If we didn't have these batches, then people would need other classifying descriptors. Unfortunately, descriptors like trust fund brat, granola, hick, gold digger, white trash, and others would not fly with most people, though there is some "certainty" with those descriptions, too.

People naturally want to understand things and classify them, just like biologists and botanists.
Right, but biologists and botanists classify things based on scientific principles, rather than superstition. This is a huge and very important difference. I understand the human need to classify, but let's do so rationally.

I agree with you. It's completely based on coincidence, and not rationality.

My ex was a Scorpio with NONE of the scorpio traits. Not even a little bit. Very disappointing.

I am currently dating a GEMINI, talks alot, very funny, smart, but drives me crazy because he can't even commit to tiny things like going away for a weekend and is almost undateable because he is just so freakin independent. I can't catch him. He is the greatest loving and caring person while we are together and then he turns around and I don't hear from him for a week because "I didn't feel like it, is this a PROBLEM?". Very frustrating for a possessive Scorpio

I needed this refresher last weekend when I had to draw "zodiac" in Pictionary.

I'm a Capricorn. My late hubby was a Gemini. He was the charismatic, flirty, extrovert. But also loyal. Dumped a friend of his for hurting MY feelings.

I'm not patient and I procrastinate like you wouldn't believe. And I have a temper (I blame that on being Scottish and Italian with a little German thrown in for good measure). I am growing backwards though. I've had several friends point that out to me.

I am a Gemini and I approve this message! haha, seriously though, we do talk alot, are funny and smart and no two are alike! I met one guy and he didn't play videogames(which I thought was weird) but he was always down for playing sports and any kind of outside activity which reminded me of elementary school(flag football anyone?) I am kinda independent too, but I try to be reasonable and I have to laugh at the last line because I have said stuff like that before...I don't like the possessiveness so much of Scorpio but when girls get mad, they are so cute! haha.

The T in TRosa is for Taurus, don't blame it on us Taurians, we are the best of all the zodiacs. (whuuut, you say bull?)

umm no, that would be me!!! haha, but I will this, you guys are patient, or at least the Taurus that I used to date long time ago was. She was just very stubborn and it took her a lot to finally change.

I think there are some general truths to these things. I am also a Gemini and, depending on the crowd, I can also be considered charismatic, funny, extrovert and loyal. I definitely have the gift of the gab, so long as the other side interacts (I have trouble with introverts though).

I think saying Geminis act this way is a lot like any other stereotype, such as saying Italians talk with their hands, have close families and whatnot. It works as a generality and in far greater numbers than average, but I don't think you can necessarily predict how any one person is going to be like based on the zodiac.
