I'm really into astrology and wanna know how many water bearers are here and what do you think about being the best sign of all. Ok, not really but...
Astrology is bullshit, but I am an "Aquarius" (birthdate is Feb. 16). I don't place any significance on it.
Ugh. My mother and my sister are. My mom places SO MUCH importance on it. To the point of favoring my sister for being an Aquarius and reminding me on the regular. I always tell her that SHE GAVE BIRTH TO ME. Now her boyfriend is an Aquarius and they team up and berate me about how much better they are. I shit you not. We are all adults. Lol, she uses it to explain all of my faults: She'll roll her eyes and tell me: "You're such a cancer." Anyway, I'm a little bitter but...You're an Aquarius, so you're probably better than everyone else!!
Lol i know some Aquarius people might be very proud of the sign they are (im a bit too) but i dont like to show it off; besides, every Aquarius is different and maybe you notice that between your sister and mom but most of the times we are verrrrry proud, some dont say it and others do. But anyways, you dont have to listen to her because she is probably just joking and taking her pride to another level where she thinks Aquarian ppl rule the world
WOOT Aquas stand up My bday is Feb 2nd. I made these sexy memes for Aquas last year. I didn't take the pics, I just felt they symbolized The Water Bearer in a cute way so I did a few things to them. Ps. I think astrology is fun & what not but I wouldn't base my life around it. I think astrologers tend to be pretty lazy about describing Aquarius folk. They generalize a bit too much in a negative light imo.
I noticed that a lot lately, but back in the 90's it was more of an exaggeration of how awesome they were. Or at least a little bias.
Astrology can have a charm to it if people don't get obsessed with it. I had a friend a couple years back who was into astrology very seriously. She wanted to know not just my birthday but the exact time I was born. She needed that to know the positions of the stars in the sky at the moment of birth so that she could figure out other things out about me. I didn't have that kind of info for her. She would nag me time after time to try to find my birth certificate or hospital records to determine the exact birth time. I told her I just didn't have such things and didn't want to be bothered. After so much of it, I told her one day, "Why don't you just treat me like a person and a friend rather than some sort of object to be studied and manipulated for personal amusement based on the position of something in the sky?" We didn't see too much of each other after that. Watch the old Twilight Zone episode "Nick Of Time" with William Shatner. It represents well what I am referring to. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xx7fvy_twilight-zone-nick-of-time
Heres the problem about astrology, it takes the spontaneity and guess work out of life. There is beauty in mystery and the unknown. People who do heavy chart readings are missing out on experiences imo.
I grew up with a huge astrological theme across my life. One of my parents was very into, had lots of books and so I studied it. I remember this one time there was a guy that I had a one night stand with. I didn't think it would be that, but it was, he was nice and called to tell me he was going to get back together with his girlfriend. I was very upset by this and I called him back frantic, "I don't even know your birthday, could be please call me back and tell me your bday?" I felt like the world was going to end if I didn't have this information so I could figure out what went wrong and to rather I should avoid other men with this astrological identity that he had. It's pretty funny now, of course. (that was about 10 yrs. ago, btw, I'm not that crazy anymore)
Yeah see, thats exactly what I mean. Its a crutch imo. Though I will say that I once observed 12 strangers. I am a pretty friendly and outgoing person so I took it upon myself to start conversation with each of them. I called 9 out of 12 of their astrological signs correctly on the first try. Interesting.
The real superhumans :sunny: I'm not proud of my sign of course, so I downplay gemini's all the time. I never wanted to be an ubermensch...
