |

Does it matter what your Horoscope sign is and if it will be compatible with another?
I do believe in astrology, but I don't think it's matters a whole lot about compatibility with another sign as long as you know how to deal with certain personality/quality traits they may have. I seem to be attractive to geminis and taurus, but seem to attract libras, aquarius, and geminis....gee I wonder why. By the way, capricorn and taurus makes a great couple....and the sex is off the chain, chain, lol.
Gemini here, last relationship was with a Capricorn, and it didn't work out.
This is one that I was really curious about. I'm a Capricorn and for some unknown reason I'm attractive to gemini men. So far, I've been running into quite a few lately. They seem to be crazy if you ask me, but I want to get some input by your experience as to why it didn't work out with you and your capricorn guy? | |

| Does your Horoscope sign really matter? Posted: 7/7/2007 4:05:59 PM | zgirlbeautiful,
I am here to say it does matter...my ex husband was a capricorn and in fact all my ex boyfriends that i just fell completely for were all capricorns but very disasterous...we are definitely not compatible as gemini with capricorn...
Just curious as to how your relationship was disasterous? I'm a capricorn and have a big crush on this gemini male....trying to get a little insight from people who have already dated a gemini/cap. | |
|
| Does your Horoscope sign really matter? Posted: 7/7/2007 4:11:17 PM | I couldn't help noticing that you are gemini.
My ex husband was a gemini and he did have two sides. This was difficult to live with at times.
I am quite surprised about how many profiles I have read that have Gemini as a star sign. Maybe this is just coincidence.
Gemini's do put me off. Soz. | |

| Does your Horoscope sign really matter? Posted: 7/7/2007 4:13:41 PM | | I think it's fun to read persinality traits and compatinility of each sign but the stars and planets hiave changed position in the sky since the development of the zodiac. So knowone is who they think they are. Have someone read you any horiscope and you will find something you can extract that resembles you. | |
|
| Does your Horoscope sign really matter? Posted: 7/7/2007 4:21:15 PM | I put the signs of the zodiac in the same category with superstition.
I just fail to see how being born at a certain time and date can make you more or less compatable with somebody. | |

| Does your Horoscope sign really matter? Posted: 7/8/2007 1:43:28 AM | I am a pisces...and seems I'm supposed to be good with a scorpio, cancer, capricorn perhaps? That seems to hold true...all those with those signs i usually get along with well...virgo is my opposite but we are supposed to be really attracted or something.....it's fun to check out a persons sign....at least it is a conversation piece...would be nice to know who invented that stuff though.....

| Does your Horoscope sign really matter? Posted: 7/8/2007 2:55:51 AM | No disrespect to Geminis.
I think it goes on personality and whether you get on with a person, whatever and whoever they are. I don't believe in horoscopes. | |
|
| Does your Horoscope sign really matter? Posted: 7/8/2007 7:47:41 AM | I don't change my attitude to dating because of a star sign, but because of who you are. However, I have noticed trends in HOW people lie, cheat, etc. based on their star sign, so if I happen to notice that they are doing something that indicates lying, cheating based on how their star sign does it, then I DON'T blow it off! Maybe that's why all my g/fs have been honest. Maybe not. But forewarned is forearmed.
I also learned that you cannot just assume to take what is written in a book at face value. I look for traits, such as virgos seem to want to rule in their kitchen. Everything has its place there, and you can't move one thing a millimetre w/out them going made about it.
am a scorpio.. i've read and know all of the things about scorpios and they all seem to describe me perfectly. the biggest being the stare.. i've never seen a person of another sign have the famed scorpio stare (oh you know if you've seen it before).. i went out with a scorpio a few times.. it was the first time i ever got the stare back.. chilling, but absolutely heart-melting. if i had to start dating again, i would look for a scorpio male. WOW! I have an unusually intense stare. Some people won't look me in the eye. I never knew that other Scorpios have an intense stare until now, though. Thought it was just me!
By the way, I really DO have an intense stare. I'm NOT making it up. Anyone who doesn't believe me, just IM me with your webcam. | |

^^ In full agreement. I think people want to belong to something, to feel unique in this sea of billions. Astrological signs give just that. Just don't take it too serious people - basing who you might date on when they were born!? That's up there with burning Harry Potter books  I've read multiple qualities/traits from different sources on the 12 signs (had an ex who was really becoming a believer in horoscopes) - all of them could apply to me, and to you, and to all of us.
Sad thing is, if astrological signs truly could be applied to us, any such validity has been destroyed beyond acceptance d/t con artists and those who take it way to seriously. | |

| Does your Horoscope sign really matter? Posted: 7/8/2007 8:44:53 AM | Generally, there seem to be some truths, although I think that people can evolve beyond their instincts if they choose to. I'm a Taurean and I can certainly be stubborn, determined and inflexible: sometimes an immovable object and sometimes an irresistable force, but I have learned to pick my battles to some extent. I have immense patience in some things, but very little in others, but I find that as I get older I have greater reserves of patience. The ways in which I don't match are that whilst I used to be very possessive (hands off my stuff, little brother) and perhaps also self-indulgent, I have learned not to be. I don't think I've ever had an instinct for jealousy, however.
My mother told me that Leos were trouble because everything has to revolve around them and I used to think she was being absurd, but now I think she's all too right. I haven't observed a lot of other cliches. Capricorns are supposed to be pessimistic wet-blankets and my mum is, but my special someone is very positive indeed. Libra is supposed to be very placid and that suits a friend of mine down to the ground. She used not to be able to make choices of any kind, nothing seemed to bother her: the sort of person you want to stick pins in just to see if they have feelings at all. Scorpios are a bit dangerous in my opinion, I've been friends with two when I was younger and both were unfortunately compulsive liars. I don't believe that they had any bad intentions, I was just personally upset at being deceived. I think that Scorpios tend to like drama and if there's not enough in their life they invent or chase down some intrigue. A Scorpio friend is an endless drama and problem solving exercise for a peace-loving Taurean. My best friend is an Aries which means lots of head injuries as a child, and that totally fits, but he's grown out of that now!
I see horoscopes as mostly entertainment but the pattern with Leos seems to be so strong (noticed it a lot on the forums) that it's hard to ignore it now. If it matters, then it's a good thing that my special someone is Capricorn, because two such earth signs are a good match. I'm very close to my mum who is also Capricorn, and my special someone's mum is Taurus, which is an odd coincidence. | |

| Does your Horoscope sign really matter? Posted: 7/8/2007 9:03:21 AM | | I am a Scorpio woman born on the cusp, I have a very intense look, especially when getting pics taken, I look for eye contact from others often. I am very passionate and love to be in a relationship but I dont care for arguements and drama detailed situations. However, I am a confidant to many of my friends and they seek me out for advice often, as I tend to be one on the outside looking in. Scorpios are one of the best friends and lovers to have, but try not to cross us too many times, we can really burn you. | |

| Does your Horoscope sign really matter? Posted: 7/8/2007 11:41:43 AM | While I don't live my life according to what my daily horoscope says, I find reading them entertaining. I find that the characteristics of the various signs are usually very descriptive of the people I've encountered through the years.
It's also quite uncanny that the signs I'm supposedly most compatible with happen to be the signs of most of my closest friends! I would never base my choice of friends according to what the astrologists or stars suggest, but, my closest friends fit their sign's descriptions and are the signs the astrologists suggest I'm most compatible with ~ with one or two exceptions.
I'm an Aries and most compatible with Gemini, Leo & Sagittarius. It just so happens that just this morning ~ before viewing this thread, btw ~ I read an article that said Aries and Sagittarius are most compatible and make for a long lasting and loving marriage. My soul mate was a Sag... The article also said that it's very rare that a marriage between an Aries and a Libra is successful.. My first husband is a Libra and the reasons the marriage failed followed the reasons the astrologists gave for the incompatibility of our signs. I only read about that this morning. So I can't blame it on the power of suggestion.
Aries and Gemini are explosively compatible sexually and their union is very successful ~ yummy!! Aries and Leo respect each other and enjoy a steady long term union.
I also find it interesting that the various studies I've read about over the years all seem to coincide in their findings about astrological signs and their characteristics . | |

| Does your Horoscope sign really matter? Posted: 7/7/2009 2:02:16 PM | | yes I think there are definite characteristics that fall into play. I am a libra and my guy is a sagittarius and I tell ya all the zodiacs are aligned so far with what our compatibility states to be true. It says if I can get him to fully commit it will be a match made from the heavens and a love that will make others jealous. I will update and let you know ;D | |

| Does your Horoscope sign really matter? Posted: 7/8/2009 8:45:36 AM | I think I just lost a bit of my faith in humanity by reading this thread. Astrology is completely delusional and ridiculous on so many levels, I don't understand how anyone in their right mind could possibly give it any credit. I am just baffled at how so many people can not only give it credibility but revolve their lives around it. How can so many people dictate their lives based on such a ludicrous superstition? Do you really think that being born July 22th makes you a different person than being born on July 23rd? Do you really believe that everyone in this world who are born in the same 30 day period are the same regardless of their experiences? I know I am not the same person I was five years ago; hell, I'm not even the same person I was one year ago. My personality is constantly being reshape by my experiences and so is everyone else's. Astrology is symptom of people's inability to recognize coincidence; a side effect of our basic instinct to generalize from very little information. With everything science has given us thus far, how can so many people still turn a blind eye to it all. | |
