I came across this website and thought it was neat. Check out the Birthday Calculator http://www.paulsadowski.com/ Me. quote:The description from my birth tree had me surprised at how close it is. There's only two that I disagree with seeing that I have little muscle tone and don't think that I'm pedantic, though it's hard to tell since the deffinition at merriam-webster contained nothing but more big words that I had to look up, but other then those two everything else is pretty much spot on. :D I hold no confidence in the name calculator though. Neither my given name nor my married name gave me any description that I would consider close. Not to mention that my destiny # and my soul # utterly contradicted each other. Edit: Though I do have to give it credit that my life path # was the same as my destiny #. Beat the odds on that one it did.

I'll take a nibble on this one. Mine: (bday, July 1, Cancer) Your birthstone is Ruby The Mystical properties of Ruby Ruby is said to open one's heart to love. Some lists consider these stones to be your birthstone. (Birthstone lists come from Jewelers, Tibet, Ayurvedic Indian medicine, and other sources) Your birth tree is Apple Tree, the Love Of slight build, lots of charm, appeal and attraction, pleasant aura, flirtatious, adventurous, sensitive, always in love, wants to love and be loved, faithful and tender partner, very generous, scientific talents, lives for today, a carefree philosopher with imagination. ---- In my subjective opinion, I find all the above uncannilly accurate in description, except that rather than always being in love, I wish to be in love with elusive success. But I value it highest, love in general. Anyone who knows my posts from the last month knows I wax philosophical to the extreme, but can be silly the next moment. Curious. I believe the universe is yet a much more complicated and mysterious thing that we have grown accustomed to assuming in this "age of reason." Ironically, I find this age of reason not being much less steeped in its own brand of superstitions, faiths, and blind spots. I shortly expect to see the logicians and scientists in our midst come forth to explain why it's utterly ridiculous to pay any homage to mysticisms. -------------------- [Insert Signature Here] Posts: 2009 | Registered: Monday, September 12 2005 07:00 |

Fun fact: In Japan, they have the same absurd, baseless superstitions as we do about utterly arbitrary factors in a person's background influencing their personality. Only instead of birthdays, they use blood types. That's all I'm really inspired to say. EDIT: Eh, I'm not being exactly charitable, so here's how you could be scientific about it: write down 10-15 characteristics you would associate with yourself (which is a lot, considering most horoscopes give 4-5), vet them with your friends and family (e.g. if you think you're peace-loving and it turns out everyone else thinks of you as an acrimonious SOB, well.), then try and see how many of those SPECIFIC characteristics show up in the horiscope. Treat any which do not show up as a direct miss, and any false positives (e.g. it says you're forgiving and you didn't feel it meet to note that on the list beforehand) as a miss as well. Be generous and accept synonyms (we can't expect the horoscope people to be psychic, can we...?). Reduce the number that have no business showing up (if it offers 7 attributes and you've got 10 written down, reduce the miss score by 3), and I'd be very surprised if the average predictive accuracy were above 50%. You see, birth-signing, unlike a lot of our other damnedably stupid superstitions, can be put through a fairly rigorous testing process. That there's no freaking reason for birth-signing to happen (the gravitational influence of faraway stars could be mitigated by a small child in the same room) doesn't matter as such. ... Just so no one thinks I'm only here to be a wet blanket: the stuff grounded in reality - esp. the candle thing - is actually pretty neat.

What makes you so sure blood types CAN'T have a factor in shaping personality aspects? What makes you think the supposedly possible influence of spacial bodies upon the personality typing of living beings is gravitational in nature? I'm not interested in debating astrology however. Talk about a pointless exercise. Belisarius, the degree of affect invoked by the topic for you is curious to me. Is it a hot button for you? quote:Do you think that's a coincidence? ;) Mine is more to observe, philosophize, imagine, and hopefully to nurture in life, not debate many points scientifically. Science ultimately doesn't prove much to me anyway, if we have whole other aspects to the universe which do not operate on the level of physical science. I am very open to that (to me) evident likelihood. As I see it, the conceit of science (or any professional paradigm: western allopathic medicine, for example) is the all too usual myopic exclusion of and failure to integrate other possibilities.

quote:I am stunned about how accurate this is. Except for the 'her' part. I am male (but it's not like they can predict gender based upon the birthdate. I do not blame them). Wow. Although I try not to care too much for my looks. The info about my name that it gave me was also accurate as well. It makes me feel...strange. I wonder how it could be so accurate.

What I am wondering is what kind of "dreams of unusual lovers" a 13 year old is having. Care to elaborate Zephyr? Does it involve a female nephil?

ZT, about 90% of the population of this forum would probably think that was an accurate description of them. Who believes themselves to have bad taste? Who wants to have an uncomfortable life? Who looks for an unkind and unemotional partner who doesn't acknowledge them? :P [ Wednesday, October 19, 2005 20:36: Message edited by: Thuryl ] -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun!

It would be pretty hard to disprove the validity of "signs" as descriptors of personality type over the population contained within that period for the era in which signs became popular. It is fairly well acknowledged that prenatal nutrition plays a fair role in development, and while that may not be a huge concern in the countries generally represented on this board, it was a daily concern only 100 years ago, and more frequently as you look further back on the timeline. It would be a fair stretch to think that births after the widespread use of refrigeration were affected overly by this phenomena, but there are definitely some folks that I know whose personalities tend to agree with those characteristic with their astrological sign. Like most legends, there is a grain of truth in this, and it may be wise to not discount it completely.
