That could be, Bill D. We all are many things and at different times and at different ages we've been all of them, I imagine.

That said, I say that I tend not to put any stock in it but I have noticed that when I know that someone shares a birth sign with me I frequently feel that I know how they will react to an event or even to something that is said.

I have three friends in Juneau who each have their birthday in the same week as I (ranging from the 25th to the 28th)although our ages vary widely. As it happens, all three of them are foreign-born ( used to tutor them in English) but we are all very much alike. I could wish that I was as smart as one of them and I hope that I'm not quite as dogmatic as another of them...

My father was also a Saggie(as I am) and a far cry from a believer in the zodiac. But one day when I showed him on paper the character and attributes that he would be expected to have, he read it and then grunted, Looks pretty good to me.

So if I tell you that I am the sort of person who thinks that astrology is a load of cobblers, can anyone tell me which star sign I fit into?

Yep...seems to me I remember a test where some people went to several different astrologers, giving a different birthday each time, and got readings that seemed taylor-made for them. No matter what you said, the analysis 'fit'.

Most everything's true, if you pick the right context.

Becca 72, that is right on the money for you!

I'm a Taurus but I'm not stubborn. I have firm opinions. I get along well with Virgo and I've only met one Scorpio that I didn't like.

Actually, I don't believe in this stuff...we Taurians are skeptical you know.

My friend, Marshall Dodge used to say, "I don't believe a word of this stuff. The hell of it is, It's all true"!

In my family more than half are cancarians.

This includes among others, my mum and dad - who sahre a birthday 1 year apart.
My maternal grandmother, her mother and her mother before her. All born early July.

Then of course there is my daughter.

Practically everyone who has a bearing on my life is cancerian, and at times I feel rather drowned out (pun intended) by them.

But I seem to get on with them, most likely to most of my birthchart being in the sign of Taurus. I have Leo rising which gives me my grrrr and love of performance, Taurus in Venus which gives me a good voice - apparently, but I do enjoy signing.

I also share a birthday with Bob Dylan, the musician, and we both have moon in Taurus. Unfortunately I can't pen songs the way he does.

oh, indeed my sign DOES fit me! As I have noted before (we had a LONG 'discussion' of this last year) I once had a friend ask for my birthday, so she could 'read' me....I said, "well, it's May 20, but I really don't put much stock in those things."

"Um...hmmmm" she said, scanning her books, "That's JUST what your horoscope says you would say!"

Ya' can't win.

I think my problem is that I have a Scorpio rising, which makes for interesting times.

Apparently this week is going to be shitty for us Virgos.

"Your need for independence should not be neglected as it is essential that you develop and sustain the right lifestyle. In many ways you are the quiet, retiring person who prefers his or her privacy even though you have a reputation for being friendly, this is linked mainly to the fact that you always want to be helpful so anyone that needs it will be able to look to you. You will approach other peoples problems as you do your own, without emotion, logically and detached. As long as your views and privacy are respected you make a wonderful friend."

This is me pretty much to a T. I wouldn't base any major life-altering decisions on it, but most of the things I read peg me as a pretty typical Aquarius.

Yup. I'm a very typical Aries and the bits of the character that don't quite match can be explained by rising sign (Aquarius) and moon (Cancer). I've had my chart done twice and was quite taken aback at how much the astrologers could tell about me even if they only knew my date of birth. And in Chinese astrology I'm a dragon, which is perfect, too. Can't explain it logically, but there it is.

Yup .... I'm pisces, my wife is also (5 days younger than me).

We both have the attributes of pisces to the 'T'. I was a bit of a skeptic until we had an astrologer read our charts ... his feedback was incredibly amazing.

I don't believe either and I was shocked to see how well they had me pegged. But only for the last 15 - 20 years.

Suppose so. Pisces...I fish, have always fished. Fish representative of Christ and I'm a Christian (not to worry folks, not one of THOSE Christians!). What else?

Of course, in the Chinese horoscope, I'm a dragon... much more like me!

I'm ruled by Mercury... I have "an unusual ability to reason that is lacking in other signs".   I "lean towards the logical; find it easier to think than to do anything else."

I "have a computer like memory" (with a couple of disks missing) but when it comes to something close to my heart, such as love or compassion, I "find it hard to let the other person know and can thus appear to be aloof and cold"... I "have a tendency to get out of sorts and become 'picky' with those around me which makes for some unforgiven hard feelings in the future". That'll be the git I sit opposite then...

"You can be argumentative, critical, nervous and tense." Can I, really???

In short, I'm a cantankerous old nitpicker with security issues... live with it!

I tend to believe it cynically. I am not a typical gemini, and questioned the basis of it all, I then discovered alot more about the subject, and got pretty good at guessing peoples signs from their behaviour or something they said.

It is not just dependant on your star sign, in your case Cancer, mine Gemimi, but where all other planets were in position at your time of birth.

There are many horoscopes which do not apply to me, but there are definitely some astrologers who are worth their mettle.

On the otherhand, like Geminis I tend to be able to talk glibly when needed to, love socialising, have been called flirty - which I deny hotly, and can for life of me never make a decision, without mulling over the consequences of what if........

Other than that I am more taurean in my nature. I could explain - but it would take an age, I perhaps bore everyone.

This has turned into a running joke amongst myself and several friends.

The short answer is that I don't believe in astrology.

The long answer is that I would never base any major life decisions on astrology but I find it amusing and must confess that all the attributes (and flaws) attributed to Cancerians apply to me--moody, sentimental, insecure, sensitive, blah blah blah. Worse, my closest friends are two Scorpios, another Cancer, a Pisces, and a Taurus.

What about the rest of y'all? Do you think your astrological attributes describe you?
