{mosimage}Nobody believes the predictions based on Zodiac signs, yet they are popular. Almost every second magazine, News Paper and web portals offer astrology as a channel, proving their draw among the audience. Do the lunar, solar charts etc. etc.. exist? Are the characteristics of zodiac signs true? Based on my experience I have enough reasons to believe that Zodiac signs hold true to a certain extent. Initially when I observe people, I notice certain characteristics and later correlate with their date of birth, surprisingly most of the time, most of them fall under a similiar pattern. For example I have many Gemini friends (including me) and all of them have a varying taste, prefer lighter friendship, exhibit liveliness and good conversationalist also. Now I try to predict their behaviours by their zodiac signs.

My first tryst with zodiac signs started on a small arguement with Soumya. She was a Cancerian while I was a Gemini. She used to make fun of me as a flirt because according to her favourite "Lynda Goodman's Sun Signs" Geminis are incorrigable flirts. So I bought a copy of the same book, read about the characteristics of Cancerians and retaliated that Cancerians are serious and straight out of grave yard. After that I used to relate the people in my circle with their Zodiac signs. Lynda Goodman's book made an intresting reading and while reading the characteristics of Gemini, I analysed myself and was amused to see the co-incidences. I can suggest anybody who wants to know about me to read LG's observations about Gemini man, most of them (80%) holds correct for me.

When I read that Gemini's make greatest broadcasters and good sales personnel, I laughed at it. But unknowingly I started writing junks, many of which had been appreciated and was told to archive it on a website. I did it and later going by the response I realised that I have the "it" of a broadcaster in media. Same goes for sales too, even though I don't claim to be a best sales man, looking back my track record I noticed that I have achieved something in starting from absolute scratch, in my current job profile. LG says that Gemini's tend to lose intrest on something that doesn't move in their speed, I too lose my interest on some projects that doesn't match my pace.

{mosimage}Whether it is you follow the Zodiac signs characteristics or the otherway round, I have noticed that most of the times, the people of same Zodiac signs share some common traits. Rather than completely unaware of somebody, having a rough idea can sometimes be useful. Other than this, whenever I am in dumps, I used to read the "Gemini Man" that describes "Geminis as chirpy people, who breathe life into any party etc...", inspiring me to be cheerful. It is just like a mother or friend cheering you up when your morale is at low.

Whaetver might be the conclusion whether Zodiac signs actually exist or not, as long as the belief brings something good, better to accept it rather than questioning it.
