Do you belive this kinda stuff?

[G Rambo34]

so just checking out the zodiac signs today. im one sign and this girl is another. and together every website says that we are not meant to be. how much of this **** do you belive? what happened to opposites attracting? does this have any truth to it?

U Serious?

At first it might not mean anything but I think in the long run it will pan out. So for example if you are a leo and you are a taurus you can still fall in love, get married but things will end up bad at the end (example my parents who are leo and taurus and they fought every week) and not surprisingly they are not compatible.

I'm superstitious and I believe the signs do have to do with people's behavior and how a leo or a taurus behave and their attributes for example, but I don't believe those generalized horoscopes which tell you what is going to happen in a month. If I ever were crazy enough to propose to a woman the thought of what sign she is would definitely make me think about it. Everyone has like 3 compatible signs. If she ended up being one of the signs that are not compatible with me I might have thoughts about it. But at the end love makes you forget everything and I would probably forget about all that.

I'd have to slightly disagree with Joe...

It only makes a difference if you believe it does.

That actually sounds a lot like how flirting works: you just have to know that you're good at it,relax, and hey presto, you're good at it.

Zodiac signs, along with most mysticism, homeopathic medicine, and psychic mind readers, work through the placebo effect. This is a mental effect where your beliefs cause your body (or your behavior) to change -- and it's a well-researched scientific phenomenon.

So, to sum up: if I were you, I wouldn't give it a second thought, because then you won't need to.

Some info, if you're interested:

An article about it in a scientific journal

listen its good to sell this astrology,palmistry,and relationship stuff but its just information that is neither true nor invalid.

forget about comparing signs,the way your thinking isnt afc its stupid. if you get along fine then stay together.

no offense.

 

[SinJester]

I can't believe people believe this stuff... no offense. It is just FICTION made to SELL. You can choose to believe horoscopes if you want to, you can also choose to believe you have no control over your own life if you want to. Its your choice.

But seriously how can the month you are born have such a huge effect on your life? More than your DNA and the enviroment you were raised in AND common to everyone else who was born in that month?

do you also believe that witchcraft and black magic is fake? i'm superstitious and I tend to think that there is more to this world than meets the eye. We as humans don't fully understand everything in our universe just yet. Things in the relm of the spiritual have not yet been fully deciphered by science, not yet anyway. We shouldn't call things fake which we haven't yet written mathematical formulas for. The spiritual and physical are 2 very different things.

Yes I do believe witchcraft and black magic is fake. This doesn't not meant I discount the spritual, I simply have a different understand, expectation and belief of it compared to others. I haven't come to the conclusion that there is no soul, or no god, but I am still opened minded that there might not be either. Horoscopes really don't seem beliveable to me. Where do they learn how to desipher all these signs? To believe in them is to admit that some 'higher power' or 'the planets' control our lives. I simply do not buy into such nonsese.

I have my opinions, and despite my tone I respect yours.

Witchcraft and black magic?

You guys can't be for real.

There is absolutely no empirical evidence for any of this nonsense.

As for astrology; It's based off the alignment of planets and stars. Please explain how that could in anyway effect my emotions and relationships.

 

[GaryUranga]

planets alignign seal your destiny in eternity, for example Im a taurus and when I grow up I wanna be a bullfighter.

 

[Munchking]

I have a simple question... how do you know that the starts, etc, seal your destiny? Other than some cooky webpage telling you so, or one single example?

There is no evidence that any of this stuff has a real effect. What does have an effect is the Placebo Effect. See my previous post here.
