Obviously the day to day 'mystic meg' style predictions are rubbish.

BUT is there anything to it?

What do we think about the general physical and character traits attributable to zodiac signs? How many of us have done a compatabily test?


I will stick my neck out and say that I do believe there is an element of stereotyping that can be done.


For example: Cancerians often have moon faces; Librans like balance and calm and are crap at making decisions, Leos have big hair; Virgos are pernickety buggers.


Get on it.......

Load of arse


And I can say that as I'm a Libran and like calm and balance.


Only when I tell people I'm a Libran do they say "ooh you can tell" - before I tell people it's normally about 7 guesses.


Big pile of arsey woo


12 types of personality combination????


* bites fist *

i am prepared to believe that your earliest experiences can have some impact on who you are later in life, and that the time of year at which you are born may have some impact on what your first experiences are


i am also prepared to accept that how old you are (relative to those in the same school year) when you start school can have some impact on how you are at that stage - given that the oldest children could be a year (or may be a year less a day) older than the youngest in the same year. by way of example ive heard the more professional sportsman are born the first half of the traditional school year - and as such on average are bigger and stronger than those in the second half and therefore are probably as a group better when they first play sport and therefore enjoy it more, with this early influence having a longer impact


so i am prepared to accept that when grouped together on aggregate there may be some charactertics that may be more likely or more prominent in people born at different stages of the year, however i think that the differences would be small and subject to many exceptions


is that astrology? probably not

Saw a documentary on this years ago, and those folks who invented it according to the position of the stars in the sky at that time - well basically the stars positioning has changed since then meaning - ummm - there's actually fourteen star signs. But two got lost when the stars moved position.


Having said that I did get someone to cut out the names of the star signs from the descriptions, and I do have all the Taurean characteristics. And I am a Taurean!


Bollox tho, really.

Faith isn't about fact, it's about ethics, belief and a way of life.


Astrology purports to be a scientific method of determining various things (I'm not sure exactly what, think it goes beyond just personalities?). So no faith is required - either you think the method is sound or you don't.

    • The Peckham Rye Park heron was eyeing up two quite large cootlets on Sunday. Their parents were swimming around them and presumably trying to protect them. We couldn't understand why the coots  didn't swim off, but as they were under a large tree branch, maybe the heron would have been better able to catch one of the chicks in open water. It eventually gave up and flew off. Crikey they have vicious pointy beaks, herons! Is it for spearing fish?
    • The OP asked for advice from people on the internet. People who replied were trying to be helpful.  
    • Citizens Advice Bureau may be able to help, as they have connections with various relevant people/organisations. Your GP surgery may have access to a "social prescriber" who can similarly help.  I was referred to the  one attached to my GP surgery when I was very stressed with external issues. There used to be a community police officer in every neighbourhood, and if they still exist, I would say they should be your first port of call. I'm so sorry. It is so stressful living with nasty neighbours, although I agree finding out that other neighbours have also had issues with them at least makes you feel that it is not just you they are targeting. As regards the apparently poisoned plants and trees, if you know someone who is a member of the RHS (Royal Horticultural Society), they have access to a free advice service, who I'm sure could help pinpoint the likely cause of death. Unfortunately I didn't renew my membership this year, otherwise I would have offered to help.
