Dec 8, 2015 I find astrology and studying the signs interesting ...something I haven't looked too much into, but from time to time I will fill out those surveys that you put your birthday in and it tells you about yourself. It more so helps me reflect on how I've acted in a certain situation. But I wouldn't use it to define my personality. Some of the ones I read do sound very vague and ambiguous, which is why I try not to hang on to every word I read.
Dec 8, 2015 agreed this is why I in particular, dislike horoscopes. they're just random, extremely broad sounding predictions, which are based on nothing to do with you personally but i find the general signs and stuff behind it to be very insightful at times if you exclude that s---
Dec 8, 2015 yes my fav thing is to read the stories behind astrological signs from Roman/Greek Mythology... http://www.igreekmythology.com/greek-zodiac.html Spoiler: Gemini Zodiac Story The constellation of Gemini is the next sign of the greek zodiac. It is linked with the story of the twin brothers Castor and Polydeuces (Pollux in latin). Actually, they were not twins in the ordinary sense, since they had different fathers. Their story starts when Zeus, king of the gods, wanted to have an affair with Leda, the lovely queen of Sparta. In order to fool her, he transformed himself into a beautiful swan. In the course of time, Leda bore two eggs: One of them contained a baby girl named Helen (the same one who later was the cause of the Trojan War) and a boy boy called Pollux. These two were the divine children of Zeus. The other egg opened up to reveal another girl and boy, Clytemnestra (who later became the wife of Agamemenon, the military leader of the Greeks in the Trojan War) and Castor. These were the mortal children of king Tyndareus, the legitimate husband of Leda. Despite the fact that one brother was divine and the other mortal, the twins Castor and Pollux grew to be inseparable. They did everything together and they loved each other dearly. Because they were so close, they were called by one name; the Dioscuri. As they were growing, they both loved all kinds of sport. Pollux was particularly good at boxing, while Castor was renowned for his skill and daring on horseback. When Jason was recruiting the Argonauts to join him in his quest of the Golden Fleece, the Dioscuri eagerly accepted the invitation. During the expedition, they became famous for their ability to calm the rough seas, which once or twice had threatened to capsize the Argo.Poseidon, the god of the seas, had made the twin brothers joint saviors of shipwrecked sailors and granted them the power to send favorable winds whenever they wished. Even to this day, the sight of the stars of the Dioscuri in the sky is regarded by sailors as an omen of good luck. Unfortunately, following a bitter fight that the twins had with other warriors, Castor was killed and was summoned to the Underworld. Pollux was heartbroken and prayed to almighty Zeus to take his life as well, for he would not bear to live without his brother. When Zeus invited to join him and the rest of the Olympians on Olympus, Pollux declined saying that he would not like to live forever, while his beloved brother was dead. Zeus was so touched by the twin's love and affection for his brother, that he arranged for them to be together again. They could divide their time between the heavens and the Underworld, spending one day high up in Olympus and the next day beneath the earth, in the realm of Hades. In further recognition of their brotherly love, he set their images among the stars as the constellation of Gemini, so that they would never be again separated. They stand out as two equally bright stars in a constellation of weaker stars.
Dec 8, 2015 I worked with a guy who used to work for a newspaper/ magazine in Spain. He said the horoscopes were always the last thing to be done and it was a case of whoever has finished their jobs needs to right some bs out just so that they have something to go in the horoscope section.
Dec 8, 2015 Ok so u know how people usually just say whatever their sign is based on their birth month, everyone actually has a ton of intersecting signs
