Is zodiac signs really affect a person?
I'm really starting to question it. I'm cancer, and they apparently “cling" to crushes. I barely talk to mine. We hang out together sometimes, but I don't cling. They also aren't supposed to be brave and daring, but my peers, close friends, and family members say I am. My friend is Sagittarius. Sagittariuses are supposed to be manipulative, dangerous and mean, according to a website I found, but I've known that girl since I was 2, and now I'm 10. I know that girl like a book. She is THE EXACT OPPOSITE!!!!!!!! She wouldn't harm a fly! And my other Sagittarius friend, who I knew since I was 1, is never like that at all! In fact, I'd say she's a pushover. So, can stars truly have an impact on someone's life?

Quite agree. Regard as 'for entertianment value only' I suggest? There's nothing whatsoever to suggest that planetary/cosmic movements and alignments can exert any influence on the personality or character traits of humans. For one thing, the more distant planets simply do not actually move on a monthly cycle, and the actual alignment today will not be repeated twelve months from today anyway. Certainly the moon exerts a significant physical/gravitational 'pull' on the earth. That's why we have tides in the seas and oceans. And it does follow a monthly cycle. Perhaps this is at the root of astrological belief? But again, no evidence at all to suggest that anything in a human is receptive to, or under the influence of the moon. It's a complete myth that it affects the weather. We can see more clearly under a full or near full moon at night, where there are no street lights. That's about all it affects. Can the movements influence our day-to-day existence? Will we be 'lucky in relationships' or be 'likely to clash with/have an argument with our boss' this week? Once again, it is impossible to define or even imagine what mechanism or agency could bring this about, isn't it? Add that everybody born in the May-June window tagged 'Gemini' (for instance)is going to argue with the boss this week. That's an awful lot of people and a whole heap of arguments! Bit of harmless entertainment though, eh? The earth has it's cycles and seasons though, that's beyond argument. So does the entire universe. But the universal rhythms aren't centred around us, or controlling us. In the case of the cycles and seasons of earth, it is more WE who have had to adapt to THEM. So in a way THEY have shaped the history and habits and lives of us all. The distant planets and stars are following their own agenda, I reckon?

Well zodiacs and horoscopes simply are diagrams representing the positions of the Sun, Moon, planets, astrological aspects, etc ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location)). The information you see regarding personalities that come from zodiacs and horoscopes stem from an astrologer's PREDICTION based on celestial interest. I would take it with a grain of salt. Of course it's fun sometimes to read them and it's nice when they coincide with who you really are, but it's just not possible that everyone's personalities stems from 12 different types. Think about it this way, is everyone born in a certain month the same person? Of course not. Or in the case of the chinese zodiac, not everyone born in the same year has the same personality! I personally don't think that there is any real TRUTH to it. However, I enjoy reading it sometimes because it is nice when it's correct. Don't base your perception of others based on their sign :) Get to know them and enjoy their company like you have been!
