what's your sign? (the poll)

I learned my astrological sign early on from reading my horoscope in the daily newspaper. It was printed on the same page as the comic strips. I may have divulged it on some earlier thread, but I think I'll not publicize it this time, but vote anonymously. Anyone determined to know could still figure it out from tracking down my birthday thread.

libra, surely this was clear from my posting

legit

Aquarius but from a Vedic perspective, Capricorn is my sun sign and my lunar sign AND my rising sign. The overlap of ascendant, sun and moon indicates an 'integration of thoughts, desires, and action' (can't remember the source, but i wrote this down from somewhere). voted Capricorn. fuck Saturn.

you can tell i'm a virgo by my posts, which i invariably spend anywhere from 5-60 minutes writing, re-writing, and re-re-writing to within an inch of their life. i re-wrote the previous sentence three times before posting this i'm not kidding

blubbering spaced out Pisces who feels everything way too hard.

I’m a cusp Libra, shows up here as Virgo but most calendars show it as Libra. So I’ll vote how I’ve always identified, as a Libra. But being a Libra, I know there are multiple valid perspectives on what sign I am.

a trans libra is a libra

lol for sure

Xp - guessing most common ilxor signs are Gemini, Libra and Scorpio

I am a Leo but these dates have me as a a Cancer, I want my money back

Libras really know how to get shit done, ime

I am a Pisces and honestly, it freaks me how much I identify with everything said about my star sign. I will never need write an autobiography, just look at the Pisces memes on Instagram and you’ll be able to work it out from there.

Capricorn, which I gather makes me an irredeemable monster. It's a living.

Aquarius, but leaning hard on the Pisces cusp.

My grandfather used astrology for one of its finest purposes: getting the Jehovah’s Witnesses who’d latched onto my grandmother to fuck all the way off when he told them he was a Leo and was going to become an astrologer. This cunning plan worked!

I'm kind of the anti-Leo tbh

Born on the same date as my fellow Virgos, Charlie Parker, Michael Jackson and... er ... Lenny Henry.

cancer sun and moon. sagittarius rising. i have my chart on hand

I'm Sagi, and I'm quite Sagi

Very Libra here

First Aries to post in this thread

yeah when i found out i was a cancer in my 20s by reading "free will astrology" in the alt weekly, everything i read about my sign was just like... uhhhhh yeah.. no wonder i cry so much.

i'm a cancer who had difficulty crying for many years because when i was a kid i was made fun of for being a crybaby. thankfully estrogen has restored the balance

I'm a libra, I only cry at injustice

I am a pisces but I have no idea what that means

Aquarius with Virgo rising, which all fits. I have a disproportionately high number of Aquarius and Gemini friends, and my partner is a Gemini.

I’m a fukin Virgo, of course

I “believe” in astrology, insofar as I think it’s fun to pretend that it’s true, and it’s fun when it turns out correctly

It kind of blows my mind that the world can tolerate any Virgos in the public eye. I was reading earlier about how Everyone Hates Moby. And I thought “he’s so Virgo coded. I bet he’s a Virgo.” He is. Sept 11.

Then I was gonna post about some manner of solidarity toward his brand of insufferability, but I remembered the creepy shit, and decided “no solidarity for Moby”. Then I thought about Natalie Portman. “Also totally insufferable.” I didn’t have to google her, I already knew she was also a fukin Virgo

It doesn’t matter if we’re insufferable child actors (Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Brad Renfro, Devon Sawa) or overachieving dynamos who still seem to be getting it wrong somehow (Beyoncé)

I literally share my birthday with goddam Buddy Holly and Christie Hynde. Lol! Chrissie Hynde!! A music teacher cosplaying as a punk rocker!

If your child is a Virgo tell them to pursue office jobs.

Libra. I sure don't feel balanced.

They already do encourage us to have office jobs -- they claim we are fastidious with detail and enjoy boring work. Wrong!
I am a cusp Virgo and I approve this message

Other than my devastating charisma, sexual and otherwise, I have, like, nothing in common with Scorpis.

*Scorpios even

omg Alfred OFC you’re a Scorpio. I love that for you

Yeah maybe “office job” is too harsh for Virgos. The happiest I ever was in a job was tarping-strapping lumber trucks. I’ve always said of Virgos that we’re “an ideal second-in-command” and I believe it to be true, 100%. Not actually tidy or organized but everything gets done and gets done well

yes ofc alfred is a scorpio

lol thanks, guys? I'm not even sure what it means to be a Scorpio.

i am close with a virgo-libra cusp. like born a few hours before libra. he does the most delicate arrangements of household objects i've ever seen. dishes drying in the rack are a work of art.

xp it means you're sexaaayyyy

i wonder if cancers tend to be slobs and dirtbags? i am a slob and a dirtbag. maybe i can blame it on my sign.

Cancers are absolutely slobs and dirtbags (but with hearts of gold). One of the best signs for sure

I started writing a “the signs in bed” thing (I prob won’t post it) but I just realized that the men in my life who’d be defined as “the ones who got away” (that is, I would’ve married them but they chose someone else) were both Capricorns

I’m not sexually compatible with Scorpios. Like it’s high heels and makeup and lingerie version of sexy. “Isn’t this so sexy?” says the Scorpio, performing sexiness. Sweetie, I think Einstein is sexy. I think baked bread is sexy. I think being treated badly is sexy. Not… this

― jmm

lol

xps :). i like my sign and i'm glad you do too!

my first big relationship was with a capricorn. definitely "one who got away" vibes with him. i don't think i ever had him tbh.

The main way astrology appears in my life is everyone's toxic exes appear to be capricorns, so I try to stay quiet and not let anyone know I too carry the mark of the beast.

my partner now made me this little piece of cancer-related art. he spent hours embossing the back side of an aluminum soda can to make a little crab surrounded by waves. one of my prized possessions.

xp haha daniel_rf you have capricorn vibes for sure! not a bad thing at all in my book. i tend to be impressed by capricorns.

i am close with a virgo-libra cusp. like born a few hours before libra. he does the most delicate arrangements of household objects i've ever seen. dishes drying in the rack are a work of art.

lol that’s funny because I am also Libra/Virgo cusp and am FAMOUS in my household for astounding feats of dish-drying architecture. Detail + balance?

Virgos enjoy accomplishing tasks, and Librans enjoy cleaning up the place, so it makes sense that a late-September would practice ikebana with the washing up

Xp mookie — the depression could be related to having yr Sun in the 12th house… that’s a very “don’t want to leave the house for long periods of time / shut out the cold cruel real world” placement

I didn't know Virgos were considered especially kind! My dad is super duper kind but I sort of see his kindness in opposition to/tension with his Virgo-ness. And the absolute meanest person I have ever known was a capital V Virgo.

Just saw this. sarahell, you seem to know a lot about this, did you say what sign you're in? I'm interested

My father is a Libra and my mother a Capricorn, but my goddaughter, younger closest sister and best friend are all Virgos. They are my favorite people. I'm a Gemini, as are many of my other friends. My Virgo college friend says he is surrounded by Geminis

the depression could be related to having yr Sun in the 12th house

well fuck

I don't care sarahell if you're laughing about all of this, but people reach into their subconscious to think about their identity and motivations and desires when they contemplate this stuff, which is worthy in itself

i dont believe in this necessarily but i am an aquarius and i am SUCH an aquarius lol

I didn't know Virgos were considered especially kind!

It's hidden behind their tendencies toward excessive constructive criticism and penetrating analysis, which makes everyone uncomfortable and angry at them

I literally just spent twenty-five minutes listening to a (Cancer) friend sob over the phone at me about her problems at work, let her finish, then said "1. get a tissue and wipe your face and nose," and followed up with an extremely clinical to-do list of how her problems were to be solved

I am not laughing? Why I have spent so much time learning about astrology, I still don’t completely understand tbh … it’s probably a similar escapist impulse as people getting really into sports trivia or D&D?

I have posted about my sign/chart in other threads … but for your convenience— Scorpio sun / Leo Moon / Aries rising

and followed up with an extremely clinical to-do list of how her problems were to be solved

one of the failures of my marriage was indeed me suggesting solutions rather than simply being comforting

(tbf she was a virgo too, so)

Took me far longer than it should have to learn to just sit and listen while being complained at.

Aries hive where u at?
Hitler was also an Aries iirc

Taurus cusp tho really

From elemental astrology dot com:

April 20th is a date when the Sun moves from the sign of Aries to the sign of Taurus, and it can best be described as a date when physical love is born.

Hm!

never has a lede been more buried

Sorry sarahell, I really thought you were mocking because you always seem so super rational in the other posts of yours I've read here

My friends are all into astrology I think as a diversion, and they (and I) kind of believe it on an abstract level because it tells them something about themselves - which is the point of it

Tarot is an even more complicated and esoteric world, and there is a lot more from it to be learned about yourself and loved ones - if you are willing to ignore the superstitions and delve into the archetypes and how they might relate to you.

It is very fun if you are committed to taking it lightly

they (and I) kind of believe it on an abstract level because it tells them something about themselves - which is the point of it

I'm pretty much like that with reading the runestones... I know they *can't* tell me the future but can possibly nudge me in the right direction

I had a very dear old friend who I don't see that often offer to read me tarot in 2015 while we were drinking red wine, and he did so, and the results were so shocking in their prescience (in that weird way that tarot readings can seem prescient), that it instilled in me a deep fear of those cards and I have adamantly refused readings from over-eager seers since then

I had an older strange roommate dude who was seriously into tarot and I had a similar experience where the reading was just spot-on with where I was at that stage in life (mid-20s)... it was uncanny. But it didn't freak me out and I would do it again if it was someone who seemed to really know the cards.. it's all in the interpretation I guess

yeah my first tarot reading was also kinda shocking! it does seem really fun and like something i could get into.

I had a very dear old friend who I don't see that often offer to read me tarot in 2015 while we were drinking red wine

this is like a life goal for me (minus the wine haha).

I have so many thoughts about tarot

I don't recommend you have 'seers' read tarot for you, just friends

I would think a stranger would be less apt to lean into what they know about you or your life, no?

When I read tarot for my friends, I ask them to think about a burning question but don’t ask them to tell me what it is. (I think most tarot readers want to know the question beforehand.) I try not to lean into their life

I just then pick a spread that they are comfortable with, often the Celtic Cross, and have them cut the cards with a moment of intention and lay them face down in the order of the spread that we’ve decided on.

I'm no expert on runestones but a common 3-stone setup (l-r) is: 1) a problem, worry or question in your life 2) A suggested suitable course of action 3) the possible outcome if you follow that course of action

sometimes the stones are bad or bummer negative but that doesn't mean you have something to keep you up at night.. it's kinda like the Magic 8-Ball 'Ask Me Later' pane

In the magazines and newspapers there used to be a sign called Moon Children. I guess because people were uncomfortable with the word Cancer.

In German, cancer is KREBS.

German conflate the animal and the disease (both krebs); Portuguese is smarter, distinguishing between the animal (caranguejo) and the disease (cancro).

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

my team won!

we did it!!

Genuinely wasn't expecting to come in second.

I looked up the most common signs and Virgo is at the top. I feel like sags are common maybe because our parents all smashed on Valentine’s Day.

I missed this but ♊️

and many virgos are the product of New Years lovin'

Team Scoprio! We're number three!

Scorpio even

So the results generally follow the school year system, Virgo’s being oldest kids in the year (and most represented here), then Scorpio’s and Sag’s not long after that etc. Guessing there are more Libras but they lurk rather than post or vote.

Virgos are just filled with feelings and opinions that they cannot express usefully in conversation and they need to post things online as an outlet. Speaking for myself ofc

^^big yep

Idk about “the school year system” … it was different when and where I grew up … the cut off was December 1 … so I was the youngest most of the time.

Xp - guessing most common ilxor signs are Gemini, Libra and Scorpio

I didn’t factor in the diligence of Virgos … i.e. most likely to actually vote as opposed to miss the deadline or miss the thread until results were in.

refuse to participate in this poll which labels me as a cancer when I am absolutely a leo

The V-day “joke” I see is that one should refrain or practice safe sex because otherwise babby would be formed as Scorpio.

Also xmas and NYE fornication tend to result in Libras.

I have 2 second cousins who are sisters, born on the same day in late August… their mom really enjoyed American Thanksgiving.

I mean the turkey baster was right there

My aunt absolutely was conceived during this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1940_Armistice_Day_Blizzard - her birthday was 13 August.

Virgo’s being oldest kids in the year (and most represented here), then Scorpio’s and Sag’s not long after that

I'm one of those signs, but I was always the youngest kid in my class by a good margin. My district allowed kids who turned six within the first few months of a school year to enroll in first grade at age five, but it was optional for them and most parents chose to wait instead.

dang this explains so much about this place smh

Missed the poll, but I'll add my Sagittariusness to the tally to make it an even match with the Virgos.

I'm definitely not a deep astrology head, but any time I look up Sagittarius characteristics to see how well they jibe with my life, it's always like I'm looking at a completely different person. I've got the optimism thing, but everything else is foreign. Possibly because it's all a load of shit. Possibly because I'm not self-reflective enough to see how any of the traits apply. Possibly because I need to get a full-ass astrological workup based on the precise minute of my birth and the time zones and that just seems like more information than I want to deal with.
