My powers are telling me.... Hmmm.... You're very skeptical but open minded. You're loyal, but you have a limit to how much shit you'll take from anybody.

How'd I do?

on the chinaman's astrology, it's agreed that the Dragon, Tiger, Horse and Ox are the bosses, and that the Rat, Rooster, Rabbit, Goat and Pig are meh, and that Dogs, Monkeys and Snakes (on a plane) are pretty cool.

also a note to the noobs. the lunar year starts roughly one month after out solar year... so u might be the next animal rather than the one u think u are. half of the chineae zodiac articles don't pay attention to that detail and can be misleading.

Like for the longest time I thought I wuz a Rabbit and then I find out I'm actually a Tiger? Bro. I got a new lease on life when I found that out. Think I even went shopping.

Well, most people at least think there is a limit to how much shit they'll take, even battered women who don't leave. I don't see much Cancer in your attempt, not really any Gemini either. But my guess is you are going for the people buy vague personality descriptions argument by example.

Here's the real test. The real test would be to do a real blind study with one astrological sign. Say Cancer. IOW many people have heard something about their Sun signs, but know very little else - you could then weed out those who know more.

So, 100 people with Cancer Sun signs.
You get their birth info, time and place, give their charts with just a number to astrologists considered good by their peers.
The astrologers give a one page description for each chart and every person in the 100 gets two charts from that batch and they are to pick the one that fits them better.

Or...

You give 100 people with Cancer sun signs a personality questionaire, with 15 questions - short essay type questions. Then you give a team of astrologers the birth info of each participant and two or three of the participants answers. They try to match the questionaire to the birth info. They get to draw up charts.

All having the same sun sign and little info about astrology cuts down any influence sun sign info might have on their sense of selves.

Those are real tests.

Mostly I find people don't know too much about astrology. For example thinking there are 12 possible personality descriptions. There are other assumptions.

But that's the way to start debunking or seeing if there is some correlation.

That was his point. And it fits something like a vague sun sign descriptor.

So, if anyone wants to see a bit more about their natal sit., pop in your birth data. Not giving readings, but you can find out a bit more than the sun sign thing - the sun sign clumping you as the same as 8.33333 % of the world.

Conversely, the Leos, Aries, Scorpios and Capricorns are always the first to make sure everyone knows what their sign is.
Confirmation bias.
What star sign is that?

I know it's a farce to suck gullible people in.

But I have no problem playing the farce that is human life.

I'll guess you are a Scorpio.

Guess again!
Aries.
NO.
Two down

I'm going to have a stab at LEO now because you were the first one to reply to this thread. Seems the title had you drawn in. And Leo's are always up for a bit of fun, especially a mischievous, monkey business kind of fun. :) ?

Thanks to you and veggie for playing along. :)

People born under the sign of Cancer have been a constant presence during my life.

Yes it does, and humans just love to dream up images and symbols to convey meaning. It's all part of the natural artistry of the human expression. I do believe human emotions and feelings are real and humans invent their own attributes to apply to themselves as a way of expressing their sense of aliveness.I believe we are intuitive and develop the capacity very early on in life to be repelled or drawn to specific types of characters we come into contact with.
Flannel Jesus wrote: Tue Mar 21, 2023 7:58 pmThat being said, thank the stars there isn't an ounce of truth to it.
But humans are all of the same basic make-up, fundamentally. They're all born with the same feeling sentience, breathing the same air, and bleeding the same red blood, they all have the same needs and desires. Human emotions are real, like emotions of joy, sorrow, and anger, pleasure, pain, and forgiveness, loyalty, empathy, compassion, hate,and jealousy.

Humans are all capable of feeling all these things, and they are real, or seem real, because they are each and all of our experience.
