Something Alucard said on another thread started me on a search for things astrological. I'm pretty skeptical, but this particular site is very different from the usual vague, glowing descriptions they give to different signs.
I'm still trying to make up my mind if I should go with the Scorpio or the Sagitarrius description - or try to blend them somehow since I'm right on the cusp.
This is a bold and daring site and not to be explored unless you're serious and fearless about how much you want to know about your astrological sign.
Here's a bit from the author of the site regarding feedback:
quote: You would be amazed how many complaints I have had about this section from people who have taken these pages seriously. These have mainly been mainly from fat Taureans and nasty Scorpios of course. Although most Taureans are clearly very fat indeed that does not necessarily mean than all Taureans are fat and I do know of a couple of exceptions myself. Similarly, someone, somewhere probably knows of a nice Scorpio or Aries. Please enjoy these stars readings in the spirit they are intended: Read em and weep!
I'll give you a sample - here's some of what the site says about Scorpios:
quote: The Scorpio character: The Scorpio will stop at nothing to fulfil their desires. They are power-hungry, domineering and ruthless. But apart from these good qualities the Scorpio can also be very jealous. If you are proud of an accomplishment they will take great pleasure in demoralising you and will undermine your success. Obsession with sex is of course their greatest interest. It's easy to fall in love with them but, like a praying mantis, they will destroy you when it's all over. Scorpios are hopeless as care assistants but they are excellent prostitutes, inquisitors and interrogators.
Well, the Libra and Capricorn descriptions fit my husband and me to a tee. (Not the sex paragraph, just the first paragraph, though the last sentence or two about the Capricorn was too, IIRC.)

I am both jealous and obsessed with sex, but I am not domineering, so I had better go and check my true Scorpio status.

Hey, I'm the biggest skeptic in the world, but astrology has been around since before organized religion as we know it, with its roots buried in Sumerian mythology.
I find it fascinating, especially the "ages" that are organized around the slight variation of the earth's rotation upon its axis. How did the Sumerians know about that pray tell?
Fascinating stuff indeed.
But sndrake and I are the Gemini Twins due to our nearly sequential registration numbers.
BTW, I am a scorpio, as is my father, grandfather, and son as well. You have been warned.

quote: The Leo Lover: A Leo will love you if you're sycophantic and servile. If you want to keep their attention you must praise them continually. They enjoy punishing you.
This must be the impetus that keeps me PUNishing everyone around me.

Punwit, My brother is a Leo. Sunny disposition, my a**. it is all about the power for the leonine group. He was a fresh-mouthed thing as a youth, and an Arizona politician now. So I like to read the TRUE side of the Leo. ha ha.

I married a Gemini, and my mom is a Gemini, which is so stereotypically Freudian, but not consciously on my part.

"Cancerians are like and emotional pressure cooker without a valve. They get so stressed-out that their normally shy behaviour can turn on others like a sudden earthquake. They worry to the point of paranoia and feel that everyone either uses them or ignores them. Most have an Oedipus complex. They also love to moan about everyone and enjoy gloating when someone's done better in life than you have. They employ cunning tricks to get what they want. Cancerians make useless psychologists but are excellent patients. They are better off not having a career."

quote: The Capricorn character: They are proud of the fact that they are the most opinionated and self-centred sign of the zodiac. And it's true because they are always right. Cruel Capricorn puts ambition ahead of personal relationships which can be jettisoned as needed. Bluntness is their middle name. They may sound interesting people but in reality they are old-fashioned and tiresome. They will live to a ripe old age just to spite everyone. Capricorns are hopeless comedians but make excellent undertakers, journalists and butchers.
Yup. That's me. However, my sexual appetite is not voracious, but according to my husband my affections are stingy and criticism generous.
quote: The Libra character: Libra has the symbol of the scales because this is the sign of the unbalanced individual. Things can never be perfect for as soon as the scales are even something comes along to upset the balance once again. To compensate for this insecurity Libran's are obsessed with the desire to be loved, admired and wanted. They are empty vessels in need of continual emotional replenishment. Their superficial easy going manner betrays a lack of strength and a deep set vanity. They also love to spend money. They are generally unemployable.
That's my husband. However, if he takes a shower I consider myself lucky, so again, for him, the Lover section is way off.
I had my husband read these, too. He agrees with my analysis, though, since I'm never wrong, why would he? Posts: 9871 | Registered: Aug 2001

quote: The Aries character: Aries are at their worst during adolescence and are the 'young offender' of the zodiac. They are a fire sign and their love of this element may tempt them to burn down famous buildings or start wars. Once they've matured it's important to allow them to run the show. If they are thwarted in any way they'll do much more than stamp their feet. They may try to fight or humiliate those who interfere with their megalomaniac plans. They make terrible social workers but excellent soldiers, politicians and tax inspectors..
The Aries Lover: Aries love anything connected with domination and pain. Sadism is their way of saying 'I love you'.
Hmmm... maybe that's why Worf was always my favorite Star Trek character.... <grin>

I can't believe they didn't take the opportunity to list George Bush (non-W) as a Gemini.
I am a bit narcissistic, though no one seems to agree that I've "elevated it to an artform". Is the punctuality thing true? I hate when others are late. I guess I was late everyday to my student tutoring thing this year.
