Well, this is surely a fun thing to do. Alot of times I do this with people I don't know and they are always suprised when I guess correctly... which is about 80% of the time

I would have to say that sometimes I know a person's sign just by a telltale physical attribute. For instance, I have guessed Leo's by their hair.... but, I would say that this is not the most reliable method. In my opinion it is easier when you get to watch somebody for awhile first, as in your case. I try to see past any rising sign influence, which I notice is what your first impression of someone can be alot of the time. That is why I like to wait and see a bit before trying to pin it down. The Sun is strong and eventually it will overtake the rising influence!

With that said, my most successful process to figure out a persons sign is to go step by step. Try the following and see what you come up with for your colleague...

1) Try to figure the ELEMENT. (Is he watery, fiery, airy, or earthy?)

2) Next, decide what quality of element it is... Cardinal, Mutable or Fixed.

3) If that doesn't give it to you, you could also then determine if the forces are positive or negative.

That should give you the answer. But, you may come up with 2 or 3 possibilities, then you just have to decide which is strongest...don't go with the one that he shows when someone first meets him though. I always have trouble picking out a Pisces man. They are so chameleon-like. I am a Pisces female so that could be it too... I've heard it's hard to recognize your own sign. Anyway, hope it helps!

Honestly though, he may be a Taurus... but I think you might think that already and maybe I'm just being influenced by that I like Taurus's alot.... they are just high maintenence! But why do you say "not Aries"? Is it because of the social thing?

Well, take care...

Morning storm may be quite right on the physical characteristics....i aint really that good. But i know for sure that such patience and tenacity is a taurean characteristic....actually they can also be called stubborn.A lot of them find it difficult to say sorry. And yes...does he have a taste for luxury...like may be knack for good food or mabbe his place of sitting is stacked with things of his comfort.Also see if he thinks quite a lot before throwing stuff. I am sure even if this guy is not taurean...he has a strong taurus influence.
I hope u catch him this time

Good luck

I cant tell u what they like in ppl. But they like comfort and security in general. If they associate anyone with it ,they like those ppl.They like good food.I think they are attracted to ppl who are more energetic and bubbly. But they dont like ppl who try and rush them.They want things going at the pace at which they feel comfy.

If i remember anything else ill tell ya later

i was actually thinking (Agreeing with Pearly) that your man was a Taurus - however here are a few problems... Taureans rarely if ever (As a general rule) like gambling. They are usually very careful with their money and see gambling as 'risky'...

As for the appearance thing… I agree that some physical characteristics can help work out a persons sun sign (Leo hair is a classic But I look nothing like a Taurus (And my moon/rising and moon are in Taurus). I know a few Taurus sun sign people who are tall – and many Taurean women are conscious of their weight so do not appear ‘chunky’.

Its good to discuss these things – and its great fun to try and guess a person’s sun sign – I’m just offering some advice from a Taureans perspective

Love and Light to you all – good luck with the guessing

On that note: do ya'll agree with LG's description of a person's Sun as being about 80% (or was it 70%?) - 90% accurate? What have been your observations?

My dads a taurus...and everything u told abt the guy just reminded me of him.

I said that taureans themselves dont like too much activity going with them involved but they dont mind having bubbly ppl around...it kindda adds color to their normally dull lives.But always be in their good books only and never make a joke on them.
I hope i am making some sense here !!

So what effect would just the Gem Venus have on a Taurus guy?

No offence taken with the multiple Taurus comment (Maybe a little... ) But to tell you the truth i myself (being a triple Taurus) HAVE noticed that more than the odd few Taureans have the tendency to lie and be manipulative. Perhaps the manipulative streak (Possibly the lying tendency as well)is due to the Taurean tendency to be possessive (And manipulation is just a extreme form of it?) Who knows?

But what i was planning on saying was that there's an occasional worm in every apple - regardless of their astrological composition...

sVirgo - i would think that Virgos and Taureans would be good together because Taureans are usually (very!) sensitive and like to be cared for as well

All the best

He had a lot of problems with manipulating people and lying; much of it probably came from his background, but it could also be the negative traits of his sign coming out. And he absolutely HAD to make friends with everyone he met. Whether they wanted to be his friend or not! He often tried too hard and wound up driving people away. Seemed to be an insecurity issue, or at least that's how I perceived it. He would go out of his way to help out anyone...very generous in that respect, but again, I think it stemmed from the fact that he could not stand to have anyone dislike him. Yet he never had a *best* friend; everyone was always 'just a friend' to him. Problem was, his desire to have everyone like him extended to wanting others like him in *every* way....extracurricular women were a big part of his life. (Which didn't really sit too well with me at the time....:rolleyes

He also used to love surrounding himself with *things*...always buying stuff, lavish items that he couldn't really afford. And he hated criticism - the least little comment could get him very upset...and of course, me being a Virgo, well....

Oh, and he's quite tall too....6'1"....

hehe, i pick on my boyfriend (taurus moon and jupiter) sometimes and say,

"you know that all this stuff is a fire hazard right?"

i agree with swan song about the compulsive need for *things* . . . aka junk really, useless and tasteless things some taureans get into buying, even when they haven't got much in their pockets to begin with. i've got white bunny rabbit stuffed animal with huge fangs to prove it (or the plastic pig with battery operated wings . . . taurean humor *sighs* hehe).

but my favorite present was a mini portrait he cut himself to fit into a heart shaped bronze frame for valentine's day. i forgave him for the rabbit and pig.

In my experience, Virgo-Taurus is a grand combination full of ups and downs, the Virgo-girl Taurus-guy combo is pretty hazardous but apart from that things seem to be fairly OK.
Personally my best friend is a Virgo and I'm sharing her with a lot of other people without much heart-ache.
Agreed, it was a lesson to learn, but overall, you all seem to forget to mention the good side of us!
