Do you care about your sign of the zodiac?


I'm a Virgo and I've always been interested to some degree about what I've read about Virgos. Do I totally believe it? No. I'm sure that an erotica author is breaking some sort of Virgo rule. That said, I definitely have many Virgo traits.

I was born on the 19th of Sept and there is something called the cusp. I don't really understand this but depending on where you look on the internet, I was or was not born on the cusp of Virgo - Libra. I don't get why there isn't any consistency. When I read the traits about that combo, I feel like they are writing about me.

I even have a book that talks about love between different zodiac signs. It's actually fun to read. Would it have affected who I dated before my boyfriend? No. I find it entertaining but I don't live my life by it.

I also look at the Chinese zodiac. I was born the year of the dog. I always tell my boyfriend that between being a Virgo, known for loyalty and faithfulness, and being born the year of the dog, you can't get more loyal than that. He always gives me that "whatever you say" look.

What about you?

Here are most of the dates that would affect us, regarding the Chinese zodiac:

I'm an Aquarian and I do read my horoscope occasionally but I don't take it seriously really. I read that book also and I found it very interesting. We had an English male blogger here a few years ago named Ron and he was into astrology in a big way, He used to write great blogs that were very funny and a lot of the female members used to interact with him and we had many interesting and, often, very funny exchanges with him.

December 3rd, I am a Sagittarius. I don't and never have worried about what sign I was born under.

Well, I'm a Libra and I do not fit that sign at all. Now the Chinese Zodiac I was born the year of the Dragon, does it fit me? Somethings, yes, other things, no way!!

I am a Pisces a water sign. I am the fish that swims around in a circle in the water with azure blue eyes. Years ago I got caught up in the zodiac. I even went as far as to buy the two books by Linda Goodwin - The Love Signs. I must say some of the stuff she wrote about Pisces in those books was really who I was then. It probably isn't true anymore but at the time it made for good reading.

Although I'm fairly true to the characteristics of my sign, and glance at my horoscope most days, I don't take the whole thing seriously.

Thanks Maura. I wish Ron would post. He sounds like fun.

It's amusing to look at your horoscope, as long as it's not taken too seriously.

    Elaine I'm a Leo even though I don't follow or believe in this stuff-- Im a true Leo -- have most of the Characteristics-- leader not a follower -- take charge kind of person type A Personality etc
I'm not surprised by that., Diane. I'm just teasing you. I've never been much of a follower myself.

That sounds like your daughter knows what she's doing, earthytaurus03. One woman many years back asked me some questions and got back to me. She was right about the things she said but didn't do a full chart, as far as I know.

Thanks for that, Nileyears. It seems to be accurate for some more than others.

I know what you mean. What it says can apply to you at one point in your life but can change, Shartaun03. Thanks for your reply.

    Quoting LeafTreat:
    I'm a Pisces and yes I care a great deal about it. I'm also 100% Pisces, the epitome of Pisces if you will. I have never had the opportunity to be in relationship with my supposed 'perfect' sign. I deeply regret missing out on that because of what I know now, I would be madly in love, I'm sure, with that match. It is exactly what I want, and need, in my life.
Don't leave us in suspense, Leaf. What is your "perfect" sign to be in a relationship with? Thanks for your comment.

    Quoting ronthepoet:
    I always smile when I read what others have to say or write about Sun Signs. As an international Astro-Psychologist I can assure all that Astrology has very little to do with Sun Signs and a whole lot to do with Rising Signs, Moon Signs, Housings and various aspects.
    I can take a thousand Leo Sun Signs, or any Sun Sign and show that each one is different, each birth chart is like DNA, with its own characteristics. Of course, I always tell people not to live by it but by understanding it is to understand the psychology of the self... Happy reading all!
Thanks for such an informative response, ronthepoet, and welcome to my blog.
