I am an Aries. Some of my characteristics are true to the sign I was born under, such as impatience, honesty and shouting one minute, being nice the next lol. I hate injustice in all things and I shall stick up for the underdog every time. However, I am not a Leader, which is something I am supposed to be, I would much rather observe what is happening in the background and speak when I am spoken to. That generally happens at work. At home I tend to be tidy and I get frustrated when my Virgo husband leaves clothes lying around the place as that is not Virgo-like behaviour at all! My Mum is a Gemini and has two of everything, apart from two husbands lol. :-0

I am a Cancerian and have almost all the charecterstics. I think Cancerians have most impact of their sunsign. Though exception are always there, but for generalization I feel max of Cancerian's fit their sunsign charecterstics(as per my experince).

I can't say the same for Leo, I don't like to lead but am flattered if someone wishes to go along with something I like to do. I don't like a lot of attention or being in a crowd. Both those traits are what they claim Leos enjoy.

I am a piscean but I have all the characteristics of all the stars,needless to say the demerits too. I don't believe much in astrology since it is we who determine our destiny. A person born in a lucky star may not become the one predicted by signs of his star if he sits in insolence and waste all the time.I do believe in God but not in stars since the stars are created by God and He controls them.Why should I depend on a creature whose fate is determined by a superior power.But the fact is that still I take a glance at the daily star reading in the newspaper.

I avoid those articles. I remember mom telling me that if we read them we can make them come true ... her method was to read them the day after to see if what they predicted actually did happen.

I was like this also, in my younger years, some of the traits didn't seem to fit me, but what I discovered in my later years, that some of those traits, I just happened to develop them, and really they were there all my life , but they just didn't get developed for some reason or other! And nowadays almost all of my traits fit me pretty close because I am aware of them! Now as far as Aries being leaders, the Aries that I have been associated with , have always been some of my favorite leaders! They have a strong personality, and get things done, and I like working for people like this!

I am a Cancer, and I think in all reality we are all different! But I discovered , in my later years that I had some traits all this time, I just hadn't used or developed them, after I did, then everything kinda fell into place!

A Cancerian lady I once knew was affected by the Moon (that ruled the sign) and the tides. If there was a combination of a New Moon and High Tide that was everyone...er...out of her way until everything was back to normal. She was well aware of her moods and I felt sorry for her sometimes because she couldn't really control them. She was never nasty, though as she generally was upset about something she had done as opposed to someone else. When she was in a "happy" mood her laugh used to set everyone else off, it was so contagious.

What Star sign are you then, my friend? It is an interesting point you make about being more aware of your traits when you become older. To me, though, it seems to be the other way around. I was obsessed with Astrology before the onset of the internet revolution but if I wasn't I would've got lumbered with someone that wasn't compatible with my sign. However, I'm not supposed to get on with Virgos, but I do!

I once read a analysing of my horoscope and I have to say it was very accurate indeed. I couldn't believe how much my birth month *leo* described me. For example loving attention, being hot headed etc.

There are many phases of Leo and I think some of it represents most of us but a lot of it is pure conjecture.

Hey Janey1966, I just posted a discussion using the title Aries in it... and it brought me to you. As well, I have listed a discussion about birthcharts - ever seen yours?? I'd love to hear more about the aries in you. I wonder how your view compares to a few friends of mine. Include your husband as well... it would be great to hear from you both. I am like my Astrology sign...in many ways; but, there are other ways that I am not - and I realized this a long time ago. I'm not surprised at all. I love astrology... it's a colorful window to view the world. Fun only!! I hope to hear from you. Maybe you can guess my sign?? hee hee.

Hello there! Welcome to MyLot my friend! Yes, I have done Birth Charts myself in the past, but - in typical Aries fashion, dropped doing them as quickly as I took the hobby up! I haven't got the patience to stay with anything. A few years ago I had a go at cross-stitching and I don't think I ever finished the pattern I was undertaking. I used to be "addicted" to riding my bike. Now I don't ride it at all! I am blogging my diaries...but haven't typed any entries for quite some time. Are all Ariens like me I wonder? Ironically, I used to read, read and read some more whenever I went out with a new guy. Did I do that with my husband? Nope! Although I do know he is a Dog and I am a Horse in Chinese Astrology! As for you...mmm, either a Gemini or Aquarius? Probably well off-beam but you did ask!

Hello again, Janey1966!! It's a good try... but, no! I'm not a gemini or Aquarius. Those are the sign I would say I know least about. LOL!! By that I mean, when I look at the folks around me... those are the fewest. I've been married to two Leos - neither worked out. and have many Cancer, pisces, Sag. and Capri in my life. Unintentionally. Those also make up my immediate family: Mom, Dad, Brother and Sister - consecutively. I don't know the sign of some friends.... still learning, I guess? Yes, I do know Aries are "quick" = mars ruler... planet of action. I'd love to peer at your birthcharts; both you and your husband. (is that too invasive... i don't really know how people feel about astrology). To me, it is so much fun! I call it a multi-colored window on the world. I say, "Astrology, like snowflakes and windows, are never the same. They vary in size and view, etc." - When two people look out of the same window... they don't see the same thing; it's a matter of interpretation. One sees kids playing - another sees a car parked and leaves from a nearby tree. I am a Scoprio (Sag. Asc) - and in Chinese Atrology; I am an earth ROOSTER. My birthchart info is: Male; 10/30/1969; born at 10:53am in Canton, Ohio I am one of those "change the world" type people - and I am always interested in people, and achieving great things in the world. Seeking supportive people and giving support to those in need. But, my influence seems detached - which is okay!! People who are around me totally enjoy my company - and i think their lives are better for it (somehow). I have great friends!! Tho' I have dropped hobbies quick at times - it's usually because I have mastered it or something new and more challenging has caught my eye. I'd say I am pretty consistent tho'. I hate leaving things unfinished!! Writing is my exception... that is the most sparatic. So, as I conclude - thanks for the reply. I'd say... "U R normal!!" Our world is very quick these days. I don't know if we can slow down?? What do you think?? Seek, grasp and fulfill your purpose -thus- Have an amazing day!! God bless

I do not really follow on my star signs. Though there are times that I read my horoscope and found that there are times that they do coincide. But most often they do not. Its just sort of a fun for me. I do not believe them by heart.

As far as the horoscope thing goes..it may not be right for you on that particular day but it will be right for someone else. I know that people get paid for writing horoscopes but it's just one of those things.

yep i believe in it all, sometimes our numerology can counter act all of it too. so you don't see the traits. i'm a taurus, and you can see my independence and stuborness. i don't like change either, get in a routine and don't want to get out. got a book on star signs and our elements that go with them. some people you can really see the traits, others you hardly notice.

I have read many books on Astrology over the years so I do know what the traits are of all the signs. It is interesting that you mention Numerology and you are right, that can have a bearing on personality as well. To go even further, in Chinese Astrology I was born in the Year of the Horse, 1966 and my husband was born in the year of the Dog, which was 1970. Even though Aries and Virgos don't normally get on, the fact that - in Chinese Astrology, Horses and Dogs are 2 of the most compatible animals says it all really! It's all fascinating stuff!

I am a Libran and I admit that I do have the traits that mention under the star sign Libra. And I like Libra sign! I think, no can be exactly as it is defined under the star sign characteristics. Other factors do affect I guess but overall the majority characteristics do apply! And according to chinese I come under the sign Monkey! It is quite interesting to say that I do have the traits that are mentioned under the sign Monkey in Chinese Astrology! Happy Mylotting!

Many thanks for your comment. I've not really thought about whether or not I'm like a Horse in Chinese Astrology but I'd like to think so because they are such majestic animals lol. Happy MyLotting to you too. :-)

I am a gemini and I believe I am very much a gemini lol. I read somewhere that contrary to most beliefs that gemini people have 2 personalities, it's actually more of "multiple" personalities (i hope not in a bad way though). I am very much indecisive and I can switch moods swiftly. Another thing is that I am a jane of all trades and there are things I discover I can do that I never imagined I could before. I hope I didnt scare you with these gemini characteristics but I just want to tell everyone that being gemini is not all negative (like most of my friends would joke about..they said they wouldnt stand any other gemini aside from me lol).

Don't worry about it my friend. My Mum has been described as a "Schizo" before now but she shrugged it off because she IS moody! She tends to be more assertive with her family (especially her husband whom she finds easy to bellow at lol) than at work...and she's the boss at work!! There is another Gemini at her work who is completely different from her but does share some of her traits..like, she has to have 2 dogs, Mum has 2 cats, that kinda thing. I know what you mean about "Jane of all trades" because Mum is more like a man in some ways, as she can paint and varnish. She can also multi-task. Watching her in a kitchen is brilliant because she gets flour everywhere and pots and pans are piling high in the sink but by the time she has finished it is back to normal with no crumbs anywhere! Oh, wow, it's SNOWING!! Just noticed it!!! Whoopee!!!! Hehe lol :-)

I am a Taurus. The main characteristic I know about them is that they are stubborn. I think that I can be pretty stubborn. Stubborn with myself! I am stubborn with myself because I do not give myself the chance of health when I need it, when I need to eat well what I usually do is not eat well. Also I am like this because my friends choice has been bad. And in the past they have not stuck up for me. So as a Taurus I have to learn ways to stick up for myself, and it is very hard. Also this kind of change is hard for me because I have to learn how to bend and become un-stubborn.

Well, I find horoscopes as a funny thing, and I always read them to have a laugh, but I dont believe on them, neither in "being like your sign". Is impossible that being born in one month or another can determine your personality. By the way, Im virgo

My star sign is Sagittarius and I am everything a Sagittarius should be. I am frank, outspoken, and at times, tactless. I am also hot-headed and gets angry easily. I am honest, generous, and a loyal friend. They also say Sagittarians are the life of a party and I do tend to be in the spotlight most of the times. :-)

I know what you mean about being sociable! I knew a Sagittarius lady at work (she was my supervisor) in the 1990s and she was pretty quiet really but the best boss anyone could have because she was so fair, decent, funny and I miss her loads. I didn't appreciate her at the time as I was having "problems at home" with the guy I was living with. Anyway, at our Christmas "do" she was brilliant, really let her hair down but didn't show herself up, you know what I mean? :-)

Okay, Im a libra. Libras are naturally sociable, they are humble, they are dependent to their partners(emotionally). They are good looking *cough*. I think I do hold some characteristics of my sign except for the last one.LOL

Very diplomatic answer, typical Libra. I knew someone just like you, and yes, she was good looking but tended to attract the wrong guy because of her sweet smile. Because I was the Aries of the group I would "get rid" of anyone she did not like and not feel bad about it. She would feel TERRIBLE if she had had to do what I did. She thanked me many times for lumbering her with "creeps" as she called them! On the flipside though, males were frightened of chatting me up!

I have read many times that one has to study the full birth chart in order to find out one's true personality. It is good that you have most of the Capricornian traits.

Hello Janey! What a coincidence I am an Aries too.hehehe. And like you, I can sense that I am a typical Arian with an impulsive character. A typical Aries woman tends to be aggressive, drivingly ambitious, a natural born leader and a go-getter and I am exactly like that. Sometimes I am impatient too and easily flared up, sending my mood to purgatory, but the next time I am extra sweet and caring and loving, oh Gosh! I never take orders and usually irritated and annoyed if people in my surroundings bossed me and commanded me with ridiculous task, grrrr! Aries has the ruling planet Mars, a red planet which is a Roman god of war and my element is fire and my birth color is burgundy. Glancing at all these entries, you could imagine my aggressive and hot tempered self, hahaha! But I am extra thoughtful and sweet you know, most of the time my soft character put me in an uncompromising situation, but usually I never leave the battlefield with a defeated heart, I always fight up to the end.hehehe
