I somewhat do believe in horoscopes and astrology. I don't think they shape our fortunes or anything like that, I merely think they affect our personalities and characteristics. I do read my horoscope at least once a week, but that's it -- I laugh if it fits, and shrug it off if it doesn't.
I am a Capricorn: practical, prudent, ambitious, disciplined, patient, careful, reserved, pessimistic, fatalistic, miserly, grudging.
" - - confident, strong willed and calm. These hardworking, unemotional, shrewd, practical, responsible, persevering, and cautious to the extreme persons, are capable of persisting for as long as is necessary to accomplish a goal they have set for themselves." I am way too unemotional, they say. I drag too much logic into, say, relationships. I tend to rationalize and over-analyze everything.
" - - resourceful, determined managers; setting high standards for themselves and others. They strive always for honesty in their criticism of self, they respect discipline from above and demand it from those beneath them." I am known for my honest remarks, too honest, some say. I try not to lie to myself, and too often it leads to complete self-bashing. I am a perfectionist, and I strongly believe that what is worth doing is worth doing well.
" - - plan carefully to fulfill their ambitions - - " I always have a plan going on. A cunning plan, mind you.
" - - they are not always the most pleasant of work fellows for they are reserved and too conservative, valuing tradition more than innovation, however valuable the latter, and they are often humorless. There is also a tendency to pessimism, melancholy and even unhappiness." Though I am quite innovative and creative, I respect and value tradition a lot, too.
" - - can be surprisingly and suddenly witty and subtle for the quiet, reserved individuals they seem to be, and they also have a tendency to ruin things by unexpected and utterly irresponsible bouts of flippancy." Oh. Yes.
"Their intellects are sometimes very subtle. They think profoundly and deeply, throughly exploring all possibilities before deciding on a 'safe' alternative. They have good memories and an insatiable yet methodical desire for knowledge. They are rational, logical and clearheaded, have good concentration, delight in debate in which they can show off their cleverness by luring their adversaries into traps and confounding them with logic."
" - - somewhat self-centered but not excessively so, wary and cautious around people they do not know very well, preferring not to meddle with others and in turn not to allow interference with themselves, thus they tend to attract people who do not understand them." I do, however, think that I am excessively self-centered. I am introverted, too.
" - - faithful, though inclined to jealousy. Most Capricorns marry for life." I have never cheated in a relationship, but I usually am way too jealous to be happy. I never date for the mere sake of dating. To be with someone - for me, the entire point of that is to be prepared and willing to spend the rest of my life with that person. I am willing to work hard in order to achieve that, but on the other hand, I find it nearly impossible to become something I'm not. That's not the path I'm willing to take. It is an entirely different matter to work hard and to change self.
All my real idols have thus far been Capricorns - Jonathan Davis, Marilyn Manson and J.R.R. Tolkien.
My favorite character in the HP fandom is a Capricorn. I felt a connection to the character even before I knew his sign. (I'm talking about Snape.)
I get along with other Capricorns, better than with other signs.
