Do you believe in them , I do , I am a Libra , what are you ? smile

anyone had look at Chinese horoscopes? The characteristics of the signs are compellingly accurate.

granjura Thu 26-Jul-12 20:56:15

Barrow - same here, lol. OH is also Pisces and we are like chalk and cheese.

petallus Thu 26-Jul-12 20:56:58

I'm Aries. DH is Pisces. Supposed to be the worst combination possible for a marriage/relationship.

JO4 Thu 26-Jul-12 21:01:03

petallus are you inclined to charge at situations like a bull in a china shop? Do you always have to get on with things straight away!?

DH is aries. hmm

I am a fiery Aries but with a Cancer moon. Each person has other signs in their charts, such as their Moon sign which represents their emotional side and their Rising or Ascendant sign which represents their personality, they are just two. The sun sign is only one aspect, so reading about your sun sign in a newspaper or magazine is a waste of time. Each person's chart is completely individual as it is worked out on the exact time, place and date of birth. Looking at your Sun signs won't tell you if you are compatiable, I think you have to find out what's in Venus or your moon signs to see if you are compatible. It really is very complicated!

I find it quite interesting and often read www.astro.com but wouldn't live my life by it!

I`m Gemini, but don`t believe in all the horoscope rubbish. My MIL had the best idea, she read them in all the papers and magazines, but only believed the good ones.

Littlenellie Thu 26-Jul-12 21:32:14

I am a capricorn,and show all the characteristics of this sign..

jeni Thu 26-Jul-12 22:10:29

bags are you a December lass as well?

tattynan Thu 26-Jul-12 22:16:26

I like the horoscopes on ELLEuk.com. Check out your yucky and your lucky days in the monthly section just for fun.I'm Taurus.

glammanana Thu 26-Jul-12 22:19:24

I'm a Virgo (surprise surprise) married to a Taurus ,I was born on a Friday the 13th

I married a Taurus and here is what they say about that combination grin

Aquarius and Taurus love compatibility
Aquarius's careless attitude toward love will baffle and finally enrage highly passionate Taurus, who doesn't want someone just to play with. The Aquarius is inclined to analyze everything and not very interested in getting pleasure from making love. The Aquarius would rather prefer to talk, but the sensual Taurus will not be satisfied with such type of love. Taurus will seem to be too requiring for the Aquarius. These two are stubborn in very different ways: Aquarius refuses to be conventional, while Taurus rigidly adheres to the values of family and security. Aquarius is interested in humane concerns; Taurus is single minded about itself and its possessions. Aquarius puts a low emphasis on sex and places it far down on the list of necessities. This attitude could cause Taurus some major upsets as he/she will not be able to accept the problems of the whole world sharing his/her bed, which could cause Taurus to become over demanding in Aquarius' eyes.

Very close wink

I am a Taurus, and like Faye I find it really interesting. Certainly helps you to understand people even if you only know their sun sign. cafeastrology.com is also a really comprehensive site. Chinese astrology is interesting too. The daily Chinese horoscopes on Horoscope.com are uncannily accurate

Ella46 Fri 27-Jul-12 09:01:45

I find it all very interesting too and 20 years ago when I left my husband, I read a lot of books and had my personal horoscope cast.
It has helped me quite a lot in my dealings with the general public and in personal relationships.

In fact, being a Gemini, it helps me to manipulate things to my advantage!

My first job was helping to develop an occult magazine which never actually saw the light of day. I wasn't involved with the astrology stuff but the guy who wrote the articles etc. had a pregnant wife and I remember his telling us how he was urging her to jump up and down and do all sorts of things to go into labour one auspicious week, then the next inauspicious week was telling her to stay in bed and not move. Poor woman. As always, the baby was born when the time was right for him.

We had all sorts of weird and wonderful people wandering in an out of our office. Someone drew up my birth chart, someone else read my palms and a graphologist analysed my handwriting. About the only thing I remember is that I have frigid thumbs according to the palm reader and lascivious loops according to the graphologist.

My next job was on a cookery magazine. grin

petallus Fri 27-Jul-12 10:27:11

JO4 I do have to get on and do things straight away which doesn't really suit my Pisces DH.

I do charge in but hopefully not too much like a bull since bulls are male and I'm a laydee.

Anagram Fri 27-Jul-12 10:30:04

But petallus, you do know what the female equivalent of 'bull' is....?
wink

absentgrana Fri 27-Jul-12 10:37:46

If ever I meet someone who promptly tells me which star sign I am, I always agree that they are right. They then proceed to explain why it is perfectly clear that I am Gemini or Scorpio or Aquarius or Cancer, etc. affording me considerable secret amusement.

I am Capricorn, not sure what my characteristics are . I feel I am steady , reliable and honest , but maybe that is just wishful thinking !!!Although it does sound a little boring . I seem to surround myself with Aquarians , My Mother , Daughter , ex daughter-in -law , and two of my best friends . One thing I do notice about them all is that they are all very dramatic people , always getting into scrapes which I am expected to rescue them from !! If there is anyone out there who knows the characteristics of all the signs ( or where to go to find out ) I would be very interested . To put the proverbial cat among the pigeons , I have noticed that some Pisceans appear to be Hypochondriacs .No offence meant to all you Pisceans , you can pass on your views on Capricorns if you like !!!

I didn't think there was anything in it until a girl at work did a proper reading for my eldest as a 'silly' Christmas present. She came to see me quite perturbed as the reading didn't match what she thought she knew of my daughter. What she didn't know was that the reading was for my second daughter - and it fitted her perfectly!
By the way - I'm a Scorpio.

jeni Fri 27-Jul-12 15:20:04

Apparently I'm energeticconfused could my mother have got my birthdate wrong?

JO4 Fri 27-Jul-12 15:27:03

Butternut Fri 27-Jul-12 15:45:06

Nonu Fri 27-Jul-12 16:26:53
