    It makes me sad to think that someone might miss out on a perfectly good relationship because they believed in this nonsense. It’s not harmful to pretend, but if you order your life by something it should be something true and real. “Starvation mode” and “slow metabolism” have more basis in reality than astrology. (And neither one of those is real, in case that wasn’t clear.) The stars which form constellations as viewed from Earth aren’t even close to each other, they just appear that way from our angle of view!

    I think there are aspects that are fun or interesting. Some things are spot on, others way off. I wouldn't base my life on these things. There has to be balance and perspective in all things.

    I didn’t used to believe in it. I’m a scientist for the most part. But, it was just too powerful to ignore after a while. I’m a Cancer btw, and very much fit my sign. Strangers have guessed my sign correctly more than once without knowing anything about me.

    Why I keep being drawn to men who are incompatible signs with me is amazing. Clearly Gemini and Sag are not good for me but that’s all I attract......lol. I need me a Taurus or something.

    Aww, it's fun!
    Guess what sign I am!

    My grandma used to do the full blown out charts for all family members, she had some cool info (and insight) that made a lot of sense (to me). Wish I had all the info on the work she did. She knew and predicted and seemed unsurprised and accepting about all our families individual personalities and quirks, that she did charts for.

    My favourite class ever in uni was Astronomy (for non math students) and for fun (I think) we did an assignment where we took daily horoscopes and tried to relate them to ourselves (all the signs, not just "ours") ...it was fun!!

    Actually makes me want to go back to school, memories of this class!

    I don't know enough about astrology to have it sway my choices in life.

    I think "I'm a gemini" is a great excuse for everything
    Coupled with "it must be pms" and I'm totally blameless

    I know I'm Gemini and I don't know what October 21 is, but I do know that it is on a boundary between 2 and parts of both are supposedly found in such people. I put no stock in it. Life sucks, then you die.


    Birth order, on the other hand is real.

    I’m a Taurus and I’m stubborn as hell. Yeah, I believe in it to a certain extent I guess! :D

    My dad is Taurus and stubborn as hell. I'm just slightly less stubborn and a Scorpio. Genetics > astrology.

    The daily horoscopes in the paper are all carefully worded to be so general and vague they could fit anyone's life, with some nice bland common sense advice. No magic there.

    Used to read the weekly horrorscope.. it's like reading the obituary looking for your name to show up. 😆

    Capricorn here.

    You can't simply judge by your Sun sign...If you want to know your compatibility with this guy, you would need to have an astrology chart made for the both of you and see an astrologist -- you would need his full name, date and TIME of birth, as well as location of birth.

    For instance, my sun sign is very dominant (Aquarius), but a lot of my planets are in Capricorn...so both signs are vital for me.

    For other people, their sun sign may mean little to nothing for them.

    ps: I forgot to clarify that the charts etc that only go by your date of birth are judging simply by a persons Sun sign -- each planet has a sign for a person, but the "novelty" astrological things don't take into account any other planet.

    This, plus ascendant and moon sign and planetary placements and enough other insulating wash that if you read enough about all of the aspects you'll find how you can identify with everything. It's a bar trick. Neato.

    I have a scientific background so I don't believe in a single aspect of it. Do you know the nurse who delivered you had more of a gravitational pull on you than any of those distant stars? And that since the astrological charts were first drawn up 2000 years ago, a wobble in the Earth's rotation means you probably weren't born under the sign you think you were. Besides, I'd hate to think 8.3% of the population were having the same kind of day as me :laugh:

    As a tool to present each reader with a situation they are very likely to encounter on the day and have them prepare for it, I can see how it may help some people plan if they don't have other things to shape how they'll behave.

    Your MFP horoscope for tomorrow is: "You will struggle to make healthy choices today but hard work will pay off."

    Bless you woman.

    I know nothing about birth signs .... zero, zilch, nada.

    my standard reply when asked: "Oh....Don't Get Me Started!"

    it's a sneaky way of backing out of a conversation.

    (this also applies to politics, sports & math.)

    I would love to blame bad behaviour on "I'm a Sagittarius, so..." and just let that hang like it explains everything. Hopefully whoever I'm talking to doesn't actually know anything about astrology otherwise I'll have to follow up with "Yeah, but I think Venus was in retrograde, so... you know..."

    I am a capricorn sun with a scorpio moon. I love astrology. I have been watching tarot readings on You Tube...so freaking cool and its just fun!

    I definitely follow moon phases, and just so you all know, right now we are between eclipses and mercury is in retrograde. Let go of what doesn't serve you in a positive way, but also spend extra time making sure you are taking care of yourself and listening to your inner voice and intuition! It is an EXCELLENT time for change or to take a chance on something you've been on the fence about.

    In the end, its all fun to me, and I really enjoy following it. If you don't, I understand. Some people think its as real (or unreal LOL) as witchcraft. I don't make fun of other's beliefs, those who are religious etc. So it is kinda crappy when people make fun of what I follow and believe in, but that's just life! Doesn't stop me from having fun with astrology :)
