GEMINIS AND OTHER STAR SIGNS

I don’t believe your time and date of birth have any influence on your personality and actions. Why would everyone born at the same time as me live exactly the same life?

Actually 3 of my closest friends are born within a week of each other and we do have some of the same traits..and when 3 of us get-together, its a like talking up a storm ..fighting to get a word in edgeways!!

I am Gemini. I don't believe horoscope stuff, but it can be accurate how much people born at certain times of the year's personalities can be similar. I think perhaps due to the amount of light that gets through into the womb? Or the light conditions when the baby is born?

I am very much a hermit with few friends, but in social situations can be the butterfly with many (seemingly friendly) aquaintances. The reality is, I talk to everyone and smile but go home alone and no one calls.

I’m a Gemini and have also studied astrology with The Faculty of Astrological Studies. We are all far more than our star sign but we do definitely have certain characteristics depending on our signs.

Oh dear. Do people still believe this nonsense?

Are we saying there are only 12 types of people in the world?

If the dates of birth were not attached to the star sign, would they be considered as corresponding to that particular personality type?

And does the prediction take into account that it takes millions of years for the light from the stars in a constellation to reach the earth and make them visible, from the various stars in that constellation which are all at different distances away, so the light from them reaches here in different lengths of time?

That is not even mentioning that the stars have moved since the light from them began its journety, so that they wouldn't form the same shape of constellation if we could see their present position.

Well, my mother and I are both Capricorns and I hope I am nothing like her!!

I too am the same sign as my mother and also know I’m nothing like her. Saying that though I am the sign of the scales (Libra) and have spent a lifetime battle on the scales ?

I am Cancer, ruled by the moon, need I say more !

I’d rather believe in my genes!

I am Taurus - like a bull in a china shop? I do have some similarities to Taureans. My DD is Leo - the leader. When we talk, I sometimes wonder who is the mother and who the daughter, as a toddler I called her 'bossyboots'

It’s amazing how people can be so dismissive about something they know nothing about!

I know tickingbird - it was brave of you to say what you did. I know you're right. I have studied the same. The trouble is, people just think of the rubbish in women's magazines and know nothing about the real thing.

Do you have any mechanism whereby the relative positioning of group of stars, light years away from Earth, could influence the life of a child born on a small rocky planet in a minor solar system?

Or even any evidence that it does?

Thee have even been doubts raised about the original calculations of those relative positions, Alegrias - and each star is at a different distance from earth from the others in its constellation, so any error is in three dimensions, not just two.

Well all I can say is that as an Aquarian I have most of those traits associated with that sign

Another Gemini here and you described me exactly

I'm sure everyone offscreen thinks I'm popular, but in reality I go quiet when I'm on my own ! It actually wears me out as I'm an introvert.

Astrology = twaddle!!!

I was born on the cusp of Virgo and Leo -does that mean I have a split personality. I don't believe in any of it.

Piffle.

I don't believe in astrology, it's complete nonsense and totally silly. But - yes, I do think I have some traits of my star sign, and my daughter and husband and other people I know do too. But that would be true of everyone, and we would also all have some traits of other star signs too. So it means nothing. What nonsense to believe, for instance, that every baby who was born on the same day as my daughter (or even within the same few weeks) will have the same personality as her.

But isn't that more because people tend to make friends who are similar and have shared interests rather than being because of their birth date?
