    So why did you ask? And how on earth did you derive that !!!!!! star name from your first pet?

    Dunno, it just seemed the type of inane question you might ask in the Discussion Time area.

    My first pet was a goldfish which had a black mark on its back in the shape of a keyhole. So I called him Keyhole. You really have a sense of simplicity when you're 4 years old.

    Oh come on, Capricorn, taurus and aries, you don't think it means anything that we all have celestial horns?:confused: You're one helluva sceptic, kiddo.

    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Capricorn governs the knees, bones and skin, so its subjects may be liable to fractures and strains of the knees and other defects of the legs. Skin diseases from rashes and boils to leprosy (in countries where that disease is prevalent) are dangers, and digestive upsets may be caused by the tendency of Capricorns to worry or suppress emotions. Anemia, Bright's disease, catarrh, deafness, rheumatism and rickets are also said to threaten the natives of this sign.[/FONT]
    Honestly. It worries me that people read this in the 21st Century.

    I have a friend who works for a well known, national publication that many on here will read. Due to cut backs this publication struck a deal with their well known Astologer to not write their horoscope column anymore but instead pay them a smaller fee to keep their face and branding on the stars column. My mate, who is a journo and very cynical of horoscopes was asked to step in and now writes the stars each week, normally on a 10 minute coffee break. Absolutely loves it too. Hope no one is taking it too seriously though.

    I thought these might be more realistic:

    [FONT=Arial, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Star Sign Taurus character: They see everything in terms of money or value and cling like leeches to anyone rich or famous. Once they have wealth or status they'll bully their inferiors and wield control with a rod of iron. They hate change and are suspicious of everyone. Fortunately for the rest of us Taureans are generally stupid so they don't usually get very far in life. This may account for their famed resentment of everyone. They are usually very, very fat. They make hopeless diplomats but excellent socialites, bankers or thieves.

    [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Capricorn character: They are proud of the fact that they are the most opinionated and self-centred sign of the zodiac. And it's true because they are always right. Cruel Capricorn puts ambition ahead of personal relationships which can be jettisoned as needed. Bluntness is their middle name. They may sound interesting people but in reality they are old-fashioned and tiresome. They will live to a ripe old age just to spite everyone. Capricorns are hopeless comedians but make excellent undertakers, journalists and butchers.

    [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Star Sign Aries character: Aries are at their worst during adolescence and are the 'young offender' of the zodiac. They are a fire sign and their love of this element may tempt them to burn down famous buildings or start wars. Once they've matured it's important to allow them to run the show. If they are thwarted in any way they'll do much more than stamp their feet. They may try to fight or humiliate those who interfere with their megalomaniac plans. They make terrible social workers but excellent soldiers, politicians and tax inspectors[/FONT]

    spot on, couldn't be more accurate if they'd put my name in there. And if anyone thinks otherwise, I'll raise your taxes and burn your house down.

    [FONT=Arial, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Gemini character: Gemini will always get what they want because they are masters of deceit and flattery. They love being unfaithful and are always deliberately late for a date but expects you to be punctual. They turn being selfish into an art form and will make you spend all your money so they can save their own. Sometimes they can be good listeners but only because they want to hear every juicy bit of gossip that may prove useful to their schemes. Should not join the police force but make excellent actresses, salespeople, and pizza delivery boys.

    [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Cancer character: Cancerians are like and emotional pressure cooker without a valve. They get so stressed-out that their normally shy behaviour can turn on others like a sudden earthquake. They worry to the point of paranoia and feel that everyone either uses them or ignores them. Most have an Oedipus complex. They also love to moan about everyone and enjoy gloating when someone's done better in life than you have. They employ cunning tricks to get what they want. Cancerians make useless psychologists but are excellent patients. They are better off not having a career.[/FONT]

    Mods: Please move to Discussion Time. Nothing about house prices here. Honestly, you come on for some intelligent, economic debate...
