Current Events > Do you believe in Zodiac Signs accurately describing yoiur personality?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I used to think it was nonsense, but I know people who really believe in it.

I have to say, as a Libra these traits and description do really represent me extremely well.

Maybe in some weird way your personality can be shaped by the date you were born.

Yes, but only because they're always so deliberately vague that just about everyone can think of a way that the description (or part of it) applies to them.

It is hot nonsense. It is slightly infuriating nonsense because it happens to line up perfectly with my nuclear family, something my mom uses as proof that it must be true.

Of course not.

This is basically correct. If you actually get a full star chart it'll be full of so much contradictory information that it'll be impossible to not find something that describes you.

everybody relates to every horoscope shit in some way soooo yeah i guess i relate to mine

It's just more disorganised religion. Believing in a 'higher power' on the basis of zero evidence.

You actually get people who are happy to point out the logical flaws in religious beliefs, but still subscribe to any amount of 'spiritual' 'paranormal' nonsense. It's weird.

I never much cared for being a cancer.

It's just a way for people to be discriminatory and or avoid accountability.

Thats describes me and I'm not a Taurus. I bet I'm a "Taurus rising" though, so it still fits.

No I'm a scorpio and have none of their traits.

Somebody has argued to me though that I need to look into virgo because I was born one month late. That perhaps it's not about when you are born but when you where conceived and everything is just shifted to the time frame you should be born

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnum_effect

I'm not saying they are 100% exact which would obviously be impossible because we're not all exactly the same person.

However, there are enough pieces here and there throughout these profiles that seem spot on.

For instance, by some coincidence the only serious relationships I've ever had were all with female Taureses. Everything written below about them is so dead on accurate it's kind of scary.

What bad traits do Taureses have?
Some of Tauruses' bad traits have to do with their materialistic tendencies. Sometimes they are overly determined to achieve material success. They are not immune to greed. They can be apathetic to the needs of others if they are motivated to achieve their own goals.

Tauruses dont respond to criticism. Not even that they negatively react to it, but its almost like they are made of cement, and any feedback just bounces right off. They dont budge.

Tauruses are stubborn. Theyre not going to do something they dont want to do. Theyre slow to change their minds because change threatens their sense of stability. They can become so set in their routine that they get too comfortable and lose sight of what really matters. Tauruses can become emotionally and physically lazy.

Im a Scorpio and have almost all the traits. I dont believe in that stuff, though

the biggest problem with astrology isn't even that your own chart contradicts itself, it's that different people say different signs mean different things

there is no consensus on what astrological signs mean

It just fits perfectly to me.

Wait, I'm Leo.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/c/c21108b3.png

Hahahahaha, nope.

technically, yes.

As an Aquarius I'm really diggin' my best careers list:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/2/2cd3a812.png

I remember reading several years ago that the expansion of the universe and the unevenness of Earth's rotation have made it so the signs aren't even aligned with the dates anymore.

I dont know, but the chinese zodiac really does sound like me! Fire rabbit in the house!

I'm pretty much the poster boy for a Taurus but no I don't believe in the stuff.

I really don't care for Astrology, but I just find it cool when I meet someone else who's an Aries.

I read one of those birthday books. In the one for my friend it says this person is known to make predictions and while accurate they are known to make them come into action. A self fuffiling prophecy. It fit my friend to a T. She gave one about me driving in her yard with what I guess was a girlfriend. I believe it will never come to pass. I don't own a model of the truck described, neither a girlfriend nor able to go or a reason to come back to her house right now. I do have some things I left there but there's no need to pick them up. She's passed on so another reason. Anyway I believe in her case validity of that horoscope or what ever you want to call it.

No, i think theres about 40 types of guys, 12 is too low

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/2/2864f69d.jpg

For Taurus.

Oh my God.

I say no, for the most part because there are millions of people with the same birthdays.

statistically, it makes sense that a good amount of those people will have traits that fall in line with astrological signs describe, but it's coincidental.

...is something that an Aquarius, which I happen to be, might say

how i feel about horoscopes and zodiac signs

Astrology sells...but who's buyin

i mean not really but at the same time i'd be damned if virgo's description didn't accurately paint me all the time. i feel like all the others are kinda mid and vague but virgo is always like 'you're a perfectionist and an asshole' and it's kinda spot on honestly.

Nope. There is only a small difference.

Zodiac signs describing your personity is bullshit, and people who believe in them just use it to excuse their shitty behaviour.

I used to think it was nonsense, but I know people who really believe in it.

So, you believe that stars literally hundreds of light years away somehow affect our personalities, even though the sun and moon dont ? Also people into astronomy, do you realize you are saying every human hat has, and will live fall into 12 basic personality types?

I just checked, and it looks accurate.

I don't particularly need to feel useful, but I do need to feel accepted and being useful is the best way to do that. So 50/50 on that one I guess.

Quick fix, yeah I guess. I'm an anxious person, so having a looming problem gets to me. I want to fix it asap.

I wouldn't consider myself judgemental really, but I do easily get frustrated by people. Maybe that counts. I do have good intentions though, even when frustrated.

Spacial awareness. I think this is another anxiety thing. I tend to hyper focus on people, their actions, and surroundings looking out for potential problems to arise.

A million ideas per second. Again, I think it's an anxiety thing that gets your mind and heart racing.

But yeah, over all that looks pretty accurate.

Those Virgo traits describe me pretty well, too.

Problem is my sign is Cancer.

I went through each sign's traits using 10 of my closest relatives.

Only one trait out of 50 was a near-match (2% accuracy; hooray?). :|

I'm a Scorpio and those Virgo traits fit me perfectly lol

It's almost like they're arbitrarily selected or something

A lot of those traits pages, all of them can fit me to varying degrees, and my actual horoscope is merely mediocre fit at best.

Iolno
