I suppose that it is 'for fun' at any rate. After all, the thoughts the time of day and the alignment of the stars produces the people, or personalities that we tend to indulge in is a ludicrous notion in this era of science and knowledge.

Nonetheless, part of me - especially when I read my sister's Chinese astronomy book was touched; things as such do not often happen .. I felt that somehow someone understood me.

This book contained something rather unlike the listed traits found on the websites. It offered paragraphs on hypothetical human beings and talked about them in such a way that assumed that they existed. Moreover, it offered advice and pitfalls to watch for the said sign. It was a most reflective experience for me.

Empirically speaking, it's a 1/12 chance that I get a sign that shares mostly similar traits with my personality. Many of the traits do not apply, some can only apply somewhat. And none of it can be scientifically verified.

Perhaps in a strange way, even this scientific mind can be enriched with a bit of crystal hugging mysticsm.

CrescentLupin, this above book really really gets into the astrological part of it. Like all books, it gets very complex with tables, diagrams, calculations and perhaps even maps. It's quite intimidating. I never delved into it, as I have not even a passing interest.
