It's usually shallow if you feel the need to ***** about 12 signs.

That's true, but what if it's personal experience? You are then just speaking of the negative in your observations of them.

I mean, it's not like I just tore up one sign.
I personally think I was pretty fair with them.

That isn't like me.

Even you asked if I wrote that, lol.

I don't know, I kinda just decided to do it, oh well. The truth is the truth I guess.

But nah, I'm sure everyone already listed the stereotypes anyway. So yeah, there is no point in doing it.


But yeah, Summerlite made me feel bad about doing it, so.
I mean, it's not like she ever criticized any sign...

Welllll, this is true of me. I'm not all that adventurous and I'm fun, but not nearly as fun as Sag is described. I love to hang with fun people so they can entertain me.

I love being attached to my home. I'll go away for a few days but I'm always desperate to get back home. And then I need lots of time do decompress after being around people.

And yes. I'll go ballistic when I'm really mad. But I'll forget it in an hour. My poor mom has born the brunt of that many time. Poor mom...

I really don't understand why people are getting so butt hurt about this if they read the title. sigh.

My view from personal experience:

Aries: WAAY too impuslive. This can be fun and exciting at times but they have the tendency to royally **** up their lives by doing this. I have an Aries friend who buys plane tickets the second someone from another (doesn't matter if she never met them) state says let's hang

Taurus: Stubborn and hot headed, you'll just never know. They can go months or even years ignoring you and not talking to you for something you may have said or done and won't tell you why

Gemini: Wishy washy yappers. I've worked with Gemini's who get bored of their jobs and quit every two months

Cancer: I've personally seen the depressive side of quite a few Cancer's, some more drastic than others. I had a friend who self harmed every day, I know one who is a serious hoarder. she belongs on that show. And I have another friend who gets very depressed when he's single.

Leo: Yes, we can be huge arrogant ******** who think they know everything and are better than everyone.

Virgo: Nitpicky, hypercritical of themselves and others, some can honestly be clean freaks even though many arent.

Libra: Try to please everyone which can come off two faced, indecisive, sometimes manipulative and passive agressive.

Scorpio: There is a pattern in all of my Scorpio friends. The minute any of them get a boyfriend/girlfriend they stop talking to their friends and act like they don't matter.

Sagittarius: Extremely blunt even when they aren't asked for their opinion, some have a hard time listening to people... it seems as if things go in one ear and right out the other.

Capricorn: I only know two cappys and they're pretty levelheaded, to the point of annoyance. Don't expect a shoulder to cry on.

Aquarius: Offended by anything that may or may not slight their intelligence. Airheads.

Pisces: Head in the clouds! It's hard for me to say bad things about Pisces because I love them so much. They're super nice but when they do get mad they can just make things up and put words in your mouth. Quite annoying.


My Libra Mars is making me not want to hit post. don't hate me. ~hides~

Erghh. Jeez, okay. I'll post on this thread.
<succumbs to peer pressure>

Fine.

Aries: Here today, gone tomorrow. One minute you're hanging out, the next minute they forgot you exist.

Taurus: Competitive, bossy, will try to make others look bad to make themselves look good.

Gemini: Emotionally vapid, need to surround themselves with people who are less informed than they are so that they can look good to themselves.

Cancer: Overly defensive, back-stabby, paranoid.

Leo: Arrogant, stubborn, will not accept advice or constructive criticism, shallow.

Virgo: Self-righteous know-it-alls. Pursed lippped clucking hens.

Libras: Flaky socialites with no loyalty.

Scorpios: Mortally offended by the weirdest of slights, which apparently justifies slander and severance of all communications. Example: I prefer beef franks when you prefer Tofurkey. The friendship has officially been irretrievably soiled.

Sagittarius: Head in the clouds. No grounding whatsoever, whether it be wife, husband, family, children, etc. When they say nothing will tie them down, they mean it for better or worse. Irresponsible. Agro.

Capricorn: Money hoarding, status seeking. No feelings, because it gets in the way of the status and money-making. Repress all spiritual and altruistic thoughts.

Aquarius: I care about you, but only in theory. Conceptually, I care about the wellfare of ALL. On a personal level, it's not my problem. Also...romantically, people are interesting as human beings. That's about it. And don't try to challenge my beliefs, because I'm right even when I'm wrong.

Pisces: Depressed, self-loathing, self-destructive, in their own world of dark, stagnant waters. Glamorizing self-destruction, drug addled lost souls who reject reality.

Disclaimer:

These are not my thoughts about every person with these Sun signs. Also, I have at least one planet/point in each sign, so I am not exempt.

You may also refer to my response in the POSITIVE thread about Sun sign stereotypes.

Yay, Astro Flamefest!

Okay, these are obviously the absolute worst case scenarios, but based on people I have known. We salute those who are about to be hated on!

Aries: The Aries I know have a tendency to be disconnected from reality. They are fully aware that reality is happening; they just make up their own rules. These rules tend to revolve around facilitating their ability to be impulsive. When their actions hurt others, they are completely dumbfounded. Why is that person acting so mean to them? The laws of nature were plain and obvious... obviously that person had something fundamentally wrong with them. Tend to believe adamantly in ideas that sound good, rather than completely thinking about the full implications of believing in those ideas. An example of this would be: Refusing to move in with a girlfriend because of the religious opinion of living together out of wedlock/ also in no way hesitant about having lots and lots of sex with said girlfriend.

Taurus: The Taurians I know want people to like them, but after knowing them, can make liking them difficult. They are high maintenance regarding minuscule comforts and can be as dramatic as Leo when forced to give up more than they want. If they feel you owe them something (which chances are...they do), they will not tell you. Instead while you talk, they will pose against a wall in a way that alludes to the direction of your debt, glance over at it occasionally, or try to take it out of you in other ways (>cough< sex). In some cases, they may hang your debt over your head as a way to keep you around.

Geminis: Let’s face it guys, you are freaking mean. You get off on treating others like crap and stealing their stuff while they are out making you lunch. After paying attention to one thing for too long Gemini starts to imagine ways to dismantle, traumatize, mess with, or otherwise harm whatever they are looking at. In Gemini’s defense, they may actually not know they are a jerk...seriously... The jury is still out on this one. Because your bad side is the only one paying attention to your bad deeds (him and everyone who has known you longer than 3 months), and your good side is only paying attention to your good deeds. When confronted, your bad twin cowers behind your good twin, who stands in defense with every possible rebuttal. Nobody is fooled.. You are obviously a flaming sadist.

Cancer: For being associated with motherhood, Cancers are obnoxiously selfish. They will do things like pinch weed from a sack they hooked you up with, knowing full well you will smoke most of the sack with them; Eat most of your french-fries on their way back from a lunch run and blame it on the restaurant; or avoid helping if they think it is expected of them. They even plot against some of their closest friends. Cancers attract people with narcotic warmth and then withhold their warmth as a method for keeping people interested in them. This sign can also mistake the concept "I'm just doing ME", for being a complete social trash bag. Emotionally unpredictable, blacks out when angry, wakes up with blood under their nails and sand in their shoes.

Leo: Actually believes you have no capacity for fathoming what they are going through. This becomes apparent after they drive the conversation back to the topic of their woes 50 times. Make reservations and then tell them dinner is an hour earlier.... that way you will only be a half hour late. Get mad at them for always being late; expect to not talk to them for a week. Holds grudges, acts like being thoughtful is martyrdom, tries to play their mistakes off as triumphs, makes stupid decisions in order to avoid feeling stupid.

Virgo: Gullible, overly simplistic, thinks the ability to recognize their own flaws somehow gives them carte blanche to judge the flaws of others. As paranoid as Pisces, but feels justified, because their neurosis is less about the bogeyman eating them and more about all the ways they could contract a flesh-eating disease. Obsessive about fixing things, even when not motivated to fix anything. Adamant about views based on a limited perspective. Knowing your flaws exist, is not actually accepting them.

Libra: Will judge people based on a single interaction. Only genuinely nice to people who they think deserve it. Can be terrible gossips and instigators of drama. Can be delusional about their own skills and assets. Flirt with good people without actually sealing the deal, then leave with someone who makes them cry quietly in the bathroom after sex. Chronically ashamed and occasionally overcompensate by being obnoxiously unabashed. Don't process their issues well; instead they let an issue float around in their head until they are desensitized to it. Make poor decisions based on shallow desires.

Scorpio: Intentionally unpleasant. Blames others for personal problems, paranoid about other’s intentions, convinced their isolation is sexy and not cowardice. Will have sex with gross people.... cause, sex. Emotionally confused, but believes the contrary. Bury their issues or take their issues out on others, instead of resolving them in healthy ways. Their issues become defining factors of their social identity. Attract interest from others by sharing absolutely nothing about their selves. Gives exactly zero f***s, because they used them all up in childhood.

Sagittarius: Loud, convinced you are going to just love their 30 min. story, snobs, will insult people to their faces and then laugh. Smart enough to win a game of trivia, but too intellectually “eclectic” to actually maintain employment. Told once by their spirit animal, they were special. Now they travel from couch to couch sharing their awesomeness with others. Fight it all you want... they are right. They have been practicing every way to convince you they are right since their parents first said, "No". Will also screw pretty much anything, and then attempt to treat the resulting STI with hard liquor. Tend to romantically be, exactly the opposite of what they advertise.

Capricorn: False, insecure, and compensates fear of failure with elitism. Into creepy sexual stuff. Torture others in order to make their selves feel superior. Like their lovers like they like their cars affordable, small, boxy, safe, and without many miles. Gravitate toward people who will benefit their plans in some way. Caps can lack a connection with the world around them and then make social decisions without actually taking the humanity of others into account. They can be annoyingly slow and throw a fit when others mention their lack of understanding. Love things that can’t reject them like money, or the pet amputee they keep in the box under their bed.

Aquarius: Reality is a canvas upon which Aquarius paints their life... and you sir, require a mustache and jaunty cap! Shout all you want, Aquarius will be genuinely surprised when they finally notice you begging them to stop standing on your toe. It's not that they were spacing out and neglected to notice, it's just, you didn't matter until just now... so... that's a thing. Are you a young professional with a good education, well-formed opinions, and a genuine desire to do good in the world? Fantastic, cause Aquarius wants to date you. Don’t break up with him though, unless you want to be remembered as that really great girl who did all these cruel (and incidentally imaginary) things to ruin his life. Did I mention Aquarius's best friend is a unicorn-shark named jack? Who sometimes tells the Aquarius to do bad things? But Aquarius doesn't listen....every time. Oh, the world is so much more interesting when Aquarius is the author, don't you think? Wait...don't tell me! Let's just imagine you agree. PS: Let’s have sex (random stranger), because the imaginary sex Aquarius had with you 5 min. ago was amaze balls! PPS: the reality version of that sex... Not as good #sorrynotsorry =)

Pisces: Wants to be loved unconditionally, simultaneously thinks there is something wrong with you for loving them unconditionally. Puppet-master-manipulator extraordinaire. Danger wh0re. Will sleep with someone for drugs, or an opportunity to steal their wallet. Secretly crazy and capable of causing serious harm when pushed over the edge. Gets off feeding mice to snakes and people to wolverines. Organizes elaborate scenarios in order to maintain control, without appearing in control. Refusal to be a pawn in their emotional games reveals a complex emotional selfishness. Paranoid to the point of total delusion, believes aliens and/or the government, and/or the Masons are coming to steal their drugs. Intentionally ignorant. Owns a fast food chain called Los Pollos Hermanos.

Ha ha this is so me. Yeah I didn't think us Sag were known for having a short fuse, well not if you go by descriptions on the net. Any Sag I know can lose the plot quite easily.

Also just have to say that Leos are not all that either. They're only nice to people they are trying to impress and once they do they turn into another person. And God forbid you don't tell them they are wonderful every minute of the day

Lol at all of these but especially the Scorpio one.
I once told my Scorpy friend that I didn't like pop music as much as she did and she brought it up at least three times after that. She was so insulted lol

You probably only have bad experiences with 3 stereotypical signs which you feel strongly about. You had to write the other 9 signs to balance yourself out. That's why it's shallow observation.

And that's what Libras do. Seen it too many times.
