Is a guy’s zodiac sign important to you?

Hey ! I don't really believe in compatibility or astrology in general and never ask guys about their zodiac signs, but I'm starting to notice that something matches the description of the signs. What about you? Is it important to you?

I love a bit of astrology and even studied it quite seriously at one point and can do natal charts and synastry readings. However I wouldn't pay too much attention to star signs in terms of dating. The truth is the sun sign is just a small part of a persons chart and there is so many other things to look at and consider, the sun sign basically won't tell you anything important so please just don't worry about it. Also remember that while astrology like all forms of divination can be brilliant fun and at times a useful way of looking at things it really shouldn't have a major influence on what you do in life. Consider it entertainment more than serious advice and never spend a lot of money on it!

Thank you ! No, I don’t take it serious, and never spent money on that, I just have friend, she’s an astrologer, and she talks about it much 🤪 She made natal cart for me , I only remember that my rising sign is Scorpio, the moon is Gemini , Venus is libra and sun is Virgo. Crazy combo, haha

My brother has had 2 wives. Both with the same star sign. Both psychos. Before people say it's my brother. I was friends with one before they even met. Definitely their personalities.

So everyone with that particular star sign is a psycho?

ItGhoul · 08/01/2025 14:27

No, because it's a pile of meaningless made-up bullshit.

I don't actually know what my DP's star sign is, and we've been together almost 22 years. I know when his birthday is (obviously!) so I suppose I could look up his star sign but it's never occurred to me.

ellibelly7 · 08/01/2025 14:27

@Mili4 Haha yeah that is a crazy combo! Well I'm sure your friend will be happy to do a synastry chart for you when you meet the right guy!

What the billions of people who have that star sign and are not, in fact 'psychos'?

It scares me how little understanding people have of what constitutes statistical proof/evidence.

No. There are more than twelve types of people in this world.
Have you ever met someone with the same birthday as you? Yep. They didn't seem like your lost twin, or being very similar to you in personality or outlook? No. They didn't.

Well, that shows how significant astrology is.

There was a girl in my life who was born on the same day as me and in the same year, a completely different person.

Do you say the same about people who believe in God? I don't believe people who say 'Oh I've had a shit day today because Mercury is in retrograde' or whatever, but I don't see the harm in the OP.

Yes, because religion and/or belief in some higher power is ridiculous too.

I don't really believe in them now but I did notice (in the past when I was more interested) that people did seem to have certain traits aligned with their sign. I think I probably just focused on the traits that did align while ignoring the ones I didn’t agree with. I can’t deny though that Scorpios can have stings in their tails, Virgos can be very tidy and efficient and Leos can be confident, but others can also have those traits.

I lost interest in star signs years ago and don’t even know what my own kids are.

There are seven planets in our solar system besides Earth (the Moon is not a planet). What are the other five planets that affect our characters and our lives here on Earth? Some of the nine dwarf planets?

(The nearest known exoplanet to our solar system is Proxima Centauri b, which orbits the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, our nearest star after the Sun. Proxima Centauri is not visible to us without a decent telescope, and also you need to be in or nearly in the southern hemisphere.)

Obsessive propaganda of astrology online, in social networks, that’s the problem, I know some ppl who can reject a good person because of his sign , it’s crazy

Starlight1984 · 08/01/2025 14:52

I don't even know what star sign DH is? Going to google it now and make sure we're compatible before taking this relationship any further...

LouisvilleSlugger · 08/01/2025 14:56

No. It’s bollocks.

I used to have someone in my team. A man in his early 50s. He’d often say things like ‘I’m a typical Scorpio!’ which I thought was so very peculiar coming from an adult.

I don’t even know what star signs my kids are.

Tumbleebew · 08/01/2025 15:01

Mili4 · 08/01/2025 13:33

Well , I came to the conclusion that I really like only 3 signs: Scorpio, Taurus and Capricorn. I don’t know why, maybe it has nothing to do with astrology , maybe just a coincidence

Based off this I’m guessing you’re Cancerian?

Yes, but the obvious conclusion here is that your brother chooses to marry 'psychos', not that all Librans are mad, surely.

No. It’s total bollocks.

First answer nails it.

Findwen · 08/01/2025 15:36

I believe in it. I mean who wouldn't ? Of course the relative location of giant balls of gas when I was born will deeply affect my decision making processes, you would be foolish to think otherwise.

The OPs friend also includes the relative location of giant rocks too, nice to be inclusive.

Maddy70 · 08/01/2025 15:42

No it's utter bollocks. Are you saying that for example. Every Aries guy is the man for you?

IfUCantDance · 08/01/2025 13:30

It frightens me that people who believe in this shit are allowed to vote.

Lol, so who should be allowed to vote ?
What about people who are religious?

Do you think only people with no beliefs should be voting ?

There are many phenomena in life which are inexplicable by “ science” you know.

peachystormy · 08/01/2025 15:52

Yes - absolutely. I won't go near a Taurus my perfect sign for comparability is Libra ♎️

Wow that is crazy but I’d see it as him having a lucky escape if someone was that invested and obsessed.

Homeopathic remedies are helluva drug! I love getting high on water that remembers molecules of substances.

4 guys who cheated on me were all Pisces... not compatible with me at all.
