Zodiac signs (dance, career, quote)

BoopieJones · 02-16-2009, 01:31 AM

I'm a Sag, and I feel I act like one to the T, and often see people around me acting like their respective signs. I'm not one to believe in this stuff, but some of it is legit for me. Is yours legit for you?

Life Pursuit: To live the good lifeI feel like this is so true, for me, because I believe the best goal in life is to attain happiness and enjoy your ride.

Vibration: Overly expressive - frequent burnoutsI often express myself too much. Very emotional. I "burn out" often, but then I'm back to my hyper and cheery outspoken self.

Sagittarian's Secret Desire: To make a difference in the world Silly but it's something I wish I could do. Definitely why I took such an interest in Model UN and probably why I wish I could be a writer,even though I can't write, or to do something influential, like start a foundation...

Description:
Ruled by the benefic planet Jupiter, Sagittarians possess a natural exuberance, sense of adventure and love of life that makes them one of the most optimistic zodiac signs of all.Very true Like their astrological symbol - the Archer - Sagittarians are renowned for aiming their sights towards whatever it is they find alluring - a love partner, dream job, vacation - and making it their own. They believe that anything is possible - and because of this belief system, Sagittarians are adept at seeking out their very own pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.Also, pretty true

But sometimes trying to tie down these free-spirited individuals is frustrating for those around them. Sagittarians are happiest on the move - exploring new cultures and ideas and many are attracted to occupations related to travel, the media, outdoor work and philosophical pursuits.True, but then why am I going for a career in Engineering? I'm drawn to problem solving In love, their catch-cry is "don't fence me in". But once they find a partner who understands their need to retain their own sense of self and identity, Sagittarians can be the most big-hearted, generous and fun-loving companions of all.Werd

Freedom loving, optimistic and honest, Sagittarians are ruled by Jupiter, the planet of abundance and higher learning. The wisdom of Jupiter imbibes Sagittarians with an inherent need to develop their own unique philosophy of life. IndeedThe Centaur is their astrological symbol, and it gives many insights into the Sagittarian personality. The higher-evolved Sagittarian learns to integrate the two ends of the Centaur (half-human, half-beast) in order for their arrow (another Sagittarian symbol) of higher aspirations to be more on the mark. I feel this is true. I set my goals high but realistically highAlthough they are intellectually and spiritually advanced, Sagittarians are notorious for their lack of tact. YES. THIS IS ME.In relationships they demand independence, but when in love, it can't be denied that they are one of the most big-hearted signs of the zodiac. Also true

Mine is creepily true.

Yours?

I'm an Aries. I guess it sort of fits me but the fact of the matter is all of the zodiac signs sort of fit everybody.

I'm taurus and, of course, some of the traditional taurus things apply for me, although probably not more than they do for people in general.

I don't believe in astrology. I once read this interesting article about someone who had made a horoscope, then given it to several people. All the people (hundreds) had the same horoscope and then they asked if they thought the horoscope fit them. A very large majority said that it did and of those, a good chunk claimed that it fit very well - even though it was the same for all. I just wish I knew where I read about this so I could post a source .. Maybe someone who reads this will recognise it and can help out with a link

People are really good at associating. If you have random claims about your future, then some of them are likely to be correct - even if only by chance. Many people mentally latch onto that and think of them as predictions.

I used to read tarot cards which function in a similar way. First, the cards make general claims about the past and it's influence .. Almost always, these are "correct" in that perhaps 80% of the time, the person will know specific events that they can tie the cards to. In the other 20%, they usually would ask me if it could be this or this and I would help them find something (decieve them). Only very rarely would the cards not work .. The cards also do the same for the current situation - a bit more unreliable, but pretty much works the same way - and these two deceptions set people up for believing in the final predictions made by the cards about the future.

It's just humbug. Horoscopes and other ways to read futures is just randomness mixed with quite a bit of deception. Anyone who knows statistics and perhaps a little about human nature should be able to see that.

edit :

BJ, characteristics of the different zodiacs are usually things that are true for a very large amount of people. Lots in your zodiac description applies to me as well, possibly just as well as it applies to yourself. Describing people's personalities with fairly general traits is an art used not only in astrology, but also by people who do cold readings (to gain trust) and other ways of decieving others.

"This says I'm supposed to be down to earth and pragmatic .. Well ... Yes, that is excatly like me!" <- gullible

Oh I know, it is bull****. I said I'm not one to believe in this stuff, but I always found it very interesting how the Sagittarius seems to fit me very well. But, i agree that horoscopes are general and can apply to anyone. I think its also very interesting how people can find themselves in general description.
