If i was to fall pregnant like i did last time then I'm deciding whether to start trying this month or next (between a gemini & cancerian child)

Which one do you like best?

TBH I don't believe in horoscopes and all I can say is if you think it is that easy to choose when you get pregnant and when your child will be born you might be in for a bit of a reality check (it took me two years)
I hope that won't be the case for you but just bear it in mind so you won't be disappointed if your lo is neither cancerian or gemini!

what happens if you don't (I got pregnant first try first time, took way longer the second time). what happens if they are premature? Does it really bother you?

southeastastra · 22/08/2007 20:22

gemini

boo64 · 22/08/2007 20:23

I hope you are just having a little bit of fun in asking this question and aren't remotely serious?

Bouquetsofdynomite · 22/08/2007 20:23

I'm a Cancerian and we are very loyal and good at home-making and spoiling our loved ones. My DD is a Gemini and she is PITA!
Also, the warmer the weather the more outdoor parties you can have - after a certain age you can just bung 'em in a tent with some marshmallows for the night.

Bouquetsofdynomite · 22/08/2007 20:24

Oh FGS I think people are being a little bit oversensitive here. Of course she's joking.

WigWamBam · 22/08/2007 20:25

The chances of you conceiving at a particular time, and then delivering at a particular time, are very, very, very slim.

You will love your child no matter what star sign they are - that's got to be more important than trying for a particular sign because you like that one best.

lulumama · 22/08/2007 20:25

surely childrens' ( and all peoples ) personalities and traits are determined more by genetics, nurture, environemnt and other factors, rather than the stars in the sky?

surely having certain rigid expectations of behaviour based on date of birth is not a great idea?

LaDiDaDi · 22/08/2007 20:27

It's all bollocks anyway! !

zippitippitoes · 22/08/2007 20:27

I'm gemini

definitely have the gemini personality myself which is of course fantastic unpredictable creative etc etc

boo64 · 22/08/2007 20:35

Yes ladida totally agree - how could everyone born in a particular month possibly share personality traits? I've always wondered how that's meant to be the case.

And WHY?
ANy horoscope fans out there who can explain?

Brangelina · 22/08/2007 20:40

I'd worry more about the ascendent myself....

Bouquetsofdynomite · 22/08/2007 20:46

Chinese horoscopes are worse, I refuse to be lumped in with everyone I went to school with!

thegardener · 22/08/2007 20:49

Course i'm having a bit of fun, trying to think past the birth, yikes

OP posts:
boo64 · 22/08/2007 20:52

In that case - sorry....

I reckon a cool idea then is to seek psychic help on the birth plan - it would be more reliable than most of our birth plans!!

thegardener · 22/08/2007 20:54

Quite agree

gemini. I'm,ruddy marvellous me! And my father, who is a cancerian, is a twatty cold fish.

Wheelybug · 22/08/2007 21:01

I'm cancerian - clearly much superior character traits to a gemini (). Caring and loyal but perhaps with a bit of a hard shell one needs to crack. Tendency to stubborness too - but then my Dad has that (Scorpio) and dd too (err... Aquarian I think - end of Jan) so maybe thats just genetic !

LaBoheme · 22/08/2007 21:03

Cancerians are very strong individuals but moody - remember they are moon-babies, usually very complex characters.

Geminis are always quick, you never see an overweight gemini, they talk quickly, think quickly and have to have 10 projects on the go tp keep them occupied. They also find it v hard to be faithful.

But it's the rising sign that really counts; and you have no way of determining that.

filthymindedvixen · 22/08/2007 21:07

We are also incapable of concentrating for lojng. Great communicators, sensitive, witty (well, most of them..)and indescisive.

zippitippitoes · 22/08/2007 21:09

interestingly on the guardian dating website there are far more gemini men than any other kind

filthymindedvixen · 22/08/2007 21:12

Male or female?

It's not that we're inherently unfaithful. Just that the rest of you are boring

filthymindedvixen · 22/08/2007 21:12

ah male. Well yes, but that's just men.

LaBoheme · 22/08/2007 21:14

it's mainly gemini men that have the staying faithful problem - think hard and you will never know one who hasn't had some kind of indiscretion....

Geminis obviously have 2 sides and are usually very intelligent so need to be kept mentally challenged at all times

zippitippitoes · 22/08/2007 21:29

yes im quite amazed every profile i click nearly is gemini..so either i mainly fancy geminis or they are all on there..or internet datign appeals to geminis
