Zodiac signs, (un)believers?

  • Seriously, horoscopes are only as good as the person who writes them. Some can be shit and have nothing to do with astrology being bullshit but rather someone trying to make a buck off of it and being as vague and generic as possible to hook people in. This is case quite often, though when people are trying to sell you something...no matter what it is.

    I was just talking about these horoscopes in particular - when they say I'm gonna have this kind of trouble, it's easy to blame them when I do have it. :)

    I trust the stars, but not the person interpreting them. :D It's like putting a paragraph of Japanese through a crappy online translator. :p

    :D Ah well I'm not sure I "trust" the stars, I just recognize that I gravitate toward them in times of uncertainty. :) Much like a person prays in desperate times, a part of my brain seeks comfort and some definitive in an uncertain world. I know I do it though and why and also that it will change nothing :D
    NOPE!!!

    I suppose I should have said I don't distrust the stars. Without the astrologers and/or hacks there to tell me what they're saying, how could the stars lie to me? :D

    Huh. Talk about an about-face as far as the tone of these things goes.

    July 9: There's no way anyone will hold you back under these planetary transits. You need to be out and about, exploring what life has on offer today. If your gut feeling points you to a potential treasure trove - either romantically or professionally, go full steam ahead. Your intuition will be correct today.

    Things are looking up, I guess. :)

    Well, do you trust/don't distrust the astrologers or astrology?

    I distrust most of the newspaper/magazine ones, cos I really have no idea who's writing what. The site you showed me has been pretty much spot-on, and the guy seems to know what he's talking about. So I guess my trust depends on how trustworthy they seem.

    Did that even make sense? :p

    I am a big believer. I am a Pisces. I'm sensitive, romantic, and I like my own space and I love being near the water. I can't even imagine not living near a body of water.

    gemini/cancer cusp, and if I have a real reading, it's right on. But newspaper, magazines, etc suck.

    PM me your birthdate and I will send you a reading out of a book that will freak your mind.

    Yeah... It's gonna be a fun experiment. :D

    And even though it might piss Abook off a little bit (and she knows I'd never try :)), it really makes me want to get back to writing mock horoscopes again. :p

    So the concept of astrology isn't what you distrust but rather the horoscope writers?

    I don't mind either way what you choose to believe, you know that. :) I don't think you're the bestest because of your belief or disbelief in astrology. :D I'm just wondering what stance you have on the matter now, if you have even decided at all...since we talk about these things all the time. When we have spoken about these things in the past I had always taken it that you didn't believe in it, anyways. So I'm just curious where you are now on the subject after reading more into it.

    Will you knock it off with the pissing me off stuff! :p I disagree with you all the time....it's nothing new. :D

    Oh please do! :D I would love to read those! :D (not to piss anybody off, I just love mock horoscopes! :D )

    Clearly, I'm still very unsure about what I believe. :p But I definitely don't trust the free newspaper horoscopes I read, because it's in a free newspaper that's full of crap anyway. :p This website has me at least considering that there's something to it. :)

    They're the ones me and a friend did months ago. I'll probably add a few over the next week or so.

    I take my Pisces-ness seriously! :D I'm proud of it. I wouldn't want to be any other sign. Except maybe like a Sagittarius or something. That's a nice sign.
    Virgo is opposite Pisces so we get along with them very well ;)

  • I'm an Aquarian...

    Does anyone know the Aquarian traits? I don't know if i'm a typical one or not :confused:
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    Does anyone know the Aquarian traits? I don't know if i'm a typical one or not :confused:

    Aquarius

    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.
