Star Signs and The Zodiac...

...This is weird, you see I'm the kind of guy that doesn't believe in this "rubbish". I'm not religious or superstitious, yet I stumbled accross this site http://www.kellystarsigns.com and can't believe how eerily correct the star sign descriptions are. I challenge you to read your own star signs and those of the closest people to you and see for yourself. Also worth checking out is the relationship compatibility guide, between signs.

Funnily enough my last girlfriend was an Aquarius, which is apparently the worst match for me

mmm, wonder why it went t!t's up

Pisces 20 February - 20 March
They are everyone's friend so can be a touch easily led because fish have no backbones. In other words they can't say 'no'.

Aries 21 March - 20 April
Aries are reckless and determined. Nothing will stand in their way if they can help it, including people.

So, let's see. Birthday 20 March and you're easily led and spineless. Birthday 21 March and you're reckless and determined. I think not, somehow!

Sorry, they are always written like buckshot...one part of it is bound to hit home/be true to you. The rest miss the target.

I've always considered horoscopes to be total pants and my opinion is reinforced from that site. It makes 16 assertions about someone of my 'sign' and only 4 of them are correct.

Ditto, they are just mumbo jumbo and rarely even close.

It's all a load of bollox if you ask me.

Some people get comfort from it, so I wouldn't like to write off their feelings for it so bluntly but personally I can see nothing in it and have never been impressed by anything an 'astrologer' has ever said. Each to their own I 'spose, I mean some people even believe in this Jesus guy

sorry for being so blunt Russ, but I know people who swear by these things and they regularly stuff things up big time. They then refuse to believe it was because they followed what they were told by this guff.

They also hate change, especially in a relationship because they're very loyal. Taureans are extremely attractive and creative...They love flowers, music and the opera. They are the best mates you'll ever have.

Well that's bang on target for me. Because i'm surrounded by flowers and opera CDs

I suppose the bit where it calls me fat is true, although a bit below the belt. I would like to add that I don't steal food off anyone's plates despite what that stupid bird/bloke says. So feel free to come round for dinner, you won't have to guard your plate.

But I mean, come on, there has got to be tens of thousands of people born on my birthday in this country alone. Hundreds of thousands if you count everyone in the star sign. Are they all fat opera lovers? There are no taureans that are rash at making descisions, or thin, or cheat on anyone? You just can't group people like that. You can't even group people more definitvely like fat people are all greedy and clumsy, or that black people are good dancers, or that jewish people are careful with their money. We all very with different amounts of nature and nurture, while some people will, by chance conform to a stereotype, no stereotype will ever stand up. There will always be people who buck a stereotype.

I suppose if it honestly gives people something that they can belive in, makes them happy, etc then it is fine, and you can take it or leave it, but I just don't believe in it.

Hey no need to apologise to me, I happen to agree with you
