I too have found that a majority of the peole really enjoy talking about their sign. Astrology really is gathering a greater amount of interest all the time I think.

It is hard sometimes though, when you come across a person that is a staunch disbeliever and takes it upon themselves to ridicule you for believing in it. I can't stand that and usually end up in a heated debate or I just walk away. It's either one or the other. No middle for me.

Anyhow, I usually try to have some sort of conversation where I learn something about the person before I pop the question. But if I'm feeling impatient, like a Sag often does, I just straight up ask right off the bat.

Sometimes, it'll come out in passing, like I'll say "yeah, he's such true Scorpio" and they'll go, "oh, your into that stuff, hey?" and I'll go, "yeah, well sorta...why, what sign are YOU?" I don't like to let on just HOW into astrology I am, because I've found that people get a little bit weirded out by my indepth knowledge of it (although, by my own standards, I'm still very green). Then, they seem to move me to into a different catagory in their minds...the "Appears to be Deceivingly Innocent and Harmless but is actually Trippy and Spooky" catagory, I guess (?)

I think it was Prox who once said, "Astrology is kinda like my porn or something. I enjoy it very much, but I'm still kind of embarressed to admit to it".

I must have missed that post. That's great.

usually they act like they do not care but then decide it's a perfect time to tell me all about themselves including the sign, which is fine because that's what I wanted anyway. The best kind of friend is one that gives first.

I have only had one person walk up to me and tell me her sign, that was a Cancer/Pisces rising/Gemini moon, she approached me and right away told me her sign and asked mine. Maybe 1 out of 5 doesn't say anything but ignores me, but then I wouldn't want to know that person anyway.

I found both of your contributions funny, as I can relate to them..... I don't understand why you said what do I mean.....
I laughed, it was funny.... I meant... hee hee.....? ! ? That's all, and I was referring to my lack of run-on sentances, when I said that is all I have to say, as it is unusual for me to not spout on and on, as I tend to ramble. ( like I am doing right now, for instance!) Nothing covert here, just, you know, found it humourous.....

Yeah, I usually just ask it, I can pretty much bet they'll think I'm a little wierd in no time at all anyway so there is no point in pretending I'm not interested in it.

I generaly just ask away, or I'll guess. I have found that I'm much better at guessing the Ascendant than the Sun Sign.

strange to come across a gloomy sag though... but I most of the times just ask people, or I start on the subject (most of the times I know the signs of quite some people around me ^^) by referring to others. "Hey, you know everyone's sign or what?" People mainly just wonder whether I'm interested in it or not, they already consider me "odd" so I can live with it ^_^.

Just ask (depending on the situation a bit), most people react well to it. 's Always fun to start discussing on it.
