I'm....Confused about my Zodiac Sign.

[Altaries]

I recently read the personality traits of my sign,Libra,And I felt It didn't suit me.
I read the Scorpio's traits as well,and that just feels more true. It says they have some of the deepest emotions and most passionate relationships. To think someone's emotions and opinions are more intense than my own just feels impossible. I was born on sept. 24,so i'm pretty sure I'm not getting the dates mixed up. It's not that I don't want to be a Libra,It just dosen't seem right. Do they just not affect your personality? I always believed they did.
Guess I was wrong though.

They only mean something if you believe they do. It's really just a generalization based on statistics.

 

[AvsJoe]

I may be a Capricorn but some of the traits don't quite describe me. But I don't put any faith into that sort of thing. Half the time the daily horoscopes are so vague that 8 or 9 of them happen to me.

 

[Julianking93]

I was born Sept. 27, so I'm a libra as well.

I somewhat agree with it, but the zodiac is fucking bullshit. The stars can't predict your future or tell who you are deep down.

 

[Matt_LRR]

astrology isn't based in reality.

According to the Zodiac, I'm a Taurus. Yet according to the Chinese Zodiac, I'm a monkey.

They're not exactly something to take too seriously, Unless I really did get promoted in a job I don't have 15 times now.

 

[SupabadMan]

You can't take the zodiac seriously mate!

It's okay, I don't match a Sagittarius. However, my Myers Briggs personality type is eerily accurate.

 

[Daveman]

I feel a lot of Pisces traits suit me better but I missed out on it by 2 days so I'm an Aries, though a lot of those characteristics suit me too.

But on the other hand, it's all bollocks.

 

[Altaries]

Thank you for your answers,I never really took as a religious sort of seriousness,but I did really believe it did reflect upon everyone's personalities in some way.

I won't take it as seriously before :3

That's because your myers-briggs is actually based on a measurement of you.

I'm a scorpio, and I don't have a clue as to what it means, and even if I did I doubt that the relative position of the planets and stars really has anything to do with how I live my life.

 

[Worgen]

it doesnt matter at all, its totaly based on giving a general desciption that a large enough of the population can agree with so they will think is refers to them

I am not saying I believe or do not believe in astrology. This is simply for your information, AnimePanda. Take it for what it is.

Astrology is actually much more complex than the simple "what sign were you born under" and "newspaper horoscope" approach. There are actually many signs that have an influence on your personality according to astrologists. The "sign you were born under" refers to your "sun sign", the constellation through which the sun was passing when you were born. Many astrologists actually believe that a more important factor is your "rising sign", the constellation that was on the eastern horizon at the time you were born. You also have a "moon sign". Furthermore, each planet's position in the sky relative to the signs of the zodiac and what are called "houses" all play an important role.

Astrologists cast what is called a 'birth chart' to make determinations about personality. The birth chart is basically a diagram of the sky at the exact time you were born as it appeared at the place where you were born. Sun, moon, and rising signs play a role, as do the positions of each planet relative to each sign of the zodiac and each house. Such charts are very specific to your birth.

True horoscopes are similar - pictures of the sky at specific points in the future.

Whether you believe it or not is up to you. But newspaper horoscopes are basically 'astrology lite'. The actually workings of astrology are very interesting, regardless of what you believe, and it is a very ancient science. If you are really curious, there are a number of websites that will create an accurate birth chart and horoscopes for free or for a small fee. For fun, you might even make an appointment with an actual astrologer and have a birth chart done up. At the very least, anything that encourages self-reflection can be a learning experience even if you don't buy the mystical mumbo-jumbo.

To quote Weird Al:

"Now you may find it inconceivable or at the very least a bit unlikely
that the relative position of the planets and the stars could have
a special deep significance or meaning that exclusively applies to only you,
but let me give you my assurance that these forecasts and predictions
are all based on solid, scientific, documented evidence, so you would have
to be some kind of moron not to realize that every single one of them is absolutely true."

Well i'm a Scorpio which makes me about 10% more badass so it works for me.

 

[Altaries]

o.o; Thanks,Simonides,I'll believe what I want to.

That is true. A person's logical processes and behavioral habits provide more basis for personality than a set of dates based on astronomical layout. However, any test that caters to a wide selection of people is prone to generalization which seems largely the cause of disagreements.

Of course, it could be that certain behavioral patterns were more enforced and enacted during times when astrology held more meaning. Thus keeping a generalization to monitor a crowd, while causing disagreement with the individual. This is only speculation, as I am not entirely brushed up on the principles behind the Zodiac.

 

[Berethond]

Surprisingly, my sign description explains me fairly well.

 

[Rednog]

I was born under the Shadow. I just couldn't pass up the ability to turn myself invisible for a minute once per day.
