What is Your Zodiac Sign?/what does your Star sign mean to you?

Hello @LostAngel,

We don't get the whole star sign thing properly and often what we read about our star sign does not match us at all. But one thing we like is that it is different from babydragon's mum's star sign. We are Capricorn and she is Aquarius. Babydragon is always being compared to her mother and she hates it... Well we all hate it yes we look alike, yes we were born in the same month but everyone says we act the same and have similar personalities but that couldn't be further from the truth. What is worse is when people say we have the same parenting style but babydragon's son is 8 and the closest he's come to neglect is having cereal for dinner or not being allowed on fortnight or roblox like every other kid his age.

So honestly our star sign helps to set us apart from the mother

I've never really looked at astrology. just found out I'm a Pisces. Well, that works so far I love the water.

that sounded a little cynical but i promise it wasnt meant to be.Does the year you are born in make the readings any different.

This is off topic. I'm very sorry for hijacking your thread.

my brain is mushy with the depression and I know it makes me cognitively f'd. How do I start a thread? I can't find the button. Please someone help.

I am Aires on Pisces cusp.

My dad was a scorpio.

I found your post really interesting @Former-Member It resonated a lot with me. as I had the opposite problem that my mother, grandmother, and step daughter (oldest child) were all the same star sign as me. So there was not much difference in that regard. I settled for the fact that I was on a cusp and that seemed to matter a bit ... ie the watery side of me was big for me and my father, and it had the aspect of cooling the fire.

@Former-Member Astrology was a main topic of conversation among women when I was young teen. I only ever looked into it superficially and did not take it seriously. I think the big point is that there are many systems of discussing type in personality and culture ... eg the the year system in China .. Jungian types and all the popularised psychologies floating around.

For me that seemed important.... other ways than medical diagnoses and the DSM!

Also I came up against the problem of over quoting of the Golden Rule .. in Christianity ... love someone as you would like to be loved ... became treat someone ... as you would like to be treated ... it can be tricky and unhelpful when people are really different and the differences are not accounted for ....

I now think astrology can be a good way to open up conversations around difference, rather than the heated tone of debate that happens around intersectionality .... these days ... a way of acknowledging difference without piling on unresolved traumas or prejudices or ... cultural misunderstandings and different value systems. If it allows for civil discussion it can be a good.

Hi @Ophelia,

I will send you an email with step by step instructions.

you are right apple blossom there is far too much prejudice etc bought into conversations along with the usual diatribe of arguments.

I remember my sister getting into it a bit when we were young but as I wasn't at home after 14 we drifted apart and thus the reason I suppose I never got into it.

I did see a great sign the other day though

it read ALL LIVES MATTER and if you feel the need to put any colour in front of that statement then I don't want to be associated with you.

hello @LostAngel , i am cancer ( crab )

and in the chinese star -- I am a Dragon

Hi @LostAngel

Thank you for starting this thread I love anything to do with astrology and I find zodiac signs particularly interesting!

My zodiac sign is Sagittarius Although I can relate to some of the characteristics that people attribute to this particular sign, I can't relate to all of them - especially the one that says we love playing sport! That's definately not me

Take care of yourself,

ShiningStar

Totally does. Not only that, but there's also "rising signs" (i.e. Time of day (where the sunrise was.)) and there's heaps of other stuff. Full astrological charts have a lot of pretty lines and colours.
