I'm just saying that the star sign thingie is all a big joke. Elaborate, but still a joke. Crinutza, as long as you don't see your birth chart untill you're old enough for it to not matter anymore, the birth chart might be right because it will have influenced you to become what it predicted. Tomata cu scufita, thanks for the pics! Cristina, Thank you for the good read.

Me, I don't fancy the "european horoscope", star signs and everything, because they are too generic. Although, I have to admit that some traits I do have of my Cancer fellow. Yet, a birth chart is a whole different thing and that could be somewhat enlightening, if you are willing to accept it expresses a possibility, a tendency, not 100% accuracy.

Pe langa ca am uitat numele compozitorului aluia, tocmai mi-am amintit ca mai e ceva ce mi-ai spus si am uitat. Asta pentru ca-mi tot storc creierii incercand sa-mi dau seama cum se poate vorbi cu tine in timp real. :) E rau cand bei.

That being said, I`ll understand your animosity towards horoscopes when their body count becomes slightly higher.

He thus sent identical horoscopes to thousands of people, out of which 94% appreciated what they received as being very precise. Cherry on top: the horoscope sent was that of a serial killer.

Our minds and bodies evolve differently because our mothers eat different stuff before we are born, like mothers who are pregnant during summer and spring enjoy the best times with healthy food. The influence of planets might be felt by our brain. Also, our characters can be influenced by drugs (heavy or light) or diseases. Our behavior depends on how the situations we make in every day life, the events that occur. There are so damn many factors, that people just call it magic/astrology. And thing is this accident, influences or events repeat themselves from time to time, from area to area. It's normal. Hey, I've heard people calling some PHP code voodoo, just for the fact it was too big for them to understand :). Heh, my rant. There is a tiny truth in those zodiacal signs.
