    i just got on the googles and did a search. it said aquarians were organised. i had to laugh my arse off at this cause i am far from organised 99.9% of the time. im more about going with the easy flow(or sometimes against it), itll get done when i do it, and fuck societal perceptions. a lot of the other stuff was applicable though. plus i just read my season(if you can believe that) is winter. this is totally true for me. :)

    Well, there are certainly things that are absolutely me, but some that are not. Like I should be in to Pageantry and fashion. I've always has distaste for pageants and I have no fashion sense. My friends help me in that area.

    Also, some negatives are dogmatic, intolerant, and materialistic. I despise these traits. Nothing I dislike more than intolerance and dogma.

    My hubby sign describes him exactly, though.

    No doubt! Although, perhaps my distaste has to do with my mother that felt they were degrading to women. She pushed intellect and education. She felt it was an insult for a women to get by on solely her looks opposed to her intellect.

    I'm a Leo. According to wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_(astrology) Leo's are extroverts. However, I have been typed as an introvert in personality tests. I think I'm both. When I'm in a social situation I tend to be very talkative (angelica, you know this about me ;)). But I prefer solitude to social situations. It also says it is a masculine sign which is interesting since people here think I'm a guy until they get to 'know' me.


    I didn't know you were a Leo, either T! My sign, Sagittarius, gets along best with Leos and Aries. And is also able to form strong bonds with Aquarians and Libras supposedly. Hippiemom and Collin are also Leos. My best friend Missy is an Aries. Rhino and Hoon are Libras. Steppenwolf and Roland are Aquarians...I thought it was pretty neat that so many of the people that I connect with turned out to be signs that are naturally supposed to get along well with me. :) I immediately look up people's signs now to see if I guessed right. :p

    I think my sign describes me pretty friggin well and I used to be very skeptical and dismissive of astrology. The more I read on it and looked up people's sign traits, the more I started to see how accurate they really are. Now I'm a believer but to each their own.

    Sagittarius:

    is a mutable sign http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutable_sign

    Associated traits:

    Astrologers broadly agree that the following are characteristics associated with Sagittarius:

    * witty conversationalist
    * freedom loving / free-spirited
    * idealistic / believing
    * moral
    * intelligent / intellectual
    * positive / optimistic
    * honest / sincere
    * reliable
    * enterprising / ambitious
    * energetic
    * versatile
    * adventurous
    * independent
    * generous
    * temperamental
    * impatient

    Likes and dislikes
    Attributes:


    Ideal Careers - Ideal careers for Sagitarians include teaching, the law, theology and religion, politics, public relations or advertising, anything related to travel, science and research.

    Likes - travel and adventure, honesty, justice and law, freedom, meaning, intellectual compatibility, taking risks, flirting, socializing.

    Dislikes - routine and chores, being constrained, being tied down, being forced to do things, being doubted, having to explain oneself, being forced to make promises, being bothered by little details.

    Well, being from the deep south, I thought of this kind of pageantry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beauty_contest

    But you are correct as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_pageant

    If I had to choice I'd go with the Medieval one, at least that sounds more interesting............I'm always up for a good round of jousting! ;)

    interesting.

    Thanks for putting me onto the cusp thing...I've only recently gotten into horoscopes and have glossed over cusps thus far. I'm seeing a lot of relevent horoscope patterns around me. I'm born on April 22, and therefore am on the Aries/Taurus cusp. I've been hanging out with this guy who is an Aries, and have been looking at it as he being Aries, and myself as Taurus, and really it takes on a different slant when I take into consideration my own Arien touch.

    Peace.


    I have always thought you were an Aries! You seem a lot like one to me. :)

    whoa

    thanks for sharing that very cool website.

    i have to admit i got a little freaked reading especially this part for certain things that are happening for me in my life right now. !

    wow

    Your star sign is probably one of the most misunderstood signs of the zodiac. It has had a pretty bad rap over the years, but that’s just because what people don’t understand, they tend to fear. :eek: That cool aloofness is just the surface of your complex nature, and is by no means bad. Below the surface of your cool exterior is a scorching and passionate fire. You know it and others sense it too.

    http://www.astrology.com.au/12signs/index.asp

    Here's mine -

    Your personal ruling planets are Neptune and the Moon.

    You have a stoical personality - when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Your born leadership qualities and sometimes blustering approach hide a much deeper and emotional sensitivity.

    The Moon rules your fifth solar house and indicates children and issues related to them may become a focal point in your life. Curb your ambition and don't blind yourself to the needs of young people on your path and look into the deeper meaning of what life and your Karma actually present to you.

    Your lucky colours are cream and white and green.

    Your lucky gems are moonstone or pearl.

    Your lucky days of the week are Monday, Thursday and Sunday.

    Your lucky numbers and years of important change are 2, 11, 20, 29, 38, 47, 56, 65, 74.

    Famous people born on your birthday include Lawrence Welk, Harold Wilson, Rupert Murdoch, Rami Jaffee and Thora Birch.

    this is what it said about me.


    You were fortunate enough to be born under the humanitarian zodiac sign of Aquarius. You are therefore ruled by electric and progressive Uranus making you forward thinking and self-directed. You’re a born revolutionary so no one can tell you how to live your life. Your clear-cut approach makes it perfectly clear just how differently you wish to experience life.

    You just don’t want to be like others and take pride in the fact that you’re so unique. Even if you’re occasionally criticised for your cheeky attitude, you’d far prefer to be self-sufficient rather than being a sheep in society who follows everyone else’s lead.

    You are a zesty individual, having tremendous amounts of energy. You are determined and forceful in how you deal with people. You want to express your ground-breaking spirit in everything you do but unfortunately you won’t always able to break free of the limits that are imposed upon you. Some Aquarians learn through their family life that before you can be the master of your own destiny, you have to serve. In some extreme cases Aquarians are controlled and dominated by others throughout the formative period of their lives which is why it’s so difficult for them to submit to others.

    If you’re not able to live your life on your own terms, you’ll dream and aspire to a future time when you can fulfil your destiny to the fullest in exactly the way you want. You have very inspirational views of the world and even if your opinions are too different, you’ll always be respected for speaking your mind honestly.

    You share your zodiac sign with many other grand personalities. Like them you are attracted to social issues. You like to be involved in groups and organisations that make a difference in society. Even in the smallest of ways, you will try to make some difference in this world. If you look at Aquarians like Oprah Winfrey, Boris Yeltsin and entertainers like Peter Gabriel and John Travolta, they are deeply interested in changing the awareness of people to make the world a better place.

    Because you have great organisational and communication skills you work really well with others. You have your own ideas and solutions to problems. Others are surprised at your quirky approach and how you resolve these issues.

    You’re investigative, curious and extremely active mentally. Your thinking mind rarely, if ever, stops. You need to learn when to shut down as your brain can become overactive, especially at night.

    Communication is your speciality and you relate well to the world. You will continue to enlarge your active personality so don’t try to suppress your true character – just express it prudently. You’re vigorous in the way you present your ideas so there’s never a dull moment around you. There’s often someone who wants to challenge you, especially if they happen to have a much more conventional way of doing things. You’ll be more than happy to challenge that taking great pleasure in proving them wrong.

    Uranus, your planetary ruler, is abrupt and breathtaking by nature and will fill your life with plenty of unanticipated surprises - good and not so good. You like it like this and the unexpected is something you thrive upon! Even if you have a stable home or work situation you like to shake things up from time to time to keep everyone on their toes. Still, you’re very loyal when it comes to your most personal relationships.

    You like to create a comfortable environment in which to live. Venus influences your domestic sphere so you have a flair for design and colour. Your surroundings mirror your unique character. Others are amazed at the way you decorate your home. There’ll be nothing ordinary about it, that’s for sure.

    Your far-reaching attitudes overwhelm your friends sometimes and they sometimes refer to you as harmlessly “mad”. Salvador Dali the famous painter once remarked about himself - "The only difference between me and a madman is that I'm not mad!" Even if he wasn't an Aquarius - this sums you up perfectly.

    You embrace anything technological as Aquarius governs modern appliances. You are inventive and research orientated and certainly aren't a technophobe. If you’re an Aquarian male, some may even call you the “gadget man”. You like to be up to date with the latest and greatest handheld devices, computers and other audio or visual entertainment equipment.

    You find it difficult to uphold relationships with those who aren’t prepared to evolve in the same way as yourself. Due to this you’ll be continually re-inventing yourself, trying to stimulate your friends to be better. Your rigid opinions bring you into disagreement with others. One of the laws of power suggests that you must act like others, but don’t always openly air your thoughts. It’s a good idea for you to keep some of their sweeping ideals tucked away until you test the water first.

    There’s a universal quality about you. Although you appear aloof and detached you're inwardly sensitive and caring. You prefer to associate with people who share the same diverse views on life. Your life will almost certainly never be drab. You are able to embrace anything new including music and fashion. This is why you’ll always be young at heart.
