Anyone Believe In Star Signs/Astrology?

I'm a rare breed Johnathan, we only come around every 60 years, I'm a Chinese Fire Horse born in December 1966. The previous Fire Horses would have born in 1906.

Sagittarius (astrology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (sums me up to a tee).

Every Sagittarius Fire Horse (1966) I speak to and I've known a few, all of us have minds going at a 1000mph with an insatiable appetite for more knowledge. And me, I was born at first light on the first day of winter.

For further info pick up a copy of Linda Goodman's Love Signs book, this describes us very well with all our inherent qualities and goofs and believe you me, there's plenty of them amongst our rare breed.

Famous people who are also Saggitarian Fire Horses born in 1966?

Sinead O'Connor springs to mind with this beautiful, beautiful song...

I wouldn't use the word 'believe' - but I have 'analyzed' it for decades and apart from the BS predictions/fortune telling *******ization of the 'art', I find it to be true.

I look at it from a psychological point of view and the roots of this 'science' of psychology are in fact astrology. I find the characteristics of the various signs to be right on as well as relationships to other signs.

This of course must take into consideration several aspects - not just the sun sign (birth date) but many other factors specific to each chart that may make a person totally different than just a shallow 'you are an X'.

So yes...

I don't think it's so far fetched to think that the energy we are born under can have an effect on who we are.

That said, though, about the only thing the daily horoscope and most books are good for is entertainment. I did have a chart made once by an expert from the East and it was so accurate and detailed that it was frightening.

Hey, that worked! Thanks Terra.

Now I'm wondering why there is a big white spot on the side. lol

Yeah, sorry,the big white spot is the ceiling light.I can's seem to take a picture without that getting in it somewhere.
I don't understand why you both are having problems seeing it though. I click the thumbnail and the lightbox opens and I see it fine. So I don't know either if its computer or forum issue.

I don't know what the deal is, Kim. I tried it in three browserss (IE, FF and Chrome) to see if it was a browser issue but I have the same thing happen in all three. I'm leaning toward it being a forum issue. I don't think it would be my security settings as I can see lightboxes on other sites just fine.

Dennis - I had that issue until I read Terra's post about a new window. Then I tried and it kicked me out to a screen saying I am not logged in to the Warrior Forum.

But then I right clicked BEFORE I did anything else to the image, picked open in a new window and viola! It worked and I saw the pretty blue painting with the white spot! (Chrome)

I believe that is what is real, they can guess correctly 80% of your future.

Well, I was just showing off my Zodiac print.
In the various things I have studied over the years are the Zodiac,Horoscopes,Numerology,Palm Reading,graphology,runes etc etc.

Mark. I'h guessing prices are a lot different here in the US and where you are. And maybe my picture makes it look a lot smaller than it it. I would say it is about 4 feet by 6 feet,maybe larger. Any framer around here would have charged in the hundreds to have done the job.

For $75 around here I could maybe get a 8.5 by 11 inch print framed, I think thats called A4 size over there.

I was lucky in that I did a barter because I got it while I still have my computer shop open and all I basically had to do was set up her stores network for her.

No, I've never been to the UK, though maybe one day....
My sister is an artist and she does her own framing. Must be the markup here is a lot higher,I dont know but I would never find the prices your talking anywhere around here.

lol, thanks Mark but I won't be needing any framing done anytime soon.
On the occasions I do get some art from my sister,she has already framed it and the picture I posted was a once in a lifetime thing.

i do not believe in star signs/astrology since it is only us who create our own destiny. and no one or nothing could ever foretell what will happen to us in the future. but our decision now affects our future!

I can tell you what will happen in the future. I predict in the next 5 minutes I will be having some Thin Mints.

I don't believe in it but I'm fond of reading stuff about it. Just for personal knowledge.

That whole Pluto is/is not a planet really fracked up my charts.....******* astronomers.


This post smiley captioned for the humor impaired.

I definitely find them interesting. But don't put too much weight in them.

This kind of sums up how I feel about it...

Well, I didn't get a million dollars, but if I was a clipart man I'd think that clipart woman was kinda hot.

For one, I'd like to say.. That I don't believe in Astrology. Its a half science with some truth to it.. But I'm a firm skeptic when it calms to readings.. Especially when it comes to the Sun Signs.. But mostly.. I think that Horoscopes is one of the biggest marketing scams in the world. Can someone tell me how people's can have "set personalities" based on the days/months (signs) they were born under--that differentiate themselves from people who were born on different sun signs-- based on the way the earth, moon, and starts are aligned in the universe?
And can someone tell me how these damn astrologers got their info? It sounds do divine and laughable to me.. This is not some lame attempt to hate on people who believe in horoscopes.. But I doubt anyone can give me actual scientific research to explain to me why horoscopes can be true. But seriously.. I know people who avoid others based on their "compatibility" from their star signs. This hurts close to home because.. My sister is not very close to my mother, and she actually claims that.. because she is a Pisces, she cannot get along with Aries people, which happens to be the sign my mother was born into.. I overheard her specifically tell my mother she can't get along with her.. BECAUSE OF THAT!!!

Yasir - your birth is supposed to reveal what energies you resonate with. Behind the idea of horoscopes - which is an ancient study - is the idea that the spirit comes to earth to learn and to fulfill a specific function in the spirit's evolution, or becoming. Many of the ancients were extremely absorbed in the philosophies of energy, as well as mathematics. They saw coincidence between the two to the point that in their life practices and their thoughts they were basically the same element. And that is where the idea of horoscopes originated.

I'm assuming that somewhere down the centuries and millennia since the horoscope's creation, most of the keys to many of the intricacies of horoscope calculation have been lost. While I've never seen a modern rendition of a horoscope that fit me all that precisely (most being bizarrely widely interpretable "facts"), I did have a chart done for me once that was intensely and eerily correct, with little room for interpretation, and not many "blanket" statements. The person who bought the chart for me got it from someone in the East somewhere. India? Egypt? Can't remember now. It defied anything I've ever seen called zodiac, though.

Anyway - that should answer your question about what the source of Zodiac is. Whether we have the same animal now or not is debatable. Whether the ancients knew something we don't is also something we can continue to debate and will probably never be able to answer. But then - I prefer the world in color to black and white anyhow.

By the waay,anyone want a printout of their horoscope just send me your birthdate and time of birth ,if known, and $75 and I will email you back your own personalized report within 48-72 hours!





















































Again,Just Kidding!

No offense Jonathan but you can't have it both ways.You can't think its cold reading but also think its real.Unless I am misunderstanding what your saying,which is why I asked you to give me your meaning of cold reading.

There is a difference between is it real and is it helping someone. There are many out there that really believe that what theya re doing is real. And some actually do give advice that is helpful at times.

As far as Eban Pagan ( is that really his real name? Pagan?) He is what he is. He was certainly the "in" guy for a while I probably shouldn't even admit this but I even watched some of his "wedding".
I do do horoscopes sometimes,but its always for entertainmnet and I tell the person that.
Which is not the same as the post I made which was really sarcastic.

I try never to tell anyone what to believe or not. I tyhink Rush says it well here:

We agree.

Don't know if I'm a astrology believe but I read through my star sign almost everyday :O

in ancient time man go one place to another place by the help of moon and stars. so i believe in astrology.
