It's so vague you can apply it to anyone. Numerous tests have shown that when given the same horoscope, people of different personalities and "signs" will make it fit them.
No I am not kidding you, but I haven't studied it in depth. The books I've looked at are not vague, there are always some misses so it is certainly not an exact science, much like psychology.
Hmm, well I don't know you in any real way so looking at your chart won't help me at all, nor will your rebuttal.
I remember your talking about astrology and I suggested a site that you check out and you didn't even respond to me so I don't really feel inclined to proceed with you. Given the context, astrology was just an aside so go start your own thread, and I'll continue my conversation with EvF. I would be willing to discuss it, just not here.
Thanks,

I find that a very hard question to answer, I'm not sure how picky I could be. I don't know - I've never had a sexual relationship so I guess I better learn that lesson through experience really.
In response to Leo. I like your comment about how you hold off and don't say anything if you disapprove, but if asked you will not actually lie. That's what I do too - the problem is that I always end up being asked if I know someone long enough anyway... and I feel so awkward because of the suspense ("am I going to be asked?") sometimes that I feel I might as well be clear where I stand from the beginning.

Even when you are asked, there is a right way and a wrong way to proceed. I go with honesty and try to just speak the truth while avoiding dysphemistic speach (Sky daddy, god-boy, hippy crap, sugar pills) because I have learned that the quickest way to snap a persons ears closed is to approach a hot button topic with a sneering tone. This, of course, only applies to people I care about; those I think are fucktards are fair game and receive treatment according to my mood.

In the example of a girlfriend, or girlfriend prospect, it is still best to be honest or you could find yourself in a relationship (YAY sex) that is built on a foundation of understanding that isn't real:
her - Yay he really "gets" me and won't judge my beliefs
you - ugh will she ever shut up about how <insert kooktastic belief here> helps her make it through her day
It is a hard decision for me to make because I am very judgmental and have had to relax my views a lot to participate in polite society while engineering a personality that is acceptable but able to move me towards my goals. *wonders if anyone else approaches life like this*
