I donāt think itās true, mainly because I believe zodiac/fortune telling/cold reading/whatever are scams/falsehoods and nothing more. (Zodiac stuff triggers me lol)

(Warning: Rant incoming)
I trust zodiac signs about as much as a blind guy (who didnāt know me) walking up to me and stating what clothes Iām wearing/how I look. In other words, he has no basis, and any guesses heād make would be off of probability/chance.
Zodiac sayings spout firstly general ārelatableā predictions worded to seem specific... Hence, the barnum effect. Zodiacās ātruthā is just a result of our applications from real life to the text.
For the barnum effect in action, hereās a video for it.
Here is the original text:

What makes things worse is that people base life choices on these things. There is no scientific basis for it though except the psychology behind deceiving people. There are compatibility charts based on these things, and I can be certain people have been influenced when they see āoh no, my capricorn star sign will have trouble with a leoā or whatnot. Iāve heard people attribute peopleās evilness to zodiac signs, and Iāve heard people stereotype others based on their zodiac signs.
To put people into boxes based on birthdates is, in my opinion, ignorant. It shuts down discussion and gives people an avenue to disregard others. Iāve been in discussions before where Iāll argue a dissenting standpoint. However, my dissenting standpoint and itās claims are then disregarded because āIām a capricorn and capricorns are naturally skeptical.ā At that point, it becomes a loop. Iāll argue against that claim, and then Iāll get matched with a capricorn stereotype.
Let us also not forget when they moved the birthdates around to fit in the new zodiac sign. So what? If I was a Cancer born in mid/early July, my personality now magically shifted to that of a Gemini? If the basis of zodiac personalities is birthdates, it makes no sense for a sudden shift in the corresponding sign dates. Even if horoscopes said something significant, personality doesnāt suddenly shift like that (apart from brain damage or possibly traumatic events). This only further disproves it.
Finding the writing interesting is ok from a curiosity/how-do-they-write-them, but it is poisonous rational to believe for a second the words hold weight.
TL;DR; No.

No, zodiac signs are the biggest waste of time. I was born in early June which would mean I am a Gemini. I'm a 32-year-old law student, who is decent looking, funny, enjoys traveling, cooks, very meticulous with certain things in life, I don't do drugs, I don't drink, I believe in helping others and NOT being some stingy, manipulative, sexist/racist dick wode.
You would think because a Gemini is strongly paired with someone who is an Aries I would be matched up with someone by now but I am not. It's God's plan with those who we meet but also our desire to meet others in a genuine way. Yes, I understand people will say if it was up to God then why would break-ups, heartbreak and other negative things happen? Well, unfortunately, bad things like that happen. But we have to have faith that things will work out and if they don't on earth then continue being a good person.
Because in the afterlife God will reward you, I know people will read this and give me a thumbs down on this comment but I am trying to be optimistic, positive and faithful. Those are the important things to hold on to as we live our life.
Well tbh its not just your Sun sign. You have Moon, mars, venus and mercury to care about too. And dont forget the rising sign. Mostly there will be a dominant sign if you look carefully above mention signs. And you will find that matches for your presonality better than sun sign. 😁
Im a taurus. I love food ofc. BUT i had been single because im too sassy and males were usually afraid of me (im a small girl xD but bitch with an attitude) and they say im kinda mysterious and hard to read. I love dark poetry and gothic stuff so on. 💁 But you see taurus is NOT even near.
My moon is scorpio, rising is scorpio, venus is Aries and mars is Leo. So my dominant is Scorpio. And I act like one :3
I'm a virgo, probably true partly. I think the real reason would be more capricorn/aquarius. I seem rather unapproachable, and when a guy talks to me it takes a while before I get comfortable (if it's on a romantic level). And on top of that I never approach a guy I fancy either.
I just can't help but pull my defense card when a guy looks at me. I glare at him right away >_< or think: he? no he isn't looking at me.
So probably a mix of my starsign with some other starsign.
Yep, I'm a Aquarius and most guys don't come up to me. It's because I barely smile and I have that resting boo face like Wednesday Addams. I have a loner aura about me and when I talk to guys my age, I talk pretty formally at first but I become relaxed when I talk to them more.
I'm just one of those people you have to knead butter to get to know. Although, some people who have the right vibes I open up easily to. It's rare though.
I am a virgo, and I would say mine is 100% correct. I'm not only shy but awkward bruh! it's a struggle put here in these streets.
I don't know what to tell you buy I heard Scorpios are Crazy when it comes to relationships!😂😂

I do love food but not more than people lol.
Not at all. Astrology is facinating, fun, and occasionally has some good insights, but it's never 100% accurate. As a fellow Scorpio I can garentee that this particular pictures' reasoning is bunk. As much as I have tried, I can't intimidate anyone successfully to save my life :/
I'd say
Aries = too paranoid
Taurus = too addicted to money
Gemini = changes his mind often
Cancer = looks like he does not give a sh1t about you
Leo = demands too much worshipping his ass
Virgo = looks like evil genius and freaks the shit out of everyone. Like wants to f.. ck you up all the time
Libra = very unemotional and formal, treats everybody the same. No sex until 3rd date, but date 3 must be sex otherwise fail. In sex is like a freaky robot.
Scorpio = is cool, but focks with everybody. reason: you don't give me much attention
Sagittarius = speaks too much, focks with everybody and thinks you don't notice
Capricorn = true evil genius, but very boring and hard make her to change her mind
Aquarius = change her mind often, can call off dating 1 minute before dating
Pisces = pretends to be leet, but actually sucks and focks with everybody around.(This isn't meant in a bad way its just my opinion in a funny way)
Seem unapproachable? *humpfs* Just because I don't like people doesn't mean I'm unapproachable... lmao, totally kidding. ;)
I take Zodiac stuff like lottery odds; sometimes it's a win, but way more often, it's a loss (meaning it doesn't come true or is so false as to be laughable).No. Id rather base my future off rolling a dice than astrogy. Its absolute nonsense. Anyone who believes it has never heard of the Barnum effect. It worries me that people believe they can get i sights into their life, future, etc based solely on the month they were born
I'm Virgo, this is so wrong. We are actually picky and would rather rot alone that date the wrong person. Michael Jackson rings a bell? they call me gay too.
Iām also a scorpio and iāve had people tell me they were too scared to approach me because i always seem mad..
Well I'm with someone currently. But I say it's true. I tend to giggle often. Only because I'm just really happy to be with that person.
by the way (Pisces)I'm a Sagittarius and I'd say that's not true. I'm certainly not a player, it's more I want to live life and adventure and not get involved with someone if I don't feel I can give them everything that deserve as my girlfriend
Haha! Capricorn here, I do smile, have been told I have a good smile, however told that I don't smile enough. At 6'6" & not smiling often I'm asked or told that I look scary or angry.
Virgo here, single, but not because I'm shy, I'd say capricorns sounds more likely to me.
I'm aries I hear people tell me this all the time hahaha
I'm sorry but it's far better to spend your time learning about astronomy, than astrology.
You don't know how to how. Already lost it there.
Astrology/zodiac has always been naive to me. Maybe 1/48 months it has "somewhat" related and I call it rng.Lmao excuse me but I smile a lot and I'm not scary.. Capricorn astrology is usually emo af
Well im a leo and well i hate myself but nobidys loves me soooooo
Aquarius: seem unapproachable
Lol, true. I always have my earphones on or am busy with something and don't want to be disturbed. Although I should add that I tend to reject people since I currently can't be bothered with a relationship"Libra: You!!! flirt!!! with!!! everyone!!!" No!!! I!!! don't!!!, quite!!! the!!! opposite!!!
