Do you believe in zodiac and in their characteristics???
Well, I'm a Gemini and it is known to have a dual personality. And when I'm observing myself and the traits I have well I can't deny the fact that it is the same as the zodiac.
How about you???

When most people talk about their zodiac sign they are reffering only to their Sun Sign. Which is the most basic of the planetary placements. There are nine planets and if you include the comets and some asteroids, like some astrologers do, you will get a more detailed view of someones birthchart.
Each planetary body adds a new, more specific dimension to the chart. Like fine tuning and customizing it. If you take a million people with the same Sun Sign there will be a fe similarities. If you then add in another planet and take the people that have that in common as well, they are more similar. Continue this down to the last planetary body you'll have a few people left from the starting group, but they will have nearly everything in common.
So I believe there is solid fact behind the zodiac, if used in the right manner and not just a portion of it.

I also believe that our zodiac signs tells our character and personality.
I am born under the zodiac signs taurus, as you could see the taurus represents the bull. The bull is stubborn in character. I can see and everyone that surrounds me really can attest that I am stubborn girl.
Even my beau would really complain my stubbornness. Sometimes it would cause for our fights and arguments because of my stubbornness.

Ouucchh, really that's very true in nature with the taurus. Sometimes even speaking on soft tone I would not listen. My mom would really have headache with me when I was still growing up. I guess even until now.

Hey, I'm a leo and geminis and leos get along really well. I can say that with lot of experience. My sister is a gemini and I love her so much, we get along really well. Also a few of friends with whom I get along well are geminis.
Geminis and Leos have a common trait, they're fun to hang around with, entertaining, ambitious and loving and caring.
I believe in zodiac characteristics to quite an extent.

I simply don't believe it. We human share some characteristic traits together. Sort of all, characteristics are something that universal. It's not suprising if two or three or hundreds of people have the same charasteristics. The difference between these characteristic is that how strong or how poor that characteristic is. Zodiac is some kind of pseudopsychology. It determine someone's characteristics based on the universal traits and not based on facts. Take a look at this for a moment..did your zodiac have told you this "you have some talent in music" before?..just count how many people in this world have the talent in music. So we can conclude that zodiac is something that we shouldn't trust or put it into seriousness. :)

Yes we share common characteristic,talent (whatever you call it) XD and that should be understood
it maybe because of hereditary...a gift from God etc...
anyway the zodiac characteristic is a fact. If they are not a fact then why there are so many publisher that print these zodiac characteristics and traits. They maybe the universal trait but the point is...they are true.
Anyway, everyone has it's own opinion and belief. So whatever your opinion is..
I respect it :)
Thanks for answering :D

I don't believe in zodiac or horoscopes, mostly probably because of how I was raised and my faith. However, I have found that a lot of the time zodiac characteristics can be accurate. But if you look at it carefully, a lot of the characteristics are repeated throughout several zodiac signs & are very generic & can be interpreted differently & applied to just about anyone. I think if you were to go through all of the zodiac's characteristics, you'd identify well with at least a few if not several. I have found that my personality, for example, is ever changing as I grow older, as my tastes/preferences change, as my perspective of life & the world changes, as people come & go in my life, etc. I find it would be very suffocating to limit myself to what a zodiac or horoscope says rather than allowing myself the freedom to grow and change.

Believing in zodiac characteristic doesn't mean you need to put yourself in the box. It's just like "aaahhhhhh so that's why I am like this"
Believing in zodiac doesn't mean you need to stop growing in order to prove them right. Zodiac is only a guide :D

i believe that the chinese zodiac characteristic is more accurate than that of the monthly zodiacs per birth date / birth month. There could be truth in some - but not all tallies for me unlike the chinese zodiac whereas even the details of what i would be reacting to a situation is kind of described precisely. Being born in a certain year kinda gives me all the elementals that i am attributed to and this helps me identify my weakneses and my strenghts more by reading more about the chinese zodiac.

You have a point in there... anyway it is just a matter of observing yourself that you can't explain why you are like this or like that. Zodiac is not the only factor that can affect the person's characteristic. So I guess that the reason why other people have common traits though they don't have the same zodiac.

I kinda believe in them, but they shouldn't be excuses for what we do or why we are the way we are. They tend to be stereotypes when it makes sense that the intense looking dude is an Aries, or that your Piscean friends are clingy. There are times when it helps to understand people when learning about their zodiac signs but they are also stereotypes that we should fight off. I'm a Gemini (hello!) and I would find myself to be late at almost everything, especially in the previous years. Lately, I'm making a conscious effort to fight that off. I love being a Gemini though. Aside from the duality, I'm talkative, intuitive, a tad analytical and I just can't focus very well (that is except when I'm rehearsing for a show or something like that).
