what do you think of the zodiac?

[malcolm]

do you see the zodiac as an early form of psychological profiling dating aronud star alignments and numerology or as a form of divination?
and for more fun, what are your zodiacs? being as there is more than one type of zodiac

mine are:
virgo monkey element metal
born under the hours of monkey
and if you add all the letter sin my name together it equals out to nine which is the cycle of you guessed it-monkey.

[malcolm]

oops. misconuted cus i was counting on my fingers. name added up eqquals 1 which added to my birthday month, day and year equals 7

[KessM]

i think its cook. im a leo and im a snake in the chinese zodiac. i dont know the rest of what you are saying though :/

[Ajax Knucklebones]

I think it's possible for a group born in the same month to possibly have certain same characteristics, but truthfully I think it's all bogus. I've met people that were born ON my birthdate and every single one that I've met, were nothing like me.

As for horoscopes....They may be fun to read, but it's friggin' ridiculous if you think there is some truth to them. You're telling me that millions of people, all born under the same sign, are all going to have the same sort of day?

Btw...I was born in the year of the cock. THAT I think is great!

oh the element and number?
that's eays. in the chinese zodiac,

there actually two governing powers to it, the animal of the twelve cycles as well as one of the five elements,
earth, water, fire, wood and metal.

i am assuming you were born around 89 so you would be an earth snake.
or a fire snake if you born around 77

as for hours, hours are basically just "lucky hours" etc.
I was born around 445 pm and the hours of monkey are 3:00 to 4:59pm

as for number: that's done by taking all the letters in your name and adding then adding until you reach a base number then adding al thenumbers of your birthdate month day and year, adding those together and then adding those together with your number from your name.

I look at this as more of a old school method of psychological profiling more than anything else I know some even go as far as to determine blood type to fit a personality (mine is o pos.)
as for divinaiton, it's fun to read horoscopes and some really do hit interesting turnouts. i've been reading one that has been pretty eery latelynot to say accurate or that its sooth saying but rather that I see things it says to look out for happening as the dya unfolds. it all depends on the person viewing it and determining if its bunk or not.

[VoltaireBlue]

I don't believe in signs. I believe in people.

[Aza]

I put about as much faith into Astrology as I put into anything else over which I haven't complete control... though I have shuddered in the past at how classically Aquarian I can be. I am fairly proud to have been born in a Year of the Dragon... though purely for reasons geeky in nature.

[mystoo]

I'm a dragon too. And a Gemini. I'm not a big believer in the zodiac but I think it's true what they say about Geminis.

[Mr Karl]

seeing as how china is on another hemisphere mine probably doesn't really apply

[nathanmbailey]

Not really, but sometimes I read the horoscopes. I'm a Libra. According to WikiAnswers, the Chinese zodiac sign is Fire Tiger. I dunno, whatever.

[Mindgames]

I see it as a useful and reliable way for the editor of a small-town newspaper to fill the slot between the obits and the advert for John Deere, without having to do any real journalism.

[Bikerpunk]

The Zodiac says I am a "dark pillar of sexual magnetism".

*blinks*

Sure I am.

My verdict: BULLSHIT.

[soma_stardust]

actually if you get an asrologer who knows what they're doing, it can be very insightful.
at any rate, i was born right on the aries/taurus cusp. so i'm a bit of both.
rising sign: libra/scorpio cusp.

chinese year of the horse.
happy birthday me! yeah!

there are many many many variables in astrology. do you realise how many celestial bodies are out there?
it all depends on day, month, year, hour, place of birth...
and then you take in to consideration not just the sun, but the moon, the planets, even shit like asteroids. then you analyze their relationships to each other.
very complex, and the reason that not all people born in the same month act the same. i have noticed the broadest generalities can often be true for people under a certain sun sign, but not always.

But to me, that spells "coincedence".

[Mr Karl]

uh, yeah it's the science of coincidence

[ROGIZOID]

Everything about the my personal zodiac and the close people around me have been dead on.
I think i analyze people way too much though lol.

Im a leo.
