The zodiac is just fucked up

[godix]

So apparently I'm a Virgo, which is an earth sign. According to wikipedia, "The Earth signs show propriety. They are conventional, proper and fitting. They follow what is socially acceptable in conduct, behavior and speech. They have excellent manners and are very polite. They are prudent and have a deep regard for conventional rules of behavior."

I think I've single handedly just disproved the idea that the zodiac means jack shit.

I think most rational people have already figured that out ....

I'm a Virgo, and that oddly fits me in real life. >____<

I'm a Scorpio, which is a water sign:

Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces)-- The Water signs exhibit benevolence. These type people are charitable, have a kindly disposition and promote goodwill. They are concerned with the welfare of others. Where other people are concerned they are kind, generous and philanthropic. They seldom harbor hostility. They derive pleasure from doing good deeds. The philosophers called the Water signs servers. People under this sign are cooperative, companionable, hospitable and socialable. They are true humanitarians and are concerned with the welfare of other people. They are called servants or servers because of their unselfishness and sincere devotion to the welfare of humanity. They unconditionally come to the aid of the sick and the unfortunate just as they would for one of their own family, and most often ask nothing in return. The Water signs have an emotional nature. They have strong feelings and sensibilities. They tend to make decisions based on their emotions rather than by reason. Although they are emotional in nature, they do not outwardly express it. Their feelings are hurt easily but they tend to not let it show. The Water signs' emotions are directed toward other people. They are deeply concerned about the welfare of their friends and family. They also care about what other people think and say about them. An insensitive remark from someone can hurt their feelings deeply, although they may not show it. They give of themselves and their material possessions freely to help a less-advantaged person gain confidence and stature. They will go all out where close friends or family is concerned. It is not easy to make friends with a water sign because they are skeptical and naturally shy. They will be generous and kind to a certain point, but when you gain their confidence you will have an all-weather friend who will stand by you through your struggles. The Water sign's fault is being untruthful. They will suppress the truth by words, writing and conduct to do damage to another. This is not spite. This is their non-violent way of getting their revenge. Milder cases include stretching the truth a little, not exactly untrue but not the real truth. Water signs are emotional people and tend to get carried away in the heat of a situation. These people are not prone to physical violence normally, but being of an emotional nature and having the tendency to let things build up inside them, they can become extremely abusive. The exception is the sign Scorpio. Scorpios are self-confident, intelligent, and strong-willed....they will tell it like it is - whether you like it or not makes no difference to them. They will resort to caustic verbal and oftentimes physical violence in an instant.

While I do not believe in astrology, I find that definition to be mostly fitting... isn't it?

I'm a Sagittarius. I'm charming, honest to a fault, cavalier, optimistic, hate to by tied down, and love to fuck lots and lots of women.

I'm also an Ox. I'm stubborn, arrogant, power hungry, eloquent, ambitious, love wealth and status, and will one day rule the world.

Intentionally broad, sweeping statements that have a degree of flattery are agreeable to the vast majority of the population in one way or another... that's how it works.

[mirkosp]

Well of course, who doesn't like to be flattered a bit?

I personally just enjoy these things like a spectacle. Something fun and enjoyable to have and do, I don't read too deeply into these things, but why not enjoy them at face value?

But if people really have faith in these things, it's not inherently wrong of them either.

Not wrong... simply illogical and foolish.

I am the superstitious type and I used to follow the horoscopes, although most of the time they didn't really help out much.

I am an Ox (specifically a Wood Ox) and a Scorpio which reads something like

SCORPIO OX

Determination and strong will characterize the Scorpio Ox. These Oxen will strive and do whatever they must in order to reach their goal. They are intense lovers, but you’ll never be able to read their emotions because they keep them tucked away.

Which pretty much describes me, even if it is pretty broad. I also figured out my most compatible partner would be a Cancer/Rat, Cancer/Rooster, Capricorn/Rat, Capricorn/Rooster.
