Do you think this is true about you why you’re single according to your zodiac sign?


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.
Lol sorry I get passionate, if not ranty, about astrology.
In response to what the birthdays represent, Iād say the argument still holds. Although the birthdays are only representations, the dates still changed. It still begs the question what this means for the people whose signs changed.
Also, Iāve also heard the claim before that they were more so generalizations. First problem with that mindset is it feeds into the barnum effect (vague statements too vague to mean anything). Second problem is that it feeds into the stereotypes, which, if untrue, can bite back. (I. e. stopping a possible relationship early on because they arenāt zodiac-compatible) Thirdly, it creates an ambigous argument. Itās akin to saying āIām right, except when Iām not right.ā
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.
Same but I know a Gemini and they run their life off of being manipulative, lying, fake facade of being a good person it's so sad. They are one of satans kids. Omg I used to date one of satans kids no wonder this year has been horrible.
@BlossomBeautiful What are you talking about :-s
Nothing I'm just still mfn ignore me
Still Mad
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 :/
Exactly! I always take anything astrology says with a grain of salt. Astrology Signs are kinda like fandoms; the positive and negitive stereotypes of your fandom may be true, but they don't always apply to you. Just as I'm sure there are some really intimidating 6' bombastic Scorpios out there, they don't make up all Scorpios. As with a lot of things, it's a spectrum. so as a fellow Soft-hearted Scorpio and as someone who is currently single, let me reassure you that this zodiac reasoning is a case by case basis and doesn't necessarily describe you :)
No prob! Happy to help š
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.
=D haha, let's call it bad experience =D
(This isn't meant in a bad way its just my opinion in a funny way)
Kermit is AWESOME!
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.
6'6 cm?
@Muhammad1999
yeah i'm only 6.6 cm tall, no 6' 6" 6 feet 6 inches tall.
By 6 feet you mean human feet or animal?
Virgo here, single, but not because I'm shy, I'd say capricorns sounds more likely to me.
Well there's more to astrology than sun signs. There's also your moon and rising sign. Those three are really important.
Moon=how you portray your emotions
Rising=how people see you at first
I say your sun and moon are most important because sun is WHO you are. While your moon shows your emotions.
I'm aries I hear people tell me this all the time hahaha
yea people tell me that too hahahah.
I'm sorry but it's far better to spend your time learning about astronomy, than astrology.
What? Seriously two down votes. Are people that interested in astrology? I never said you couldn't read about astrology for fun. But do people understand that observing and learning about planetary rotation and other facets about astronomy are actually important for science and the study of our universe.
Astrology and zodiac, that is all fiction, fantasy. There is nothing wrong with fiction and fantasy. But don't confuse fantasy with fact. That's all I'm saying.
@liarenae Good to know Liarenae. There was a time years ago when I considered astrology, but than my sister pointed out that astrology could be made to fit almost anyone's life situation at any given time. Once I started paying more attention I realize just how blurry astrology was with information. Since then I stick to learning about the universe via astronomy. :)
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!!!
i had every intention of saying that its a load of nonsense, but the description of cancer is spot on for me.
Wow. I'm a Leo, and considering those either side of me, that's a mega accurate triple whammy right there. Three most epitomising reasons.
I would be a Pisces and I don't "giggle" much at all, in fact most people describe me as being rather robotic and blase.
Definetly not. If it where that would be incredibly depressing. I don't love food. And I have loved someone
I dont believe in astrology but this is actually true for me. But not because i am a cancer, more because this applies to many people regardless of their zodiac sign.
I'll smile when i want to and im only scary being a giant.
Whoa they really gave no fucks about Aquarius people xD
Luckily it's all bullshit. Until I see a peer-reviewed, scientific article proving astrology I'm just going to yawn at it
zodiac signs remind me of buzzfeed. they just take everything "relatable" to peple.
it depends if you take these things seriously.
I am the opposite of a player so this nonsense - but I already know not to care about astrology
I don't think ANYTHING about zodiac is true. Its all hocus pocus
I think it makes a lot of sense, but you can overcome this if you try hard enough.
Zodiacs and horoscopes are a load of crap also witch craft
If I go by the "standard dates" (Virgo), that would be a yes. If going by the "new dates" (Libra), if I were flirting, it's purely by accident since I can't tell when I'm being flirted with.
Zodiac is so simple that it fits many people. I'd say true in my case too.
Scorpio as well, well Scorpio Sagittarius cusp. My boyfriend is a Sagittarius and he's not a player. Honestly I think Capricorn would fit me best. I rarely smile.
Iām a Virgo, I am not shy I am really quite the opposite apart from the bedroom then I can be quite shy.
I'm a capricorn. Not true because I smile and laugh a lot.
See I thought taurus was me when I saw this a few years ago and then I found a guy that I love more than Pad Thai and now I'm not single.
Iām not single but thatās false for me. Lmfao Iām not approachable. Downfall of having a really bad case of rbf 🤷🏻āāļø
No. The reason why they're single is because they're basing their relationship status off of magical star signs
lol so not true and i'm an aries. i'm actually quite timid
im loud and scary and it makes people uncomfortable
well, im actually quite quiet tbh so i dont think it's true lol
Nah. I'm no player, but I'm no fool either. If I peep game, I'm always ready to play is all.
Lol what a coincidence. I am capricorn according to the horoscope.
according to this image, i'm single because i intimidate everyone...
according to me, i'm single because i'm not interested.
Nope. Iām single by choice and the exact opposite of a player
Iām a Capricorn and Iāve been told Iām very stoic and donāt smile a lot so I guess thatās accurate haha
Haha. I love food. Can't be able to bear a diet because I love food too much.
As scorpion as i am its true, i love Pissing off girl.
i love them when they look angry and crazy like Taylor Swift
The ones for Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Capricorn describe me all too well.
I'm a Virgo.
I'm actually married, so my answer is a definite NO.
I'm sun sign Gemini and moon sign Virgo so I can see how this could be true but I doubt it z most of the guys the that I'm independent
Yes I do love my food and i do love eating pussy in a relationship lol. by the way I'm a Taurus 😂😉 👅
What a load of bullshit. Stop buying into this stupid zodiac nonsense. My date of birth doesn't determine my life, I DO!
Leo... Pssssh I'm not looking for anything besides a college
I do isolate myself, but I can also identify with, like, 6 other reasons that arenāt meant for my sign.
Lol. Exactly. I love her. She loves me I know. I revealed her indirectly that I love her. I'm sure she knows. Still I fear to go near her. Mine Virgo.
No, I struggle to flirt with the person I'm interested in let alone everyone else.
Pick sign and I believe it does not fit everyone who was born under that sign.

Took a quiz, says i (a pisces) should be with a virgo
