Slogging Amy Apr 4, 2021, 2:49 PM Rejected because pisces is the dumbest star sign 😂 5 Linh Apr 4, 2021, 3:41 PM Apparently, that’s Norah’s star sign I learned about yesterday (I don’t care about horoscopes though) Limarc Apr 4, 2021, 4:37 PM Virgo over here Amy Apr 4, 2021, 4:38 PM Omg virgo club yay Utsav Jaiswal Apr 4, 2021, 4:41 PM Missed being a pisces (and on Amy's hate list) by a day 😂 😂 1 Limarc Apr 4, 2021, 4:41 PM Lololol Amy Apr 4, 2021, 4:45 PM Oh you definitely are an Aries 😂 Utsav Jaiswal Apr 4, 2021, 4:50 PM Wut? I'm an aquarian not an Aries. I thought the having my head up my own a$$ was a dead giveaway😂 Amy Apr 4, 2021, 4:50 PM Omggg Linh Apr 4, 2021, 4:52 PM Do y’all believe in horoscopes? :face_with_monocle: 😂 2 Amy Apr 4, 2021, 4:55 PM Not in a be all end all kind of way. But I believe in it the same way I believe things will work out as they should. So then when shit hits the fan I can be like oh it's okay mercury is in retrograde but I'll be fine in 12 days 😂😂 😆 1 Limarc Apr 4, 2021, 4:55 PM No not at all. I do believe that being born in a certain month could affect your personality and life. Did you read outliers by Gladwell? Linh Apr 4, 2021, 5:01 PM I really strongly dislike Gladwell for his (imho) hit pieces and oversimplification of stats...so no :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: Linh Apr 4, 2021, 5:02 PM lol yeah Amy I believe in whatever my mom says 😂 ➕ 1 Utsav Jaiswal Apr 4, 2021, 5:08 PM I just love to read about pretty much everything - this is one of those Arthur Apr 4, 2021, 5:18 PM well, i'm usually affected by different stars and galaxies 😂 2 Amy Apr 4, 2021, 7:05 PM There is science behind the power of the moon 💯 1 Arthur Apr 4, 2021, 7:14 PM but what about sun flairs? Natasha Apr 4, 2021, 10:18 PM I feel like I notice similarities between people who were born around the same time (leos are consistently obsessed with their own hair; scorpios take grudges very seriously, and taureans are stubborn AF, for example), but that might just be confirmation bias because I was raised by a raging hippie Natasha Apr 4, 2021, 10:18 PM I'm an Aries, Amy, for what it's worth 😄 Natasha Apr 4, 2021, 10:24 PM and omg yes Limarc and Amy you are SUCH Virgos ✨:rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: (or just canadian..?) Loren knows the facts: https://www.lorensworld.com/business/life-work/virgos-great-workplace/ Limarc Apr 4, 2021, 10:45 PM hmm I don't know Natasha: "Strengths: Loyal, analytical, kind, hardworking, practical Weaknesses: Shyness, worry, overly critical of self and others, all work and no play" Amy is definitely not shy. I used to be shy until college and then I forced myself to grow out of it. 😂 1 Limarc Apr 4, 2021, 10:46 PM the rest is true though 😅, at least I hope so Amy Apr 4, 2021, 11:03 PM I was painfully shy until college too. Well, either painfully shy or wildly unpopular. I'm not sure Limarc Apr 4, 2021, 11:04 PM I feel ya. That's the same excuse I use when people ask why I didn't have any long-term relationships in highschool 😣 Amy Apr 4, 2021, 11:05 PM I mostly worked on stuff during my breaks (also goes back to the all work no play virgoness) Limarc Apr 4, 2021, 11:06 PM but like was that by choice...or because we had no other options... Amy Apr 4, 2021, 11:07 PM I'm not sure 😂 this is a very chicken vs egg scenario Limarc Apr 4, 2021, 11:07 PM You know what? We turned out fine 😂 1 Limarc Apr 4, 2021, 11:07 PM NO MATTER WHAT THE HOROSCOPES SAY 😂 2 Amy Apr 4, 2021, 11:08 PM (Worry) Linh Apr 4, 2021, 11:42 PM Lol Linh Apr 4, 2021, 11:44 PM Natasha I think David, who’s a Taurus( I just learned) is truly stubborn af but at the same time I think he cares about his hair more than me, a Leo. 😂 I get what you say about general pointer through 😂 1 Linh Apr 4, 2021, 11:46 PM I’d say I identify with other Leo traits such as the need to be excellent and let other people know about it :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: 💚 1 Linh Apr 4, 2021, 11:54 PM Limarc I think those describe you very well especially the practical one spot on Amy Jul 10, 2021, 3:51 AM I still stand by everything I said in this thread 😂 :savage-joy: 1
