Welcome to Gaia! ::

I've never really gone in for all this stuff myself, but it occupies a few minutes so I guess I'll give it a go.

Cancer (Jun 21 - July 22)- is the cardinal/water sign. Cancerians get things done through the power of their emotional commitment. (It'll be a cold day in hell before I get anything done.) Not only do they aggressively work to accomplish the goals inspired by their own feelings, they also know how to appeal to the emotions of others. (That might work better were it not for my aspergers. As things stand though, no.) By making other people feel like family members, Cancerians effectively motivate others to get things done. (Don't make me laugh, bitterly...) They have to learn how to reach an emotional balance since they tend to be overly sensitive and moody. (Okay, now that one I'll grant them - I have been known to be over sensitive at times, and I was a moody little sod throughout most of secondary school.)

Hmm, not a huge amount of similarity there. The Chinese Zodiac, on the other hand, seems a little more in keeping with how I am.

Personality Traits:
People born under the year of the Snake tend to exhibit the following characteristics: they are intellectual (Well, I like to think so), superstitious (Not so much), sceptical (Definately), astute (On occasion), have elegance (Erm...), innate wisdom (Maybe a little, I guess...), and possibly some levels of supernatural capability (Oh, I wish...). Snake people rarely seek independent advice or advice from others (Clearly they've never seen me at work), possibly because on the whole they don't communicate well with others (Now that is fairly accurate). They tend to be very private people, but when they are riled they like to " settle old scores" (I wouldn't disagree with either of those points). Generally they are very deliberate about whatever they say (Hmm, they may be onto something there). They like to think first and speak later and they also have a cautious business sense (Yup). It is in their nature to be very unremitting and suspicious and this results in a character that is both slow to forgive, highly calculative (It varies, really), somewhat hateful in nature and can certainly bide their time in order to reap their revenge (Hmm, less so I think). Other features include: leading dangerous lives that are full of thrills and intrigue (Does Gaia count for that?), yet they keep a firmness of purpose and a clear presence of mind (Hmm...).

The year of the Snake: is a somewhat changeable year, filled with preparation, contemplation and much reflection. Often breakthroughs are made but achieved in silence. Generally the Snake year is not a calm year, possibly a year of sharp dealings, turmoil and even war if differences cannot be resolved. To sum up: the year of the snake is the strongest most negative force of all of the signs. (Oo-er!)

The Earth Snake - traditional, trusty, is motivated by rationality, unrelenting and dependable. (Now that bit I would definitely agree with.)

I'm a Capricorn, too! dramallama

I don't really believe in horoscopes, but sometimes the personality descriptions from astrology can be startlingly accurate. . .

Which would mean that I'm wood. Not sure about the rest though (January 5 1984). Can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks!

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22) - is the cardinal/air sign. Librans accomplish things because they intellectually evaluate what needs to be done, then they charm others into cooperating to achieve the goal. By unselfishly sharing the success of accomplishment with those who have assisted them, Librans nurture the cooperative efforts of others. They have to learn how to deal with confrontation. Their fear of hurting others and also of hostile situations can keep them from reaching their goals.

Sort of... I wonder of this one is more accurate...



Personality Traits:
People born under the year of the Monkey tend to be generally good at "mastering anything" they put their hands to, they are also successful. This is possibly due to a combination of personality traits including: charm, cleverness, quit wittedness and their love of a challenge. They are also crafty, competitive, envious and have a flexible character. At times they are capable of great dishonesty, they can be both self-centered and narcissistic and can often have a superiority complex, believing themselves to be above others. They always manage to give good reason for their deeds and with a total and unshakeable belief in themselves, they feel that they always know best and are seldom discouraged. Although they have a complete lack of impartiality they do have good intellectual skill and good memories. The monkey has an avid inquisitiveness but likes to find the easy way out of any problems.
