What's your sign?

[Springhosen]

@Glamour: I think that's just a huge misconception of Southerners. It might have applied to the Old South but not now.

Upon Femme's request, here's a description of my sign. I read it to my mother to see if it described me and she said it was pretty accurate, I think it's pretty accurate too. This is taken from astrology-online.

Aquarians basically possess strong and attractive personalities. They fall into two principle types: one shy, sensitive, gentle and patient; the other exuberant, lively and exhibitionist, sometimes hiding the considerable depths of their character under a cloak of frivolity. Both types are strong willed and forceful in their different ways and have strong convictions, though as they seek truth above all things, they are usually honest enough to change their opinions, however firmly held, if evidence comes to light which persuades them that they have been mistaken. They have a breadth of vision that brings diverse factors into a whole, and can see both sides of an argument without shilly-shallying as to which side to take. Consequently they are unprejudiced and tolerant of other points of view. This is because they can see the validity of the argument, even if they do not accept it themselves. They obey the Quaker exhortation to "Be open to truth, from whatever source it comes," and are prepared to learn from everyone.

Both types are humane, frank, serious minded, genial, refined, sometimes ethereal, and idealistic, though this last quality is tempered with a sensible practicality. They are quick, active and persevering without being self-assertive, and express themselves with reason, moderation and sometimes, a dry humor.

They are nearly always intelligent, concise, clear and logical. Many are strongly imaginative and psychically intuitive, so that the Age of Aquarius, which is about to begin, is much anticipated by psychic circles as an age in which mankind will experience a great spiritual awakening. The Aquarian philosophical and spiritual bent may be dangerous in that it can drive the subjects into an ivory-tower existence where they meditate on abstractions that bear little relevance to life. On the other hand it can help the many who have scientific leanings to combine these with the Aquarian yearning for the universal recognition of the brotherhood of man, and to embark on scientific research to fulfill their philanthropic ideals of benefiting mankind. When some cause or work of this nature inspires them, they are capable of such devotion to it that they may drive themselves to the point of exhaustion and even risk injuring their health.

Both types need to retire from the world at times and to become temporary loners. They appreciate opportunities for meditation or, if they are religious, of retreats. Even in company they are fiercely independent, refusing to follow the crowd. They dislike interference by others, however helpfully intended, and will accept it only on their own terms. Normally they have good taste in drama, music and art, and are also gifted in the arts, especially drama.

In spite of the often intensely magnetic, forthcoming and open personality of the more extrovert kind of Aquarian, and of their desire to help humanity, neither type makes friends easily. They sometimes appear to condescend to others and take too little trouble to cultivate the acquaintance of people who do not particularly appeal to them.They do not give themselves easily - perhaps their judgment of human nature is too good for that - and are sometimes accounted cold. But once they decide that someone is worthy of their friendship or love, they can exert an almost hypnotic and irresistible mental attraction on them and will themselves become tenacious friends or lovers, ready to sacrifice everything for their partners and be faithful to them for life. However, they are sometimes disappointed emotionally because their own high personal ideals cause them to demand more of others than is reasonable. And if they are deceived their anger is terrible. If disillusioned, they do not forgive.

Aquarians work best in group projects, provided that they are recognized as having a leading part in them. They have a feeling of unity with nature and a desire for knowledge and truth that makes them admirable scientists, especially astronomers and natural historians. They may excel in photography, radiography, electronics - anything connected with the electrical and radio industries - aviation and everything technical. On the arts and humanities side their progressive tendencies can be expressed in writing, especially poetry, and broadcasting, or as welfare workers and teachers. Some have gifts as entertainers and make good character actors (having an ability to mimic) and musicians. The more psychic among them possess healing gifts, especially in curing the mentally sick.

Among the faults to which they are liable are fanatical eccentricity, wayward egotism, excessive detachment and an inclination to retreat from life and society, and a tendency to be extremely dogmatic in their opinions. Aquarians can be a threat to all they survey or a great boon for humanity in general. Circumstances - for example, continuous opposition to a cause they hold dear - may cause the atrophy of the openness of mind that is one of the Aquarian's most attractive traits. They may express a lack of integrity in broken promises, secretiveness or cunning. Simmering anger and resentment, rudeness or, worse, a tense, threatening silence which may suddenly burst out in eruptions of extreme temper, these are all part of the negative side of the Aquarian. This can also reveal itself in a sustained hatred for enemies that is capable of enlarging itself into a misanthropy toward the whole of mankind.

Everyone should posts summaries of their sign so we can read them! Www. astrologyindepth.com is a good source to use.

Sounds about right.

Fantastic idea. You know, I've read Aries has a lot of chemistry with Libra, and now I see why. Libra is ruled by Venus. I'm always instantly attracted to Leos because they have a "swagga" to them, but in the long term, I find Aries very fulfilling. I had the biggest crush on an Aries once upon a time... I don't think he could stand me at first because I'm the opposite of him, but we became really close friends.

Using atrologyindepth:

Libra is normally a very sociable sign. It is quite concerned with its social environment and seeks to impact, and normally bring some sense of balance into it. It is somewhat intellectual in demeanor, and surely does not like boring people. This sign has a natural flirtatious inclination and it is usually charming in character (unless the astrological chart is very difficult). This especially finds expression when Mercury is in this sign and unafflicted.

Libras like to see fair play, and usually do not take well to displays of unkindness. Like Taurus (both are ruled by Venus), the sign of Libra generally reflects refined senses which normally does not bode well with unsightly things. With moderately difficult indications in the chart, it may repress much disagreeable content out of the limelight, however unusual Uranus influences may change this pattern of behavior. With heavy negative indications the Libra individual may well lose the balance of this sign in a dramatic fashion, but this often comes at a price of internal torment. A Libra often has a rather ostentatious appearance.

Libra tends to be quite indecisive, often taking too many things into consideration, and procrastinating making decisions or acting on them. A strong influence by Mars can assuage this with some restless impulsivity, but then the person may wind up making mistakes. A strong Mercury set-up in the chart can help to override these natural Libra issues.

They usually draw to people with open, fun personalities who aren't prone to acting disagreeably. They themselves usually take pains not to act as such (unless very afflicted) normally even if this involves bending the truth to a degree. Here again this pattern may break-clean with unusual influences by Uranus. In romantic partners, looks usually take on a great importance.

Libras can sometimes reflect other people's behavior, and although they do not usually like conflict, they can find themselves acting in ways they don't like around negative people, often rendering them extremely unhappy (especially in a chart with sensitive elements).

Libra is usually quite a considerate sign, unless Mars is prominent which can make the individual only appear to be so, or reflect the individual's use of diplomacy as a tool to get what he wants. This sign tends to love itself, and can have a somewhat supercilious demeanor. It can be a bit too delicate and take things to heart. They can be a bit silly sometimes, and are fascinated by and susceptible to kitsch.

Libra is usually an open-minded sign, willing and wanting to listen to what others have to say.

I can't imagine why anyone would be bored with me.

I'm sorry, but if signs tell you seem boring to a specific group of people you can't do anything about it. You'd better get used to it.

I'm a Gemini with a Taurus moon sign. Makes for an interesting character I must admit lol.

Hey Fellow Gemini!

 

[cheezMcNASTY]

Not a big fan of astrology. It's not that I mind checking it every once and a while; I don't. I've just dated too many girls who take it way too seriously. I don't like having my personality or my compatibility in a relationship judged by something like that.

I was born a gemini. Under the new signs I'm a taurus.

 

[Sonnentreppe]

Yeah. I think it can get a little out of hand. I would never say, "Ew, you're a Cancer; I can't date you!" That is a little ridiculous... Under the "new" signs I'm a Virgo, but I don't really pay attention to that at all because the western zodiac is based on fiction (mythology), first of all, and secondly stars, to me, so I think the new placement of stars is somewhat irrelevant. Plus, I like being a Libra!

 

[Springhosen]

I'm not entirely sure but I think I'm still an Aquarius under the new signs...*runs and checks* Yeah, I'm still an Aquarius.

 

[VP-70]

We gemini's will take over the world on the 21st, of the 12th 2012!

From the burning skies we enter, on chariots pulled by Rabid Skydiving Otters!
Oh aye!

Capricorn.
That's good I guess?

Yes it's very good, as good as Unicorn.

Darling I removed two links from the text you had quoted. They pointed at a second third party site and I don't think you had put the links there on purpose, because I doubt you would have linked one word twice in the same paragraph, it seemed like adwords. Let me know if I'm wrong.

I'm a Libra and I don't know how to copy the article including BB-code for colored words and tags, so I just quote Glamour's post.

Anyone think some of that describes me? I do, but it could be that I expect to find myself there - I have heard about most of the Libra traits before. One big error at the end; I hate kitsch.

You're right, I didn't put those links there. I think they were there on the original site and when I copied the info from there, the links copied as well. Thanks for removing them.

You seem like a good Libra so far, but maybe I don't know you enough. I'll let you know.

Oh, and I don't even know what Kitsch is!

 

[Romero]

Yes do that.

Definition of kitsch:
n.

1. Sentimentality or vulgar, often pretentious bad taste, especially in the arts: "When money tries to buy beauty it tends to purchase a kind of courteous kitsch" (William H. Gass).​

Kitsch (loanword from German) is a form of art that is considered an inferior, tasteless copy of an extant style of art or a worthless imitation of art of recognized value. The concept is associated with the deliberate use of elements that may be thought of as cultural icons while making cheap mass-produced objects that are unoriginal.

But after searching "kitsch art" images, I have to modify my earlier statement. It's not that bad, I can't say I hate it because some of the art seems to be good. But I don't love it and I know I have seen terrible examples before.

 

[Angel]

I seriously don't get how every single person born within a certain time frame can be identical (or at least REALLY similar) in personality. That's just too...boring, I guess. Not to mention a complete nightmare if you all live together, presumably.

I agree, although somehow..it's true that all Scorpios hate each other upon first meeting. That's happened with me a few times, but I'm pretty close to those Scorpios now lmao. Go figure.
