To not want to be friends with fire signs

[Lordylord1]

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

Can someone advise me?
I'm Aries, but we're obviously all bastards. Can I identify as another star sign?

I'm fire baby! Don't get on very well with earthy or watery types. Except Virgos though. We balance each other somehow. The others, All those emotions, moodiness, afraid of change, conservative... Yawny yawn. But hey we can still be friends! Earth needs us all!

I think it’s fair enough to just lie. Pick whatever star sign you fancy at any given moment. Today I am going to be a Gemini, for example.
if anyone questions you, tell them that you are astrologucally non-duodecimal. 🤷🏻‍♀️

😂, I can just imagine doing that! I actually considered the lying but I don't know enough about other star signs to pick a safe bet! I mean I thought aries was safe.... This has put the cat among the pigeons for sure. I have actually heard people say things like "I bet he's a cancerian". It kind of blows my mind a bit to realise it might not have been the slightly daft, jokey, innocent comment I thought it was! I am definitely astrologically non-duodecimal from now on. Just need to practice saying that a bit!

Or maybe mumsnet is just a bit nuts! Yeah, I think that's probably closer to the truth.

True! 😁

Yes I agree you are bat shit crazy

I love this thread. Please can we have more nutso threads like this? It's all too serious. Sag here. Sending fiery argumentativeness and much love to op.

My STBXH’s grandmother changed her birthday because she wanted to identify as a different star sign.

I’m not even joking. She celebrates her birthday on a completely different day to the anniversary of her birth because of astrology. 🤯

My SIL is a Leo and a very kind, sweet lady.

The thing is, I have absolutely no trouble believing you! Crazy world 😆

So many sags on this thread
no wonder it’s ace!!’

Oh no, going by the new chart I'm a completely different sign now. While I wait for my personality transplant, I'll end all my current relationships and start over again. Damn it!

Realised I didn't know DC's signs. Looked it up. Apparently me, DH and DS2 are fire. DS1 is water. What does this mean???

God I'm rolling my eyes so hard at some of these comments. I hope they're not serious.

I avoid all Scorpio women like the plague; they're secretive, manipulative and controlling

I won't touch Leo men with a bargepole

When do these unfavourable characteristics kick in then? If you gave birth to a Scorpio daughter would you avoid her like the plague? I mean clearly her personality and values have been written in the stars

At best it's a bit of silly fun but the flip side is a bizarre rigid way of thinking like something from the dark ages.

I'm a fire sign and I have loads of great friends born at different times of the year, so I think maybe it's YOU that's the problem. I wouldn't want to be friends with someone who believes in this ridiculous claptrap anyway so you're all good👍

You will have to put DS1 up for adoption as he’s incompatible with the rest of the family.

Unless he’s old enough to simply abandon in the street?

the other common denominator there is you...

I don't generally buy into astrology but I have one exception. I'm a Sagittarius and have the same issue over and over again with people who are Scorpio. It's hard to put into words but the best I can say is that I feel like they're hurting me. Sometimes it feels like they mean to, other times like they don't realise they are.

I must add that I have usually got these feelings before finding out their birthday/star sign.

Indeed, my failed romantic relationships are all with supposedly very compatible signs.

The common denominator there is my crap taste in men and total lack of character judgement in the early stages of a relationship. That would be an issue regardless when they were born.

Sagittarians don’t. Well-known fact.

I'm now wondering if anyone has ever timed conception to end up with a desirable star sign for their child? Not anyone on this thread.... Just anyone.

See the image for an explanation.

Imagine their dismay when the baby was early/late…

It may be relevant to this thread that she’s opted out of a fire sign…
