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

Free universal education. Mass access to the greatest information network ever created, holding damn near the entirety of humanity's knowledge to date. And we get this. Not even just as a fun diversion, but taken seriously.

It's… dispiriting.

Although that free universal education I mentioned may be one of the few causes of genuine personality differences based on birth month. I'm happy to entertain the idea that someone who goes through childhood and adolescence and most of their educational experiences being one of the oldest, furthest-developed kids in a peer group has, on average, a slightly different personality to someone who went through it all as one of the youngest.

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.

I think you'll enjoy this bit by Dara O Briain. Can't play it at this hour to check if it's the right clip, but fingers crossed..

Sorry OP but I think this is about as sensible as doing a Facebook quiz on which Hogwarts house you'd be in and then choosing your friendships based on that!

Butitsnotfunnyisititsserious · 19/08/2022 05:46

😂😂😂😂😂 what's that going to be, the opening question to someone?!

Museya15 · 19/08/2022 05:50

I once had a work colleague who would not acknowledge me because she disliked my starsign. 🤷

What a fruit loop

DaisyJoy1 · 19/08/2022 05:54

I know that starsigns are very trendy at the moment but please remember that they are literal bullshit.

Carpy88999 · 19/08/2022 06:00

You should get everyone you know to do a buzz feed quiz about what fruit they would be. Avoid all the people who ate fruit you don't like.

djdkdkddkek · 19/08/2022 06:03

I’m a sag but my Saturn conjuncts all of my major placements (opposes my moon) so I’m prob not firey enough

I love birth charts they’re so fun and interesting!

HeadacheEarthquake · 19/08/2022 06:07

I think it's you, not them. Maybe us lovely fire signs should stay away from nutters

Quincythequince · 19/08/2022 06:07

Second time in two days I’ve seen someone attribute some aspect of a person’s personality to their star sign.

The first was my son’s dentist yesterday who asked me his star sign ( I didn’t know) and if he was so clumsy because of it (he has a broken arm again). I gave her a solid 🙄

Can you believe this shit. Do people actually believe in this utter shite?

Quincythequince · 19/08/2022 06:09

And I’m an Aries OP 🐏and I’m my now advancing years, have been told all my life by many friends that I am one of the most loyal people they know.

Make of that what you will 🤣

Oblomov22 · 19/08/2022 06:26

Which ones are fire signs again? I had to look it up! I get in with all of them. Married to a Leo! You have to be a strong personality yourself. You don't sound strong. Why don't you work on that.

Oblomov22 · 19/08/2022 06:34

Liked the Dara O Briain clip!
Russell Grant: this week the Scorpio's will mostly be .... Hmm

Aries ♈️ here 🔥 scorpios = sting in their tail and in my opinion very secretive. A star sign to avoid whilst dating 🤣

Shoxfordian · 19/08/2022 06:45

What do you think tends to go wrong op? Is it a mixture of personality types?

Herejustforthisone · 19/08/2022 07:17

I cannot believe that people not only buy into the star sign thing (they all got changed apparently due to some other calendar, hence bullshit) and actually base decisions about their lives on it.

Penguinsaregreat · 19/08/2022 07:39

On the back of this thread I’ve just looked up my star sign. It says I’m incompatible with my dh’s star sign. 😬😬😬

You can look up whole charts. Certain placements react well with other placements even if your sun signs don’t match

astrology thinks that I am, in fact, highly compatible with my STBXH and my ex before that. Turns out a system of categorising people by birthday got it wrong. Who’d’ve thunk?

djdkdkddkek · 19/08/2022 07:44

Sorry I appreciate you provdvly meant that mockingly and I don’t know why I tried to be chatty about it haha whoops

this is like that thing psychics do where there get it wrong then dissemble til they’ve found away to sound like they were in fact right all along.

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

I know one scorpio ( I only know she is a scorpio because she constantly goes on about it and posts quotes about how scorpios are passionate and fierce underneath her instagram pictures) but I have started to find it quite irritating and attention seeking. I'm a Sagittarius so perhaps there is some truth in what you're saying and we could never be friends OP 😅. But the reality is I probably have loads of scorpio friends/acquaintances I like...I just don't believe star signs make personalities different so have no clue what star sign anyone is.
