I do read my horoscope whenever i have a chance to read one (for the heck of reading something)... but I do not believe it to be honest... funny thing some predictions happen which I guess is only a coincidence and not fulfillment of their so called prophesies. How about you... what is YOUR idea about it? Let us read your thoughts here.
By the way, I am a Scorpion and a Sagitarius because my birthday fall on the middle of the two signs. It means I have a SPLIT PERSONALITY! LOL
how about you, what is your sign?

Well, I'm Pisces and yes I do read the horoscope sometimes. I don't really believe in it but I think it's really fun. I don't even notice whether some of the predictions really happen or not because after reading it, I just forget it at once. Anyway, there are lots of people who believe in horoscope and sometimes they take it seriously. Well, it's a matter of choice, isn't it?

People who fall on cusps can be quirky people lol. I mean some signs just don't mix lol I mean take me a Capricorn... but say take the sign that comes after me Aquarius. A capricorn with an aquarian cusp would be one WIERD mix.
Capricorns are EARTH signs... there for we tend to be down to earth ppl. I say TEND to be because like I said before each sign can have negative and possitive charecteristics. Caps can be some of the most compasionate, senstiave, logical, and loving ... but at the same time we could be aloof, reserved, vain, emotionally unavialable, and egotistical.
Now mix that with an Aquarius who is an AIR sign (Go figure the Aquas are the Water bearer but are an AIR sign?!?! LOL) AIR signs are flighty, imaginative, creative, and even sometimes child like. At the same time they can be selfish, have intamacy issues.. etc...
Now imagine what you get when you mix AIR and EARTH... A SANDSTORM!

I am a sagittarian and a very typical one, I don't believe in the future predictions part of the horoscope but I do believe in in the characteristics of the star signs...even the chinese horoscopes in the same way..

I totally agree with this line of thinking. Do I think the charecteristics of our signs tend to be fairly accurate.. YES. Do I think it acts as set in stone guide to how a person with act NO. DO I think you can tell me how my day is going to be or predict what is going to happen in it... NO!

I do believe but I don't let it get in the way of what I want to do. I read my horoscope Saturday afternoon and it said that last night would be exciting.And it was in a way but I missed it. Let me explain. My favorite team won a big game but I didn't watch the game.so it was correct but I didn't change what I was about to do.

Cool. I like Scorpios.I could have seen the game but I was too afraid to, and today I found out that two of my baseball teams played each other last night too and it was an exciting game.i didn't even know they were on t.v. but then again I am like that when hockey is on, all other sports cease to exist.

Nice, That mean you are born in the cusp, between the traits of two zodiac sign.
I am fond of reading horoscope but not the general horoscope but my personal horoscope.
I am a scorpio and really a scorpion character. Ninety eigh percent about my natal report, is true about myself that is why i am using it sometimes to know the traits of someone.2 people like this

What you refer to as the "middle" is actually called a "cusp".
Check this out and see how well it describes you
http://www.astrology.com/allaboutyou/cusps/scorpiosagittarius.html
Some FYI... Each sign has both negative and postive attributes this varies from sign to sign.
Each of the 12 signs is assigned to one of 4 elements Earth, Air, Fire, Water.
I'm a Capricorn which is an Earth sign.

I don't really know much about the Chinese Zodiac except that you are divided up into it by your year of birth and that you are considered to be some sort of animal... However I do know a good bit about the astrological zodiac. I'm by no means an expert or anything like that. Frankly the subject gets very complex the more you get into it... and I wasn't that into it LOL

Yes,i believe in horoscope reading,face reading and palm history.My zodiac sign is Aries.I used to believe in Astrology, because it seemed like it was actually predicting things for me.If we can find a good astrologer,he can predict our future with some accuracy up to some extend.But,now it very difficult to find a good astrologer.Some people with out knowing astrology cheat people and destroying the reputation of good astrologer also.Most educated people dismiss astrology as rubbish,but there is something in it. I still believe that more research is needed in this area.There is some mysterious force controlling all our day to day activities.with out seeing God,we all believe in God.

Actually... and I know this is going to start a flak storm... but astrology is considered to be a sin or sinful. To consult with astrologers (the people who actually predict your future) is a sin. In the Bible they were called "soothsayers."
Predicting the future is... a highly debatable topic... especially in religion. I don't want to debate it... but I'm just saying what I know.
In Christianity... consorting with anyone who is not ordained by God to "prophecide" is considered blasphemy and is a sin. Again, in biblical terms an astrologer would be a "soothsayer."
This is why you should not use any sort of prophecy or clarvoyance to guide your life. The future for you can not be predicted as God's plans for you can change at anytime (in my opinion).

My sign is Cancer, I do not really follow horoscopes, but the traits of my sign really describes me. There is a lady at my church who was born on the same day as I, and I find our charactistics similiar. My husband is a Gemini, and my son is a Sagitarius.

My horoscope sign is Scorpio. I do believe. all the personalities I have checked has all been so close to all their traits it was uncanny. My daughter is Libra and it is very hard for her to make any decisions. My grandson is a Scorpio also and he and I are so much alike. Then there is my grand daughter and she is Saggitarius. She is selfish and very one minded. It all fits so well with each one. And close friends I find it to be the same thing. Go figure. Ya, i sure do believe in it all.

i am a sagittarian.... a very long time ago i believed in those horoscopes... when i was a child till high school, i would always read my daily horoscope... believing they were true.
but then when i had grown up and matured somebody told me that if horoscopes are true then all the people in the world with the same signs will have the same thing that will happen to them... 
so i stopped believing in them...

I am born under the Aries sign and knowing about the characteristics who are born under this is somehow true to me. I partly believe in astrology but i don't agree reading this everyday because it worries you especially when you get a bad news about your life. And putting yourself more to thinking of the horoscope you just read draws you more to an event to happen. Much could be better if all the things you'll get in your daily horoscope is good news.hehehe..

I am a Virgo, I do read my horoscope, and I do believe that the characteristic's of star signs are rather accurate, but on the other hand, i don't believe that the predictions made by astronomer's are accurate unless its a complete coincidence.
Jhordie, what is your exact birthday.

I am a Libra and I totally agree with the personality traits that Librans are supposed to have. I am very concerned with making the world just and sharing things equally between people. I don't really believe a lot of the 'daily' or future horoscopes though, they are never right for me.

Take into account that every rule has it's exception... you can assume with at least some basic certanty you can understand a LOT of things from the signs "general description." You can kinda see how you will relate to people in love... business... how they will handle money... how responsible they are apt to be and a myriad of other things.

Mine's Aquarius. I know some people have fun with it, while some others may take it seriously. Personally, I don't believe in horoscope at all. I'll leave my fate up to God and stay away from things like that. =)

I am a virgo. I don’t believe in daily horoscope…they are mostly the same everyday and for everybody under a particular sun sign. Other than that, the analysis of various sun signs at different sites are also the same mostly and they do match my character. I mean the various traits given under virgo match with mine more or less.

I do the same. I do read horoscopes when I have the chance to read it. But I do not believe in them. There are times that they really happen but obviously I consider them as coincidence. I just read them to enjoy them but I do not let it dictate my activity or my plans.

I'm a Libran and according to Astrology, Librans are usually calm and harmonious. Very much inclined in art and appreciates beauty. We are sometimes indecisive and we find making decisions too hard. Our birthstone is Opal. A gem which changes color. I don't really believe in Astrology but i do find some information to be true. I don't believe in horoscope either but i look at it as a guide.

I am a Scorpio. I don't read my horoscope because the same message can't apply to every Scorpio around the world but I totally believe in astrology and signs. Anyone who knows me and has ever read the "standard" description of Scorpio agrees that it fits me perfectly. There is very little about that description that doesn't apply to me; in fact, I can't think of any part of it that doesn't, off the top of my head.
I actually had a conversation with someone about this very subject the other day. This girl was a Gemini and she said Geminis are the most likely to fit their description but I think, knowing several Geminis and several Scorpios, that Scorpios fit their descriptions more often that Geminis.

I didn't used to... I just read them once in a while cause it was nice to imagine that there is something special and unique about you as a result of your birthday... but also that there are others who feel similarly to you on certain topics or in certain situations.
As I got older, they became more and more coincidental... and ultimately I have now embraced the idea that SOMETHING is right about my sign. :) I'm a Pisces. So I like to dream, be creative, avoid conflict, love deeply, get hurt deeply, and be conflicted on lots of things. :D

I am a textbook Taurus. I myself don't personally get into astrology and the zodiac, but I seem to exhibit a lot of the personality traits of a typical Taurus. I'm stubborn, I love color, and I can have a nasty temper. (Although not so much these days, it just makes me tired!)
