Do you believe in astrology/zodiac signs?

I've never been much into that stuff. But I couldn't sleep last night, so I did a little Googling. I still don't believe in the horoscope crap, but I'm a Virgo. And what I read was pretty spot on my personality: how I act, what I'm attracted to, etc. It even said most Virgos seek employment in journalism, which I'm in. Kinda creepy.

i feel like they write these things that anyone can relate to them. they leave them pretty broad and open to interpretation.

that being said i have seen some that had specific info that did relate (like your journalism).

I read all of the horoscopes and I fit just about any of them.

Anyone who says "yes" to this question is an idiot.

I am not into horoscopes but over the years I've noticed that signs certainly matter when it comes to who you fit with in terms of dating.

I always ask their sign and read about them. You'd be surprised how much that's said about the sign that fits that person.

Astrology is a good exercise in contrasting knowledge with garbage. Specifically, focus on "mechanism." How does the alignment of the stars and planets at birth cause a person to have certain personality traits? Until you can explain that mechanism, or at least have some sound statistical studies that show a strong correlation of certain traits to certain stellar/planetary alignments, you don't really have a reasonable basis for believing that it can.

Contrast astrology with something like Darwinian evolution, which is well understood and whose genetic mechanism is also now pretty well understood even though it wasn't at the time that that theory of speciation was proposed. There is just no plausible theory underlying astrology's supposed correlation of personality traits to planetary/stellar alignments.

No.

And the people who order their lives around horoscopes are as dumb as the people who make financial decisions thinking they will or will not be "Left Behind"...

Never believed in them but used to enjoy reading them.

I kinda get what your saying. I don't believe the horoscope bs at all. The personality stuff I did find a lot of it to match up though. And when looking at what it said about other signs, my friends seemed to match up pretty good too.

I sense that the month of February has significance for you.
