I am curious if we will get an even distribution among the signs, or if there is something about Dopers that might skew the distribution.
I don’t believe in astrology.
Capricorns never do.
And Taurus takes the early lead!
I’m a typical Gemini - in most ways as far as things like intellectual curiosity and having something of a split personality - as examples. But since Cancer is my rising sign I tend to be moody and irritable. I also tend to be fairly gullible. But I can have emotional insights that surprise even me. Most of the time I am fairly oblivious though - my SO will attest to that.
I don’t actually believe in astrology but it was useful to me during my delayed socialization process for categorizing types of people. Being able to make gross distinctions based on 12 basic personality types was very helpful to me - even if my characterizations were rarely correct.
First Virgo vote! And as much as I don’t believe in stuff like this, I sure do have a touch of the OCD…
First Pisces. I’m not even sure what that means. A quick browse via Google suggests the common characteristics of a Pisces are pretty freakin’ dead on for me. Way to be uselessly vague, astrology.com!
I had my chart done when I was a teen, and I’m a quadruple Virgo.
I’m a triple Leo. (I had a friend who was into astrological birth control who did my chart for me. She assured me that I could ONLY give birth to Leos, Capricorns, and Scorpios. She was wrong.)
Edit: But maybe I’m not really a triple Leo. Still, it has a nice ring…
Some value of Scorpio, Oct 27th, born 3;47 am for what it is worth.
I’m a Sag, but surrounded by Scorpios - it’s bizarre, they’re all busy having their birthdays right now, both boyfriends and girlfriends.
Do you want the real sign or the one that’s 2000 years out of date? I’m an Aquarius born in March…
I’m a Cancer, so I’ve been told.:dubious:
Ditto. I was born when the Sun was in Aries, which means that the newspaper horoscope columns all think I’m a Taurus.
And where’s the Ophiochus option, while we’re at it?
I’m a Water Rabbit.
I’m an Aries but Xena keeps avoiding me.
Sagittarius - born December 1st (send cards!)
lol. Exactly. Tropically, I’m a Sag, which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense (except if you try and spin the “loves to travel and try new and exciting things” into a love of *intellectual *exploration, which many people have done.) Although the Archer archetype does ring true, especially as it pertains to being (overly) blunt and “shooting down” ideas, and as I get older, the thought of travelling more isn’t as horrid as it was when I was younger and wanted nothing more than to never leave my bedroom ever.
Sidereally, I’m a Scorpio which…well…let’s just say if it felt accurate, I wouldn’t tell you, because I like to have my secrets.
I’m a Double Gemini.
Ask me what that’s supposed to mean.
pfft. We’d get four answers. I’d rather ask a Virgo.
Good point. Further complicating the whole thing is that the astrological “houses” of the zodiac are of equal size, but the constellations (and the parts of them overlying the ecliptic) aren’t. The Sun is in Virgo for around 45 days, but only in Scorpio for about 7.
