Are any star signs mutually exclusive?

I was just looking at a calendar from my birth year (1983), and I noticed that I was born on a Tuesday. My girlfriend was born on a Monday of the same year. It struck me that the day on which we're born could be regarded with some superstition in a similiar way to the way star signs are. (and examples of this probably exist - I haven't researched it)

To me, star signs are a load of crap. Each one seems to represent a quality inherent in everyone - their genericity protects the system from falling apart. I wondered what it would take to cook up 7 different 'day signs' which would correspond to which day of the week you were born on.

I don't know a whole lot about what each star sign is supposed to represent. I'd like to know whether there are any two star signs that could not be applied to any one person. Could you look at a person's personality and say "there's no way that person could be a Gemini?"

And as a fun bonus task: post the day of the week you were born on, and we'll try to develop a system of our own. (I'm willing to bet that Ned and Dan were born on the same day)

Alas no. Therefore the theory is trash and you must all convert to Danedism, a higher way of life.

Born on a Monday. It figures.

Tuesday.

well, im new here but i was born on a monday.

you know the nursery rhyme about the birth days, right? here it is just in case:

Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child must work for a living,
But the child that's born on the Sabbath day
Is fair and wise and good and gay.

im a little confused as to how you plan to get a more specific analysis of personality by dividing people into 7 rather than 12 categories.

also, lets remember that astrology is based on the movements of the planets. days of the week are too, yes? maybe if you got down into years and seasons like astrology has sun, moon, rising, mars, venus etc. you ould get more specific. like looking at someone and saying 'well i know theryre a gemini but they act like a scorpio' and then you find out theyre a scorp rising and have two other planets in scorpio. you could say, well i know blah blah was born on a wednesday but hes SO gay youd think he was born on sunday. then you find out is was a wednesday in the winter of 1978 and you say 'ooooh!'

Many Ghanaians are named after the day of the week they were born on.

I've said it before, but yes, I think there's a lot to astrology, though part of me would rather that there wouldn't be. I have repeatedly accurately guessed different people's sun signs, and I think my record has been better than what chance would predict (though I haven't actually kept a record).

ok, rockist--guess our signs :-)

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 24 November 2003 02:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh fucking hell, I have "must work for a living"? Bollocks.

Just in case you couldn't tell, I was born on a Saturday. I think the person who wrote that nursery rhyme was seriously screwed by people who were born on Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and thus decided to get even with them via those little snide remarks. *rolls eyes*

I don't do it virtually. I need to observe people in person. A lot of it is based on noticing similar mannerism, ways of reacting to things, etc. Also, there are only a limited number of people whose signs I get a strong feeling about.

― Rockist Scientist (rockistscientist), Monday, 24 November 2003 02:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm a Saturday baby, too. It's a good thing I don't believe in crap like this. Lots of people have been able to guess my astrological sign, which is maybe kind of weird, but I still don't believe in crap like this.

― kirsten (kirsten), Monday, 24 November 2003 03:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought that "the child born on the 7th day is bonny and blythe and good and gay" which is me. hah.

Like mookieproof, I am full of grace.

― Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 24 November 2003 06:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Friday's child is loving and giving

Yes, yes, but do any of you men ever accept?

Xerxes and Libra obv.

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 24 November 2003 13:08 (twenty-two years ago)

woe is me.

and i'm a gemini.

the gemini thing seems more accurate than 'full of woe', which is really very rarely me. full of rage? yeah, sometimes. full of giggles? yep, got that. full of woe? not so much.
