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

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

😂😂😂 quite possibly
I’m an experience that’s for sure 😅

I'm a Sagittarius. I am so far removed in personality from that of a Sagittarius. I am also a non-believer in astrological BS. I think you should choose friends based on how you gel together and if you mutually respect each other. Star Woo is superstition.

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. whenever I’ve read them I used to read them all, and they were all written in slightly different ways to make them look like different messages, but they were actually the same.

So e.g. one might say “you will have a warm encounter today, and a different one will say “your day is looking to be sunny. Same thing, different wording.

I've rarely read anything so silly.

Why thank you

I have a lot of Scorpio water and Capricorn

You mean astrological mud?

No wonder fire signs don't like you, then. Completely smothering.

it's all utter bollocks

Brigante9 · 18/08/2022 23:00

Utter shite. Your rising sign is allegedly more ‘you’ than your sun sign. Get your chart done properly. But it’s all nonsense.

FreyaStorm · 18/08/2022 23:01

What’s your sign OP? I am guessing water, maybe Cancerian?
My failed friendships are with earth signs.

saleorbouy · 18/08/2022 23:02

You're cuckoo....stars signs are absolute BS.
You'd be better worrying about building sensible relationships rather than worry about their starsigns.

SudocremOnEverything · 18/08/2022 23:03

My STBXH is a fire sign. He’s an arsehole.

The correlation is spurious. Largely because the astrology is meaningless.

Thestagshead · 18/08/2022 23:03

Oh op, im cringing so hard for you,

RayneDance · 18/08/2022 23:03

When I look back at my relationships, with family, friends and boyfriends
..it's the compatible signs I felt like walking through an open door..
The others.. different levels of struggle or fun.

MayThe4th · 18/08/2022 23:04

I actually find it hilarious that anyone believes in any of this.

As I said, it’s like believing in Father Christmas, the Easter bunny, that kind of thing.

RayneDance · 18/08/2022 23:04

astrological mud smothering 🤣

Ray92 · 18/08/2022 23:04

Jesus?

FudgeSundae · 18/08/2022 23:05

Okay so I have a question. My kids were both induced due to my high blood pressure and one of my daughters is a Pisces but would have been an Aries were it not for the fact that the pregnancy was becoming dangerous for us both. So is she “really” an Aries? Or is it something magical that happens at the (drip induced totally artificial) birth that makes her a Pisces? In other words, would you want to be friends with her or not, OP? (You would, she’s 17 months and adorable.)

Hugasauras · 18/08/2022 23:06

In one of my first jobs as a reporter, the horoscopes were often late or had a sign missing, so we got to write them if deadline was approaching Grin It was quite fun. But quite clearly a load of old bobbins. Hope no one made any life decisions based on my total nonsense.

Thestagshead · 18/08/2022 23:06

MayThe4th · 18/08/2022 22:51

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

Oh cmon there is folks who think elvis is alive, the moon landings were a hoax and the Covid vaccine is actually a microchip from bill gates, of course sone folks believe this, you name it some unfortunate believes it

RayneDance · 18/08/2022 23:06

May, I don't think I believe in it but when I look at my relationships,it's certain sign's that inseem to instantly get on with.

I was in a club once and Someone actually told me my star sign ! And then went onto pin point the problems I was having atnthst time with an incompatible sign

ITriedToStopSwearingButICunt · 18/08/2022 23:07

You really can't, like, prejudge people because of when their birthday is.
Maybe if you just don't ask them it won't become self-fulfulling.

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!

Yes. Leo here. Totally agree with this first paragraph.

Sorry OP <shrugs and tosses fabulous mane>

Bobinov · 18/08/2022 23:08

Luckily I’m a fire sign

Chardonnay73 · 18/08/2022 23:08

Do you know, this has just occurred to me… I have no idea what star sign my dh or both my dc are!

FlissyPaps · 18/08/2022 23:09

OP YABU

I am the biggest astrology nerd, I have heaps of books about birth charts, the zodiac, the moon and its phases the lot!

But not all fire signs are the same. You can’t tar them with the same brush. Although all fire signs can have similar personality traits, it doesn’t give a true reflection of their character. Don’t look too much into it. Don’t base a friendship over a star sign and who you may think you may or may not be compatible with.

SwelegantParty · 18/08/2022 23:13

It's those No Entry signs you want to be really wary of.

Trixiefirecracker · 18/08/2022 23:21

It’s much more important what your riding sign is so you need to find that out first before you veto 25% of the world.
