Is there any basis for zodiac signs?

1. A girl in my high school could guess people's sign and was correct most of the time. I suppose she could have looked up and memorized everyone's birthdays (she transferred in so she had only known everyone a couple months), but it was weird.

2. My yoga teacher spent years studying in India and one of his teachers was a Vedic astrologer. People would come in with the date and location they were born, and the astrologer would read their horoscope. One day a guy comes in with his date and location of birth, the astrologer looks over the info, gets pissed, yells "wrong!" and kicks the guy out without saying why. After some digging he found out he was adopted and his parents never told him, so the date and location were both wrong. Second hand story so I don't know if it's true but I do trust the person who told it to me.

Vedic birth charts are very accurate and require your date, time of birth and place of birth. You get assigned a birth star(nakshatra) and a moon sign(rashi) based on the planetary alignment at the time of birth. Based on this the astrologer charts out predictions for your entire lifespan. One of the first things Hindu parents do when a child is born is get their birth chart created by a Vedic astrologer. Knowledge if birth star and moon sign are essential during various religious ceremonies.

I don't think there's any science to it, but I do fit the Capricorn description to a tee. I also think it's interesting that, in my adult life starting from college (which was more than 20 years ago), my closest friends have all been Pisces, Aries, and Cancer, with only a single exception. And I married an Aries.

A Cap and an Aries is unusual.

That doesn't mean I read my horoscope and believe it, because I don't.

I, like the person mentioned above, can often guess someone's horoscope sign just based on their personality traits. I've done it a few times with people and I haven't ever been wrong.

Awesome. That makes sense, because Pisces are one of the most psychic/intuitive signs. It's even more interesting and crazy accurate when you learn about rising signs, moon signs, different houses, etc.

Pisces PP here. That's neat. I never thought about it that way. I'd love to read more about it. I find this stuff interesting, even if I don't wholly believe in it.

You don't know much about this.

I was just thinking that. I'm a Libra who married a Virgo, which is also unusual.

Just noticed Hitler was an A-T cusper

So is Queen Elizabeth! And also my grandfather.

I am a Gemini with a Pisces moon married to a Scorpio.

OP, it's interesting that you get along with Scorpios. Gem-Scorp compatibility is very difficult. Geminis like to flit around and be free, and Scorpios are heavy and controlling. I think I get along with my DH because of my Pisces moon (Pisces and Scorpio are both water and therefore very compatible).

If you get along with Scorpios, my guess is that in your chart you also have water (maybe in your moon or ascendant). If this is true, it can also explain your connection to this Pisces guy.

Last thing - Pisces people are amazing and awesome BUT they can be quite the handful. Sometimes it's like they really only have one foot in the world. They can be very "out there" and they often have addition and commitment issues. Steve Jobs is a Pisces, as an example.

If you want a stable, solid guy, go for a Cancer

I'm a Gemini Sun, with a Libra Moon and Libra Rising. I married an Aries and we get along swimmingly. The sexual chemistry is lacking, but in all other areas, we work really, really well together.

However, without fail, whenever I used to have an instant, intense, passionate connection with someone, they were always an Aquarius.

I like astrology for fun. I take it with a grain of salt. But if you have your whole chart done and don't just go by the two sentence daily blurb in the paper, it's kind of crazy to see how accurate it the chart is. It's far more involved that reading your daily horoscope. Your horoscope cannot predict the future, but can give you some insight into who you are and why you do some of the things you do.

I don't take any of it seriously and I like to look at is more as entertainment. If I have someone new in my life it is interesting to find out what their zodiac sign is and see how we are supposed to get along. I am a gemini with a libra moon and I can only say the one group I don't get along with are Leo's. The egos and the entitlement issues are insane. I am also finding that Virgos are lazy. They talk alot of nonsense but don't back it up and horrible time management.

PP here. Yes to being a late bloomer, and yes to being stubborn (although it's less obstructionist and more that I will persevere).

I'm a Gemini Sun with a Pisces moon too. What do you guys think of dating an Aries-Taurus cusper? I've never had that combo before.

Tell me more. I'm very intrigued. I'm a female Aires married to a Leo. Our kids are Libra (female) and Sagitarius (male and female). Thanks!

I think it sounds promising but need full chart comparison to know for sure.
