Twins. Address that please.

And also, if that was true, you'd have large swaths of people with close personalities who were born on the same day. I've never seen this to be true. The closest personaility match to myself (and I mean identical to mine, not complimentary) was born in July.

Also, lets do a test. Do you know my birthday yet? If you do, it won't work, but if you don't, it will.

If you think that anyone can tell anything about you by some clickety clacks on a keyboard, other than you like to go on the internet, and, at least in this forum you like to confront issues, you have more problems than what sign you are ~smirks~

People who see things intuitively judge and perceive based on perceptions through observations and interactions in person. I do contend that no one can truelly understand the "meat" of someone through interaction on a computer based on the non verbal part missing, actions missing, and consistancy missing. Additionally, people can show or not show anything they would like.

An opinion is not a basis of a personality, so your commentary on the forums is not sufficiant to base the complexity of the human spirit or soul, what makes you you. Even the most dull and logical of personalities has more ebb and flow to it.

O.o was any of that english?

And if it's not a lot of bullshit, name ONE reputable statistical survey that gives anything other than a "no way in hell does sign mean anything."

Anything can be proven or disproven given the right statistics. If you want to talk about bullshit, it would be this math. This is coming from someone who uses this math in my day to day work, as well as for my future studies. Example, you can take a survey at a Republican national convention, and 98% will say that liberals are whiney bastards. Does this mean that this statistic is true? Just because it is founded in mathematics and taken in a scientific manner?

I study Cultural Anthropology myself. I am college educated. I am also a woman of the world and business - my profession is insurance by trade, though it has dabbled in many ends of corporate America, including management. I could research and provide something for you if I tried hard enough. I have had to do that before over stranger things. But statistical studies really have no place in intuition and personal observation.

As far as my former post, I had several people reread it to verify it made sense. What part about it don't you understand? Maybe I can reword it for you...

Random sampling is bunk - and this is coming from a psychologist. Most studies ignore both of these and skew results in order to definitely prove or definitely disprove a theory instead of leaving the true results.

And these results are always changing.

"You need 30 minutes of excercise a day, 3 days a week."
"no no, you need 90 minutes of excercise a day, five days a week."
"This study here says...."


*smirk*

On medication for bladder conditions, some of the side effects can be cramping and abdominal pain - the same thing you're trying to fix.

For comparison:
A tribe in Indonesia has fewer suicides, no debt, and it's major export is the bugs that it picks off of each other than America. Do I go with the statistics?

Isn't this thread about observation anyway?

Look, let me break it down with another example which maybe will more understandable, and is actually pertinant to this thread type.

There are women out there who swear up and down that they can tell what sex of a child they are going to have before they have the child. Sure enough, even before the sonogram, they get it right...every time. They have had six kids, and they still get it right.

There are also women out there who are not able to tell a goddamn thing about their child.

There are women who can tell what the child's personality is in the womb. They swear it. (I am one of those women - couldnt tell the sex, but knew the personality and it continues to ring true even as they get older).

There are going to be plenty of people who say...hogwash. It is a good guess, or based on other factors. Example, my kids are turning out to be like the womb personality because it is what I expect them to be (very cyclic in thinking).

But there are people who swear by instinct and intuition in this world, and it serves them well.

This thread is about intuition, and things that cannot be proven in a lab or on a study. It is about things observed and perceptions based off those observations.

No need to turn it into something it isnt. That is what the science thread is for.

I love it when people try and put things outside the realm of science. Like somehow saying so makes it true. "ZOMG, intuition shouldn't need to be statistically relevant. Why? Because I say so! And here's some personal experience which I'd like to present as verfied and tested fact. I must be right!!!"

Intuition is bullshit.

See? I can make unsubstantiated claims too!!

That is your perception, because you are not intuitively based.

But my intuition has served me incredibly well ~smirks~. It has gotten me far in this life. But I digress because this isnt about me.

Let's talk about science. Science is, in its base element, theories which have not been disproven. Skeptism is healthy, but so is open mind. An observation is not necessarily scientific.

Gee, vanilla ice cream sucks.

Is this scientific? No. It is an observation. And that was the bases of this thread.

Isn't it interesting how some people match up with their astrological signs?

You still have yet to point out what part of my former post you did not understand.

No, the point of this thread was that astrological signs are true. Or generally true. Or partially true. Or true at all. And they're NOT, except in the most broad terms, or through random chance.

And I was having trouble with your post because it was awkwardly worded and lacking punctuation which would have made it clearer.

Also, your vanilla icecream analogy was false. Obervation and "like/dislike" is in no way comparable with prediction or some sort of personality trait assignment, which is easily dismissed with simple statistical surveys.

[quote="Lindar"]http://www.californiapsychics.com/horos ... _love.aspx

I don't know about the rest of you, but genrally speaking (but not always) i find reading about the zodiac fun... this page is the one i ran into today that's amused me.]

This was the beginning of the thread.

Fun.

The thread was about fun and sharing an observation. It certainly should never have turned into a "This is utter bullshit, man. Your observations are stupid!" type of post.

I do apologize my lack of punctuation negated your understanding of the content of my words. I don't really feel the grammer is as important as the substance, personally, but each to their own. If the grammar and sentence structure got in the way of the meaning, by all means, tell me where, and I will reword it in a way that is comprehendable for your grammatical need.

A like is nothing more than a personal observation, so it is pertinent in this case.

I think Robert's example is quite pertinent as well. I wonder why you chose to rebuttal my argument and not his ~smirks~. Interesting. We are saying the same thing. We are both Virgos, mind you. ~laughs~ born 6 days apart. Isn't that an interesting observation?

~brat grins~

Yes, I am playing with you. Because you are taking this way too seriously ~L~

*having assesed what happened during the short period of tie was away...debates*

As Bratty has stated, there's no exactness to it.

It was supposed to be fun.

*frown* and now i don't know if i want to start any mmore threads... i had another that i had in mind... but... after seeing that clearly... fun is not going to be accepted by some...well...*shrug* seems pointless to try and share.

i'm not going to force anything on anyone, especially not when ....

Lindar, don't you stop just because someone was being an asshat, and raining on your parade. They were probably having a bad night, a bad life, or ate something bad which made them gassy :P

Seriously, just because someone blows out of proportion does not mean you should :P Robert and I didn't. Actually, we were quite amused at the responses, because we could have just as easily taken the other side.

Life is never about absolutes, and those who say that it is, in any regard, is full of shit and should be treated as such. Lot of people have something crappy in lives or in themselves, and feel they need to "express" themselves vigorously in ways they can because they cannot in their day to day lives. The proverbial kicking of the dog.

Back on topic....my roomie, Holli, has a book on how to conquer the Zodiac. It gives a run down on what everyone's sign is, how to be that sign's lover, how to be that signs friend, etc. It does it in "bottom line" terms too. It is funny.

Apparently, if you let me boss you around, and talk about work all the time...if you let me "help" and make things better...if you stimulate my mind and talk about concepts and theories with practical application to such...and if you let me pick you apart, put you back together again, and pick you apart without getting weary of it, I am in love ~brat grins~. Part of this is actually quite true...but funny, none the less...

It gives tips on how each zodiac should respond to the other sign, no matter what it is, as well. Robert, my hubby, is a virgo. According to this theory, he and I are basically what happens when you get two hobbits together ~L~. Hardworking, practical, work together... What it does leave out is challenging each other, because he is my bastard, and I am his brat.

You are Gemini...just like my best girlfriend and my ex husband. Gemini chics are hawt with an aw. If you like, I can pull out that book and give you a skinny of what the "bottom line" is for your sign.

And the naysayers will just have to deal :P

Ooooh, my achelies heel, personally. At least those that personify the stereotypical Scorpio, aka Shadowlord, whether they are or are not. They are complicated, intense, sexual, and secretive. For a Virgo, at least Virgo, they are like a project that is never done, always working. Scorpios are the cool. Alas, they are so hard to keep. Silly bad boys.

Per the book:

"Lessons:

Beware the Scorpio Lie A Scorpio will lie about anything she considers none of your business. Like her name, sex and phone number. If you ever find out somebody lied about her birthdate, you'll know she's a Scorpio. Some take this self - protection to extremes. Like Andy Warhol. Only an astrological imbesile would've thought Warhol was a Leo. Just look at the guy: he wore black, he lied about his birth date, he made dirty movies, someone shot him.

Beware the Scorpio Disguise Scorpio is never what he appears on the surface. Or just below the surface. Never ever.
If he reads the "Wall Street Journal" on the commuter train, he reads "Domination Digest" before he goes to bed. If he wears overalls and sports a buzz cut, at home he reads Shakespeare sonnets and watches PBS. If he chantsw mantras and rattles tambourines for the Krishnas, he actively supports the abolition of free speech.
If he ignores you, he wants to screw you.
So you want to take charge of Scorpio. This is tricky, risky even, because Scorpio's so good at taking charge of everyone else. He's been craft and cunning from the time he wore diapers, so he knows what move you'll make even before you make it. Maybe even before you think it. The chances of beating him at the manipulation game are low, and the cost of failure is high. If you get caught, that is. And you will.
Imagine this: You've got an itch for your Scorpio friend's lover. "Ill ask her out," you say. "The worst she can do is turn me down." She turns you down. So what?
So this: Scorp always thought you were out to get him. Now he knows. What'll happen? Don't ask. Just hand him a riding crop, drop your jockey shorts, and bend over.

What not to do with a Scorpio:

Dont flatter Scorpio. Or try and bribe Scorpio. "Dont flatter?" you say. "Dont bribe?" Go ahead. Try it.

Your Scorp husband won't take the nint about buying a new car. So you cook his favorite dinner and wear your naughtiest lingerie. Over a candle-lit dinner, you say, "You really are a peach of a husband."

In the morning, you feel smug about the sweaty night's work you put in after the lights went out. When you wake up, the garage is still empty. So is your bed. Don't worry, he hasn't run off to Bermuda. He's in the kitchen steam opening your mail.
Lesson: Flatter a Scorpio, and he'll think you're plotting against him.

Don't bullshit Scorpio If you're feeling the seduction of social bullshit, do the party circuit with a Gemini. With Scorpio, you'd better be yourself, even if you're afraid she won't like what she sees. Especially if you're afraid she won't like what she sees.
Scorpio (confirming a date): Are we still on for the play tonight?

It sounded like fun a week ago. But now all you want ot do is stay home and pick fleas off your dog. But you're afraid to offend. So what do you say?

You: It sounded fun a week ago, but all I feel like doing tonight is picking fleas off my dog.

Lession: Scorpio was born with a natural bullshit detector, so don't try and be smooth.

Don't tell Scorpio you're secret weapon is astrology.
Lesson: Scorpio assumes astrology was invented just so other people could figure out how to snatch his power and invade his privacy.

He may not believe in astrology, but he'll get nervous if he thinks you're using it to learn how to handle him. A nervous Scorpio is an unsafe Scorpio.

Practice this:
Scorpio: Let's say a person's born in November. What sign does that make him?
You: Umm...Virgo?

Scorpio's Achilles' Heel: Sex

Its the only thing about himself a Scorpio can't hide. You won't have to surreptitously sneak around looking through Scorpio's bedroom drawers to discover her sexual secrets. She'll broadcast them loud and clear - in stereo. Scorpio lives for sex. Radiates sex. Is sex. And if you want to bond tightly with Scorpio, get used to buying condoms by the case.

Luring the Scorpio Lover
Lesson: The universal Scorpio aphrodesiacs are power and mystery.
To attract her, you'd better have plenty of both. But be careful how you show that power and mystery. Something that impresses other signs will probably piss off a Scorpio.

Scorpio Turn Offs
Posers. The Plutonian dislikes phonies. After all, if you're a fake, you must have something to hide. Scorpio is suspicious of and bored by the electronic props of power - like cell phones, PDAs, pages. Leave your poser-phone at home.
Invasions of privacy Scorpio makes a religion out of privacy. Remember that the next time you're temted to snoop through her mail, eavesdrop on her phone call, or look under her bed.
You might guess from all this she detests crowds. How can a person be private in a crowd? If you see her in the middle of one, you can be sure she's on her way somewhere secluded. Intimate even. Leos have a problem here: In close quarters, there's no room for the Leo entourage. Send the entourage on vacation.
Flightiness Scorpio can't stand surprises. If he can't predict something, it means he can't control it. A flight or unpredictable person will send him running.
If you are a typical Aquarius, you better pretend to be a Taurus.

Handling a Scorpio Once you've Got one:
Never fool around sexually Why would you do that anyway? There are reasons to flirt with carnal exploration. Maybe you're sick of multiple orgasms. Or tired of never getting to be on top. Go ahead and experiment. But make the lover a good one - it could be the last you'll have.
Be secretive It's hard to keep secrets from Sherlock. Try, though. He'll get bored if he thinks he's figured you out. Make up a few secrets to keep himinterested. Try locking up your address book, and then watch him turn into amateur safe-cracker.
Play sex games Things getting too routine? Try this.
You: (calling your Scorpio girlfriend at work) Meet me at Chelsea Hotel in two hours. Bring the economy-sized box of condoms, some electrical tape, and a video camera.

Don't do this often, you'll find yourself manacled to a Scorpio without a job."

There is more, like how to deal with a Scorpio boss, detecting a Scorpio, etc, but above at the highlights. the cool :P

#42 Virgos - Cas According to this, I am a tool :P

Post by Bratty »

Per the book:

"Lessons:

Beware the Virgo Intellect Behind Virgo's serene face is a shining mind. This mind will illuminate all the problems in your life. Especially the ones you don't want to see.

Virgo was invested to create order and inject calmness into chaos. Virgo won't do anything to you she's not willing to do to herself. And Virgo will do anything, including organizing her own life. Now she wants to organize yours.
Lesson: If you succomb to the Virgo seduction, Virgo will organize you beyond recognition.

Beware the Virgo Helpfulness
Helpfulness is how Virgo ride the enterance ramp into your mind. It starts out innocently. Say you're in a scuffle with an ATM machine. It keeps spitting out your card and beeping at youin a menacing manner. You try again. The same thing happens. Then you hear a voice coming from somewhere behind.

Voice: Have you tried sticking it in the stripe-side-down?
You: No, I hadn't thought of that.
Voice: Let me show you.
You: (with bemused gratitude when the screen flashes the PIN prompt) Thank you
Voice: Im glad to be of help.

Suddenly you shudder. You feel a chill go down your spine and half expect to see a black limo with tinted windows pulling up along side you. Was it your imagination, or did you hear the phrase Mafioso used when coaxing into a car those inconvenient people who will soon be wearing concrete boots. "Lets go for a ride"
Lesson: If you let Virgo seduce you with helpfulness, you will find your life is in danger. In danger of being taken over by a Virgo.

Do you want to manage the Virgin? Managing others is Virgo's career. Not only does she love her job with a passion that is immoral, but she's also a 168-hour-a-week workaholic. Manipulating Virgo is also quite a task because the Virgo cleverness will spot your efforts to be cunning.
On the flip side, Virgo's compulsion to help you vaults hert into performing feats you'd have to scam all the other signs into doing. Virgo revels in life's tedium: She years to run errands, balance bank statements, and find missing socks. Just ask. Is there a prive for this helpfulness besides your soul? Yes. You'll run on Virgo's schedule. Not only are there no free lunches; there is also no free time.


Manipulation through Communication: How to use Verbosity on Virgo.
Lesson: Virgo may actually listen to you if you use Virgo words.
Attract Virgo with Sexy words. The words schedule, work, polished, detailed, and organize fall into the category of sexy words to a Virgo. So knock yourself out.
Seduce Virgo verballyYou can always get what you want from Virgo if you use certain phrases, especially ones in which you confess your ineptitude.
Try saying things like the following:
You: (squinting at your computer screen while looking confused) Im really stuck. Can you think of a better way to set up this spreadsheet
OR
You: Im making a mess of this. Will you help me pry the spoon out of the garbage disposal?

Then whatever ytou are doing will be out of your hands and into Virgos.
Lesson: Act confused, and Virgo will volunteer to become your non-wage slave.
Communicate with precision.
Lesson: Be precise and logical when talking to Virgo. Do it by learning new Virgo words. Virgo requires precise speech from you, but you don't get it in return. Virgo invents definitions of his own, and you wont find them in Websters of the Oxford English Dictionary.

Virgo's Achilles Heel: Fixing things

The Virgin fixes things like broken alarm clocks, cracked automatic fountain pens fillers, and warped human beings. The compulsion to fix other people's problems makes Virgo the object of interplanetary persuit. Why submit to life's details if Virgo is there to ask:
  • Did you check the oil?
    Did you use the correct postage on that letter?
    Did you remember to pack an extra pair of hiking boots in your backpack?
Some Virgos are so addicted to helping that they do it for a living. It's nice that Virgo's work is also her hobby. Take advantage of it.

Taking shots are Virgo's Achilles heel: Encouraging the Helper to Help you YOUR way
Allow Virgo to help you his way...at first. First, indulge Virgo by letting him do favors for you that he'd like to do, but that you don't need. For example, Virgo is convinced you should reshelve your books. You'd rather h ave a new filing system for your paperwork. After the Virgin has rearranged your books according to subject matter, set him to work on the filing cabinet.
Lesson: Let Virgo have his way at first; then you can have your way with him next.
Keep Virgo busy Virgo's must feel useful. Constantly. Play to it.
You: Will you wait for the telephone repairman on Saturday while I go shopping?
AND
You: Would you like to volunteer to be the bookkepter for the neighborhood investment club?
Virgo will say yes to both.
Lesson: The Virgo idea of hell is to have an empty to-do list and a blank appt calendar.
Complain to Virgo Virgins are problem solvers; they quaff complaints the way alcoholics slam down cocktails. Therefore, its no surprise that Virgos have lots of problems. But they never have enough and are on the make for more. Share your own and those of your friends, family, and coworkers.
Lesson: Aim complains and problems in Virgo's direction. She doesn't mind. She gets off on it.

The Vices of Virginity: The Virgo Lover
Your Virgo is smart, well mannered, devouted, housetrained, and sexy in a quiet way. Virgo is an earth sign, which means the sign is earthy. Sexual. No wonder everyone wants to seduce the Virgin.
Being a salacious sign, Virgo is turned on by many things.

Ask Virgo about Work
You: Your job must be interesting.
Virgo: It is. I design accounts payable systems for natural gas pipelines...
Virgo then goes into great detail about his job, his day at work, the fax machine's paper jame - and all with an expression of rapture usually seen only on the faces of canonization candidates.
Lesson: Asking Virgo about his work is the equivelent of a champagne and black lingerie seduction.

Demenstate your intelligence.
Blow the dust off your diplomas. Frame your Mensa membership. If you have neither, display a few volumes of an encyclopedia, preferably on your bedside table. Virgo will be ensnared.
Lesson: Virgo is turned on by three digit IQs.

Make a good impression on dates.
Make a good impression when treating Virgo to a romantic evening. Virgo is no slave to Emily Post etiquette, but she does like the nicities of romance. Small things count. Like punctuality and communicating well with the waiter.
It's date night with Virgo and you'll stop at nothing to impress. True, you didn't have the exact change for the parking meter. But that didn't hold up thing too long; you were only seven minutes late for your dinner reservation. Later when you tipped the waiter, you did forget the tip should've been for 15% of the bill before tax. But you made up for all that by having to walk only three blocks out of the way to find the car. You made a nice impression. Where's Virgo? Virgo has moved in with you. You're irresistable. You need help.
Lesson: Virgo lovers are turned on by incompetence.

Keeping the Virgo lover interested.
Put fun in Virgo's schedule Self sacrificing Virgo is addicted to delayed gratification and will take anything except a vacation. You want to have fun. Your idea of fun is watching movies, or exploring art museums or frequenting flea markets. Virgos idea of fun is to work and keep a sharp eye on wandering trivia.

You: Let's do something amusing today. How about seeing the Bauhaus exhibit?
Virgo: Im working. Besides, we dont have any social engagements until next Friday.
You: Havent you noticed the new entry on the calendar? We're due at the art museum in an hour.
Lesson: Trick Virgo into having fun by slipping amusements into a slot on the calendar.

Act incompetent Say you're cooking dinner, and youve looped the linguini around the pot handle.

You: This is such a tangle. I cant seem to unravel the pasta.
Virgo: Yes, its a mess.

As Virgo details the linguini, it should remind you
Lesson: Virgo salivates to correct your mistakes. Make them, and let her.

Virgo DONTS

Dont take Virgo criticism personally Virgo's vision is especially keen when it comes to spotting flaws. Everything is capable of improvement. Especially you. Don't take it personally.
Dont disturb or disorganize Virgo's belongings.
Organization is as precioous to the Virgin as harmony is the Libra or a high yield stock portfolio is to the Capricorn. True, Virgo lovers like to fix your mistakes. But dont mess with theirs. Keep the CDs in Virgos music collection in order. Tidy the Virgin's kitchen pantry. Arrange the laundry by color while its still in the laundry basket. Virgo will be enthralled.
Dont alter Virgo's routine. Or environment.
Virgo will critisize you if you do certain things. Virgo is the expert analyst. When it comes to analyzing, Virgo doesn't go both ways."

Justify this. Your claim is the configuration of stars seen from earth somehow influences the personality of every person born under that configuration. Go ahead; justify it.

Take it to PMs or start a thread in SA criticising astrology if you want to discuss irrational beliefs; this forum is for general discussion and the thread itself is meant to be for fun.

I'd like to see how accurate/inaccurate they are. And how much of the accuracy is stuff like "you like to breath air. and eat food. and have sex." ZOMG, how did they know!? :razz:
