I know if I read this I would probably think I was crazy.
but it’s dawned on me I don’t get on with fire signs! I like them as aquaintences but I always feel let down by them
as im quite deep and emotional and I find fire signs to be about image abs quite hard hearted.

all my failed friendships are with fire sign ladies - have I finally gone cuckoo lol

There must be something in your chart that jars with them.
For example, if you have a lot of Scorpio placements then Leo placements would square that; making it typically difficult for you to get on. I'd need to see your chart to give a better answer.

I have a lot of Scorpio water and Capricorn

You can be friends with a fire sign, but exit signs are a bit more responsible.

You are quite entitled, OP, to make decisions on who you do and don't want in your life. Your reasons are your business. No-one has the right to criticise/judge/belittle them because they don't agree.

Personally I avoid all Scorpio women like the plague. I find them manipulative, secretive and disloyal.

Dare I ask your signs?

I really clash with Aries men but get on amazingly with Aries women.

I think exit signs might be a little easier 😂

Don't dismiss fire signs if the universe brings them forth. It's for a reason.

You won’t want my opinion on this. I’m Sagittarius, born in the year of the dragon.

I attract Sagittarius’s as friends for some reason. But we we end up arguing and falling out. I find them selfish they probably find me intense

I'm Libra with Libra rising, ruling planet is Venus, year of the rabbit. Could I be any more lovable? 😁

My best friend is a Scorpio - are we breaking the rules?

No I have a great friend that’s a Libra and I’m Scorpio! It’s just based on fun and looking out for each other. Wish all my friendships were like this one

Maybe you'd have fewer failed friendships if you were less... nuts?

Ray92 · 18/08/2022 22:47

Yeah so those placements probably square sun sign Leos and Aries. Mercury is never far from the sun, so possibly squaring their mercury, too making conversation difficult.
Would be unusual for you to adore the fire signs without any trines, so unless you have some fire placements then the dislike is understandable.
Pisceans might be a good fit?

BEAM123 · 18/08/2022 22:48

I get on with everyone except Aquarians, every time an Aquarian enters my life we initially get on like a house on fire, then suddenly one day we realise we can't stand each other. It's odd. I don't believe in any of it, but somehow it works....!

Bigoldhag · 18/08/2022 22:48

As a Sagi I probably agree with you!! I find intense, emotional people really hard to deal
with, as I consider myself a quite resilient and self sufficient person and cannot relate.

I also get the ick with people, romantically and platonically very easily - although I have plenty of long term friends who are opposite of me!

Fairislefandango · 18/08/2022 22:50

I've rarely read anything so silly.

Grananger · 18/08/2022 22:50

Only my Sun sign is air, all the rest of my chart is pretty much fire. But you wouldn’t know that unless you’d studied astrology and had seen my chart. I think you’re a bit loopy.

MayThe4th · 18/08/2022 22:51

Do people really, I mean genuinely believe in all this crap? Seriously?

My mercury is exalted in Aquarius. <proud>

twilightermummy · 18/08/2022 22:52

Certain signs are more compatible with others.
I’m a fire sign and I couldn’t care less about my image though so, you’re wrong on that front. Hard hearted? Hmm... 😂

Hmm it’s funny because on the one hand I’m solidly scientific and yet on the other I love a bit of woo. And am capable of holding two entirely opposing opinions I suppose!

As I type I’m surrounded by clinical papers, yet I am doing a tarot reading tomorrow.

Chickydoo · 18/08/2022 22:54

I am a Leo, DH a Sagittarius. DD & DS1 are Aries & DS2&3 are also Leo's.
We are on 🔥 you probably wouldn't want to come to ours for a BBQ 🍗 🍖 😂

I really thought it was actual fire signs. Then I wondered if it was some weird nickname for a job like maybe a call handler or an arson investigator. Then I realised you must mean star signs. I don't think I know what star sign any of my friends have.

What I don't understand is how people think they influence their personality? I always read them because it's so interesting to see how they wrote the cold reading to make it sound applicable to everyone. But I've never thought they were anything other than that.

WhileMyGuitarGentlyWeeps · 18/08/2022 22:54

Bonkers!

MayThe4th · 18/08/2022 22:56

It’s not real though. It really isn’t.

It’s akin to believing in Father Christmas.

When you were born has absolutely no bearing on who you are; what kind of temperament you have etc. none what so ever. It’s all made up.
