Leo, the lion, I'm influenced by the Deep Purple song "Maybe I'm A Leo." As for most astrology, I"m a tad bit skeptical and think any of the horoscopes could apply to you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haP7Ys9ocTk

The basic assumption upon which astrology is based is also false. Just ask Copernicus, we are not the center of the universe...

Im not Gemini but listened to the song Gemini by Slayer, quite original and actively

I'm Aries (Pisces ascendant to be sharply exact).

Yup, you are so right ... still when you ask someone to describe himself he will say something like this
"I'm a LEO, I like music a lot, I think I was born for ruling(I rule stupidity)."

"Astrology is a primitive belief system made into elaborate pseudo-science. It arrogantly makes human the focal point in the universe.
It was developed in the second century by the philosopher Claudius Ptolemaeus and has not moved on since despite the discovery of new planets and despite the shift in the Earth rotation axis that has thrown Ptolemy's zodiac out by 23 degrees" This is an extract from The Enemies of Reason - Slaves to Superstition
It's far more interesting than only talking about Astrology...Also dowsing, spiritualism(talking to the dead)...
I strongly recommend it.

Sagittarius. I don't follow astrology. I figure that very general predictions are useless and the few times I've checked them they haven't predicted with any accuracy.

Libra, what is the proof astrology is (or perhaps as it is vulgarized and presented for the vulgum pecus) an absolute nonsense: libras are normally very calm, sweet, diplomatic persons.... I am the exact oposite ^^

Astrology is garbage.

The only reason why people hang on to astrology is because it gives them a certain sense of security for an uncertain future.

Although i agree with most of what u guys said here, i cant help but notice that a lot of stuff they "say" about specific horoscopes is right! Obviously not everything is, but at least some it is. I mean, that cant just be just coincidence. At least thats what i believe. Most horoscopes arent even similar, so there is no chance to "just shoot in the dark and hope it hits".

Just giving arguments to "how astrology might not be as useless and pointless as people say". And trust me, im quite uninterested with these kinds of topics as well.

Its true that they get a lot of things right. I'm Gemini and they absolutely got my personality right, so where does that come from?
They must be doing something right.

I wonder myself too. Maybe statistic? They pick like 10000 guys form each horoscope, study their personality and generalize it? Or maybe that was done centuries ago and statistic just remains the same? I have no idea O.o

I'm Sagittarius. But I don't give much attention to astrology...

That poll sucks... it doesn't have place for Sagittarius, and that one rocks harder than most of the others!

Capricorn, I'm born on the same day as Presley and Bowie, that's gotta say something.

It has limited number of choices. Hence why i put one for "Others". Might wanna know things better before ranting.

Hey man, I know exactly why Sagittarius isn't there, you just couldn't notice I wasn't serious.

I just don't like to put smiles on the posts. I guess I need to put a big smile so people get the sarcasm. ( )

I'm a Gemini, but c'mon guys you don't really believe in astrology right?

Exactly - some people claim that astrology is bunk and has nothing to do with musical taste - but is it mere coincidence that the coolest and most fucken Metal people happen to be Sagittarius?!

BTW, I voted 'other'. Sagittarius, in case anyone was wondering..!

I'd say the chances of you having the same astrological sign given you were born in the same day are quite...hm...how should i put it....good?

If horoscopes influenced music tastes, me and Janne (my far-away-almost-twin brother) would listen to the same music... but we don't. Hmm... and I'm Leo. Sort of.

Well, rather belated good wishes to you too then, sir!

Sagittarius is also the ninth sign.. and the number 9 has a lot of significance in various ways, associated with the occult and stuff. Also it's one of the few 'fire' signs. Yes, it all sounds very Metal! We win.

Of course, why not?

Simply, I've born on the day when these horoscope signs change. I've seen different variations of the time when Leo is replacing Cancer - 22nd of July, 23rd of July, 24th of July. So, since I've born on 23rd of July, I certainly don't have all qualities a typical Leo has but I have some of Cancer's. So... I'm constantly being in contradiction to myself. Sometimes I feel completely fake because I always look at things from two different sides and, once I have explained only one of them, I don't have the chance to say that I can understand the other side too. Then the person I'm talking with thinks I'm thinking like that and he/she is free to start a fight with me because of my point of view or agrees to it so much that I kinda feel stupid because I don't fully agree with it.

I'm not even sure this thing I wrote is even readable or understandable, haha.

So you were born 'on the cusp', so to speak? It's interesting that you identify with both signs in certain ways, and yes, it was understandable.

Ultimately, I think the whole star sign thing is just a bit of fun anyway and not to be taken literally. (Although people who are Sagittarius genuinely are uber Metal, of course! )

Yes, it all sounds very Metal! We win.

Blah blah blah

Pisces may not sound that metal, with all their emotions, sensibility and stuff, but they win ALL THE WAY, I tell you! Steve Harris, Jaz Coleman, Warrel Dane, John Shaffer... Stop it! But yeah, I share my birthday with Timo Kotipelto... : and our almighty destroyah

Funny side note, I even have a song about my birthday... It's 'The Ides Of March' by Iron Maiden (who else). The Ides (mid-month) of march is the day Julius Caesar was murdered. That's pretty metal too, finally
