Rejected because pisces is the dumbest star signApparently, that’s Norah’s star sign I learned about yesterday (I don’t care about horoscopes though) Virgo over hereOmg virgo club yayMissed being a pisces (and on Amy's hate list) by a day 😂LolololOh you definitely are an Aries 😂Wut? I'm an aquarian not an Aries. I thought the having my head up my own a$$ was a dead giveaway😂OmgggDo y’all believe in horoscopes? :face_with_monocle:Not in a be all end all kind of way. But I believe in it the same way I believe things will work out as they should. So then when shit hits the fan I can be like oh it's okay mercury is in retrograde but I'll be fine in 12 days 😂😂No not at all. I do believe that being born in a certain month could affect your personality and life. Did you read outliers by Gladwell?I really strongly dislike Gladwell for his (imho) hit pieces and oversimplification of stats...so no :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:lol yeah Amy I believe in whatever my mom says 😂I just love to read about pretty much everything - this is one of thosewell, i'm usually affected by different stars and galaxiesThere is science behind the power of the moonbut what about sun flairs?I feel like I notice similarities between people who were born around the same time (leos are consistently obsessed with their own hair; scorpios take grudges very seriously, and taureans are stubborn AF, for example), but that might just be confirmation bias because I was raised by a raging hippieI'm an Aries, Amy, for what it's worth 😄and omg yes Limarc and Amy you are SUCH Virgos ✨:rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: (or just canadian..?) Loren knows the facts:

hmm I don't know Natasha:

"Strengths: Loyal, analytical, kind, hardworking, practical
Weaknesses: Shyness, worry, overly critical of self and others, all work and no play"

Amy is definitely not shy. I used to be shy until college and then I forced myself to grow out of it.

the rest is true though 😅, at least I hope soI was painfully shy until college too. Well, either painfully shy or wildly unpopular. I'm not sureI feel ya. That's the same excuse I use when people ask why I didn't have any long-term relationships in highschool 😣I mostly worked on stuff during my breaks (also goes back to the all work no play virgoness)but like was that by choice...or because we had no other options...I'm not sure 😂 this is a very chicken vs egg scenarioYou know what? We turned out fineNO MATTER WHAT THE HOROSCOPES SAY(Worry)Lol Natasha I think David, who’s a Taurus( I just learned) is truly stubborn af but at the same time I think he cares about his hair more than me, a Leo. 😂 I get what you say about general pointer through I’d say I identify with other Leo traits such as the need to be excellent and let other people know about it :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:Limarc I think those describe you very well especially the practical one spot on I still stand by everything I said in this thread 😂
