Inspired by the "Cloud's Gut's" thread. This topic is about astology. What are your thoughts on it? Chinese, Indian, Weastern, or Veldic?
What is your sign and do you feel you accurately portray it? Do you have a question about it? If worse comes to worse, we can devolve this into a "Guess the above poster's sign!!" thread. ;)
I'm rabbit and taurus and that's all I know. ^_^
Libra, year if the Dragon. I'd say I'm pretty balanced morally, plus I have the ability to fly so the Dragon sign suits me as well.
My thoughts on it? Even at the dawn of civilization, mankind saw a need for a cheap pickup line.
Metal Horse, Virgo.
I’m a Sagittarius and a tiger.
Traditional Sagittarius Traits
Optimistic and freedom-loving ü
Jovial and good-humored ü
Honest and straightforward ü
Intellectual and philosophical û
On the dark side....
Blindly optimistic and careless ü
Irresponsible and superficial ü
Tactless and restless ü
I guess that is pretty accurate. This is just an overall generalization; there are periods when the complete reverse is true.
Here is what I found on Wikipedia about the zodiac Tiger (it was not difficult):
The Tiger ( 寅 ), associated with good fortune, power, and royalty, is viewed with both fear and respect. Their protection and wisdom is sought after. The Chinese (and generally all of the East) see the tiger, and not the lion, as the king of beasts.
"A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic." - Joseph Stalin, a Tiger
"I am the state." - Louis XIV of France, a Tiger
"Nothing is more intolerable than to have to admit to yourself your own errors" - Beethoven, a Tiger
As a tiger, I am expected to father a son on the year of the Tiger. I do not want to do this.
Whoops, sorry for using Wingdings. :-[ Lime u’s mean yes and red u’s mean no.
I'm a Virgo and a Ox. I fit the virgo description pretty well I guess.
Fire Tiger and Libra. Also something to do with Yang Metal. Whatever. I don't deal with this stuff, as hardly any of it applies to me. I don't really have a list to show like Mr. Puppet.
Opposite over Hypotenuse :jokey:
Im a Virgo (you can see why)

Aquarian
I'm an Aquarius.
It is common knowledge that the Age of Aquarius has ended, so I don't like to talk about it much.
I don't have a list, but I'll go ahead and say that I've found many Aquarius traits in common with myself, as well as many traits of other signs, so, uh, the signs are pretty irrelevant to me. Juat because I'm friendly doesn't mean I can't be a jackass a lot of the time if it fits my mood.
It'd be easy to predict my Chinese sign, it's on a table mat in every chinese restaurant in America, but I'd rather make ya'll look it up.
You've just ruined the moment...Quote:

A Scorpio and an Ox.
I'm still having issues because now my reigning planet pluto is a dwarf planet and I'm going to resent all you guys who have REAL planets as your leader until I get bored with that and turn my sights to taking over a cooler planet like Mars since it's my sub-planet.
You know, like any scorpio would do. :razz:
I was born in a Year of the Monkey, and am a Gemini (which is ironic, considering I'm a twin).
Taurus obviously, Year of the Rabbit (1987)
Just about everything in the Taurus zodiac matches who I am.

Horse- People born in the Year of the Horse are popular. They are cheerful, skillful with money, and perceptive, although they sometimes talk too much. The are wise, talented, good with their hands, and sometimes have a weakness for members of the opposite sex. They are impatient and hot-blooded about everything except their daily work. They like entertainment and large crowds. They are very independent and rarely listen to advice. They are most compatible with Tigers, Dogs, and Sheep.
Sure, I guess.
Saggitarius- Optimistic and freedom-loving

It's like they read my mind! Except I'm not an Aquarius. :( It's almost as though they picked such a bunch of sufficiently vague personality traits for each sign that any sign can apply to anyone. But this would go against my theory that there are only 12 kinds of people and that which of the 12 slots a given person falls into is determined by the positions of celestial bodies millions of miles away from earth and the various animal shapes assigned to them by primitive ignorant people thousands of years ago. :(
my astrological sign is Taurus.
Positive...
* Dependable
* Practical
* Loyal
* Sensual
* Artistic
* Patient
* Domestic
* Conservative
* Earthy
* Romantic
* Determined
* Supportive
Negative...
* Self-indulgent
* Stubborn
* Unyielding
* Slow-moving
* Argumentative
* Possessive
* Materialistic
* Short-tempered
i agree to all the negative traits to a certain extent.

Scorpio & Rabbit, don't know the others. I've never checked.
Libra and dragon, libras are really sweet persons but we have a terrible habit of putting prices on things! ;) So if people want to know a secret it'll cost! I'm not like that! :rolleyes2 I'm a typical libra!
Unne's post is utter genius; thank you, Unne.
To go along with the flow, however, I will list the attributes of the following zodiac descriptions I fit under:
WESTERN:
http://www.libra.arollo.com/media/icons_libra.gif
Mostly true in my life, though I imagine most people aim to have such a thing remain true in their lives also.Quote:
The goal for Libra is to witness the importance of co-operation and harmony in human life.
This makes me unique, and therefore better. Or something...Quote:
Libra is represented by a pair of scales - the only sign to be represented by an inanimate object.
True, again, for the most part, and for obvious reasons. Although I will admit that I do find it difficult to make decisions, and it ends up causing me to take months, even seasons to make one decision...Quote:
This says something about the Libra objective - to be fair and balanced in everything in a detached way - it is an air sign and therefore seeks an ideal. At its best, Libra can view complex situations, maybe emotionally highly charged ones, and come to a balanced view based on a fair consideration of all the options. However, it may take a while to come off the fence! Come down in favour of one side of the scales and the other side goes up and Libra always seeks to restore balance.
Quote:
Traits of a Libra:
WTF? No I do not - on the highest degree. I loathe being placed in a spotlight and take every means required to remain hidden and away from unnecessary attention.Quote:
* Desires popularity
Couldn't be more true.Quote:
* Loves art
Yes, very much soQuote:
* Neat
I enjoy dressing up, so most definitelyQuote:
* Dresses up for the occassion

* Beauty
* Gifts
* Debates
smurf no.Quote:
* Attention
YesQuote:
* Intellectual conversations
No and noQuote:
* Admiration
* Credit cards
That could mean a few things...Quote:
* Mingling
Sometimes, which doesn't really prove this trait's point...Quote:
* Subtle colours, textures
Who wouldn't?Quote:
* Haute Coutoure
Quote:
Dislikes...
Yes, I hate it. Silence is far superior.Quote:
* Noise
Wrong; I actually enjoy it in some ways. There is a certain lure to chaos.Quote:
* Confusion
Naturally, I agreeQuote:
* Sloppiness
* Ugliness
All YESQuote:
* Dirt
* Pressured decisions
* Being rushed
No, I actually love, and sometimes demand, it.Quote:
* Criticism
CHINESE:
I am a Yin Fire Hare/Rabbit/Bunny/Carrot Eating Humping Machine.
I enjoy debate and politics to an extent, so it may very apply to me, though I have no thoughts of making a career out of being a politician.Quote:
Those following traditional Chinese astrology consider people born in the Year of the Rabbit to make ideal diplomats or politicians.
Spot on, really. It truly is. Quote odd...Quote:
In Chinese astrological thought, a "rabbit person" is graceful, cultured and well-mannered. Although Rabbit people get along well with many people, at heart they are considered to be basically reserved creatures, and are only truly happy when engrossed in some sort of scholarly or intellectual activity.
True, for the most part. If you are indeed a close friend, I will do such things, and I do feel that I make a "nest" of sorts....Quote:
Rabbit people are considered too sensitive for the world around them; they are not able to thrive in competitive or aggressive environments, and are anxious when others force them to take risks. Their inner world is considered too delicate for unsettled or unpredictable situations, and they tend to create a peaceful and comfortable atmospheres--like rabbit dens--instinctively. According to traditional Chinese astrology, this characteristic makes them very hospitable and attentive people, who take care of those around them.
We call these people stiff - and I am one of them.Quote:
The average Rabbit person emphasizes the importance of small details. They pay attention to everything from color, design and furniture to food and conversation. And only when they are sure that everything has been arranged as they wish can these people relax and have fun.
NO.Quote:
Person born in the year of Rabbit often lead a conservative lifestyle where one of the most important things is their security. This quality has a negative side also: opting for safety over risk, they may miss good opportunities. This does not imply that these people are frivolous or irresponsible, for when they truly believe in something, they are serious, persevering and capable.
Dead on, I think...Quote:
Calm as they are, it is not easy to provoke Rabbit people. They are sentimental and compassionate. They can be moved by the personal problems you share with them.
And I am not even going to bother with Vedic: it's simply going to say the same exact abstract, open things that most could apply to their life in one form or another.
Additionally, this post is far too long and makes my eyes hurt. Maybe I ought to cast Editga on it, eh?
I don't like gifts all that much. I will accept them from time to time, but for the most part, I would rather not receive any. Part of the whole "self loathing" thing. It's hilarious.Quote:

I do not see me as the tipical goat though... I see me a lot more like my my Pisces moon sign.
