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

As in the emergency exit signs for how to escape in case of fire? Why would you "not get on" with an inanimate object? Wrong font or colour for your taste?

swimlyn · 19/08/2022 00:33

You think you’ve got problems. I can’t be worrying about fire signs when my chakras are all skew whiff.

stillvicarinatutu · 19/08/2022 00:39

I know this isn't what you mean op but I had to
Photograph our fire sign on the door

It says to manually release push away from you and kick black nob towards the door
😂.
What did he do to you !? 😂. Race hate incident I'm sure .

Sorry for hijack .

What an absolute heap of crap!

You're a Scorpio, aren't you? Grin

tokyotea · 19/08/2022 00:59

This thread made me laugh but I'm a Piscean sheep! Fell into a rabbit hole about Chinese astrology.. oh so very interesting. Thanks OP. You stay away from them fire signs though 😂

theniceunderstandingone · 19/08/2022 01:10

I'm an Aries and I'm not image obsessed. I think I'm quite loyal and supportive to my friends and partner.
I hear you about swearing off certain star signs though.
I've been hurt by quite a few Leo's and Geminis so I tend to steer clear of them now 🤣🤣🤣

theniceunderstandingone · 19/08/2022 01:13

Hi 5 @Minty78 - fellow Aries here!! I'm not offended because I'm not how OP has described lol

User8273738273737 · 19/08/2022 01:14

Omg I thought this was someone talking about actual signs and was 🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐 and then I understood it was about star signs

now let’s talk about which Hogwarts house we all went to and who from where we got on with

how can people believe that the date and time you’re born in can somehow affect your personality or whatever? What about the million other things/experiences/opportunities or lack thereof/trauma/relationships/ I could go on / that happen to people or that people do? None of that matters?

rocketfromthecrypt · 19/08/2022 01:39

When your birthday is has no bearing on your personality. It's a load of cock.

friendsaddict87 · 19/08/2022 01:44

You're not being unreasonable, I really think it's a thing! I don't get on with any Aries 😬 they all seem to have this very reactive angry trait that scares me and I just distance myself from them ASAP. My mum is an Aries, an ex partner and ex best mate and they all behave the same, really angry and irrational and any colleagues or friends I've met subsequently has the same traits! I'll never go near a guy born in April 🤣

donquixotedelamancha · 19/08/2022 01:46

You get to many on mumsnet agreeing with you most will pretend they don’t know what your talking about!

Why would people be lying about not knowing about this? It's like saying you don't get along with Tieflings and Drow- people who don't follow that particular hobby wouldn't know what you meant either.

I hear you about swearing off certain star signs though. I've been hurt by quite a few Leo's and Geminis so I tend to steer clear of them now

My mum feels the same about South Asians. I think you are being more ridiculous than her but there isn't much in it.

Perhaps there is some common factor pissing all those people off. Is there one person that they all know who might be really annoying?

Mamanyt · 19/08/2022 01:58

I'd be more interested in what these people's moon signs and rising signs are, as that has just as much to do with personality as do sun signs. Perhaps even more. Sun signs are only a small part of a whole picture, and you're missing a lot.

friendsaddict87 · 19/08/2022 02:02

@donquixotedelamancha are you an Aries by any chance 🤣

Gilead · 19/08/2022 02:35

Utter nonsense, sorry but Astro signs and fitting some proscribed descriptions is nonsense.

MrsNeilGaiman · 19/08/2022 03:01

Didn't read a word of this but I just wanted to say that a very very serious horoscope lady did both my chart and my STBDH's chart decades ago. She said she had never seen two charts more comparable and was stunned at how well we fitted.

We lasted about two years, got divorced (not well) and now I'm with a Gemini. A fucking Gemini.

It's all a steaming pile of bollocks. But I would say that, I'm a Scorpio. Grin

Kitkatcatflap · 19/08/2022 03:02

You have never had a real girlfriend have you? Keyboard tapping doesn't count.

Open the curtains and go outside.

Aria999 · 19/08/2022 03:06

We fire signs don't believe in astrology

Shodan · 19/08/2022 03:11

Apparently, I'm not supposed to get on well with Sagittarians, what with being a deceptive/mean/sly/passionate/moody/deep/emotional/scary Scorpio, but DP is Sagittarian.

We were friends first, so maybe that's why it works.

Or perhaps it's my monkeyness he's attracted to.

I know why I'm attracted to him though.

He has very big feet and hands. And you know what they say about that.

Lofari · 19/08/2022 03:13

Another one here who thought the OP was bonkers and trying to befriend an actual sign.....

ThePumpkinPatch · 19/08/2022 03:26

I GENUINELY, truly thought you were a bit drunk and talking about Emergency Exit signs 🤦🏼‍♀️ Honest to god

Snowraingain · 19/08/2022 04:00

I thought you meant fire door signs or fire exits.
I have no idea which signs people are. I’m not sure what my husband or kids are.

pollyglot · 19/08/2022 04:12

I'm a fire sign. Leo, born in the year of the tiger. I don't get on with Capricorns, whom I find selfish and shallow. DH is a scorpio though, which proves how daft this all is. Fire and water don't mix? nah, - sex is hot as hell. Still don't like capricorns though, and pisces is dull and. ..ermm..moist.

JenniferBarkley · 19/08/2022 04:14

But iv had 2 really important friendships that iv been left feeling really hurt by!

...

To be honest I should have said Leo and sanitarians. i don’t fall out with my Aries friends so yoir good 😄

Hang on. You've had two failed friendships, which gives you the basis to write off people from... two different signs?
