Meme-age from micheinnz

Take the Wiki definition of your astrological sign. copy and paste it behind an LJ cut, and bold the statements that really agree with your personality. Reply to me saying you've done it so I can go look at yours!


Individuals born under this sign are thought to have a kind, emotional, romantic, imaginative, sympathetic, nurturing, and intuitive character. The Cancer person is protective, sensitive, tenacious, retentive, resourceful, self-contained, family and home oriented, maternal, security oriented, warm, patriotic, sentimental, and loving. They can also be touchy, clingy, over-protective, moody and crabby and prone to changeability, hypersensitivity, depression, and clinginess [when I'm being particularly feeble].

In astrology Cancer is ruled by the Moon. The Indian equivalent of Cancer is Karka, the Chinese equivalent is the Sheep

In love the Cancer person is likely to be romantic, sentimental [in strange ways], very clinging and tender, and open to sensual stimulation. Maternal instincts are strong in women and protective instincts in men. However they can also be touchy.

Suitable occupations are where shrewd but sensitive nature can be constructively employed, or in looking after others; such as nurses, gardeners, archaeologists, hoteliers, publicans, estate agents.

[Bummer about the occupation stuff, eh, although I do like growing veges. And maybe I'll run queer-friendly campground when I'm old and crusty.]

Since I have Aries rising, I'll put that in for a giggle too:

Those born under Aries are thought to be assertive [more when it comes to work - the public face], pioneering, enthusiastic, adventurous, humourous, fast-paced, energetic and passionate, sociable, good communicator [again, when it comes to work - personal stuff defaults to Cancerian beat-around-the-bush], brave, action-oriented, individualistic, independent, impulsive, competitive, eager, straightforward, forceful [although I sit on that as much as possible], headstrong, a leader, focused on the present and freedom-loving. They can also sometimes be intemperate, violent, impatient, fiery, rash, extreme, and arrogant, impulsive, intolerant, insensitive [maybe "clueless", more], and bullying out of selfishness.

In astrology Aries is ruled by the planet Mars.

The Indian equivalent of Aries is Mesha , the Chinese equivalent is the Dragon.

In love the Aries person is passionate. They have strong sexual feelings, may also tend to be unfaithful at times. [yay polyamory!]

Suitable occupations are where initiative and enterprise are needed, and preferably physical activity; such as soldiers, surgeons, engineers, sportspeople, explorers and firefighters.

Totally tried it, but I have very little in common with the Wiki entry.

Well, buggery! Of course, the rationale with astrology is it's not only your sun sign, it's all 10 "planets" (including the moon and Pluto), the "houses" they were in at your time of birth (12 of those), and the significant aspects between them. So, at the most basic, there are 720 different variations that you can encounter (minus whatever it is for impossible combinations).

...I think I spent way too much time looking into astrology at an impressionable age. Heh.

Actually, I want to compare these things with the Myers-Briggs stuff. How well does one's M-B score actually fit one? :-)
