Sexual Preference Not Changed By Woo-Hooing?

[J. M. Pescado]

I'm astrologically a Leo. But my character is nothing like one (except perhaps the arrogance). The classical description of Capricorn fits me better.

I don't really follow astrology much in general, but apparently, according to what I've read, there are now 13 signs, and you may want to check if your date has been reclassified as a result of a few thousand years of stellar movement.

As Scorpios only show their true selves to those they really care about (and, most importantly, totally trust), it is anybody's guess as to who the true JM Pescado really is (or even what he is, as there has been talk of him being an alien).

Yeah, but if I was an alien, I'd have a completely different astrological chart. Like, say, Vega.

Personally, I don't think that Scorpios ever truly reveal themselves to anyone.  They are guarded by nature and ultimately trust no-one but themselves.  True?

Not true. I have several good friends that I trust absolutely. It helps a lot that they're dead.

13 signs? Where did you find that information?

hm, im still a leo by that account then

*starts fiddling with her red hair* And i really got to go now, I have a mirror that is missing me   /sarcasm off

[jrd]

I'd be a Cancer according to that. Which would indeed fit better than Leo.

[Sandilou]

I'd fit into the 13th sign Ophiuchus.  I've no idea what that would make me. 

[cabelle]

Same here, I'd be a Cancer too. I've always thought I didn't fit well into the description of a "typical" Leo.

[cyperangel]

according to the horoscope my mother had made for me a long time ago, I am a double Leo, with leo being both my starsign, and my ascendant sign. Im not however, the flashy type of leo, I am generally shy, silent, and dont have a large social circle.. Guess im one of those sick kittens that should have been removed by mother nature.

[veilchen]

I'm an Aquarius, and the only thing that this tells me is that I was born in the winter :D

[J. M. Pescado]

Yeah, the astrology thing is very complex and twisted. Just out of boredom, I consulted all of them, and as it turns out, I manage to just barely squeeze by as being a Scorpio on the traditional and "real" charts. Of course, that doesn't mean terribly much, other than that for some reason, people seem to suddenly gain an understanding of me when I tell them this.

Which unfortunately happens to to pin my birthday down rather exactly.

[Kitiara]

Hmm. It seems, according to this chart, I am no longer a Sagitarius but an  Ophiuchus. I never gave much credence to horoscopes, but was always quite fond of the Sag description. I never believed in the mythos, but found the character portrayal apt nonetheless. Now I am a new sign? I find it disappointing, slightly, but see no reason why this info should change my life in any way. Oh, well. C'est la vie.

[fff]

Hey, hold on a minute! Here I was, basking in the self-satisfied glow of being a Sagi, and laughing at the Scorpios, and then I click the bloody link and find out I am now ONE OF THEM!!! 

Hmm. Kinda makes sense, actually....

Well, they are sufficiently vague as to encompass a broad variety of people. I myself happen to fit the description for several signs in most cases, and probably so do you.

Well, here's a link for attributes associated with Ophiuchus. You decide how applicable it is to you.

Well, look at it this way: Previously I narrowly dodged being a Sagi, and now I've narrowly dodged being a Libra. Clearly I have a knack for avoiding things. Like death, which is the fate that has befallen every single one of my known family members.

[Sandilou]

I went to the link to read about my new Sun Sign - which I'm still learning to spell and say.  As it only lists positive attributes I must say that it describes me perfectly! 

In truth, they are all generalisations that are just fun to read.  Chinese horoscopes personality profiles seem to be even more accurate at typically describing my friends and family.  No one's surprised by my sign anyway!

I personally prefer the Horrorscopes, the prediction of dire unpleasantness that will befall you in the near future.

Badly actually. But, I can interpret events of my life to make it fit. Then, that works for all 13. I think I'll just live in denial. I'm only off by 5 days. I'll pretend I never heard of this new thing and continue to claim Sagitarius. Foolish attitude perhaps, but hey, they're only horoscopes.

I would indeed love such a thing, why is it that horoscopes tend to emphasize the positives? One severely flawed Chinese horoscope went as far as to  lable every single sign as successful.

Well, when you think about it, horoscopes never had any real basis in fact, anyway. Why bother living in denial, when you can just figure it's mostly BS anyway?

[Kitiara]

It would be a different matter if I believed in them or thought they had any real relevance on my life. I don't. I find horoscopes, at best, to be occasionally amusing. Being Sagitarious amuses me more than this new thing. Here are some of the attributes. These are all characteristics which sound dull, or else do not fit me at all. No thanks.
    * lofty ideals
    * a seeker of peace and harmony
    * doctor of medicine or science
    * seeks higher education
    * overseer, supervisor of work
    * longevity, aspirations of healing the ills of man
    * tax assessor or levys taxes
    * astrological talents, intuitive
    * the number twelve holds great significance
    * foresight to benefit from hard times
    * notable father, apple of father's eye when young
    * high position in life expected [depending on aspects] highest fame and legend comes after death however
    * likes to wear clothing of vibrant colors
    * receives the favor of those in charge

It is pretty much all bs. It's stuff like this, 13th sign business and all, that proves it doesn't stand up to decent scientific inquiry.

For example: Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and *mysterious recently discovered planet-like object* are all fairly recent additions to the whole thing, but pre-discovery astrology never even slightly indicated the existence of these planets. If it actually did work the way it is reported to, there would have been discrepancies in it that were resolved by the discovery of said planets.

I'm Scorpio, but the only part I really like is pluto. Come on. It's small, cold, dark, and gives astronomers fits trying to figure out what it is. An excellent metaphor. :-D Anything that annoys people is good by me.

[veilchen]

That's about all that is fun about the star-signs. I like the idea that Aquarius is somehow connected with Uranus. I like that fact... other than that it is bs.

That's how the palm-readers and fortune-tellers and the like make their money by the way. Everyone gives away tiny clues about themselves even without saying a single word. That, coupled with things that most people want to hear, and things that could fit just about everyone is the con-artists bread and butter.

[ZephyrZodiac]

Dunno, I had my palm read when I was about twenty, and most of it came true!

[J. M. Pescado]

That's because it was sufficiently vague or obvious that it probably would come true.

[Sandilou]

I've never had my palm read and don't want to have it done after a work colleague of mine freaked me out; she had on two different occasions gone to get her palm read; The first palmist looked at her palm then refused to give her a reading.  A few years later she again went to a palmist, who looked startled at what she'd seen then told her that sometimes it better not to know and refused to give the reading.
