Whats your zodiac sign??

Cancer, suits me also

I think all of them suit me.
Kinda like how everyone's horoscope applies to me in some way...

And that's the gaff.

Pretty much.

I think when someone mentions their star sign we then try to find some aspect of our personality that fits in with the traits of that particular sign and then realise it's a right load of old cobblers and people born under one sign are completely different anyhow.

Truly.

Closest I've come to a standard analysis actually encapsulating me in an relatively uncanny way was the Meyers-Briggs typology. Everything else is just far too loose to not be selectively coincidental.

B-b-but I really have horns and hooves, just like my sign!

just curious here. i don't put any real worth in astrology, i just find it to be amusing coincidences for the most part, but have you checked any of the combined profiles of Eastern and Western astrology?

i'll use myself as a simple example Libra born in the year of the Dragon. standard traditional astrology says X stuff about all Libras, and Y stuff about all Dragons, neither of which is really that close to me but all kind of relates. now the new combined approach says Z about Libra Dragons which actually seems to be a lot closer to my fundamental gut instincts than either the Libra or Dragon profiles ever were on their own.

still not anything like a map of my cosmic soul or anything that ridiculous but definitely more entertaining and thought provoking than what i read on the placemat while waiting for my Szechuan combo or in the paper next to the funnies.

As others have said, Myers Briggs and The Enneagram are by far more useful than newspaper horoscope. However, for those interested in their horoscope...you should probably find out your birthchart (it can be done for free online), as your horoscope (Cancer, Taurus etc.) actually signifies nothing on its own, it's just a Sun sign. It's actually supposed to be read in the context of a personalised birthchart. Still, approach with caution, especially if you ever encounter somebody asking for money.

Yeah Astrology is way too vague. The Meyers Briggs typology is quite well designed and the results people get from the questionnaires tend to be pretty accurate.

sounds like you've looked into combined readings and stuff hehe. have you ever gone so far as to pay to get a proper birthchart done up? i've thought about it as a lark in the past, just curious to see what i'd end up with. never seen anyone offer to do one of those for free though, they seem quite extensive.
