Do any of you actually take astrological signs into consideration when considering a mate? Does it attract/repel you any even if slightly? I personally think astrology should go away forever but MANY are actually influenced by this nonsense albeit secretly.

I had a girl ask what sign I was? I told her Libra.Oh I don't get along with Libras.Then she ask if I like to give oral satisfaction? Yes must be my French ancestery.Then she says we might just hit it off.

Well she turned out to be a female Dog with a capital B.So no we didn't hit it off but I really don't think it had anything to do with what sign I was.

I have never considered astrology in any relationship I've ever had. I don't understand it enough to know or care if it would even be significant or not.

Criss Angel had an interesting test. He read peoples palms and he used things he took out of a local paper horoscope. He gave all five people the exact same "reading", word for word...

All five commented on how well he seemed to know them, and how acurate his reading was.

He simply shrugged and explained he told them all possitive things ALL people want to hear about themselves.

It's still used in the Indian culture to arrange marriages. That's Indian, as in India.

I cannot imagine anyone with a two-digit IQ believing in that stuff.

Funny stuff, for sure. About 7 years ago, I co-managed a project with someone with whom I shared the same birthday (in the same year). Before this project, he and I got along - mostly from being the same age and having things we could B.S. about. I am ultra-organized and follow through on everything. He was the consummate disorganized train wreck. Co-managing an important client project was impossible. They had to restructure the division of work on the project so we did not overlap. Bottom line: we were no longer even casual friends after that.

That being said, I have friends in all the calendar months. However, I do have some interesting spikes of numbers of friends, and of women I have dated, in April, August and December which is, according to the inflight magazines and other similar rubbish, exactly who I am supposed to get along with.

Still, it's a crock of crap. But an entertaining one.

I never consider a star sign when meeting someone. We either get along or we don't, star signs have nothing to do with it. But I agree with robert, it can be entertaining.

Well, I think that it's power lies in people wondering who the hell they really are. Rather than simply be objective and define themselves, they instead slap an arbitrary label on themselves based on what time of year they were born.

Hmmm... I'd say that I wouldn't pay much attention to that sort of thing, but I have to admit that I'd probably never date another guy whose birthday was September 8 (my ex's birthday). Especially if the guy was an engineer. And admitted that he didn't respect women. And liked NASCAR. And preferred cats to dogs. And was never on time for anything. And didn't like my mother...

And supposedly my sign is supposed to be a good match for Virgo. Shows how much THEY know! Hmph!
