What of those who knew nothing of their birth sign or the meaning of their name, until they were much older; or even, completely disagreed until certain circumstances changed?
How many people in the west indentify with the Chinese zodiac? Not many until they saw what it meant to be born under the year of this or that because it was written in such a complementary way.
quote:
Horse people are active and energetic. They got plenty of sex-appeal and know how to dress. Horses love to be in the crowd, maybe that is why they can usually be seen in such occasions like concerts, theaters, meetings, sporting occasions, and of course, parties.
The horse is very quick-witted and is right in there with you before you have had the chance to finish what you are saying: he's on to the thought in your mind even before you've expressed it. In general, the Horse is gifted. But in truth he is really more cunning than intelligent - and he knows that. That is probably why, most of the horse people lack confidence.
Chinese believe that because horses are born to race or travel, all Horse people invariably leave home young. The Horse despises being pressured to act for the good of the group or made to feel guilty. No matter how integrated he seems to be, a Horse's inner self remains powerfully rebellious. Although they have boundless energy and ambition, Horses have a hard time belonging.
The Horse is hot-blooded, hot-headed and impatient. He is a bit of an egoist, well, selfish sometimes, that it is rare for him to interest himself in any problems except his own. And though this egoist works only for himself and for his own success, his work nevertheless benefits everybody.
The Horse is a worker, adepts at handling money and a good financier. But unfortunately, he is also famous for suddenly losing interest on something. In his relationship with opposite sex, the Horse is weak. He will give up everything for love.
Being born a Horse, there are many contradictions in his character. Horses are proud yet sweet-natured, arrogant yet oddly modest in their approach to love, envious but tolerant, conceited yet humble. They want to belong, yet they are burdened by their need for independence. They need love and crave intimacy yet often feel cornered, pressured. But the truth is, the Horse is an individual, who depends only on his wits and his labor to get what he wants.
After reading the first couple of lines of that I'd love to be a horse, interesting though that some of it contradicts with typical Libra traits, I'm also a Libra so who is right? The fact the different systems have such an overlap in who is what according to the dates means that they don't support one another at all since you could be a horse or other creature and also various distinctly different star signs of the western zodiac.

People should have the truly blank page in terms of how their character develops without being told otherwise through star signs and what not.quote:
Seems like mission impossible, considering parental and environmental influences.
Yes it depends on a lot of factors but some factors can easily be removed from the equation.
quote:
Otherwise they’ll just justify their character flaws as a reflection of their star sign stating inability to change them.
quote:
There is an up side and a down side to any character trait; I found my investigations to be very useful in identifying and strenghing weaknesses. Though, admittedly, I looked into myself much further then just my sun sign.
Yes but people need a self critical attitude or they'll just take the positives and ignore the negatives, meaning no room for improvement. I'd hazard a guess that if you see yourself as having certain traits good and bad that simply means you can recognise who you are better than some other people regardless of if those traits agree or disagree with superstition. When I compare myself to other people I am looking at what we have in common and what we don't which means I am looking at who I am not just who the other person is. This is all that looking into your star sign does, it makes you reflect on who you are.
