Astrology Signs : How Accurate Are They?

I know I am committing sacrilege for this post. Being a believer of Christ, I am not supposed to believe in any form of horoscopes whatsoever. So when my brother asked me to take a look at this detailed astrology website, I just went in to satisfy my curiosity. It is really detailed, as the report is based on the exact day, month, year and time I was born, as well as the planets corresponding with the signs. Although I take horoscopes with a pinch of salt, but after reading the detailed analysis of my characteristics, I was totally speechless as everything about me is so true! The report gave a 95% accurate analysis of my personality trait. Coincidence? Who knows?

Anyway, here is the report, as reproduced word by word below, so for those who know me or know when my birthday is, you can see whether it is accurate (no, I am not going to say when my exact birth date is for those not in the know):

Rising Sun in 22 degrees Sagittarius (Yes, so for those I have unwittingly offended, please do not take to heart.)

You are known for being open, frank, outgoing and honest. At times though you are also blunt and quite indiscreet. Others have to learn not to take everything you say personally because you usually do not mean any harm. You appreciate living your life in a straightforward and simple manner - you dislike social niceties and consider them to be hindrances to real communication. You have lots and lots of energy and tend to become quite restless if you feel confined. You demand the freedom to do as you choose - you must be self-directed or you feel trapped and anxious. With your abundant energy, you enjoy being outdoors, and you should be attracted to physical exercise or to those forms of sport which can help you burn off some of that excess energy. Very gregarious, you love to socialise - your innate enthusiasm livens up any gathering.

Sun in 26 degrees Libra (True - that is why I crave for a mate.)

Very sociable, you enjoy being with others and definitely prefer not to be alone. Warm and affectionate, you go out of your way to make others like you. You despise ugliness, for you being surrounded by beauty and harmony is a necessity of life. You prefer fine clothing, an attractive home and pleasant surroundings wherever you are. Your refined tastes apply to music and art as well. At times, you are very indecisive, you waver and falter when forced to make a choice because you have the ability to see both sides of any question. The positive part of this is that you are very fair-minded and can be trusted to settle disputes. Your greatest challenge is to take any one-on-one encounter and make the most of it.

Moon in 12 degrees Gemini (Not really - my attention span is pretty long, otherwise how to sit through 2 hours of History lectures per week?)

Restless in the extreme, you are easily bored because of your short attention span. Your emotions change rapidly and you love to talk about your feelings. Generally you have good judgment - your intellect controls your emotions and you do not overreact emotionally to things. A good jack-of-all-trades, you have many-sided interests and enjoy reasoning things through. With your mental agility and need for physical mobility, you are attracted to travelling and learning about other peoples and cultures. You have vivid powers of emotional self-expression - you can be a non-stop talker. You love to share your ideas with anyone who will listen.

Mercury in 9 degrees Scorpio (Very very true!)

You are a born investigator. You are fascinated by secrets and mysteries and unanswered questions of any kind. When you become upset or angry, your emotional reactions are overpowering - reason and logic disappear in an uncontrollable passionate outburst. You tend to keep your thoughts secret and bottled up and this makes others regard you with suspicion. It is not that you are trying purposely to be evasive, it is just that you would rather not deal with the explosions and hassles that often occur when you reveal your true feelings and opinions. Your sense of humour tends toward sarcasm and irony.

Venus in 22 degrees Scorpio (This is also very very true.)

Your feelings about others are deep, powerful, intense and complex. When you like someone, you do so totally and obsessively. If you do not like someone, they do not exist. Your faithfulness and loyalty to your lover is unquestioned, indeed at times it is too much so - you get so possessive that you almost smother your partner. At times, your feelings are kept deep within you, and because they are so complex, and intense, they frighten you - this is the way that you try to ignore them. But the more you try to do this, the more explosive things get when you eventually do express them.

Mars in 20 degrees Scorpio (Quite true to a certain extent - depends on the situation.)

Your likes and dislikes are strong and intense, never casual or superficial. You are known for your persistence and wilful obsession. Once you have decided on a course of action, you are unstoppable. Your emotional actions tend to be extreme, although you try to keep them muted. You are not quick to anger, you do slow burns. And you tend to release your anger as sarcasm or irony. Beware of your tendency to hold grudges and to be vengeful. When you do fight, or release your internal tensions, you do so body and soul - you become totally passionate and your outbursts are awesome to behold.

Jupiter in 6 degrees Leo (Most untrue, especially the 2nd to 4th line)

You must be proud of all that you do in order to grow and develop. You enjoy being totally honest and aboveboard and you revel in the admiration and respect you receive from others due to your high-handed, upright way of life. Make sure, though, that your natural tendency to boast and show off is based on your actual accomplishments. Don't fall prey to self-exaggeration or arrogance. You truly do like outrageous spectacles and grand jolly times and will go out of the way to make them a reality.

Saturn in 10 degrees Virgo (Quite true, except I am only perfectionist to things which are really important to me. My mum is the real perfectionist - everything has to be perfectly her way and with no flaws.)

Your life must be orderly and practical and full of known and familiar routines in order for you to feel comfortable with yourself. Be careful, however, not to let "order" become the be-all and end-all of your life, or you may become cold, crass and unfeeling. Doing useful, practical things boosts your self-esteem. Abstract concepts and reasoning seem frivolous and a waste of time to you. You are very critical of yourself (and others), indeed at times self-deprecating. Try to relax a bit and allow yourself the freedom to fail once in a while. However you probably won't fail very often because you are such a perfectionist.

Uranus in 15 degrees Scorpio (Quite true.)

You, and your peer group, demand to confront life at its deepest and most meaningful levels. Very compulsive and obsessive in your approach to everything, you will avoid anything that is casual or superficial, especially when it comes to relationships. You will seek out and explore new methods of healing as well as different ways to deal with deep-seated emotional problems.

Neptune in 16 degrees Sagittarious (Only the humanitarian part is true, the rest depends on situation.)

You, and your entire generation, are heavily involved in investigating and idealising foreign and exotic intellectual systems and religious philosophies. The most extreme ideals will be pursued with gutso. You will be at the forefront of humanitarian attempts to improve those in need of assistance. You will be comfortable with the concept of the "global village".

Pluto in 16 degrees Libra (Very true too!)

For your entire generation, there is a time of radical changes in society's attitude toward marriage and interpersonal relationships. There is a general fear and awe at the power inherent in making emotional or contractual commitments - they will not be entered into lightly.

N. Node in 26 degrees Virgo (Mostly true, except the clean shelves part. I do not dust clean shelves!)

You are usually quite at ease in leaving leadership roles in the hands of others. You would rather tend to the thousand and one details that need to be accomplished to keep any group going. Although you are very fussy and high-minded when it comes to choosing your associates, once your loyalty is given you can be trusted with many of the practical aspects of any project that is undertaken. Usually quite unselfish, you will toil long hours in the service of any worthy cause that demands your attention. But be careful that your perfectionist tendencies do not get in the way of making real progress. (In other words, don't waste your time dusting clean shelves!)

They say that the tips and trick to write horoscope is to write a very common trait that appears in most of the people. Feeling and sentiments are too... That's why most of the time when we read the horoscope, we think "It's true.. How come?".... :)

Maybe you got a point there. As I said, I normally take horoscopes with a pinch of salt. But I'm just surprised that this report is pretty accurate about my character traits. After all different people have different traits, even for those with the same horoscope and the same birthday. Perhaps it's just too much of a coincidental accuracy.
