Interesting Points about Zodiac Signs

First let me state that I am a Christian and fully believe that God created and designed everything in this world. Knowing that, I believe He left certain truths and knowledge here on earth so that we humans could obtain it for the greater good.

One example would be that of zodiac signs. More than anything, I believe that they are a way that man has organized some of God’s patterns of humans. They didn’t do it over night either. Some of the ancient cultures studied human patterns as much as we do now days. As a result we get zodiacs.

I also want to say, that do not, nor will I ever check my horoscope on a regular basis. To me zodiac signs are not about horoscopes, but a way of describing personalities based on when someone’s life began. Similar to old wives’ tales about which day of the week you were born or in which season. Only zodiac signs go a step further, because they have been tried or tested for generations.

Did you know that in all actuality your sign is based on conception rather than birth. So maybe some of you have always disputed what your sign says about you, like my friend who was born in the Aries sign but barely has any characteristics of an Aries. Truth be told she was born a month premature and is actually a Taurus. Ahh that explains some things, doesn’t it? So if you were born significantly early or late, the sign you always claimed as yours, might not actually be. Try asking your mom what your true birth date was supposed to be, in order to determine your true sign. After all, not everyone is like me and born on their exact due date.

Some people even say that zodiacs work because they are based on generalities. I very much disagree, there is nothing general about calling an Aries competitive or a Virgo a perfectionist. Aries truly are not perfectionistic and can actually drive a perfectionistic Virgo insane. Believe me, in a relationship you can also tell the difference between a possessive Scorpio and a Sagittarius has trouble with commitment. Both have strengths and weaknesses, but most of all they need to be handled with care.

The other key point about sign characteristics has to do with the elemental signs of fire, water, earth, and air. Each zodiac has a ruling element and the degree to which the element rules (such as the cardinal air sign or the mutable earth) determines how strong the personality is. For example, a Libra is the cardinal air sign, its attributes of fairness and equality will easily over shadow the Gemini that wants to do whatever they can to cooperate. A zodiac’s element also gives it characteristics as well.

Can a person act unlike their zodiac? Not in entirety but for the most part yes. Just like any specific personality type, the more you know about it the more you can change it. If you don’t like being a manipulative Cancer, you can do your best to avoid your manipulative tendencies. I am a very self-aware Aries, therefore most people do not know exactly how many Arian characteristics that I actually have because I let those characteristics come out more subtly.
Various fields of helping positions are in tune to zodiacs too. Your zodiac sign may now be taken in to consideration by some career counselors, doctors, matchmakers, and psychologists. This done right here in American culture not just in Asian practices.

Is it possible to prove that zodiacs are truthful in every form of the word? No, same with other personality descriptions, they are based on theory and logic, but not tangibly provable. She we discount them for that fact? Not at all. After all, where would be if we hadn’t looked into what Freud or Jung were saying about personality. We just need to be thankful it is available to use.

I hope this has some how inspired you to look at zodiacs a little differently. I have just explored the tip of the iceberg. There are so many good books and studies on this subject, one could spend years researching it. Might I suggest: “Born on a Rotten Day,” “Sex Scopes” or “He’s Just Not in the Signs” they are all fun reads and full of good facts! So take your Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, or Pisces self out to have a good day, in your own sign type of way.
