Astrology Fooey!

[Beansly]

I'll probably take a lot of flak for this...

It's crazy how accurate this stuff can be sometimes. I'm thinking about finding someone to do my birth chart just for kicks. So of you have been here long enough or are perceptive enough to know me a little. Maybe you can see some of this in me.
You should check out your Mercury Sign out and see what it says about you. Post it up and tell us how accurate it is!

Mercury Sign

I'm a Cancer with Mercury in Leo (btw- interesting factoid. They did some numbers crunching and made a list of which astrological signs commit the most crimes. Guess which one was at the top of the list? lol
Sensitive, feminine, water sign, CANCER was the most booked, most violent and most dangerous Zodiac sign of them all! lmfao!! I'll see if I can find it). I can't find the page where it has them listed in order, but look it up, it's crazy. Cancers are insane! No wonder my ex girlfriend would get scared when I got upset. I would never hit a woman, unless I was reaaaaallly tired.

Mercury in Leo
When Mercury in Leo people speak, they do it with authority. Some of them come across as know-it-alls, but the more mature ones speak with style. They want others to know about their presence of mind and their know-how.

Mercury in Leo men and women are adept at seeing the big picture, sometimes at the cost of ignoring the details. They are generally skilled at the art of persuasion. While others may try to win people over with logic, guilt, or wit, Mercury in Leo does it with warmth and good will. They are excellent at promoting ideas and getting their message across.
These people can be very attached to their opinions, taking pride in their beliefs, which are often rather idealistic. They are capable people on an intellectual level, and have an especial desire for self-expression.
Creativity is especially important to Mercury in Leo people. They present themselves with a certain amount of flair, and even drama. Often passionate and enthusiastic speakers, Mercury in Leo people get their message across with zeal. Some people with this position have developed a perhaps more sophisticated manner in which they present their ideas and thoughts, and these natives possess admirable style and warmth.
Depending on the confidence level of the whole individual with this placement of Mercury, a stubbornness in the face of criticism or over-sensitivity to anything less than praise is present. Whatever the reaction, Mercury in Leo natives can be mentally arrogant. Mercury, by nature, is detached and reasonable. In Leo, however, the ego comes into play very strongly when it comes to intellectual analysis. With intellect and ego so closely tied, the ability to separate fact from fiction can be impaired. In some, boasting may be a problem. Probably the best way to handle this position is to find self-expression in some creative field. Mercury in Leo natives can be magnificent story-tellers, for example, mainly because they have such a wonderful sense of drama. They speak and write with heart.

Pretty good description of my debate style. I know I come off as a know-it-all even though I don't mean to and I AM very attached to my beliefs, even though a thoughtful, passionate and fact-filled argument can sway my opinion easily. I know when I've been proven wrong. I'm a little overly sensitive at times and totally mentally arrogant. I think that if you can't work thing out on your own, in your own mind, then you are weak minded...(I might have to work on that...) And I am pretty dramatic when I want to be lol.

If you have the chance, look up your Mars Sign for another perspective on what the stars say about you. Find your birtday on this chart.

Mars Sign

Mars in Scorpio

Mars in Scorpio natives love to challenge themselves to do the impossible. They throw themselves into what they decide to do with concentrated energy and awesome willpower.
These people make formidable opponents, although often quietly so. They keep their cool and their equilibrium on the surface. Below the surface may be another story, and they are unlikely to easily let you in. Mars in Scorpio has the potential to exploit others—these people see through others, and rely heavily on their gut feelings.
The sexual stamina of this position is thought to be the strongest of all the positions of Mars. Sometimes, Mars in Scorpio people are attracted to taboos, and their fantasies may involve blowing the taboos to smithereens! They enjoy scenarios in which the "other" is giving in to them, wants them completely, and will do absolutely anything for them. And, their sexual appeal is strong enough that they generally do get what they want.
They find it difficult to share their partners, though they will likely never admit this. In stark contrast to Mars in Libra, who is most comfortable with the middle ground, Mars in Scorpio has a black-or-white philosophy of life. These are the people who say, "Just choose!" They really are not comfortable with compromise—what kind of satisfaction could you possibly get from compromise? Real living, to Mars in Scorpio, is all about accepting challenges and making changes.

These people constantly test themselves, and, often, others. They make all kinds of rules and goals, just for the personal satisfaction that comes from achieving or mastering them. Their survival instincts are strong, and they embrace their own animal nature when they are all alone with themselves, without guilt.
These people have a provocative quality to them. This quality is usually most evident in youth, though it is often carried over into adulthood in more subtle, controlled ways.
Mars in Scorpio natives who have low self-esteem can become mighty twisted. Instead of beating themselves up, they turn self-loathing outward, and end up manipulating others and feeling resentful.
While Mars in Libra is constantly striving to bring fairness to the world, Mars in Scorpio knows that life simply isn't fair.

I love this. I'm totally committed to the things I decide to do. I said I was gonna grow 10 years, ago and here I am. I said I'd be the first person in my family to go to college and here I am. That's dead on. I'm calm on the outside while a mess on the inside, and I don't let people in easily.
Sexual 'Taboos'...uhh yeah, I'm a freak. And that's putting it lightly... I'm a sexual deviant lmao And I always get a mindgasm from pleasing my lover. I DO have the invisible walls or 'rules' for myself, and take much pride in not compromising those ideals. This one was scary good.

Sexual Astrology

You can also see what the stars say about your sexual appetite with this. Use this chart to figure out your Venus Sign and see how close it is to what you're really like!

Mars in Scorpio
The sexual nature can be quite complex. These lovers generally share a common intensity and depth in their sexual desires, but they vary in expression depending on their level of development. Some enjoy power and are attracted to breaking taboos. These lovers are willing to do almost anything, and they enjoy full-body pleasures. Others express their need for control by being unavailable and abstaining for long periods of time, giving in only when they feel their partner is deserving. Whatever their nature, they have a way that promises commitment and intensity in bed. They are provocative but private. Most will never kiss and tell. Sex is intimate and personal for Scorpio, but their fantasies are full-ranging.

Yeah that's me on my man-period.....that embarrassing lol

Venus in Cancer
You'll get one of the most sensitive and sweet lovers. When they're not pouting, they are romantic and gooey with you. They are turned on by slave scenarios, and they may like it when you're a little mean and aggressive in bed, as long as they know you love them. Some of them are turned on by the idea of making a baby, and others just love the idea of being all yours in bed. They are known as the sign most attracted to breasts, and they generally like their men rather masculine and their women feminine, at least in fantasy. They don't always let you know what turns them on, and expect you to intuit their sexual needs. Their style in bed is protective and soothing.

In high school, I like this girl so much that I followed her to her locker and put notes into her locker anonymously. I sent her one with the song
"you're just too good to be true...
can't take my eyes off of you..."
Aw man lol I was cheesy.... I thought I loved her though so, whatever... I like kids a lot but I'm not turned on at the thought of having them. Slave senarios..... no comment...
And yeah man, boobs.

I am clearly not impressed with how accurately my descriptions have me pegged... a few discrepancies however...

Mercury in Capricorn


Mars in Scorpio

and my venus is supposedly in Aquarius but I'm more of a Venus in Capricorn kind of guy...

 

[Beansly]

lol
I hear ya. I was a little upset my Mercury wasn't in Cancer cause it was alittle closer I think. But that's just it; it's my perspective of myself. You can't do that and get an unbiased view.

 

[Shannon Alexander]

I'm going by other peoples opinions of me... and I was born within an hour of venus going into Aquarius from capricorn... My birth certificate doesn't state the hour of my birth so I can only go on the fact that I was born around lunch time, etc... which is when Venus went from Capricorn into Aquarius on the exact day of my birth... So maybe I snuck in..?

So you say the description was pretty close? What did it say about you?

 

[Shannon Alexander]

Venus in Capricorn Venus in Capricorn people will try to win your heart by displaying self-control, presence of mind, and responsible behavior. These lovers want you to know they are goal-oriented, witty, savvy, and controlled. Nobody can get the best of them. They want you to see just how competent they are. They like some measure of predictability in their relationships as they are cautious in love.
Venus in Capricorn men and women project an aura of competency and their loner-like behavior can be attractive, in a cool way. They don't go gaa-gaa over love, or at least they don't express as much. Their lovers may complain that Venus in Capricorns are a little too practical and deliberate. Certainly, they can come across as lacking in warmth and spontaneity. Truth is, they can be rather romantic souls who yearn for a partner to share their lives with. Others' image of their relationship matters to them. They are conservative and willing to commit. Venus in Capricorn people are attracted to serious, goal-oriented lovers. They are a little shy in matters of the heart, but they don't want you to know it. If you like knowing where your relationship is headed, you'll be mighty pleased with Venus in Capricorn. These people plan ahead in love, and, unlike Venus in Pisces, they will let you know exactly where they (and the relationship) are headed.
Pleasing Venus in Capricorn involves showing them you are practical and realistic. They want to impress you with the things they do. Appreciate their "saving for a rainy day" attitude, and be aware that they want to show you off in a quiet way

 

[Shannon Alexander]

The only thing about that that I would say is incorrect about me is the saving for a rainy day... I often do save but then of course other people around me need something so there goes my money... or like most recently friends visit and they want to party

Just from the little I've seen you post in the lace n frills thread I got ta few of those from you. like 'Venus in Capricorn men and women project an aura of competency and their loner-like behavior can be attractive, in a cool way'. So it was pretty spot on then huh? Isn't that weird?


(Yes, I have a Dutch accent--Isn't that veird?)

sorry...

 

[PbHash]

This is a joke right? I mean do you actually believe this? I'm not trying to be mean but there is absolutely no evidence that astrology has any scientific basis.

 

[Beansly]

I guess I do actually believe this. I'm not using for lotto numbers or to find a girl friend. I'm not saying it's 100% right, It's just weird how close it is. Mine was about 90% correct. That's pretty impressive. I understand science doesn't have much to do with it.

So you are ok knowing that it is fake? There are studies proving that it is inaccurate and up to personal interpretation. All of th statements are vague. I just find it extremely implausible for my moods and fate to be determined by planets. There is no real basis for it.

 

[Shannon Alexander]

PbHash - It may be implausible... and from a skeptical view point really with all the billions of people in the world there are bound to be a fuck ton of people that fit exactly or almost exactly into the moulds...

But reading the statements in the links they don't appear to be vague to me...

 

[PbHash]

I rarely say this but Astrology is impossible. It is fake. In a day and age with so much information out there it's hard to believe astrology even exists. I understand how it may be exciting or fun to believe this but I'm sorry it isn't true. Sorry I just have a big problem with this stuff.

 

[Shannon Alexander]

I wasn't saying it is real or valid... Just that the descriptions given in this don't appear to be vague to me and that with so many billions of people that it is bound to actually describe some people accurately... Not that the position of the planets have anything to do with it, just that will describe some people perfectly or almost perfectly...

Just FYI this is called an "affirming the consequent" fallacy

Yeah I agree with you. With so many people it is just a matter of the odds. Also it is subjective because there is no standard for determining if one person is "sexually aggressive" and another isn't.

 

[ganjames]

They were all spot on...

I'm about to pick a random one (that's not my own) for each category and see what the outcome is.

And yet again they were all pretty spot on, which is exactly what I expected.

Maybe now we can conclude that you were born at two different times at which there was a rip in the space time continuum or.... It's all made up.
