today i'm doing another challenge, this time astrology. i found this challenge here. i didn't include some questions, because i couldn't answer them or didn't find them interesting. for questions 1-11 i'm gonna get help from astroyou.
(i own none of the images used in this post! all images found on google.)
1. what is your sign? post what the sign profile says about you. what's your opinion on that? true or not?
"sagittarius is all about freedom and adventure.
sagittarians are independent, natural-born explorers, and their favourite way to learn about life is to hit the road and experience it for themselves. if sagittarius feels fenced in, they will become impatient and difficult. however, their usual mood is generous, optimistic and excited. confident sagittarius plays life full on and their charming and sociable manner attracts many people to their ever-changing crowd.
sagittarians are open-minded, especially about philosophy and religion. they are also strong and outspoken in their own beliefs, sometimes to the point of exaggaration.
sagittarians can procrastinate and be self-indulgent, and sometimes their carefree ways hurt people who want to be close to them. but sagittarians truly want to be a friend to the world and they can get along with almost any kind of person. they also love gambling and taking risks, which usually turns out well because they are lucky as well as smart."
a lot of the stuff is true, but i am not confident and sociable, thus i don't have a big crowd of people around me. i don't like gambling and taking risks either and i'm not self-indulgent. however, i am very curious (which may turn into yearn for adventure and exploring) generous, open-minded and want to express my own opinions and beliefs. i do procrastinate a lot and get along with people.
2. look at the careers section. post the careers. italicize the ones that you could imagine yourself having, strike out the ones that you think are totally wrong.
i'm going to leave those that i'm not sure of normal (no bolding nor striking out).

3. read the chocolate and food sections and post what it says. do you gravitate to the foods that it says you do?
"when it comes to chocolate, a sagittarian prefers to eat expensive chocolates from the best european chocolate makers.
sagittarius is always in the mood for something new and adventurous, so they are very open to trying exotic cuisines of the world.
their exciting nature often leads the sagittarius to hot and spicy foods with bold flavours featuring cloves, curry and garlic. szechuan chinese food and indian food are popular with sagittarius people for this reason.
sagittarians are also fond of yummy figs."
i don't care how valuable the chocolate is, as long as i like the taste. i don't like mint or orange-flavoured chocolate but pretty much everything else goes.
i am interested in new foods, but there's no guarantee that i will like it or eat it. while curious, i'm also very picky when it comes to food. i kind of like hot and spicy food, but if it's so spicy that it makes me cry and i don't feel comfortable anymore, that's when it's too much. i'm under the impression that chinese and indian food have sweet sauces, and i don't like those. and no, i'm not a fan of figs. the food i would enjoy most would probably be italian food.
4. which celebs share your sign? cross out the celebs you don't like. italicize the ones that you do like.
i googled sagittarius celebrities and chose the most interesting ones. again, i'm leaving the ones i'm not sure of normal.

5. what's your sign colour? post what it says. do you think that the colour affects you or relates to you in any way?
"sagittarius' astrological colour is purple.
purple is the royal colour, associated with nobility and worn by kings and queens throughout history. a mysterious colour, purple is also strongly associated with spirituality.
because purple is derived from the mixing of a strong warm and strong cool colour (the opposites of hot red and cool blue combine to create purple), it has both warm and cool properties - much like the sagittarian.
a purple room can boost a child's imagination or an artist's creativity. too much purple in the environment, especially when it's more blue than red, can aggravate moodiness in the sagittarian.
the colour of mourning for widows in thailand, purple was the favourite colour of egypt's cleopatra. the purple heart is a u.s. military decoration given to soldiers wounded in battle.
in the natural world, purple has a special, almost sacred place. purple flowers, such as the lavender, orchid, lilac and violet flowers, are often delicate and considered precious."
purple is my favourite colour, or at least one of my favourite colours. it reminds me of outer space and i love the mysticism that it radiates.
6. post what the site says about your love life. do you find your profile accurate?
"sagittarians are exciting and passionate by nature. these qualities, combined with their optimistic, "why not" attitude to life makes them a lot of fun in a love relationship.
these folks do have a tendency towards being unfaithful, because of their love for variety. they are looking for a mate who can be a partner in adventure. the best love partner for sagittarius is independent, spontaneous and very social, since sagittarius is always wanting to go out and try new things with new people.
they also need someone they can connect with on a mind level."
i can't imagine myself ever cheating in a relationship, i don't want to do that and i don't see the point in it. my ideal partner would be spontaneous and social, but one thing the profile didn't mention, and which i consider a very important quality, is funny. i definitely want to connect on a mind level. i've also noticed that, at least at the moment, i'm a bit scared of commitment. however, that is a complicated thing, and it would take a lot of time for me to explain what i mean by that, so i won't. at least not now.
7. does your astro profile really determine your musical taste? what artists does your profile suggest you'll like most? do you like those artists or genres or do you prefer something else?
"sagittarians gravitate towards world music, because they are very into exploring new cultures. this could include many types of music, from brazilian sambas to reggae to indian and pakistani banghra and bollywood beats.
club music that mixes world music with dance beats is very enjoyable for sagittarius. madonna's latest album is another good pick. sagittarians will also like trancey-dance track outfits such as orbital and massive attack.
sagittarians usually enjoy latin music a lot, so they'll groove to the salsa beat of shakira and other spanish artists."
well that was almost completely wrong.
8. what sports does your profile suggest you try? do you enjoy those sports? if you've never tried them, would you?
"sagittarius are adventurous, super-energetic and competitive. they excel in team sports and sports that require a lot of stamina, including squash, horseback riding, tennis, downhill skiing and marathon running. they are also natural-born archers."
i don't like sports and i'm not super-energetic nor exactly competitive either. i like horseback riding, tennis and downhill skiing. i hate marathon running because i'm in a bad shape. i'm super interested in archery and would love to have it as a hobby. i've tried it as a child (and got a bullseye, mind you) and with motion detecting video games. i love it!
9. the site suggests some places that you (according to your sign) would enjoy travelling to. list the places that are suggested. italicize the ones that you want to visit, cross out the ones that you think is just not for you.
barbados
bangladesh
laos
lebanon
kenya
san diego
10. what is your gem according to your sign? what are some of the aspects and qualities of the gem? would you wear that gem? lastly, post the legend of your gem.
"sagittarius' astrological gem is the turquoise.
turquoise is a vibrant light-blue stone often seen in southwestern jewelry. real turquoise is reasonably priced and quite lovely to behold.
when worn by a sagittarius, the turquoise is supposed to help them to start new projects. in the past, turquoise has been thought to warn the wearer of danger or illness by changing colour. it is also believed to bring happiness and good fortune to those who wear it regularly.
turquoise in legend:
turquoise is probably one of the oldest gemstones known. it was being used before 4000 bc, and was popular in jewelry worn by the ancient egyptian pharaohs and aztec kings. in the 13th century, turquoise was thought to protect the wearer from falling, especially from horseback. in the more recent past, this gemstone was extensively worn and used by indian tribes in the u.s. southwest and in mexico. and indian legend said that if turquoise was affixed to a bow, the arrows shot from it would always hit their mark."
i would wear that, because why not. and i think it would be cool to wear your own gem according to your sign.
11. click here! find your sign and post your horoscope for the day.
"what a drama test today with your friends. it is lucky for you that you do not have to get involved."
12. on this page you'll find your birthday colour. what's yours and what does it say about your personality? do you think it's true?
"birthday colour: cream.
you are an energetic and competitive person. you are probably into sports, and you have the ability to be skilled at many different physical activities. you are a fun person to have on a team and you usually win because you don't like losing. but even if you do, you are always cheerful. you are trustworthy and very outgoing, which makes you popular among friends.
you choose love carefully and don't fall in love easily. but once you find the right person, you don't let go for a long, long time."
again, almost everything is wrong. i'm trustworthy though, and the part about love is very true.
13. click here to find out what year you were born in, according to chinese astrology. does your chinese astrological profile define you?
"year of the ox.
if you want a job done right, give it to an ox. the ox is the sign of hard-work, discipline and slow steady steps towards success. they are often given leadership roles because of their responsible character. ox people are also trustworthy and reliable in personal relationships, but they often clash with others because of their stubbornness and bull-headed opinions. people born under the sign of the ox rarely challenge authority, preferring to follow convention. a solid, dependable sign, the ox can be counted on to follow through on promises."
half true, half not true. i'm not very hard-working, i don't like being the leader, and avoid clashing with anyone. everything else is accurate.
14. according to legend, we were all born under a special tree. click here to find out yours. is this personality profile accurate?
"ash tree.
"the ambition."
people born under this tree are uncommonly attractive and vivacious. they are also impulsive, demanding and do not care for criticism.
ambitious types, these intelligent folks are very talented and usually succeed at what they try. they are also risk-takers who like to play with fate.
although they are sometimes conceited, and their brains sometimes rule over the heart, they are trustworthy souls who take love and relationships very seriously. they are faithful and dedicated love partners."
i don't find myself uncommonly attractive nor vivacious. i'm also not demanding (i don't think) and definitely not conceited.
15. do you read your horoscope everyday? is it often similar to how your day went?
no, i don't. however, one time my horoscope said my lucky day was the same date i was in a paul mccartney concert, which was incredibly important and incredible to me.
16. would you rather rely on your horoscope and astrology to control your destiny and believe that it's part of a "will" or do you believe in making your own destiny despite what your horoscope says?
bit of both. i don't resist what my horoscope says, but if i really want to do something, i'm gonna do it no matter what the stars say.
so there was a lot of reading for you all. i hope you didn't find this post too boring, although it probably is... please tell me what kind of posts you would like to see. it would help me out a lot! ☮
