Dating, According to the Stars
Now, I've never been a particularly superstitious person and the depths of astrology and fortune telling have always seemed a little too far fetched to really be taken seriously, but sometimes I do wonder. Perhaps it does work, somehow, at least to a certain extent; I just can't understand how. Does a lack of understanding mean that it can't be, though? I don't understand how something as un-aerodynamic as a bumblebee with such tiny wings and a fat furry body can fly but I see them doing it all summer long. Sometimes, things that seem completely implausible are actually quite real. Allow me to take a step back to my original point: astrology. For some reason this stuff really enthuses me and I often can not help but read up about the different signs, their meanings, how they interact with each other; I've even gone as far as to read up on Chinese astrology as well (though I do have some Chinese roots, so that's not all that surprising). It's not that I actually believe all of it and there is a lot of stuff that, according to the stars, I should be but am not; I just find all of it extremely interesting.
Let me try to explain further:
I am a Scorpio and as such I am deep, brooding, sharp, loyal, charming and sexual. Seriously, that's no lie; Scorpios are supposedly very sexual people. However, even though my birthday falls slap bang in the middle of the Scorpio cycle, I do not exhibit some characteristics integral to the normal Scorpio manner, notably I lack a tendency towards violence, holding grudges or being particularly spiteful.
Sure, so characteristics can be very general and could apply to many people with any sign, but there is one other thing that I've realised lately that made me think and that is star-sign compatibility. You see, there are two signs that Scorpios get along with especially well; they are other Scorpios and their astrological opposites, Taurus.
Well, there is a current lady that I have been... erm... courting, and the other day I nearly laughed out loud when I found out she's a Scorpio. You see, I have this habit of mysteriously managing to surround myself with Scorpio women without even realising. Most of the girls and women that I have been with since I was about fourteen have been Scorpios and the others, you guessed it, were all Taurus.
I don't quite know how it happens but it seems I have this odd ability to be in a crowded bar full of lots of hot women and somehow I will pick out the one Scorpio lady to chat up. Yes, so the powers of attraction can be quite amazing but what always amazes me more is the fact that somehow, the stars seem to know or have at some point decided who I am attracted to.
How on earth does that even work? It makes no sense, right? Have you ever been surprised by astrology predicting correctly about your dating life? How much do you believe in superstition and fortune telling?

- About Me: I like semi-colons and proper spelling and grammar. I like reading mundane blogs with no agenda. I like to go down the pub, even if I'm on my own, and make friends with the bar staff over a scotch on ice. More often than not, there is someone I know there I can hang out with. I don't like people who incessantly go on about their weight or only talk about their supposed problems with drugs or alcohol and my pet peeve: the tragic love lives of the "lonely". Okay so all these things are very sad but it's all I ever seem to hear about. Aren't you people bored of talking about the same stuff all the time?

Dude, I never thought about it, but me and my girlfriend are both Scorpio. That's freaky.
Although I don't doubt the existence of abnormal "persuading factors" in our lives, actually I'm quite sure they exists, theres just no hard evidence.
lol, i'm a taurus, broke up with my scorpio gf on a sour note; she wasn't too loyal after all, not too mention not sexual either.
@ch4n2o@xanga - Ah yes, my taurus gf when I was in school was amazing but it all ended rather badly. What do they say... opposite attract and then they realise why they were opposites to start with and fight endlessly!
It's interesting..
but sometimes, it is true O_O
I've just been surprised with how well I fit into the Scorpio sign. Apparently the characteristics of Scorpio fit me very well, but so do the characteristics of Libra. My birthday falls on October 23rd, the day where the signs switch between Libra and Scorpio. So, that being the case, I often have trouble with the signs. Some horoscopes will say I am a Libra, while others will say I am a Scorpio. I guess, in a sense, that gives me liberty to be one way or the other way or be a mix of both. But, for me, it's a pain in the a** to read up on my horoscope because of how my birthday falls so I don't even bother.
Meh, I don't know. I'm supposed to be a Leo, but I feel like I'm not at all like one. My twin brother, however, screams Leo. We were born three months early. We were supposed to be Scorpios. I feel like I'm much more of a Scorpio than I am a Leo. I'm not sure if it can work like that, though.
I'm always inclined to laugh at this stuff. The only reason this works is because it's so general. I can match qualities and traits about myself to all the signs. Particularly Aquarius, yet I'm a Libra.
The astrology is only fun to look up to confirm 'good stuff' but when it says negative things, it doesn't phase me much. *shrug* Other than very distinctive characteristics of a couple of astrological signs--Leo, Gemini, Scorpio--it's really general. lol Although I guess it shouldn't be a surprise that my best friend is a Taurus and I'm a Gemini
@linguistic_nonsense@xanga - Ah, you're on the cusp. That means you're a transitional sign and will tend towards characteristics of both signs. I don't hold much out for horoscopes as they tend to be so very vague but when it comes to characteristics and personality, that's where I see the truth behind astrology.
well, all i know is, i'm an Aquarius and most of my SO's have been Capricorns. we do get along together pretty well. :)
I'm just curious as to who it is, heeeeeeeeeheeeeeee
Ever date a cancer? :P
haha. My boyfriend is a Scorpio and I'm a Cancer. He claims we're a "perfect match". We're creeping up on 1 year and this has been one of my most calm and happiest relationships. :D
Aquarius!
I never looked in to it seriously. I just like reading my horoscope in Cosmo every once in a while
:P
@nimbusthedragon@xanga - Who are you talking about?
I have no idea what sign I'm "supposed" to date but I'm a Virgo. Only half fit it-while I am a big thinker and very organized, I'm not quiet at all, which is one of the biggest Virgo traits, haha.
But now that I think about it, every guy I've seriously dated had a birthday early in the year...hm, wonder if there's a connection?
the only guy i've ever really, really loved in my life has been a scorpio and i'm a taurus. and i've looked up the match, and they are supposedly perfect for each other.
my ex and i, however, don't match. he's a pisces, and when i looked up ours - once i read this - it seemed like most of the time they'd clash. i found it true to our relationship, too.
it's weird how that works. my mom just shakes her head and says you want to place yourself as a taurus because you are one, and therefore you just see it working to your life, and that anyone can relate. but i like to think that it's real and working, anyway..
I'm a Virgo female which means I'm not compatible with a lot of ppl...hmm seems true so far! lol
astrology = waste of brain cells
I'm a Libra... and apparently I'm a calm and peaceful person. Haha- I am that sort, but not too calm. I'm pretty adventurous, which would "connect" to my boyfriend, who is a Sagittarus. Haha, he fits that very well because he is SO adventurous and loves making new friends the thing that hit me was that he is ALWAYS generous.... and is blunt in our relationship, sometimes making it seem rude to me
mmm....
Yes lol.
I don't really believe in it, I just look at it sometimes expecting to laugh. It's only been true maybe once or twice, otherwise its mostly wrong haha.
Astrology is BS. The only reason it appears true on some occasions is due to coincidence.
Unfortunately, Astrology and all of that, seems to rule my life.Â
No, just cause me and someone else are supposedly not compatible, dosen't mean I'll refuse to give them a chance, I just take it with caution.I guess it's like a guide for me. lol;Â
facebook tarots are pretty accurate...its crazy
I sometimes entertain the thought and procure amusement from the various half-truths that they hold in my life, but I don't base my life off of the horoscopes.
