It might sound like a stupid idea,but in an attempt to (try)understand myself and interest in this sort of stuff,I wondered if the star signs have any influence.Myself being a scorpio,and a few others I have known of the same star sign(sun sign?)being interested in the same.Is there a common thread in this?would anyone like to perhaps suggest any thoughts on the matter.what is the star sign of the majority on here?

Scorpios usually like delving into the mysteries of life. Have you ever had your whole chart done?

Double Scorpio (Sun & ascendent), Moon in aries and just to confuse folks (Because Scorpios are 'supposed' to be somewhat more laconic than I) Mercury in Sagitarius.

Ah, despite the fact c is a scorpio, and we're very much in love, may I just say to the general public,

STAY THE KUCF AWAY FROM SCORPIOS!!!!

The reason that Taureans don't have personalities is that the Scorpios are hogging them all!
I'm constantly drawn to the high energy of their character, but then ultimately wrecked by them.
Navel gazing, quick tempered and viscious. (prepares to be flamed by all the scorpios who feel insulted, though that won't really disprove the point will it).


for comparitive purposes, I'm a fire dragon sagitarius, scorpio lunar.

Yes you should stay away from Us Scorpios

Beneath a controlled, cool exterior beats the heart of the deeply intense Scorpion. Passionate, penetrating, and determined, this sign will probe until they reach the truth. The Scorpion may not speak volumes or show their emotions readily, yet rest assured there's an enormous amount of activity happening beneath the surface. Excellent leaders, the Scorpion is always aware. When it comes to resourcefulness, this sign comes out ahead.
Friends and Family
Sincerity and truth are strong components of the Scorpion's friends. It can take some time before really close bonds are formed, but once done, the Scorpion will remain dedicated and loyal. Witty and intellectual, they prefer companions who are humorous and easygoing. Full of surprises, this sign will give you the shirt off their backs if that's what you need; yet, once they are crossed, there's no turning back. They feel deeply, and once hurt, it can be impossible to turn things around. Commitment to family is strong and consistent with the Scorpion. They are exceptionally helpful in managing affairs, and they are excellent advocates when one is needed.
Career and Money
"I desire" is the key phrase for the Scorpion. They are fantastic at managing, solving, or creating. Once the Scorpion sets their sights on a goal, there's no deterring this sign. Tasks that require a scientific, penetrating approach are always best done by the Scorpion, as they will delve deeply into the materials they have. Their ability to focus, coupled with determination, makes for strong management skills. They're not ones to worry about making friends on the job scene; rather, they prefer to see the task accomplished well.
Pursuing such careers as a scientist, doctor, investigator, navigator, detective, researcher, police officer, business manager, and psychologist all suit the mighty Scorpion. Respect is an essential aspect of working for this sign. They need to respect their coworkers, while also feeling a sense of being respected by others.
Disciplined enough to stick to a budget and unafraid of working as hard and as long as it takes puts the Scorpion in a good financial position. Many are fortunate and inherit money. Whatever the case - and regardless of the balance - they are great managers of their dollars and are not apt to overspend at all. Money means security and a sense of control, which is important to the Scorpion. Therefore, they're going to hang onto the majority of the cash, making decisions carefully before turning any of it over.
Love and Sex
This is the strongest of the sexualities in the zodiac. Incredibly passionate, the Scorpion takes intimacy seriously. Partners need to be intelligent and honest. Much of the foreplay for this sign happens long before the bedroom through conversation and observation. Once in love, they are devoted and loyal to the death. But relationships can take some time. The Scorpion needs to build trust and respect for a potential mate slowly and thoroughly.
SCORPIO TIDBITS
Scorpio Birthdays
October 23 - November 21
Health
Each sign has a part of the anatomy attached to it, making this the area of the body that is most sensitive to stimulation. The anatomical areas for Scorpio are the genitals, bladder, rectum, and the reproductive organs.
Ruling Planet
The ruling planet for Scorpio is Pluto. Traditionally, this planet rules that which is hidden from view. It also represents conception, birth and death, slow growth, generation, regeneration, unpopular causes, anonymity, phobias, and the exposition of secrets.
Colors
The colors of choice for Scorpio are dark red to maroon.
Gemstone
Scorpio's star stone is the opal.
Lucky Numbers
Scorpio's lucky numbers are 2, 7, and 9.
Compatibility
Scorpions are most compatible with Pisces and Cancer.
Opposite Sign
The opposite sign of Scorpio is Taurus.
The Perfect Gift
The best gifts for a Scorpio are sentimental choices, clothing (especially something sexy), and non-fiction books.
Likes
Truth, facts, flirtation, long-time friends
Dislikes
The superficial, flattery, shallow people, being taken advantage of
House
Natural sign of the Eighth House. This house focuses on sex, taxes, death and rebirth, a partner's resources, inheritance, and regeneration.
Famous Scorpios
Carl Sagan, Jody Foster, Indira Gandhi, Prince Charles and Grace Kelly

I know we're suppose to avoid each other as far as Chinese Zodiac goes.  Dog and Dragon.  Just wondered about the other. Thanks for the info.

Well I never,I did not think this would generate such interest.In answer to slavejali,no I have not had my chart done,perhaps I should.As for the very informative piece by SirDiscipliner69,likely profesions,I am an electro-mechanical mechanic and craftsman,the former being investigative in a way.I did look into the chinese zodiac,from what I could discern,I am a goat,where that fits in I don,t know.I am open minded on all this sort of stuff,primarily because the scientists do not know everything yet.

And another thing,looking at SirDiscipliners piece,the birth stone of opal,this would be my choice,because of the changeable fire within the stone,but I have seen other stones which are supposed to symbolise the scorpio.I am currently making simple silver rings set with a birthstone for friends and relatives.I have never made one for myself,primarily because of not finding the definitive stone.I did think of hemetite,because i like it's depth and being of iron,is linked to scorpio.I will either do that or make one of those quagmyr things.

I only received the "What sign are you" by a screaming queen with his brain stuck in 1973
I said "No Entry"

ps. I didn't mean to lie about my age. It's Snake, not dragon. c's mum calls me XiaoLong, so it gets a little confusing.

in order to call oneself “a” specific and particular sign, one must have been born on a specific day, time and location where ALL of the planets, sun and moon are in that ONE sign. so far, this slave has not met ANYONE who this is true for, so those that say "i'm a taurus" because they were born in may when the sun was in that sign are not speaking with much knowledge about their horoscope and therefore the cute little daily astrology section of the newspaper is not going to apply to you, them, or anyone else for that matter.
 
Where the planets, sun and moon are in your chart and in relation to one another is more important than merely the sun's position by itself.

Here is a short list of the planets, sun and moon and the aspects of one's self that each one corresponds to:

Moon: emotions, habits, memory, the past, heritage
Mercury: mental faculties, ability to communicate
Venus: the ability to make adjustments, harmony, beauty, the arts
Sun: the will, ego, personal identity, vitality, hope, creativity, authority
Mars: animal instinct, energy & drive, courage, impulse, sexuality, force
Jupiter: optimism, ability to grow & expand in consciousness, luck, wealth, hope
Saturn: wisdom, fear, inhibitions, apprehension, mastery, excellence, status
Uranus: freedom, detachment, intuition, future expectations, innovation, brotherhood
Neptune: mysticism, sacrifice, guilt, uncertainty, anxiety, the unknown
Pluto: the ability to regenerate, transform, evolve, the power to sustain

Consulting an astrologer like the one Mrs. Reagan went to and reading a short blurb from the newspaper centered on your sun sign alone are two different things. this slave has consulted astrology, by educating herself about it, with positive results and this slave pays no attention whatsoever to the little blurbs in the paper directed at a generic sun sign...it just isn't specific enough given the variables involved with the ancient forms of astrology that predate the newspaper column version.

the practice of astrology, eastern or western, has an interesting history. this slave's experience has been that it is a mix of early psychology and nature worship, or belief in a particular grand design to the universe.

if you are genuinely interested in what a horoscope reading entails, this slave would suggest reading anything by astrologer Linda Goodman. it is relatively cheap or free to have a chart drawn for you specific to YOU, you need your birthdate, place and time of birth. it is free here:
http://www.alabe.com/freechart/ the interpretation of your chart however, should be done by a competent astrologer, or educate yourself and interpret it yourself. all it costs is time spent and an open mind.
