Was interested to note that some of us Gems identify with their astrological star signs on here...I was a social butterfly both at work and out socially but have somewhat changed my preferences to being "alone" more ..is this age or current environment...people have said I'm not the same B! Feel I've lost a lot of self confidence and not sure how to proceed..thoughts{hmm}
Yes, I'm Leo and always have been.
No l am nothing like my star sign but a lot of my friends are Taureans and Virgos.l get on best with them.
Two of my children (not twins) have the same birthday two years apart, and they are totally unalike.
My sons are identical twins and Gemini. One is very pernickety, can be a bit impatient whilst the other has aire laid back approach to most of things. Basically one has character of my DH whilst other is like me. Which one is Gemini, as both should be the same if you believe?
There was an experiment done some years ago whereby a classroom full of people all had personal astrology charts written for them.
All were opened and each person read theirs and exclaimed how accurate they were.
Then they were asked to swap the reports around and read each others.
All were the same ! !
Like your husband NanaPlenty I'm Sagittarius and a pessimist.
Sagittarians are supposed to love travel and travel the world. That couldn't be more wrong for me. I'm a home bird. I do love the outdoors though.
Strengths: Generous, idealistic, great sense of humor, true
Weaknesses: Promises more than can deliver, very impatient, will say anything no matter how undiplomatic, true.
I do read my horoscope most days just out of curiosity. It's usually wrong though.
I'm a Capricorn. That explains the horns!! ?
Another Gemini here and yes, I do have a lot of the Gemini characteristics. I have always been interested in Astrology and often been able to work out, with exceptions, peoples star signs. People often have the physical characteristics too.
Why astrology is really harming you, even if you don't know it:
You base your assessment of people and their actions on completely irrelevant details of their lives
You think some things are written in the stars and can't be helped.
You think astrology is somehow scientifically based and so perpetuate the problems society has understanding what science really is.
But yes, you're entitled to your opinion. 
Well think whatever you like - we are all entitled to an opinion. Even if it’s nonsense it’s not really harming anyone. I’m Gemini and certainly identify with the personality assigned to a Gemini. On the other hand my hubby is Sagittarius and that’s is supposed to be an optimistic sign - he’s actually a born pessimist ? we always have a bit of fun reading the stars.
On the cusp of Taurus and Gemini, twin bulls?
Being a Christmas baby I have found those born at the same time as me don’t get as many presents for their birthdays as others and that is about all we have in common.
I'm a Virgo and I am a perfectionist like it says we are supposed to be, drives me bloomin potty and my friends too.
I am Taurus and so is my daughter. Clash!!
I am a scorpio. I have read all the characteristics of that sign and none of them apply to me at all

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.
DITTO DITTO DITTO . Geminis can be either way ,not split personality but two distinctly different types. My adopted sister was quiet to my rowdy. Struggling academically to my just 'knowing' stuff. I am very popular until what I consider the point when others either get to know me properly and don't like what they then see, or don't see me as someone who can be taken seriously.
I don't believe in astrology at all which is a relief as I'm such a typical Virgo....
Seriously though, I think that you come to start thinking about your zodiac sign in early adolescence,at the same time as you start - perhaps subconsciously - working on your personality. So I quite see that you might start subtly exaggerating aspects of your personality to match the supposed traits of your sign.
I think MBTI personality stuff works the same way - once people know what their designation is, they suppress what doesn't fit and push what does,so it becomes self-fulfilling.
We don't really have shared interests or same home life..met thru working in very large organisation ..paths crossed and we all 3 on separate occasions said.."u must be a Gemini" we have shared empathy/values and our humour level is insane

Apparently scientists have looked into astrology and found that there is something in it - so not complete nonsense. At a big sporting event a few years back three athletes were born on the same day.
I think that could fairly be called "fake news".

I am a typical Scorpion& have a good friend who celebrates her birthday a week after me, which makes her a Scorpion too. We are very very similar& not very forgiving. I was also born under the Chinese sign of the Tiger. Apparently men stay clear of Tigers& no man wants them as a wife. I’ve been happily married to my Dragon husband for 37 years.
I have the same birthday as my sister. We are nothing alike.
I’m a Virgo and nothing like the astrologers say I should be. When I challenge a believer that this is just rubbish I am told that I am ‘on the cusp’ so should be more like a Libra. Really?
My cousin, also a Virgo, born just a day later than me is the exact opposite of my personality.
Astrology is just mediaeval superstition.
Absolutely identify with the star sign Libra. Utterly wonderful people ,us Librans. I just need to work on my streak of modesty and then I’ll have achieved perfection! ?
I agree with tickingbird. It's not just the Sun Sign, it's the moon and all the planets especially up to Saturn. Then also the rising planet etc.etc. So time, date, and place of birth is necessary which is why two Geminis may have very different temperaments and life experiences. It is a fascinating study but not for everyone and needs a lot of work particularly at Faculty diploma level. Magazine stuff is just light-hearted fun.?
