I'm a Taurus and I think it's pretty accurate for me! DH would agree that the stubbornness is the most accurate! I don't really follow my horoscope or sign though, it's just fun to read sometimes!
Strengths: Reliable, patient, practical, devoted, responsible, stable. Weaknesses: Stubborn, possessive, uncompromising

Despite being more evidence based I find this stuff incredibly fascinating and often fairly accurate.
What's a general description of a person with that sign?
"Deeply intuitive and sentimental, Cancer can be one of the most challenging zodiac signs to get to know. They are very emotional and sensitive, and care deeply about matters of the family and their home. Cancer is sympathetic and attached to people they keep close."
Is it at all accurate for you? Eerily so. I am very sensitive and a big homebody. I like to think I am creative and maternal. I joke I'm more of an inside out crab in that I may seem soft on the outside, but if you push too much you'll get a hard shell protecting my heart where I'll fight back aka not afraid to break out those claws. I am stubborn and a bit self absorbed
Do you follow your horoscope? Not in the daily sense or even yearly, I don't find that as interesting.
How about your SO, what's theirs and is it accurate? He is a through and through Taurus. Stubborn, loves money, values nice things, homebody, funny, loyal... I mean, the man is the bull. We're both stubborn signs who like nice things and being at home, I think it works out except when we butt heads haha.

They are very emotional and sensitive, and care deeply about matters of the family and their home. Cancer is sympathetic and attached to people they keep close."
Is it at all accurate for you? Absolutely. I'm a sensitive, nurturing, homebody and can definitely be moody.
Do you follow your horoscope? Not regularly but any time I see something Cancer related, I think, "yup, that's me!".
How about your SO, what's theirs and is it accurate? Aquarius. I don't think its as spot on as mine is but its definitely him. He is very friendly and personable. Strong convictions. He's a dreamer and visionary. Curious. Affectionate. Tendency to go off-track.
We definitely balance each other out.
What's a general description of a person with that sign?
"Strengths: Generous, idealistic, great sense of humor
Weaknesses: Promises more than can deliver, very impatient, will say anything no matter how undiplomatic"
"Traits: optimistic and confident, idealistic and enthusiastic, free-spirited and spontaneous"
Is it at all accurate for you? Pieces of it, maybe. I was supposed to be a Capricorn, and some of that fits, too, so I think I'm a mix. I feel like the weaknesses mentioned above aren't me at all-- I hate promises, I think I'm very patient. I do think I'm optimistic and enthusiastic, but not confident at all or idealistic. I think I'm a realist. I do love travel and consider myself a curious person, which are big tenets of the sign.Do you follow your horoscope? No, but it's nice to think about sometimes. My mom is really into it.
How about your SO, what's theirs and is it accurate? He's a Gemini, and I think it fits him more than mine does me. He's very multi-talented and can be mercurial, he's great at business/financials, is competitive but very fun-natured and fun-oriented. Fun fact: we're compatible signs.
I don't follow my horoscope, but I do find the science of astrology intriguing. For a long time, scientists dismissed astrology as a load of bunk. I can't say I agree with all aspects of astrology or how it's often used, but I do enjoy thinking about the possible evidence behind it. For instance, some scientists conjecture that Earth's magnetic field (which changes throughout the year as we orbit the sun and come into closer contact with other planets) affects a woman's unborn child. So, a child born in May, for instance, has been exposed to different magnetic conditions during their gestation than a child born in September. And, children born in May of different years would have been exposed to similar magnetic conditions. There are other theories, too, but they all seem to center around conditions that a mother/fetus are exposed to during a yearly cycle.
What is your sign?
Pisces
What's a general description of a person with that sign?
Strengths: Compassionate, artistic, intuitive, gentle, wise, musical
Weaknesses: Fearful, overly trusting, sad, desire to escape reality, can be a victim or a martyr
Pisces likes: Being alone, sleeping, music, romance, visual media, swimming, spiritual themes
Pisces dislikes: Know-it-all, being criticized, the past coming back to haunt, cruelty of any kind
Is it at all accurate for you?
I've always felt like the "essence" of Pisces was very me, but that could also just be me fitting the accurate portions to myself and ignoring the rest. I just pulled the description above from a random website, but using that as a guide, I do feel that I'm intuitive, gentle, musical, compassionate, I like being alone and swimming, don't like being criticized or cruelty. I joke with my husband that I'm a fish. I grew up on the beach, and definitely miss that.
Do you follow your horoscope?
Nope, that's the part I really don't take stock in.
How about your SO, what's theirs and is it accurate?
Taurus. Same as with me, I'd agree that many of the aspects fit. He's reliable, practical, stable, can be stubborn, loves gardening and working with his hands, dislikes sudden changes.
What's a general description of a person with that sign? Emotional, sensitive, sometimes moody
Is it at all accurate for you? Yes and no, I'd like to think I'm not ruled by my emotions or extremely sensitive, but otherwise it suits me decently
Do you follow your horoscope? Not really, I just read it for funsies every now and again
How about your SO, what's theirs and is it accurate? DH is a Libra (peaceful, fair, hates being alone, but will hold grudges) ...I think it's somewhat accurate, but I consider DH a more chaotic person. He describes himself as the nicest asshole you'll ever meet.

What is your sign? Taurus
What's a general description of a person with that sign?
Good Day: Patient, organized, supportive, romantic, careful, dedicated
Bad Day: Overindulgent, stubborn, lazy, vain, cheap, too cautious
Favorite Things: Photography, the mountains, great music, rich/gourmet food, satin sheets
What They Hate: Being rushed, wasting money, dirty things, hotels, mornings
How to Spot Them: Deep and soulful eyes, long and elegant necks, delicate jaw lines (NOPE!)
Keywords for Taurus: Stability, security, elegance, sensuality, stubbornness, persistence
Taurus people can be grounding, bringing a sense of ease and contentment. Unless, that is, they’re worked up about something. Then steam pours out of their ears. Lovers of the arts, you can find them composing photos, blissing out to music, losing themselves on the dance floor or preparing a feast fit for royalty. Never go cheap on a Taurus, because these epicureans love the finer things. That said, they can be very down-to-earth and work hard to pay for their indulgences. (You might need to light a fire under their asses to get them going. Once in motion though, there’s no stopping this charging Bull!) Sure they can be materialistic, but really they just want tasteful creature comforts that last the test of time. And, if you’re lucky enough, they’ll share the finer things in life with you, too.
Is it at all accurate for you? Favorite things is accurate, others are yes and no but overall I think yes.
Do you follow your horoscope? no
How about your SO, what's theirs and is it accurate? Scorpio, mostly no. DH is quiet but he is a curious person who likes to know how things work, random facts and he isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. He loves to learn about anything and everything.
I think most of us are going to be having little Taurus babies
1st Baby 5/12/17, Henry
Also, will be interesting as the "new" dates are different so for those that go with the new dates and have their babies at the beginning of the month will not have Taurus babies but Aries.
New Horoscope dates
Aries: April 18 – May 13
Taurus: May 13 – June 21

What's a general description of a person with that sign? Sensitive, compassionate but fiercely loyal, artistic, good memory but sometimes too concerned with the past, frugal. Can be self-righteous. I've also read pearly skin, high forehead, and big boobs lol. I got that! Ruled by and fascinated with the Moon.
Is it at all accurate for you? I think mostly, yes! I used to think not as a teenager, but as I've grown into an adult and come more into myself, I've seen much more of it ring true. I'm generally really friendly and love talking to people and strangers, but if someone hurts my feelings I slam that shell down like a fortress and immediately stop talking for a long time. It takes time for me to heal an emotional wound just like a physical wound. I can't just forgive & move on. I need a little time to heal. I'd say the only thing that is not me at all is Frugal. I shop way too much and love surrounding myself with beautiful (but affordable) things. I like creating vignettes for the seasons on our shelves so I like a lot of knick knacks and spend too much on home decor, especially in the Fall!
Do you follow your horoscope? Yes! Though less lately. I love Susan Miller's Astrology Zone. Hers are so crazy in depth. I don't put 100% stock in them either. I just like feeling connected to things bigger than my day to day life and it's fun to dream. So I still get a kick out of reading them regularly
How about your SO? What's theirs and is it accurate? He's s Scorpio! I do think it's pretty accurate, yes. Strong & Silent type, but also very fun & social with our friends. With me he's an ooey gooey softie who loves to talk and sing to the dogs. Extremely honest, never takes things personally, sensitive in a caring way but I swear barely ever gets his feeling hurt. Creative, whip smart and very funny. A little mysterious and broody at social events sometimes but never truly in a bad mood, just gets into introverted moods! I do too so it works

What's a general description of a person with that sign? Strengths: Generous, idealistic, great sense of humor
Weaknesses: Promises more than can deliver, very impatient, will say anything no matter how undiplomatic
Sagittarius likes: Freedom, travel, philosophy, being outdoors
Sagittarius dislikes: Clingy people, being constrained, off-the-wall theories, details
https://www.astrology-zodiac-signs.com/zodiac-signs/sagittarius/
Is it at all accurate for you? For the most part, except I wouldn't consider myself a complete extrovert (it said that's what sags are). It truly depends on the situation for me. Also, if I'm going to promise that I'll do something I tend to deliver! And I've definitely learned to each how I saw things haha
Do you follow your horoscope? Not really...fun to look up sometimes. I have a friend though that tells me about it because she's a Sagittarius too and is more into it than me.
How about your SO, what's theirs and is it accurate? Pisces- this is him..."Pisces are very friendly, so they often find themselves in a company of very different people. Pisces are selfless, they are always willing to help others, without hoping to get anything back." H is always striking up conversations with people and will help anyone he can! He'd give his shirt off his back if someone needed it (and he's actually done it!). It's kind of funny though because although he likes to swim and be in the ocean, he hates being alone! He won't go in a body of water without other people around!

What's a general description of a person with that sign? copying @BabyMC517 "Strengths: Generous, idealistic, great sense of humor

Sagittarius dislikes: Clingy people, being constrained, off-the-wall theories, details"
Ophiuchus : Just as the sign itself falls between Scorpio and Sagittarius, so too do its traits. People find you very desirable, and good luck follows you.
Ophiuchus is curious, open to change, a true visionary, and has a great sense of humor.
Very passionate; it is also the jealous type, secretive, and arrogant, with a wild temper. As an introvert, this sign enjoys time alone and in fact avoids social situations where they know they can't dominate. If Ophiuchus fears or mistrusts you, they will shun you. You don't want to get on their bad side: Between the air of mystery surrounding them and their ability to fool and bring down just about anyone, Ophiuchus is not to be toyed with.
Do you follow your horoscope? I don't follow it but I find it interesting from time to time. I do find the daily horoscope to usually reflect me better than the overall characteristics.
How about your SO, what's theirs and is it accurate? DH is a Leo (Aug 18).....but not if you look at the description.
