Personality quiz nonsense, really. Vague fluffy descriptions basically everyone can interpret themselves as fitting, at least to some capacity, then taken as accurate for that.

Are you insane? How could it possibly be accurate? I mean, what's your logical thought process here? That stars and planets influence you at birth? Even that shit doesn't work out because astrology doesn't actually line up with them very well.

tbh there does seem to be some similarities with certain signs. I have yet to met a Scorpio that wasn't batshit crazy and aVirgo moms are overbearing. Even before I knew my sign I exhibited certain traits, so when I did learn about astrology signs it was more like uh so this is normal type thing. Not omg this is how I should be acting!!!!

I'm also a Leo-Virgo cusp.
I tend to be less of a 'perfectionist' than Virgos ordinarily are, I think… although I can get really OCD about having a clean space to live/work in. Clutter drives me crazy.
For the most part, I'm pretty introverted, I like staying indoors and going out by myself is an effort. If you can drag me to a party or a club where I feel comfortable with the company, I can feign extroversion well enough to make friends, but mostly it seems like too much of an effort…that's why most of the time I spend my weekends on the internet or with one or two close friends. I worry that I'm wasting my youth sometimes, haha.

Do you literally think that being a scorpio makes someone crazy? What's the neurological process behind that? I'm very curious.

No. 60458

No. I'm a Cancer and have none of the most important traits. It's bullshit.

No. 60466

I've been reading up on it for years. I've been incredibly intrigued by it as, after reading up on the placements and aspects made in my birth chart, a lot of things matched up with my life e.g. distant father, no close relationship with siblings, overbearingly protective mother to the point of suffocating etc. etc.

But would I say I believe in astrology? No. As the connections I'm finding in my birth chart with my life could just be confirmation bias.

Even if you don't believe in it, just read up on your own birth chart: it's entertaining anyway to see what's apparently "written in the stars" for you.

No. 60470

>>60402
Yea, I might be a little insane.

But Its still been very accurate for me over my life. I dont really belive in cusps. I think the sun signs are a vague representations of our ego. I think its important to find out your moon, venus, and acendent to get a better picture of who you are.

I only read about this stuff as a hobbie, so I don't know everything about it. it is a complicated fascinating hobby.

And I've never met a Scorpio who wasnt batshit crazy either. LoL

I'm a scorpio and I'm extremely passive and quiet. I rarely show any emotion at all. I have them. But I don't really show them. So I get called cold when I just don't want to show everyone how I'm feeling most of the time because it gets in the way of important day to day things. And I'm guarded because I'm uncomfortable with most people even if I've known them a long time. Everyone just makes me feel weird around them.

But I don't think that makes me crazy. I actively avoid arguments and confrontations.

I think that anyone can look up random zodiac traits and find something from every sign that fits them. They are meant to be encompassing enough so everyone can pick a few things out from their sign and go "hey that's totally me!"

I'm legitimately horrified that in this day and age there are people stupid enough to think the star signs and crystal rubbing smelly hippy nonsense is genuine. I get depressed if I think about it for too long.

LoL this happens to me all the time. Then they want to know more and more about this person or that person. Or they ask you about themselves and before you finish theyre like "wroooooong"

I think it can be taken to the extreme in both directions. Your either so stuffy you never laugh. Or your so whimsical that you let it run your life into the ground. Neither are ideal.

Actually, my sister and a bunch of other 30 something women and teenage girls put way too much faith into this shit. Like they check horoscopes daily and plan events around them and blame their romantic problems on 'he's a Taurus' instead of 'I'm a fucking nag and he's a dropkick'

I've lived with a 19 year old who actually cried and said that the Ajax i use to clean was blocking her chakras, and she sat with fucking rocks on her for an hour to fix it.

I take it with a pinch of salt but I find it very entertaining.

I'm a Leo with Aquarius moon (too lazy to list rest). I find it very accurate and can't read someone else's horoscope and feel it applies to me.

The only way I can see it as logically plausible is if the season/climate/earth cycle you're born in affects your development to some extent. I would be willing to see this as possible and just not properly understood. However, since that's probably wishful thinking, I'll continue to just see it as fun.

I do find the people I am most attracted to always end up being Aries, so that's a neat coincidence.

I think it's fun to discuss, however "accurate."

I actually find it pleasant when someone knows a lot about it, or has memorized the dates/personalities and things like that. It's rare people have a real interest in fortune-telling or the occult these days, so it's refreshing, imo. I wish I had more friends interested in tarot, divination, etc.; they're almost always cool people too.

I don't see a point in shitting on other people for having an interest in something like this, even if it's not based in anything logical. It just makes you sound like the posters on the frontpage of /r/atheism.

Hey, I'm also a Leo with Moon in Aquarius! I find my signs generally fit but some of them can be very polarizing or contradictory put together.

At the end of the day it's intentionally vague so you can insert your own personality into the blanks, but I find it fun to do. It's interesting to see how people interpret what their horoscope says about them, moreso than what it actually is saying. The same goes for stuff like tarot, it's just a fun way to possibly get to know more about someone else.

I'm not 100% sure on Astrology. My grandmother is an astrologer and has done all of my families charts and I think that BECAUSE she's so into it I kind of resent it. She likes to use her knowledge of astrology to explain why you're feeling a certain way instead of just letting you feel that way…I think that 80% of it is absolute horse shit.

However some of the personality stuff seems to be fairly accurate. Of course it's all pretty vague…but some of the descriptions of 'how I'm supposed to be' are uncanny.


I don't really remember what I am exactly. I think i'm like… a Taurus with Cancer ascendant then moon in something….idfk.

I could give less of a fuck.

I like it. Mine's pretty accurate. As long as you don't let it dictate your behavior I think it's harmless fun. People can take it too far though. I think of it as a way to broach talking about yourself, nothing more.

Astrology is pretty interesting for me. A friend of mine and me share birthday date, he's a bit older though. We are so much alike, and his girlfriend confirms it often. My (now ex bf sign has a pretty accurate description of him too.
It is fun but obviously you don't need to get obsesed over it. I mean, you can't get to know in dept someone just because you know their solar sign or any BS like that. But it helps a little bit.

Holy shit, you people actually take astrology seriously? It's fun to look at and joke about but if you think it actually tells you anything about your personality…

I mean, in some sense maybe it does, because you may be subconsciously (honestly, probably consciously for many people) changing your personality in some ways to fit your horoscope. But that's not exactly beneficial to you.

>I'm not 100% sure on Astrology.

>I think that 80% of it is absolute horse shit.
Ok, and what is the 20% that's real? It's all horse shit. It's completely meaningless.

>Meyers Briggs is pseudoscience.

Yes, it is, but it still has way more validity than fucking astrology. You can at least infer a few real things about yourself from Meyers Briggs.

I honestly thought lolcow was a little bit smarter than this. Believing a god might exist is one thing, but believing constellations determine your personality is no better than believing crystals protect you from curses.

It's not, at all. They're both illogical. But it's an ingrained belief in many people, and I didn't want to argue the point due to someone complaining skeptics sounded like /r/atheism users.

They're free to believe in it. But they shouldn't be posting about it on this website. There are many other places for stupid shit.

I treat it like a fortune cookie. Sometimes it can be motivating, or help remind me of different facets of relationships or life that I may have buried. Also a good place to find great personality descriptors of others.

>tfw pisces and scorpio tru luv

I would say that pic related is very true. It can be tough when we fight, but it's very raw and true, so our success together is extremely rewarding
