The attitude that you will fix things later rather than solve problems now can lead you to over-indulgence, overspending, and ignoring some of the more important details of daily life. Procrastination may be a shortcoming. You may choose to take the easiest way towards achieving your goals. With maturity, you learn that a lack of self-control inhibits your progress in life, and that moderation is something that you should strive for, although it should be noted that this is not an easy thing for you to master. It requires dedication and periodic checks to control your impulses towards immoderate behavior."


OMG! OMG! That checks out for me as well - and pretty much everyone I know! We all must have been born at the same time and in the same place as Stimbo. Either that or you're just spouting vague generalizations, that you can attribute to anyone... I wonder - which is it? Tongue

When you get back, can you tell me how important the birth location is and what location you used for me, please? I'll wait.

Until then, I'll just say that I recognised quite a lot of me in that report, probably at least 80% spot on. Which is remarkable.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

No clue. More of them have come out of tune woodwork the past few weeks that's for sure.

He he... I know you are. It's OK - one day you'll grow up, learn some real stuff and you'll be laughing at the nonsense you believe in now. Good luck. Smile

This sucks. I wanted to hear more about how smart I am, not about some guy's christmas shopping.

OP, did you know?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophiuchus_(astrology)

Quote: That is, astrological signs do not correspond to the actual constellations which are their namesakes, particularly not in the case of the tropical system where the divisions are fixed relative to the equinox, moving relative to the constellations.

Then get out of this thread dude it's that simple. Or are you a retard and forget basic browser function from time to time?

Are all astrologers so simulatiously thin skinned and insulting to others, or is it just a feature of being a Capricorn?
