The zodiacs

[Cornflower MM]

While I know some of us think these bogus (*Pokes at Galli*) I think the zodiacs and their meanings interesting. Anyone else?
The reason I'm thinking of this at the moment is that I ran across a Native American one, which I thought quite interesting. I'll put it in a spoiler in a moment.

There's several different kinds of zodiacs, but some are more familiar than others. We all know the Chinese one, for instance. (Or know of it. I'll hafta find one.)

Otter January 20 – February 18 (Aquarius)- The otter is skilled across the board and hard working, they get even the trickiest things done thanks to their artful and ingenious ways. They are also very expressive, clever, and do well in social settings.

Wolf February 19 – March 20 (Pisces)- The wolf is wild and driven, choosing to follow its instincts and heart above all else. They are canny, spiritual, and need the space and freedom to do their own thing, yet at the same time they thrive most when emotionally connected to others.

Falcon March 21 – April 19 (Aries)- The falcon is a knowledgeable leader that others turn to for help and advice. They are driven, somewhat impulsive, and energizing to be around. They can be stoic which makes them come off as uncaring in a sense, but they're anything but that.

Beaver April 20 – May 20 (Taurus)- Beavers are hard working, industrious, and serious. They set goals, get them done, and move quickly on to whatever is next on their list. It's not all work and no play, they do have a deeper philosophical side and are extremely passionate about the things they love.

Deer May 21 – June 20 (Gemini)- Deer are always alert, they pay attention to even the most minor of details. They don't ever rush into things, choosing instead to take their time and feel out each new situation they find themselves in. Even so, they are a lot of fun to be around and easy to talk to.

Woodpecker June 21 – July 21 (Cancer)- Woodpeckers are the voice of reason, they see through all the distractions and hone in on the truth. They are protective, caring, balanced, and supportive. When they have your back, you feel safe and secure.

Salmon July 22 – August 21 (Leo)- Salmon are relentless and driven. They surge forward no matter what may be in the way and it's that intense focus that makes them so roundly admired and looked up to. They are most powerful when they're aligned with others who share their outlook and pace through life and make wonderful partners.

Bear August 22 – September 21 (Virgo)- Bears are loyal, realistic, and practical. They often have their own way of doing things and stick with what they know best. They're very fair and balanced, rarely will they let you down, and if they do they'll always make it up to you.

Raven September 22 – October 22 (Libra)- Ravens are intelligent and highly sophisticated. They use their cleverness to solve whatever problems or issues they come across. They are very exacting and precise in their ways which others tend to confuse with them being hard to please, but they're simply driven and quite impartial.

Snake October 23 – November 22 (Scorpio)- Snakes are powerful, highly spiritual, and dedicated to the people and causes they believe in. They are always positive, happy, and welcoming, and smiling. Their cheerfulness is infectious and is what gives them the ability to make others feel a lot better by just being around them.

Owl November 23 – December 21 (Sagittarius)- Owls are fun and adventurous, they're always seeking out entertainment or a new diversion to help keep them busy. They do the best when they're part of a group and are easy to get along with. They are genuine souls who take the time to truly listen to others and as such they often have excellent advice to give.

Goose December 22 – January 19 (Capricorn)- The goose is a real go-getter, if they set their hearts and minds on a goal nothing can distract them. However, they need the support of others to keep them on track and when they have the backing of friends and family, they're unstoppable. It's this focused, dogged type of determination that makes them an inspiration and an asset to have on your side.

I, being an Aries (Or a Falcon here) think it fits. However everyone's different. . . . . The Scorpio doesn't fit my sister, but she's a special case.

[Hickory]

I am definitely not Sagittarius.

[Cornflower MM]

Really? I would have thought it would have fit.

[Aimless Gallivanter]

im a salmon

[Jetthebinturong]

I dunno about the Wolf. It sort of fits, I guess.

[Aimless Gallivanter]

the salmon doesnt reallly fit but neither does leo so

[Gonff the Mousethief]

*Sighs* These never match up with me at all. Scorpio is literally the complete opposite of me in every single way. Every time.

[Lady Ashenwyte]

Scorpio fits me, which is interesting.

[The Skarzs]

The last half of Scorpio doesn't fit me. . . Cheerfulness and smiling. Peh.

[Groddil]

I. Was. Born. In. The. Wrong. Stinking. Month.

[Aimless Gallivanter]

I've heard that you sun sign ( in my case Leo since i was born July 24) is actually more what other people see you as, and your moon sign ( mine is pisces) is closer to what you would see yourself as. I relate to the Pisces way more often than i do Leo

[Hickory]

Really? I would have thought it would have fit.

Maybe here on the forum, but in real life I'm not a good advice giver and I certainly don't go looking for entertainment.

[Ashleg]

Scorpio half fits me.

It's correct until it gets to the "positive all the time" part and then goes down from there.
Offline I'm actually really irritable and only get that way around a select few people.
Whoops.

[Rosie Willowwater]

I'm a Taurus ( or in this case a Beaver). And in my opinion it is nothing like me. I rarely go through with things, and I never am too serious.

[Jukka the Sling]

According to the one Corny shared, I'm a bear, but it doesn't describe me at all.
