I don't believe in the day to day predications. But I think the personality profiles are usually on target. I am Cancer the crab. Solid shell that I can retreat into when need be. The mothering sign that collects plants and small fuzzy companions. Mushy and sentimental with a wicked set of claws if aggravated.
How about you?
 

I don't know that I believe in it per se, but somehow most descriptions of Pisces seem to be spot-on ...

[h=3]Character[/h] Pisceans are very caring, compassionate and emotional. In other words, they are total pushovers. They are weak-willed and can usually be persuaded to exchange anything, no matter how precious, (their autographed Beatles ‘White Album’ for example) for a couple of pizza discount vouchers if you tell them that it’s a matter of life or death.


Pisceans are very timid and have great difficulty socializing, and only slightly less difficulty getting out of the house. They particularly hate to be in places where there are lots of strange people around, such as opera houses, public libraries and department store lifts and for this reason also make it a point to avoid family reunions at all costs.


Emerging religious cults with little experience in recruiting often eye Pisceans as easy prey, since only basic brainwashing techniques are necessary. Pisceans should stay away from scruffy, barefooted men with shaggy beards who suddenly turn up and say, “Follow me,” to them 10 times in a row. If you see a Piscean fall under such a spell, simply say, “Don’t you follow him,” to them 11 times and you’ve saved the day.


Pisceans are artistic people who daydream a lot. Their daydreaming has resulted in some of the world’s greatest works of art – and worst traffic accidents. The Highway Code actually suggests that if you find yourself driving behind a Piscean, you should honk your horn loudly at least every 15 seconds as a basic precaution.
[h=3]Love[/h] Pisceans’ love lives quite literally suck. This might very well be because of the way the planet Venus conspicuously steers clear of the Pisces constellation. On the other hand, it might not. Researchers who have studied the matter agree that, whatever the real problem is, Pisceans only make things worse by bathing once a week and staying in most of the time.


Pisceans with internet connections don’t do much better either. At best, they might manage to have sporadic chat-room relationships with other users who go by enticing nicks like pretty19. The only thing pretty about these fat middle-aged men on the other end is their pretty bad body odor.

[h=3]Money[/h] Pisceans are well known for their generosity. If you ever need to borrow a fiver, ask a Piscean and you won’t be disappointed. Try putting on a pitiful face and you might even end up with ten pounds that you don’t have to give back. Pisceans (or rather their money) attract people in the very same way a sticky old sweet attracts an army of ants – and for pretty much the same reasons.
[h=3]Future[/h] Pisceans live life day by day, which is not a bad thing when your future is as rotten as a spring egg at Christmas. Whatever a Piscean tries to do, he will fail. In theory, a Piscean can succeed by deliberately trying to fail, but that’s just not the way it works. If a Piscean tries to fail, he will simply fail miserably; if he tries to fail miserably, he will totally, utterly and completely fail; and if he deliberately tries to do all that, Nature will smite him for being so arrogant. The famous Pisceans mentioned below are simply the exception that proves the rule.

[h=3]Character[/h]Cancers are sensitive and sympathetic, always ready to listen and to help and are very well liked by all – for about 15 minutes. If there is one thing that Cancers are particularly bad at, it is disguising the scheming, manipulative, self-interested intentions behind their every action. And because nobody likes egotistical jerks, nobody likes Cancers.
Cancers are incredibly fond of gullible people. These are the only sort of friends they can hold on to for any significant length of time. And of course, gullible people like Cancers back, because gullible people will like just about anything you would want them to.
One thing that Cancers find extremely handy is their sharp intuition. A cancer will always realise when the game is up and his friends are about to ditch him and he will always make it a point to do it first. In such a case, you can expect silly excuses like, “I’ve got to stay in and train my hamster for the pet karaoke championships”, or “My boss needs me to work overtime this month… did I say 18 hours a day?”
Cancers are very traditional, which is to say they are quite simply out of touch with the modern world. They are the sort of people who don’t use e-mail because they can’t figure out where to put the stamps. Cancers believe that the term e-book refers to the fifth volume of the Encyclopaedia Britannica and many of them wear surgical gloves at the computer, to minimise the risks of catching a virus from the mouse.
[h=3]Love[/h]As far as love is concerned, Cancers are the very stuff soap opera screenwriters dream of. In other words, they are ruthless, vengeful, backstabbers who hardly ever venture outdoors. They spend most of their time cheating on their partners at the office, in hospital wards and even at home. One really distinguishing characteristic is that they love to turn even the least argument into a horrible shouting match. Estate agents won’t admit it, but having a Cancer living within 200m automatically devalues a property by 25% and selling out to a Cancer is a sure-fire way of getting back at the neighbours.
A lot of Cancers are divorced. Many others are poisoned.
[h=3]Money[/h]Cancers are obsessed with money, but are far from financially wise. They are always falling for get-rich-quick schemes that are obvious rip-offs to everyone else. Cancers distrust credit cards and so they usually carry considerable amounts of cash, making them ideal targets for muggers. Astrologers are fond of the saying, “A Cancer and his money are soon parted.”
[h=3]Future[/h]Passion and intrigue await the Cancer-born, but the initial glamour will soon give way to record stress levels and inevitable heart disease. Cancers are destined to wander from one mess to another, scavenging for an elusive happiness but acquiring little more than the chronic bad breath and a dreadful, all-pervading, chain-smoking smell. Whatever money they manage to save up will soon find itself in the pockets of air-freshener and deodorant companies.

and don't forget Courtney Love...nobody ever said Cancers were wrapped too tight;)
 
My son and hubby are both Cappies...hardworking family men, prone to butting things with their horns. My brother is 100% Pisces.
 
I don't follow my scope, I think most tend to have a lot of interchangeable traits, but I will say I do seem to carry a bit of the stubbornness at times of the Taurus within me. There are quite a few Capricorns in my family, at least three of my siblings and now a new beautiful baby girl, last month, to my nephew YAY! He named her after my mom.
 
No, I don't believe in it, after living with a professional astrologer and seeing that it was often so very very wrong often dangerously so. Totally sick of it and all the other occult hocus pocus nonsense like tarot and palmistry.
 
Aquarius...Friendly and humanitarian; Honest and loyal; Original and inventive; Independent and intellectual

On the dark side...Intractable and contrary; Perverse and unpredictable; Unemotional and detached


I've never been into astrology. I only just now found the above online. It surprises me how many of those words fit (like, all of them).
 
One of my girls was a Scorpio...great dancer, a huge passion for life...but stay away from that tail...we always joked Heaven help the partner that tries to push her around.

I'm a little slow today. I read that & thought Hmnn that's a odd thing to say about your daughter.what does it mean? Then I remembered scorpions have tails. lol
The world makes sense again :p

Astrology is interesting, but I don't take any of it seriously. BTW, I'm a Gemini FWIW.
 
I'm a pisces, and no, I don't believe in it. My office mate and I used to have great fun reading our horoscopes in the paper, though, and then trying to fit things that happened in the day to the horoscopes. "Oh, that tall handsome stranger coming into your life today is our new appeals client who's been convicted of triple murder . . . "
 
I'm a Taurus with Taurus Asc so all those silly newspaper horoscopes are more accurate for me than they would be for others because my rising sign and my sun sign are the same. BTW, Fur, I'm never late for anything and you can bet I'd make up the mother of excuses if I were. But I enjoyed that joke very much.;)

I don't get why everyone thinks Taureans are slow. I enjoy astrology but believe the "fault lies not in our stars, but in ourselves", as was written by another famous Taurean William Shakespeare. :eek:
 
I am a Taurus, for the most part I live up to the description, especially matters of the heart. However this Taurus is not materialistic, stubborn yes but wanting the best things, that is not me in the least.

I must have missed that post, I for one am prompt to appointments if not way too early and certainly not slow mentally, except for some medical hiccups now and again, so, I'm curious where that would come from. Now, I have been called a diva when getting dressed to head out for an event while picking out outfits and others are waiting and watching the clock, but that's different. Of all the astrological signs, I would say Taureans are perfection, I'm sure everyone would agree can I get a AMEN!. :D
