What's your horoscope?

[Mercifull]

I just found another cool essay written by Richard Dawkins about astrology on his website. Its called The Real Romance in the Stars and was originally published in The Independent (December 1995)

[rocketman089]

You seem madly infatuated with that man ^

[Mercifull]

You're right... Richard Dawkins and James Randi are just AMAZING! ^_^ lol

Horoscopes are meaningless and vague. None of the astrologists can ever agree, especially on sun signs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They say things like "try not to worry about the money" and stuff and somsone might read that and be "omg thats so true" when EVERYONE worries about money.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am a virgo too, analyse my character to see how accurate you are...

You and a loved one have the best relationship -- until there's a disagreement. Is there a way to stop the confusion and talking in circles? Think about the end result, and stop worrying about who's right.

 

 

 

For a start it doesnt specify what loved one, could be a partner or family member. And everyone knows that family members always have harmless little disagreements.

Something magical is making its way into your world. It is coming as fast as it can - but there are certain processes and protocols that must be honoured. In principle you understand this. In practice you are understandably impatient and anxious. It is as if you are being asked to take an awful lot on trust. What else can you do, though, other than to keep on trusting. Mercury's conjunction to Jupiter promises a rather brilliant breakthrough soon

 

 

 

Possible the most VAGUE thing ever written. And whats with the whole planetary rubbish, any person with common sense knows that the biggest electromagneting thing in the solar system is the sun and none of the astrologers ever talk about that, only the planets moving into each other or other rubbish.

My analysis is nothing about money or how your day is going to be, it's a character analysis which I have proved to myself to be quite true. Ok, to convince you, I'll give an analysis.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Virgo are a group of kind-hearted perfectionist. They want everything to be perfect, and they pick on even the slightest fault. They are pretty down to earth, and have good analytical skills. They mature at an early age, and are careful of the smallest details. They are rather shy, but have a strong determination. Even though they appear to be weak and gentle, they have an inner strength much greater than what others think. They are full of determination, and have pure thinking of their life.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Might as well have some fun here guys :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was born July 23.... in some circles of thought I'm a Leo and in others I'm just nothing ;\

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm a libran

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I read that and thought you said, "I'm a librarian," and I was like - what in the world?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway - I'm a Leo because that's the most awesome one there is. I also read my horoscope everyday because it's funny. I also read the horoscope of friends and family so I can make strange comments to them during the day about their horoscope.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Same as Runesmithie, born on July 23rd; Leo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I only like to read them if it says I'll be getting some money. Nah I read them all the time for some reason, I'm a Leo btw. July 30th. Yay a birthday in the summer holidayz ..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Leo are a group of confident, arrogant people. They love attention, and likes to be surrounded with people. They are energetic and passionate, and likes to be popular (usually they are). They are pretty self-centered and have curly hair (a feature that makes them look like lions and lionesses : ).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm an Aries. I read it when I have the daily paper. But no, I don't believe it. My close friend is really into it though. I gave her a Libra 'book' for her birthday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aries are a group of passionate people who loves noisy scenes. They are always full of energy, and treats their friends with 100% loyalty. They usually have a "sunshine smile", and they can brighten the days of other people. For male aries, they like clever and gentle girls. For female aries, they like energetic guys with idol looks. Self confidence is also very important

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm a libran, but don't believe any of it, except when I want to. Basic psychology really.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Libras are a group of perfectionist. They love all things which are sweet and beautiful, and likes to seek for freedom. They have attractive looking complexions, and usually have a sweet smile. They are very popular, but they prefer to keep a distance from others. For male libras, they like girls with good facial features and lots of common interests. For female libras, they like knowledgable guys who are respectable of others, looks are also an important criteria.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here you go, have fun. :)

[Mercifull]

And here's me thinking that curly hair was an attribute of a dominant gene phenotype. What a crazy idea that was, its so wonderfully explained by the orientation of the planets. Thank you. :)

Not too bad Mr. Horoscope. Although it did leave out the "awesome" description. I guess that's just assumed?

[Anesthesia]

You didn't answer my question:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is it true that you believe the approx. 500,000,000 people worldwide born between December the 22nd and January the 20th all have the same personality?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

500,000,000 people having the same personality traits simply determined by what time period they were born in?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm trying to think of what word best describes this...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yeah - Quackery.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So that you aren't simply doing a cold reading (based on peoples' posting styles), how about giving the analysis of my father? Born on the 24th of September.

I'm Aquarius. I don't know if I actually believe in Astrology, but it seems to match my personality completely. Cool! :D

Ghost is a difficult person to agree with. If I remember correctly, he is conservative-regressive. He is against killing babies and abortion, but for eating them alive.

I'm barely anything like a Leo :?

Because the description was made by a bored astrologist who thought it can be applied to all the hundreds of millions of "leos" around the world who have a similar personality, curly hair and similar days (nevermind the fact that statistically most Leos are from China where curly hair is a nearly inexistant genetic trait.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh wait, maybe horoscopes only apply to americans. I forgot. The planets can distinguish different people and countries and nationalities.

I wasn't saying I believed any of that stuff :-s

[BlueLancer]

You weren't, I was just adding to your point, but apparently the person who believes so and wrote those 'descriptions', does.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And those others are just a joke to be taken as more than entertainment. Quoting some, that can be applied to anyone. "Likes clever girls". "Likes guys with idol looks and self confidence". "Likes to seek freedom". (who doesn't? Do other people want to be slaves?) "Likes girls with good facial features".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And my favourite, "Aries treats their friends with 100% loyalty."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nevermind that statistically about 1/12 of all prisoners in the world who may have betrayed all of their friends or robbed banks, murdered, etc. are born in the same time period as other"Aries"'es.

Do other people want to be slaves?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some do, but that's another depraved story.

So that you aren't simply doing a cold reading (based on peoples' posting styles), how about giving the analysis of my father? Born on the 24th of September.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They don't have the exact same character traits, but they have *very similiar* ones. The reason behind this difference is the fact that people have traits from multiple horoscopes. Me for example, I have traits from virgo, cancer, scorpio, pisces. But most of your traits are from your basic horoscope (virgo for me), and it's not that hard to find your traits from other horoscopes as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As requested, I will give an analysis of your father. But I can't guarantee a 100%, reason as stated above. Since your father is a libra, here it goes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Libras are a group of perfectionist. They love all things which are sweet and beautiful, and likes to seek for freedom. They have attractive looking complexions, and usually have a sweet smile. They are very popular, but they prefer to keep a distance from others. For male libras, they like girls with good facial features and lots of common interests. For female libras, they like knowledgable guys who are respectable of others, looks are also an important criteria.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm Aquarius. I don't know if I actually believe in Astrology, but it seems to match my personality completely. Cool! :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aquarius are a group of passionate people. They like to form brother-sister relationships with both genders. They are pretty humorous and do not mind a lot about how they conduct their relationship with their friends. They believe that true friendship is hidden inside the heart, and it shouldn't be just on the surface.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm barely anything like a Leo :?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Are you sure you are a leo? Tell me the exact day you are born in. You might have gotten it wrong.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm barely anything like a Leo :?

Oh wait, maybe horoscopes only apply to americans. I forgot. The planets can distinguish different people and countries and nationalities.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As I have said above to Anesthesia, people born under the same horoscopes do not have 100% same character traits, but they are *very similiar*. Also, I have said in the first page that I do not believe in things easily. This whole horoscopes thing have convinced me to believe in them, because what they described about me is for the most part true.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Btw, I'm not an american, but an asian.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You weren't, I was just adding to your point, but apparently the person who believes so and wrote those 'descriptions', does.

Well about that "seeking freedom" part, I can be pretty sure that some people who relies on their parents a lot would not like to leave their parents and have freedom, the reason being they can't fend for themselves. Believe me, there are people who do not have the ability to take care of themselves. This character trait is deep down inside the person, but circumstances can change what the person decides to do.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the Aries part, it's the same thing. Circumstances change a person (even a person's character), how can you judge that they aren't loyal (before) even though they have finally betrayed their friends?

[kelem_ryu]

I'm born 10th of August 1982 11:40 MEST (middle european !summer! time) in Vienna.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can probably figure out, sun is in leo 10th house, sextile to saturn at the ascendent wich is in the libra. the moon is in aries, 7th house in exact konjunktion to the DC making a square to venus (9th house in cancer, loose konjuktion to MC) and also opposing pluto (1st house, kunjunkting the AC) and saturn (also kunjunkting the AC, but from the 12th house). Also the moon forms a triangle with neptune, wich is in the 3rd house and a 4ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâð triangle with the sun, wich in turn would only form triangle with neptune if you'd set the orbis at 7 or 8ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâð. Mars and Jupiter form a konjunktion in 1 in scorpico and form a square to mercury (11, virgo). (btw forgot: venus forms an exact square with pluto to.) what else? uranus in 2 at 1ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâð sagitarius froming a triangle to MC and a square to mercury. That's about it. geez all those english expressions..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

it's a pity that there is no daily horoscope for these exact parameters..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: "when the moon is in the 7th house and jupiter aligns with mars" :P

[rocketman089]

Are you sure you are a leo? Tell me the exact day you are born in. You might have gotten it wrong.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I didn't get it wrong.

[Viktorkrum77]

 

 

 

 

So you're of the belief that 500,000,000 people worldwide have the same sort of day every day?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd like to see an answer if you seriously believe in this stuff 8-)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They make horoscopes to fit to everyones life, for example "You might encounter some problems today". Heck, I could be a damn good astrologist, all I need to say is like: "Sun might shine on you today, if it's a clear day. If it's not, clouds might block the sun"

 

 

 

Some people get paid to write things like that. Money for nothing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Haha, they also make them to rack in the dough. Like that personal psychic on your cell phone thing. Has anyone else seen that commercial? That has got to be the 'saddest' thing to happen to commercials in years.

[kelem_ryu]

There is more to astrology than news paper "horoscopes".

i agree on the topic of horoscopes, i just cant understand why some people devote themselves to them religously.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

sorry for not contributing to your topic the way you would have liked.

[MC_Kejml]

So you're of the belief that 500,000,000 people worldwide have the same sort of day every day?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At my opinion, they may have those traits but they may not show them much, or just too much, or w/e.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Btw, I am Pisces .. tell me what I'm like : :ohnoes:
