    I'm gonna be a Pisces. That way, we can title the experiment "Astrology: A Pisces Hit, or a Piece o' Shit?" :D

    Right so you're a Libran and you're going to become a Pisces. :) (I'm ignoring the toilet humor :p )

    And I'm a Virgo and I still haven't decided who I want to be for the experiment. What website are we going to work off? We should probably be in agreeance about that and we'll need one which has a daily horoscope.

    Anybody got any suggestions about a good site? :)
    NOPE!!!

    How about the one Abook already linked to? That seemed to nail me as a Libran, so it'd be interesting to see if it does the same when I'm a Pisces. :)

    I just read both signs horoscopes for today and the Libran sounds a lot like things you've mentioned to me recently. :)

    What do you think about the Pisces horoscope?

    Yeah, the Libran one was actually fucking precise - remind me to talk to you about that soon. :o Pisces was way off.

    I hardly ever read my horoscope...unless I just happen upon it in a paper or magazine somewhere. I like to be surprised by life so what would be the point whether it was true or not? If you read your horoscope first thing in the morning and it doesn't sound too good for you, then you might start looking for bad things to happen everywhere you look and that's just not a good way to go about things. :)


    I just checked and I think the one on that site for me today is pretty close to how things have been going for me lately...so that's kinda neat.

    .....and will do. :)

    Hehe... I may have pm'ed you before you got the chance to remind me. :p

    On our train ride into college, me and my friends like to compare horoscopes, and laugh at how accurate or wildly wrong some of the ideas are. Especially when there are two newspapers on offer with two contradictory horoscopes. :D

    I have a friend of 16 or 17 years now who's a Virgo, and that description is nothing but wrong. :p

    Yeah, horoscopes CAN be complete bullshit depending on who is writing it and what they know or what their purpose is even...some are just too vague and are written by opportunists and some are just random sounding crap, imo.

    That said, I have read some that were very accurate. I don't know if horoscopes are the most scientific way to discredit astrology.

    Newspaper horoscopes are to astrology what Fox News is to... well, news. Some perverted, wrong version of it. :p

    This is the guy from that site I linked you to and he has videos for a basic generalized reading for each sign. Mine sounded pretty dead on, actually.

    Astrology falls in to the same category as religion with me.

    It's all crap.
    my thoughts exactly.

    i heard in astronomy class that the earth's axis has shifted slightly since the zodiac signs were established, so your birthday doesnt necessarily actually correspond with your so-called sign. dunno if that's true or not, but either way i don't buy into zodiac stuff.

    (i'm a leo and hardly fit the profile)

    I'm a believer and I've found that people seem closer to the traits of their signs when they are more receptive to their inner self/true nature/intuition. I was this way, actually...a few years back, I decided I wanted to stop rationalizing away all of the wonder in life and wanted start putting more emphasis on my emotional intelligence, gut feelings and learn more about the mysteries of life...now that I look at the traits of my sign which I just got into about a year ago, I see how I fit them pretty closely but couldn't have said the same just a few years back....kinda neat to me anyways. :)

    Of course, there is no absolute rule and some people just won't match up sometimes, as well.

    this stuff is such nonsense, unless my parents lied about my birthday. my sign is maybe half right, and the horoscope is right maybe 5% of the time.
