Are You Into Zodiac?

Definition: The term zodiac comes from Ancient Greek Zodiakos Kyklos and refers to a 'circle of the animals.'

The Zodiac consists of 12(twelve) different sun signs. Date of birth of a person determines which zodiac sign belongs to him. The signs of the Zodiac can give us great insights into our characteristics, personality traits, physical features, talents and special qualities we posses. You can find a great deal of relevant information/description about yourself through reading about your Zodiac sign. (source: Zodiac Signs Meanings)

Seriously. Are you one of those people who somehow checks on their daily, weekly, or even monthly horoscope? I must admit I used to do so daily. For me, it's just a form of entertainment and amusement. Sometimes the predictions don't mean anything at all. Other times it's plain ridiculous. ^_^ But yeah, I'm into zodiac somehow, mainly just to "get to know" myself more. After all, our signs are supposed to give us insights into who we are. I don't see anything wrong with knowing one's own weaknesses and strengths. It's what you do with that information that really counts. There are tons of sites about zodiac signs and meanings. I'd probably just quote one for my zodiac sign.

THE Zodiacal Sign of Gemini

The people who were born in this period are widely known for their dual personalities and ability to change mood from moment to moment. Although they hate to be tied down, they make lively, entertaining and romantic partners, even if they can be rather fickle if bored or unhappy.

The twin sides of their nature are perpetually pulling in opposite directions. Their brains are subtle and brilliant but they usually "lack continuity of purpose".

Of all people they are the most difficult to understand; in temperament they are hot and cold almost at the same moment. They love with one side of their nature and they are often critical or dislike with the other people. Their sharp wit and excellent powers of observation make them a good raconteur, although they have a tendency to exaggerate which can cause trouble with their relationships.

Such people are usually excellent in diplomacy, and dazzle their listeners by, their wit and brilliancy, but they usually leave them no wiser than they were at the start.

It is difficult even for them to understand what they want to achieve. At heart they are ambitious for social position; but when obtained they have already tired of it, and are ready to go in for something else or for something totally opposite. Being natural communicators these people do not suffer fools gladly; so once they are attracted to people, they have to ensure that they are not dull or mundane. They will no doubt spending ages chatting to anyone about every subject under the sun, just to keep feeding their ever active and inquisitive mind.

If taken as they are, in their own moods, they are the most delightful people imaginable, but one must not attempt to hold them or to expect them to be constant to their ideas or plans.

They believe they are truthful, constant, faithful, and so they may be at the moment, but every moment to them has a separate existence.

These people have an ability to see quickly the weak points in those they meet, and can reduce all to nothing by wit, sarcasm, or mimicry.

Almost all of them are great talkers and usually very much in demand socially because they are so entertaining. Gemini is the life of the party.

They often succeed the best, as far as money is concerned, but their more suitable career is generally that which requires diplomacy, tact, and finesse. The representatives of lower types are unscrupulous in finance and untruthful. They often make successful gamblers and company promoters of "get-rich-quick" schemes.

Either type make hosts of friends and are kind-hearted and generous to the person who fills their thoughts at the moment, but "out of sight, out of mind" explains their fits of "forgetfulness" as nothing else can.

In all matters of affection they are human puzzles. They can love passionately and yet be inconstant at the same moment, and it is only their shield of diplomacy and exquisite tact that keeps them from often making a mess of their lives. (source: GotoHoroscope)

I won't say I totally buy into everything that's been said about a "geminian." Perhaps I would agree with some, but definitely not all. We do carve our own future, right? Plus, we're all supposed to be individually unique. One's zodiac sign may be a good predictor of one's behavior and trait, but there must be something more that sets us apart from the rest. ^_^ So here's to another day of blogging. Don't forget to check out your horoscope before you head out! :D
