Just for fun birthday month poll

[maidentomother]

You need to know your exact time & place of birth. I use astro.com it has great free natal charts. The interpretation is the difficult/expensive part. I'm an amateur astrologer and I can interpret the major aspects pretty well but I still have a LOT to learn about the nuances, which are many and detailed! It's fun though, I like to do cold readings bc that proves it best. I do think there is a psychic component and the best astrologers are psychics. I'm not a big fan of computer interpretations of charts and find them less accurate.

If you ever just want to get started learning the basics, I love Linda Goodman's astrology books. She's very good at conveying/describing the qualities/energies of the signs, planets, etc.

They have come up with some science that shows people born in certain months are actually more prone to depression than others and I really just feel like there's somehting there - obviously it can't predict the future or anything but I do feel like there are some trends there where I know people who are just very very similar and end up having the same signs.

That's interesting.... You wouldn't happen to know which months these are?

[bunnywabbit]

Where would i find one of these charts?? I am interested in taking a look!

Try Birth Chart Calculator. Have just pulled up my chart - 90% is accurate!

I have guessed people's sign correctly many times from strong traits

me too including Gordon Ramsay LOL. My sons shut up about me and astrology after I did that.

[atomic sagebrush]

correction - I can tell the 4 "types" a high % of the time, not necessarily individual signs. Like, Air, Fire, Water, Earth

Crazy I guess i just dont over analyze people too much. That and i am not around anyone but my kids most days. Haha. All i do know is that the three scorpios in my house are nothing alike so inguess that makes me not buy into it.

I think the "water" signs are harder to guess because they're meant to be very changeable.

[Rosie85]

Well that explains why people think i have.multiple personalities! Lmao! Seriously though i always have found myself to be adaptable and have a hard time taking personality quizzes because i fit all the answers. Ha!

Yep Water signs are hard to guess/often come off as other (Scorpios & Pisces especially can be chameleons). I'm a Pisces sun/Cancer rising plus have 3 other planets in Pisces/Cancer but I think I come across more as a Virgo or Sagittarius or even Aries (all of which feature prominently in my chart). But I also have nearly all mutable energy (NO fixed at all!) so I am a particularly slippery chart to summarize, so to speak. My Pisces/Cancer traits are very much there but manifest more quietly IMO, especially bc I have a very forceful personality (and that can overshadow quieter/more passive traits, I particularly see this in Scorpios...all of whom have strong personalities IME).

I am almost never surprised by people's charts and can often guess specifics (like hey, Mars in Aries or I bet Moon & Sun are in opposition, or there so and so signs intercepted...or life stuff like which signs are ruled by which houses, etc). But as I said, I think there is often a psychic component even in hobby astrologers.
