On a scale of 1 - 10 (with 1 being no impact and 10 being absolutely influential) how much does astrology play a role in your life???
Do you look for a mate based on star sign? Do you dismiss potential candidates based solely on their date of birth. Do you expect the newspaper predictions to happen?
I am a Capricorn in the regular Zodiac and a Water Tiger in the Chinese calendar. Does that matter to you or not in looking for a mate??

Remember, email is an inefficient communications forum. You may not read things the way it was intended. Give people the benefit of the doubt before firing back... Especially if it is ME...!

How timely... a friend of mine is currently doing my chart -- past, present and future. Based on what she has told me of my past, it's pretty damn accurate. It'll be interesting to read it once it's done.
As for the 12 signs in general and reading one's horoscope in the paper... nope. Unless it's Free Will.

I give it a 1. Interesting stuff that seems to fit my basic m.o., but I don't dismiss or seek out mates based on that. My gf and I communicate very well and seem to be on the same wave length every time we compare notes on likes, dislikes, values, intentions, etc, etc. I'm a Scorpio, she's an Aquarius, we're not supposed to be a good match. It's all about making mature decisions and working together.

Ditto on the 1. I believe in the influence of lunar and solar cycles on us as biological beings, but not as something that determines her personalities, propensities, and mating preferences based on our dates of birth.

Zero. I think Lazarus had something to say about this topic.

I have to agree with Walter and go with a big zero. Plus I know Lazarus (Long) had something to say about it.

Allow me to put this another way:
An astrologer tells you that to dive today would be dangerous for you, because the signs and portents and stars and so on do not bode well.
Do you not do the dive based on this?

What an astrologer does or does not say does not enter into the equation. Are the signs and portents high seas? thunderstorms? strong currents?

I also have to agree with Walter and Hawk. It is a big fat zero for me as well.

I'd give it a zero, too. Then again, I'm a Scorpio, and we Scorpios aren't superstitious.

As per Walter, ZERO. I used to teach astronomy, not astrology. I would NEVER consider ruling out a potential mate based on her astrological sign, just her hair color (hmmm... one of my current interests is a blonde Pisces, let me think about that).
I do occasionally read my horoscope (and especially liked today's... it kind of came true since The Weather Channel folks are buying some addition footage, of whales, per an e-mail today).

I don't know that I believe in astrology per se
I'm a Libra and my last boyfriend was Aquarius; my best friend is a Gemini; these are all air signs that supposedly get along great. For the most part, I'd agree with that
other than those examples, I'd say it is rather meaningless, unless you give it meaning

I would also put a 1. But looking at the previous girls not working out.... .
The weather and my attitude and the tide table are how I base my dive days, not the newspaper horoscope.
