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

I'm an earth sign on get on really well with fire signs. Apparently the moon was in Aries when I was born so perhaps it's that.

Water signs however...

yanbu, because you are being RIDICULOUS 😁but you're right not to waste time on people who aren't worth it.

Grumpusaurus · 18/08/2022 23:27

You sound unhinged OP!

VeganPesto · 18/08/2022 23:27

How do you even know your own sign never mind other people’s?

I've felt insulted a few times on mumsnet today but I thought at least my star sign was safe (Aries). Turns out I was wrong 😀It's all good. Goodnight OP.

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.)

Exactly this. I was born 9 days late so I'm a Virgo, but my due date was Leo. What if I'd been born 9 days early?

My best friend is also a Virgo (2 days before me). She was very premature and was due to be a Scorpio. So we're both Earth but should have been fire and water respectively. And we get on famously.

As an aside, I always thought Scorpio was a fire sign. It just seems to make more sense to me than water for it. And the scorpian didn't fare well in the fable...

I digress.

Also, what about those born on the 23rd or 24th of the month, on the cusp. How do we know what their true sign is as it depends on which newspaper/website you're reading. One friend used to read both and decide which one she liked the sound of that particular day.

Fire rabbit here apparently. By chinese zodiac.

I know my star sign is Scorpio. I wouldn't know what earth/fire/water signs are without googling though....

That doesn't answer my question about the changing star signs...

How does this work when I was Capricorn and now I’m Sagittarius apparently?

i don’t do Star signs so I’m not bothered either way, happy to be any!

Phrenologistsfinger · 18/08/2022 23:35

YANBU!

SmileyClare · 18/08/2022 23:36

I think it's a cop out to rationalise failed friendships on the basis of pseudoscience.
It's far too simplistic and absolves all personal responsibility or self improvement.

I can't think of many "failed friendships" in my life, apart from a few friends who I've gradually lost touch with due to circumstance, lives moving in different directions or just not having much in common.

It's worth having a look within if a you fall out with a friend or they distance themselves and consider some self reflection.

I can imagine a fire rabbit cartoon villain. Sounds awesome. There's a user name in there.

I'm an Earth Dog. That couldn't get more boring and dependable if I tried.

My personality is definitely more Fire Rabbit.

FlissyPaps · 18/08/2022 23:37

Star signs don’t change people. As it goes on the constellations and alignments of the date you were born. (Not when you were due. When you were born)

Your date of birth will never change.

Meraas · 18/08/2022 23:40

I thought this was about people shagging metal signs. Objectophilia.
