"Cannot believe folk fall for this crap seriously if someone is a nice person or indeed a nutter its sod all to do with when born. You miss the point I am not saying people of other star signs are decent or not I am talking compatibility" Yes and it can be illustrated there is no statistical correlation between when a person was born and their personality There is a vast array of research on non identical twins for example one study is the surprising number who have polar opposite personalities A snippet of research and there is loads more xx From www.astrology-and-science.com 16m 6g 68kb Home Fast-Find Index Love signs Fail world's largest tests (N=27m) Geoffrey Dean Abstract -- Three recent studies (Sachs 1998, Castille 2004, Voas 2007) with a combined sample size of 27 million couples have failed to find the slightest evidence for sun sign effects, thus confirming the results of earlier studies (which are briefly reviewed). Studies of sun sign compatibility largely avoid the problems that plague the testing of individual signs, namely those due to demography (depending on place and country some months have more births than others) and astronomy (due to the Earth's elliptical orbit some signs have more days than others), which here generally cancel out. We follow the tests in some detail to see how huge samples can tease out apparent astrological effects only to find them explained by recording bias and other glitches in the data. Despite the giant magnifying glass of huge samples, no sun sign effects could be detected. Interestingly, many studies have shown that sun sign self-attribution has a tiny effect size typically around 0.08, showing that some people have sufficient belief in sun signs to shift their self-image in the believed direction, albeit only slightly. But the same belief seems to have no effect when picking a partner (effect size 0.000,001), showing that such beliefs may shift their own self-image but not the actual behaviour of others. That is, even for them, the real world always prevails over astrology world. In short, lonely hearts (and anybody else including astrologers) who worry about sun signs (and by extension astrology itself) are absolutely wasting their time. Married couples tend to be similar in many ways including age, height, education, social class, and attractiveness. The effect sizes can be substantial, for example bright men prefer bright women And Conclusion These three studies (by respectively Sachs, Castille and Voas) are the largest tests of sun sign astrology ever undertaken. After allowing for response and procedural biasses, the distribution of spousal birthdays is as close to random as one is likely to find in a real-world situation. Voas concludes as follows: "Astrologers are likely to complain that full birth charts are needed to predict personality accurately. There are two responses. First, to the extent that astrology has influenced everyday belief, it is almost entirely through the use of sun signs; if those were seen as useless when it comes to assessing personality and romantic compatibility, then astrology would lose its hold on the public imagination. Secondly, the basic signs are important even in professional charts. If they had any direct influence, however small, the giant magnifying glass of this huge sample would reveal it. No effects can be detected. "The only remaining defence is that sun signs mean nothing on their own. [However] such a claim would mean that no generalizations about sun signs could be true. Virtually all astrologers, however, make statements about the supposed influence of different elements of a chart, including the sun sign." In short, lonely hearts (and anybody else including astrologers) who worry about sun signs (and by extension astrology itself) are absolutely wasting their time. Nevertheless sun sign astrology is unlikely to go away, simply because there is a huge commercial profit to be made from its continued existence, along with wide ignorance of how to judge its claims. | |||

We follow the tests in some detail to see how huge samples can tease out apparent astrological effects only to find them explained by recording bias and other glitches in the data. Despite the giant magnifying glass of huge samples, no sun sign effects could be detected. Interestingly, many studies have shown that sun sign self-attribution has a tiny effect size typically around 0.08, showing that some people have sufficient belief in sun signs to shift their self-image in the believed direction, albeit only slightly. But the same belief seems to have no effect when picking a partner (effect size 0.000,001), showing that such beliefs may shift their own self-image but not the actual behaviour of others. That is, even for them, the real world always prevails over astrology world. In short, lonely hearts (and anybody else including astrologers) who worry about sun signs (and by extension astrology itself) are absolutely wasting their time. Married couples tend to be similar in many ways including age, height, education, social class, and attractiveness. The effect sizes can be substantial, for example bright men prefer bright women And Conclusion These three studies (by respectively Sachs, Castille and Voas) are the largest tests of sun sign astrology ever undertaken. After allowing for response and procedural biasses, the distribution of spousal birthdays is as close to random as one is likely to find in a real-world situation. Voas concludes as follows: "Astrologers are likely to complain that full birth charts are needed to predict personality accurately. There are two responses. First, to the extent that astrology has influenced everyday belief, it is almost entirely through the use of sun signs; if those were seen as useless when it comes to assessing personality and romantic compatibility, then astrology would lose its hold on the public imagination. Secondly, the basic signs are important even in professional charts. If they had any direct influence, however small, the giant magnifying glass of this huge sample would reveal it. No effects can be detected. "The only remaining defence is that sun signs mean nothing on their own. [However] such a claim would mean that no generalizations about sun signs could be true. Virtually all astrologers, however, make statements about the supposed influence of different elements of a chart, including the sun sign." In short, lonely hearts (and anybody else including astrologers) who worry about sun signs (and by extension astrology itself) are absolutely wasting their time. Nevertheless sun sign astrology is unlikely to go away, simply because there is a huge commercial profit to be made from its continued existence, along with wide ignorance of how to judge its claims. " Research tells you anything butter is bad for you or red meat is bad for you but we all still do it. It is ones beleifs | |||

Research tells you anything butter is bad for you or red meat is bad for you but we all still do it. It is ones beleifs " Yhat's why a meta-analysis will provide the more statistically significant results, rather than cherry picking something, somewhere that suits one position, such as butter/red meat being good or bad. There does not appear to be any significance of star sign compatibility etc, based on comprehensive analyses run in this way. I am biased, and like to point this out, as my beliefs concur with there being no influence from the planets.stars or astrology upon our personalities nor relationship compatibilities. I would be influenced by meaningful evidence to the contrary - it just doesn't seem to exist. | |||

"I dont really believe in them. However, all 3 of my long term relationships were with capricorns and each one was a selfish cunt so I would try and avoid ever getting involved with another Capricorn I think " A star sign doesn't make you selfish or a cunt they clearly were both of those things regardless! | |||

And they were all problematic relationships..." 3 lol only 3 , Forgive me but you may find selfish is rather a common human trait that is often hilighted regarding certain members fab and I don't think they are all Capricorn Let's face it labeling all Capricorn men as selfish, which the comment "I would try and avoid ever getting involved with another Capricorn" implies It Is equally as ignorant as saying that because you catch a black man steeling from your shop you will ban all men of such appearance All one knows for sure about a Capricorn man is They are male and have birthdate between Dec 22 and Jan 19 that's it no more the rest would be no more than wild baseless speculation . Occasionally one may guess right more often if we use the Barnham principles | |||

"When we got engaged we were given a star sign compatibility book. I don't think they had read it through first because leafing through the pages of whom gets on with whom and how well we got to Taurus and Taurus, we are six hours apart,and its advice was short and to the point, it said "Don't bother ". That was nearly twenty eight years ago, twenty seventh wedding anniversary next month. " Aparantly it is not considered harmful or worthy of concern that some people would make major decisions based upon exceptionally questionable advice from a vastly more questionable variety of sources and not all could could tick the box credible. | |||

"I'm a deist (not an atheist or agnostic), I don't believe in horoscopes, mediums, feng shui, crystals, ghosts, and don't practice yoga or anything like that." Horoscopes are very different to starsign traits.. You don't believe in any of the above, but believe all humankind will end up living on Mars thousands of years from now - you said this on another forum a week so ago Sarah x | |||
