The Scary Truth of the New Astrological Sign

I took a “What’s Your New Astrological Sign” quiz on Facebook. Of course I took this quiz for pure fun, but based on my experiences, these kind of quiz no longer surprises me. The answers have always been the standard description of my star sign, and this description describes my personality quite well. Maybe it’s just biased psychology; my mind unconsciously agrees with whatever is written because it is made up of traits that I like- love to travel, needs challenge, cannot be tied down, stubborn, etc, etc.

However, this New Astrological Sign quiz kind of took me aback a little. Not only it provides the standard description as other astrological quizzes, it also pegs the bad sides of me quite to the T:

Buoyancy characterizes the Sagittarian Rooster. He’s atwitter with chitchat and agog with stories of adventure. This subject, born under two of the most high-strung signs, will be nervous, frank, candid, and a bit carried away with himself. The word is enthusiasm but it’s more than that. Sagittarius/Roosters are full of dash and elan. They cut an impressive figure wherever they go-and they go everywhere! Superficially, this character appears boastful and cocky. But deep down he is serious, dreams of helping the downtrodden and cares enormously about others. His love life is highly charged, but uneven. Great passions come alive and carry him to heavenly heights. The next week, it’s over. The paradox lies in this person’s odd relationship to deceit. He can’t stand untruth and yet is capable of some devious fibbing of his own. This approach makes cementing love into anything more permanent than a roll in the hay in a grass hut. The sex is surely delicious. But don’t count on this character to still be there in the morning.

If any one of my friend is asked to describe me, they would say 99% of what was written above. On the one hand, I’m quite pleased that this astrological stuff has turned out to be more than just ancient beliefs and eve my cynical side is nodding in agreement that there may be some truth in how the stars were alligned on the day you were born could affect your personality. But on the other hand, I’m sure I’m not the only Sagitarian Rooster in the world, and although this quiz result doesn’t apply to all of my fellow Sagitarian Roosters, there must be a percentage who sees their personality being described accurately just by entering their birthdates. It kind of makes me feel less unique. I’m starting to think that these characteristics are what make me ME, and having to share these with others? I’m selfish that way.
