What about you guys, how do you initiate the convo?

I find subtle ways of finding out when people's birthdays are so I can have a good old astro-snoop. Most people don't know their time of birth here but sometimes they do. After they've had a few ales is always a good time. Chances are they will have forgotten next day. After all, there's no point having a secret snoop if they know about it, is there?

My ex-boyfriend (who said he didn´t believe in astrology, but he sure read my astrology books when I wasn´t around...) used to say to me at social gatherings: Hey, "Skybound" do your "party-piece"... and then the going got tough... he, he, he...

But I have noticed that astrology can indeed be a turn-off for some guys... you immediately sense the Witchofobic tendencies in the air... *lol*

Nowadays I can't care less if someone doesn´t share the same views about astrology as me – it´s their loss (while I´m having a great time! .

Although it buggs me to hear anti-astro beings defending their views that astrology is mumbo-jumbo without even having a clue about what the Ascendant is... if they put so much effort in putting pro-astrology people down and the knowledge of astrology, why not at least put some effort in learning about what they are fighting against/about.

Yeah, astrology …. soo very satanic isn´t it? Don´t we all have rituals dancing naked under the full moon in the forrests worshipping the devil before we get comfortable in front of our computors and get spell bound in front of an astro.com computorgenerated chart… or am I the only one?? *lol*

Some I have had discussions with have done it on religious ground, but those aren´t the worst – the worst are those who aren´t open to anything except their own existance and the way they look down on you as if you were stupid because you are open to astrology. I hate that… when they go quiet as if “ok, no use talking to you anymore dumb ass…”

I do respect other´s if they don´t “believe” in astrology – hey, it might even be meant that there should be a group of sceptics since it might be a pretty dangerous world out there if everybody did believe in it and it wasn´t used it a correct way… I mean I would for sure be out of a job if they only read my natal chart instead of my CV… (oh, jaysus…!) or kicked into a reahab center for life… (neptune´s influences looks quite hardhitting on paper!)…*lol*

Thats so typically geminish that I do it sometimes, but I keep it to myself more.

I enter a room take note of how people act then make a match to what sign they are based on the description.

Then I find comfirmation if I was right by finding out there Bday, and start going on with it.

example I just found out today that that flirty girl thats always in the lab is a Leo.

She's always in typical "Leo places on the weekends". So then I go on a say "Busy this weekend, that is so Leoish".

I did it when I was younger.

THen I realized it made people judge me and form an impression of me as some hippy or weirdo, which as a capricorn rising i am NOT ok with.

I ferret out their birthday stealthily and then put in the vault.

I may casually mention horoscopes to see their reaction. It really depends on the scenario though. I've noticed that young women tend to like to talk about astrology. WOmen in general are far more receptive. Women that seem super logical will proably be over it, but not always.
