I am a Virgo because I was born on September 1st. My birthday isn't for a long time but when it is I'll be 13. Yay teen years!!

I've learned most water signs [scorpio, cancer, pisces] are goths/EMO'S [bwaha]. Water symbolizes 'emotion' and stuff like that. I don't support that theory, from what I know, it's Capricorns and Cancers, I dont know any scorpios anyways. As for me [cancer], I either dress for comfort or attention [crazy brightly patterned clashing clothes, that look ridiculous in a cool kind of way. Only in small schools with my friends. My old school enocouraged weird stuff like that, especially Drama [ I wasent in it, and mostly ppl did it with their hair].

Gaaah...Happy [early] Birthday haha. I considered 14 teenager when I was 11/12/13, but I still don't feel like one [14]. I dont look foward to growing up.
*cackle* Call me immature.

Ooh..this isn't important but I want to post this [found it]
[when asked why they dont just shoot all the slytherins, she explained that they're not all bad and blah..]

Moster water and Earth types are in touch with their emotions, they are the feeler's of the zodiac. Fire and air types are the dooers, they need action.

So it makes sence that Hufflepuff and Slytherin are the emotional one weither its good or bad, when you think of hufflepuff they are shy, when you think of slytherins, they are cruel, well most of them.

It also makes sence that Ravenclaw and Gryfindor are the action craver, because if you think about it most of the quidditch cups went to Ravenclaw or Gryffindor, and most well known wizards were Ravenclaw or Gryfindor. I think.

Thats alot of assumptions, I'm not quite sure if its all true.

Well...I'm a scorpio...but according to what you said I must be some kind of because I don't like that goth stuff at all

Sorry i kinda missed a bit, so is :
Gryffindor - fire
Ravenclaw - air
hufflepuff - earth
slyhterin - water
is that right? or am i wrong? or are we not even discussing that...lol !

well as for the emotions thing, that's right, but i wonder if JKR based the hosues on this?
.X.

Hey, I have never posted in here before. I am a Libra, and that's all I really know about all of this stuff. So, well...I guess that's it. ha...ha...ha...

I knew I've read it somewhere in the thread:

"Gryffindor=Fire [aries, leo, saggitarius btw, positive/masculine signs]
Slytherin=Water [Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio. And Water usually symbolizes emotional stuff too haha..Negative/Femenine Signs]
Hufflepuff=Earth [Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo. Negative/Femanine]
Ravenclaw=Air [Libra, Aquarius, Gemini, all 'smart' signs. Same as gryffindor.]"

I don't think that the only thing that made JKR decide about the Houses was the fact of their correspondance with the four elements....Without the shadow of a doubt, she might have taken these into account, but -as I see it- they're not the only ones.

well my zodiac is taurus and proud of it. i am earthy and i like to get down and dirty, haha. that is me, but i can be such a girly girl too.

JKR did say that ..it was an interview..
la la la..
Oh, no, she didnt make it only based on that, she just wanted it to 'correspond roughly to the four elements..' or whatever. Just to make sense? Cause she said she wanted 'balance' or whatever, it's not that important I think, I just liked it. I dont think she used the zodiac with it, but it also uses the four elements, I thought it was kinda neat.. , except that its more important in the zodiac I think.

I really like the idea that she used them as the houses. That's really great. I get what you're saying about 'balance', because you wouldn't want Gryffindor acting like an earth sign, or soemthing like that!
.X.

I don't think Rowling ment to correspond with the signs, but if you think about it does explain alot obout the houses.

Hmm...well, I'm a pisces, and I don't much like the thought that it corresponds to the Slytherins. I suppose it kind of makes sense for them to correspond to water, though. They're pretty devious and can mold themselves to take best advantage of a situation just like water can mold itself to the shape of its container. Or, that's how I see it as corresponding, at least. Anyway, I don't really believe in the Zodiac, in all honesty, but the whole pisces thing actually fits me quite well, so go figure

I don't think Rowling had the idea of the zodiac when she had the balance thing in mind. It just sorta made sence

im a tarus and i think it fits me good.
but im not as stubborn but still am ehehehe.

I'm a Virgo because my birthday is september 21. I don't really know much about these kind of things.


Can anyone tell me what that means ? ( virgo)

hey fresh-pickled toad i'm virgo too! and well emm here are a few thing people have told me about virgo!

Traits of a Virgo:

Analyst
Purist
Plays safe
Worrier
Has mood swings
Perfectionist
Easily learns mastery
Demands respect
Fair judgement
Pessimistic
Frequently depressed
Destructive at times
Likes...

Pursuit of 'trueness'
Standards
Proper methodology
Practicality
Neat & tidy
Friendliness
Dislikes...

Chaos
Noise
Assymetry
Change
Risk
Nagging

Thannks for telling me fany_monkey
It's weird because almost all of those traits are the ones that i have maybe not perfectionist
I must admit i do have mood swings

oh, that makes sense...i'm a leo, I was sorted a gryffindor & my star is the sun (aka; fire)
thanx for that Ladycakeage

i m a gemini, one of the three air signs i was also put in ravenclaw.Ravenclaw is air. what does that realy mean. wait i think it is cos i dont know much about my zodiac sign is there any one that will be able to help me?i think im probably the only gemini here.

you're welcome!
hey that thing about the houses and the signs aren't really true! i was sorted into gryffindor and not hufflepuff! soo emm maybe i am as nice as hufflepuffs (ha right) i guess it can be true in some cases

I dont think JK rowling meant for certain signs to be certain houses. It was the thing of balance. She needed the houses to balance eachother out.

Thats what I said!!!
Gah! But I thought it was preety cool, it made sense with my 2 cousins and me..and my sister. We're a group. And we're all different elements, with the zodiac and houses everything. Its weird.

I agree with you both, whereas I'm a Scorpio and I'm in Hufflepuff...if the theory was to be bound to be true, I'd be in Slytherin or else I'd had to be re-sorted

I'm going to keep going with the theme of agreement here. I'm a virgo... with very virgoish tendancies. However, I was sorted into Gryffindor and I feel perfectly at home there as well. I think that while the houses were intended to balance eachother out and that the members of the houses might tend to have certain signs, it's more about your own personality/characteristics. Like DD said to Harry in CoS:

"It's our choices, Harry, that show us what we truly are, far more than out abilities"

It is good food for thought though that the houses correlate with certain elements. I've never really considered it before.

Well i DO hope that the signs and houses are not really associated!
I mean...I am Gryffindor. But accodring to this chart, my being Pisces makes me a Slytherin...But i am not evil! Or too ambitious...
Well, i don't know who came up with this but i am Gryffindor!

Hey all! Well I'm Taurus and I am in Slytherin, so I guess that kinda balances out does'nt it? I mean Taurus' are proud, stubborn selfish, and have a liking for fine things (food, material possesions and such) so I guess it was meant to be that I got sorted into Slytherin

Marcey

i'm a gemini too, ok here are sonme good sites on geminis :
this one was recommended to me, type in your DoB
traits
wikipedia gemini
hopefully they'll work. The first site is brilliant, the others just explain basic traits and such.... hope it helped
.X.

Hey guys kepp in mind: JK ROWLING DIDN'T MEAN THE HOUSES TO BE RELATED TO THE ZODIAC, HOGWARTS JUST NEED BALANCE.

Just beacause your sun sign is ment for a certain sign, that doesn't mean you have other planets in in the same sign! Most people have different signs in the other planets!

I know...
But I thought it was cool, especially with my cousins and me and my sister.
Looky..

Helen-Virgo-Sorted into Hufflepuff, which makes perfect sense [forced her to do the quiz]
Bethel-Gemini-Sorted into Ravenclaw, also makes sense. [bribed]
Sammy-Leo-Sorted into Gryffindor, makese sense [I said PLEASE. bwahaha. And I was broke]
Me-Cancer-Slytherin, makes sense, yadda yadda [forced...jk, bwahah]

We're all a group. As in, we've known each other since forever. I thought it made since with alot of ppl, kinda like how the zodiac does [or doesn't]. My sister definatly isn't a perfectionist, or how some MAGAZINES *angry* make Virgo's look like goody-goodys. Complete opposite. I thought we should switch birthdays because mine would make alot more sense with her, but I changed my mine. I like the number 7 [July 17=7/17]

*hums*

*twiddles thumbs*


Heeey-ya. Percy Weasley=Ambitious+Gryffindor.
And Slytherin isn't the definition of Evil, person. Besides, Pisces are usually very nice people *insane cackle* so I'm don't think you're evil anywayz. And it's just intresting to look at, geez. *hum-diddly-dum*
Ach, Im hungry..

Well i'm a Leo (i actually share harry and JKR birthday lol) and i was sorted into gryffindor like Harry. Slytherin doesn't automatically make you evil.

I am a slyffindor.I love water,and reptiles.Go figure.

I am an aries! I don't know much about them other than they are one of the fire signs.

Oh Aries is such a nice sign, they are calm but if you make them angry, wooo you'd better run! Haha!
Ok the best info on aries is on wikipedia, so if you are interested in it you can simply click here. It has a few interesting things!

Most of the Aries I know are well-liked, funny, impatient/aggresive/moody, but generally preety nice people. Aaah...reptiles. *shiver* I'm usualy scared of real ones. Especially lizards and stuff. And I can't swim that well, I just learned kinda. Too many clsoe calls ><
edit: BWAHAHA! [encrusted_oath] Your icon is funny

Aries rule. I am the very definition of the Ram: stubborn, fiery, temperamental, passionate, and loyal. I read my horoscope all the time, I just don't know if I believe it. There's too much Prof. Trelawney-esque mysticism about it.

I`m a scorpio..my birthday is on 23th octomber

I'm a leo, my birthday is August 3. I don't really know much about us except that we are supposed to love being on stage and being the center of attention. Which may be somewhat true, considering I love singing and acting...

Magazine horoscopes don't use charts though. Astrology requires charts. I guess Trelwaney makes her students do that too, but I'm not sure if Astronomy and Diviniation are taught as two different subjects there. [astronomy=different than astroLOGY. I dont know how, but this Astrology book was talking about how Astronomers and Astrologers kinda don't like each other's subjects]. She doesn't seem to talk about the Zodiac much, but it'd be preety funny if she did.

Hi-5! I'm a leo as well. ok, I have learnt from LadyCakeage & alkisti that we Leo's are....(ok, I am not going to bother typing it all out)...here I will just copy & paste...

The opposite sign to Leo is Aquarius. Leos, like lions, are thought to be strong leaders. They are thought to generally have a regal quality to them, and possess a noble manner that is hard to miss. Leos are normally very good looking. They are attractive, and have bright and vivid personalities. (my extremely weird imagination is explained here) They get along with mostly any other sign, including Cancer. Cancer is most likely the best sign they get along with if the Leo him/herself is born within the month of July. Leo is the fifth sign of the Zodiac and is associated with the keywords magnanimous, generous, hospitable, caring, warm, authoritative, active and open. ahhhh... Leos are typically pictured as very dignified and regal. They are hard-working, ambitious and enthusiastic, however they are prone to laziness and can often take "the easy way out." (haha, so true considering me )
They are known to be exuberant, extroverted, generous with a natural dramatic flair and very creative.They are typically very self-assured, and love taking center-stage in whatever arena they are in. (so yea, this explains my whole love for acting thing) Fiery determination and the desire to be important often rule their life. They usually pursue their goals doggedly and use their charisma to sway others to their cause. Open and honest, tend towards the philosophical and tend to hold great idealisms about how things should be.

ok, I hope that helped you understand the ways of us Leos'

I'm a leo too *hi-5*
Thanks for explaining it Jay. Haha that does explain me especially the bit about being lazy. Thats so me. haha it also explains my weird personality. the only thing that isn't right is the bit about being attractive

hi-5!
Yes, it explains me as well; except for the whole goodlooking & attractive perspect...that does not fit!
ok, for all the leo's interested...here is an interesting website I found about Leo Compatibility...
off course...not all of the things on this site are completely true, so don't go judging your boyfriends/husbands due to their Zodiac sign.
but apparently the most compatible signs for a Leo are Aries, Gemini, Libra, Sagittarius...

I think the differenece between astronomy and astrology is astronomy is the study of space and the planets, astrology is more how it affects us or something...

*Hi-5's Jay and Katie!* Go Leo's! Thanks for all that information Jay, it was really interesting to read!

Aha! Smart.
Lots of Leos *cackles*
hum diddly dum. They should make a poll for this. Whoever made this topic, I demand you to make a poll so we can see which is the dominant sign. *cackle insanely*
ahh...too much Starbucks.

I am Taurus and apparently I have a lot of characteristics of this sign.I am stubborn,I like stability e.t.c. In chinese I am a horse.I like it.

I`m sagittarius. I read that sagittarius like to comment others and giving advices. I always do that. And I love phantasy - that`s why I`m here!!

And hate being alone or silent. If nobody is talking and if I already said everything I got to say and there is nothing I can think of, I always say "Pričaj nekaj!" = talk about something!!
Well that doesn`t have to anything with my sign.. .

In chinese I`m snake. I didn`t knew that. I saw the topic so I search a bit on Intertnet. I do not really understand much that snake thing . It doesn`t sound good . I hope that is just lack of knowledge!

And there are many leo`s here!! sagittarius where are you hiding?

im a tarus and it fits me well, cause id have to agree i am quite stubborn lol, ask my parents and jen lol they know. ahah , i hate it , its a bad quality, are there any good things for tarus's ?

heya

My sign is taurus and tomorow is my birthday

HAPPY B-DAYto ME

~dewet

I am an aquarius. I never got into astrology, but I vaguely recall that than aquari (I hope that is the correct plural. I am treating it like octopi.) are supposed to be quiet and reflective.
