At least the MBTI requires a quiz; and even thought the answers are entirely subjective, they at least allow for much more detail to work with than only asking, "When were you born?".

Not that I put much stock in the MBTI any more, either.

Oh gawd I'm totally into astrology :lol:
But it helped me extremely to understand people in general and their individual inentions. It helped me so much in learning to have empathy and to analyze them.

I absolutely LOVE to categorize things, and people in general, so astrology seems a perfect system for me to do so. It gives me a certain clarity and order in my brain. But I never tell such things to neurotypical, otherwise they see me as a cruel person that is "putting everyone in boxes." :roll: :lol:

But I think the most benefit I have from it is to understand myself better what is still one of the biggest issues obviously.

Not my sun, but I've got 4 planets in scorpio including my venus which is a very strong placement ;)

I'm a Sagittarius, what are you?

I'm a sagittarius too. Guess it makes you all together targets for my arrows. At least the stars tell me so. Once you are nice then your hearts are my target. Otherwise your brains. :heart: :twisted: :heart:

I'm a Aquarius. I want everyone to know though that there is a lot more to astrology than just your Sun Sign. Your Sun Sign just describes your basic ego and personality that you are learning to become. You have an entire birth chart and also have different signs in each of the planets when you were born. You may have signs that contradict your Sun Sign and cause you not to fully relate to it.

i'm nominally a non-sign-in-type sag, rising sign is scorpio [with neptune and mercury in 1st house]. initial chart said i was supposed to be rich and famous but there must be flies all over that astrological ointment preventing this.

Astrology is pretty boring. I'd rather set up a date with a real witch (if rationalists are not available).

Your chart was f****d up when the chubby nurse stood on the wrong side of the room.
