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?

When I was in 6th form, we'd hang around in the common room every lunchtime, and one of the teachers would leave a weekly magazine there. Woman's Own or whatever. Anyway, there was a group of us and every week I'd read out everyone's horoscope for the following week. They all lapped it up and said how true it all was.

I never did tell them I was deliberately reading the one for the star sign after theirs. If someone said they were Aries, I'd read Taurus. Not one single person ever twigged.

😂

Yes. The entire birth chart.

Haha I was coming here to post exactly this!

I won't go near a Pisces man again addictions to drink and women.

I do find with my female friends I seem to make friends with the same signs over again and other signs I never have.

No idea what DH (or any ex partners) star sign is.

Really? But it’s not only about sun sign, there are 12 planets that affect us

There really, really aren’t.

There is one planet that affects us. We’re living on it.

When my ds was at uni he had a part time job in the local paper. Usually when the astrology was on hols she’d leave a couple of weeks worth to be getting on with. Well once they couldn’t find them so the office had to cobble together all 12 predictions. Don’t think any one noticed.

It's utter bollocks, so no.

Not in the slightest, I have never asked the question and have never been asked myself, do not believe in it

Soitis83 · 09/01/2025 19:23

No, because I'm a virgo but the complete opposite to what a virgo is

I've realized that I've been liking and attracting certain signs my whole life, so I'm starting to think that maybe it's not such a bs :)

Of course it's bs. You can't really believe that all the human beings on the planet are divided into 12 groups according to what part of the year they were born, and all the people in each group share the same traits?! It's honestly the stupidest thing I've ever heard Grin

I’ve always looked to the media cabinet of any man I’ve dated and used that as a barometer of whether he’s worth sticking it out with.

If it’s full of action flicks and books about football teams, then yuck! It’s time to move on. 💘

But classic literature and romantic comedies, well that is an indicator of a good man ❤

Bloom15 · 09/01/2025 19:34

My mum is really into it - apparently as I am a Gemini I match well to a Sagittarius (DH) and our DS fits well as a Libra.

I just nod and smile

Shubbypubby · 09/01/2025 20:26

It's no less believable than religion (I'm an atheist).

User990 · 09/01/2025 20:31

No couldn't care less

Coffeemmmmcoffee · 09/01/2025 20:33

I know my own sign but I don’t know what my husband is (obviously I know his date of birth and could look it up but without doing that I couldn’t tell you what he is)

We have been married 28 years and have three kids so it doesn’t appear to have held us back

No because I'm not 13 and don't read Jackie magazine any more.

This was my exact planned response!

LasagnaWithChips · 09/01/2025 20:59

Go to Amazon and order a book called “How to spot a bastard by his star sign”. I guarantee you will enjoy it. Obviously star signs are utter nonsense. But I wouldn’t date a Gemini, just in case like.

Pinkissmart · 09/01/2025 21:04

@Sparklfairy how come you won’t date a Scorpio ?

Pinkbonbon · 09/01/2025 21:04

No, but funnily enough I noticed when I was younger that if I dated toxic sorts they tended to be Capricorn or Sagittarius (born around december/jan, can't remeber which sign it was but I remember noticing lol).

How rude 😂😂😂

Been married over 20!years. Don't know what sign my husband is. That is how much it doesn't matter to me.

Same. I don’t know my kids star signs either. I know my own as it was a ‘thing’ when I was a teen and a couple of my friends were really into them.

What kind of oddball guy has a film cabinet of romcoms? Unless they belong to his ex.

Romcoms are awful too!
Like, pick a genre and do it well. Romance or comedy. Couldn't be either a guy that thought American romcoms were watchable.

Action films all the way!

A normal person would not pay attention to this stuff.
