AIU to hate my star sign?

This is something that has always bothered me. Always. Since I was around 15 and actually looked up my star sign.
If you haven't guessed - I'm a LEO.
I am all the positives. Everyone I know says it of me. My biggest "problem" is trying to please everyone. I put soo much thought into everything I do. When I get it wrong - I quietly torture myself (in my head) about how awful I am. Even if it's nothing all that big. When I do something; I put 100% of my time and energy into it.
I love my family and friends. I would do anything for any one of them. I spoil everyone's children (on DH's side - I adore all my nieces and nefews)
My family - however - always portray me as the negatives. I love my sisters, even though we have had a very rocky relationship. Since moving away from home with DH; they think I'm selfish. Even though we have built a beautiful life. We got married, had 3 children. They are welcome any time. Open invitation. We go back home regularly to see everyone.
This somehow makes me selfish. And apparently self centered.

Leo's are known for being generous. But they're also known for being all these horrible things. It makes me soo sad.
Any other Leo's out there HATE their star sign?
Does anyone else not like their star sign or identify with it (not just leo's)?
Just wondering.
Totally lighthearted. Obviously I know it doesn't matter in the great grand scheme of things. I am (I hope) an overall good person.
Thank you x

I am an Aries , then became a Pisces with the new set up ( hate all that)
I am not a fish at all! Was not impressed.

Robin233 · 30/07/2021 19:39

Have you heard about the new zodiac?
In 2000 years or so the stars are in quite different places - so I'm not a Scorpio (thank goodness) I'm a Libra- which makes a lot more sense .
I prefer harmony and balance and I never been a ruthless, jealous , revenge seeking person.

@Neondisco

No your biggest problem is you believe this crap.
Agreed
JellyBabiesFan · 30/07/2021 19:41

I am literally the Sagittarius in person

How can you literally be the Sagittarius?

Saggitarius is the half human half horse sign. Are you horse on the top or bottom? How do you ever find clothes to wear?

thistimelastweek · 30/07/2021 19:41

It's been years since I heard anyone talk about star signs.

Where's this shit been and why is it back?

Catflapkitkat · 30/07/2021 19:43

I can see both sides but then I am a Gemini

Ds2 is a Gemini : he does have a split personality!
the80sweregreat · 30/07/2021 19:49

I admit that if I meet anyone new I do try and find out their star sign ( the old ones , not the new ones)
Not sure why , just find it fascinating even though I know it's all rubbish ..

Kalvinette · 30/07/2021 20:08

I'm a Pisces and am meant to be an alcoholic artistic unstable easily addicted pushover. I'm all those things tbh.

Now if you REALLY want to freak yourself go and look up your secret language of birthdays profile. It's like astrology but rather than you being one of 12 possible profiles, you're one of 365:

DroopyClematis · 30/07/2021 20:14

I'm Taurus and I'm supposed to like beautiful things, particularly jewels. I'm also supposed to covet.
I don't wear any jewellery nor do I care what other people have ( though I covet a field.!)

I shouldn't marry a Scorpio as we would fight .
I married a Scorpio and we're still, happily together after 31 years.

Astrology is a fanciful concept that enslaves the people who, coincidentally, identify with the traits that charlatans have concocted.

For every person that says " oh my God , that's me" there are dozens of people who say "poppycock."

IonaLeg · 30/07/2021 20:15

No, not remotely. Of all the star signs, it’s probably the one I least identify with.

Ponoka7 · 30/07/2021 20:17

I'm a typical Aries. Even the stupid stuff that comes up on FB fits me to a T. I like the positive stuff and recognise my negatives.

My Mum and my DD are exactly how Scorpios are described.

BuffySummersReportingforSanity · 30/07/2021 20:19

It is literally all Barnum statements.

Do you really believe that all the people born in a month have similar personality characteristics because, IDK, balls of burning hydrogen?

DismantledKing · 30/07/2021 20:19

I don’t identify with my star sign as it’s all bollocks.

lazylinguist · 30/07/2021 20:20

It's a load of old codswallop. Obviously.

Bjarnum · 30/07/2021 20:21

@ForkedIt

At least you aren’t a Virgo Wink
OI!

There's not much on the telly
AlwaysLatte · 30/07/2021 20:26

They're all so generic they all apply to everyone. A little bit of normal human nature in each one. So no!

PearlFriday · 30/07/2021 20:29

Yes, i know it cant be real but im quite typically piscean!

the80sweregreat · 30/07/2021 20:30

Aries are the worst?? I'm so not.
A complete people pleaser , I sympathize way too much and generally too nice it's a bit annoying really .
Not a ram ..

Looubylou · 30/07/2021 20:34

You would definately recognise me as an Aquarian, but I still think it's a load of baloney.

mathanxiety · 30/07/2021 20:37

I know it's a load of cobblers but I fit mine.

IveGotASongThatllGetOnYNerves · 30/07/2021 20:39

I'm a Sagittarius but no idea if I'm 'typical' because it's all bollocks imo.

SupermanWithTheGreyHair · 30/07/2021 20:54

It's been years since I heard anyone talk about star signs.

Same. I remember it being a thing when I was a teenager but haven’t heard them mentioned in years til this thread. No clue what star sign my kids are now I think about it.

Silversun83 · 30/07/2021 21:27

Capricorn and yes, I completely identify with both the positives and negatives. Though haven't looked into it for ages! Tbh I'm not even sure I know what signs my DC are Grin
