See what happens when one tends to trip over one's own feet?

Re: Cancerians!?

Who knows The question is, do people of certain star signs share certain characteristics? There are many that believe they do. So you people understand where the word character comes from.... Chara is from the Greek "Hara or Hari" meaning happiness or joy. Charismatic , Charisma, Character (Haraxitras) is that part of the person’s personality which draws other to them. Some have a stronger one then others, and everyone has a different one. I know people that can turn stone into Gold simply by there Character.

Also the connection between giving something to someone for free or out of good will was connected to happiness by the Greeks.. The English say "Gave it away for free" the Greeks simply say "To Hariseh"

Re: Cancerians!?

Alexa, there was someone on this forum that said his daughter was a cancerian and without even knowing Alexander the Great was a Cancerian he named his daughter after him.

Now look at yourself, your name is Alexa and your a Cancerian Somethings simply just happen to happen. The fact we have 2 people of the root name Alexandros and both Cancerians posting on this thread is further proof that strange things happen

Now here is the philosophy agaisn't maths battle in demo..

And what are the chances of them viewing this thread and replying to it? And so on and so on.

It's whatever you make of it.

Some say everything happens for a reason, I'd say you would oppose that thinking?

My user name is Alexa, not my real name.

I agree, some things just happen, by coincidence.

Hmm. That's really strange. Maybe you just attract Cancerian people around you. After all you are a Lion.

I believe stars can predispose to a certain situation, but people choose the direction they want to go, even if by this, they are against of stars astrology.

Hi Alexa, not a lion but a libra, the scales. However, I am married to a leo. He's a very decisive person and all around good guy.

In some ways I've always been disappointed to have an inanimate object as my astrological sign. Other people get cute or interesting animals. But a balance? However, it suits me. My Chinese sign is a cow, as is my husband's since he was born in the same year. Cows are OK, you know, they are vegetarians and give milk, so except for the methane flatulence they are a pretty benign animal. Guess that suits me too! My older daughter is a dragon, which I think is very cool but she doesn't appreciate it yet.

cheers,
lunamoth

Re: Cancerians!?

Hi lunamoth,

I'm not very happy to be a crab either, but it seems that was available the time when I was ready to be born. Worse. I'm a monkey in Chinese Astrology.

Do you know the legend of the twelve animals in Chinese Astrology ? If not, here you have it. I think it's interesting :

Quote:
Legend has it that Chinese Astrology and the order of the twelve animals that define it was determined thousands of years ago by Lord Buddha himself.

According to the age-old tale, Buddha realised that the Chinese nation needed a reorganisation. So on the occasion of the Chinese New Year (which occurs on different dates from mid-January to mid-February), Buddha called upon the entire animal kingdom for a meeting. But only twelve animals showed up for this meeting.

First to arrive was the talkative, aggressive Rat, then came the enduring, hard-working Buffalo. Close on their heels came the honorable, smiling Tiger accompanied by his crony, cautious Cat. Immediately followed, the spiffy, outspoken Dragon ahead of the wise, philosophical Snake. The gifted, physically active Horse came along with the gentle, artistic Goat. The spirited, merry Monkey came next. Then, in strutted the proud and showy Rooster. Finally, the twelve were completed when the faithful and watchful Dog arrived followed by the scrupulous, resigned Boar.

Buddha then honoured them in the order of their arrival by endowing upon them with a year of their own. From then on, each successive year of the Chinese calendar bore that character of the animal that gave it a name and so, those born in specific animal years are marked by the nature of their natal animal.

Yet, all people born in the same animal are not the same literally and do differ from each other in certain aspects. These differences are determined by the various elements of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. Each of these elements distinguishes one person of the same animal from the other

Interesting. I think that people born in certain parts of the year can exhibit basic characteristic traits, but that is about it. The rest is "open season". Maybe we both mean the same thing?
