Is it cold in here?:

Some of your aspirations tend to be pretty unrealistic. At times you are extroverted, affable, sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary and reserved. You have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others. You pride yourself on being an independent thinker and do not accept others' opinions without satisfactory proof. You prefer a certain amount of change and variety, and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations. At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing. Disciplined and controlled on the outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure on the inside.

If you throw enough darts you're bound to hit a bullseye. I'm a Sagittarius, let's see what it has to say about me.
"Spirit moving beyond the realm of the individual into the world at large; becoming a member of a wider society; experiences that lead to consciousness expansion, being receptive to new points of view, wisdom, enlightenment; using your talents for the benefit of the greater whole.
Freedom loving, idealist, unfettered by "small thinking"; inspiration; religion, philosophy, the law; awareness of your connections to the rest of the world; can be distant from others, afraid to give up freedom, reluctant to be tied down; on the other hand, aware of the value of the social contract; enthusiastic, gregarious, generous; loves abstract, theoretical ideas, sees the big picture, ignores the details; in love with an ideal; foreign travel, liberating experiences. "
First sentence: WTF? Second sentence: well this applies to everyone except the most serious recluses. Third: WTF? Fourth: everybody likes to think they are but they usually aren't, but will agree when told they are. Fifth: again, people like to think they have talents and that they help people, but rarely are both true. We like to be told that, though.
The next paragraph shows all the usual astrology tools. It throws out a lot of qualities so at least a few will seem "spot on." It uses flattery. "reluctant to be tied down; on the other hand, aware of the value of the social contract." There it throws out two opposing qualities. Everyone feels one sometimes and the other sometimes, so it fits every reader.
I read descriptions for other signs and they "fit" just as well.
Additionally, most people aren't even the sign that they think they are since the vernal equinox has shifted in the last few thousand years. Oddly I am still a Sag, though I went from the very end to the very beginning.

There's at least one "profile" that over 80% of people will think is a unique and accurate description of themselves.
unfringed:
I was born Gemini, almost on the "cusp" of Cancer...but both of those personality descriptions are soo far off.
I had a friend that was into mysticism and astrology and even though I've talked to a number of "psychics" and zodiac tests like that for fun I still haven't met one that can really put me into an accurate profile.
They stereotype too hard & that's what fucks them in the end.

Its really unessary to add those negative comments about it.

Sorry, I didn't mean to derail the thread, but this is something I feel strongly about. Astrology--never mind, I'll just let it go without further comment.
