30DWC Day 17 - Does My Zodiac Sign Fit Me?

My sign is Virgo.


According to ganeshaspeaks.com, which I have never hear of before now, I am:

• an introvert (sort of true)
• witty (sure)
• wise (eh... arguable)
• well-spoken (this is actually accurate)

Apparently, I also help people solve their problems. Sounds like me. 

However, it also says I "don't sugar coat things... tell it like it is!" This could not be more false! I am the sugariest sugar-coater this side of Candy Land! I don't like to hurt people's feelings, so will almost downright lie to people to make them happy. This is not a good quality. 

Here's the thing: I think horoscopes and the zodiac are a load of crap. All of the signs contain characteristics that are true and not true for everyone. So, of course people identify with their sign. If you really consider what they say, you can identify with them all. 

Not to be Super Extreme Bible Girl or anything, but the Bible legit warns us to stay away from stuff like that. It all goes back to worshiping creation over the Creator. There are several verses on this topic: Daniel 2:27, 1 John 4:1, Isaiah 47:13, etc. The Bible actually mentions this a lot. A big example is in Leviticus:

"I will also turn against those who commit spiritual prostitution by putting their trust in mediums or in those who consult the spirits of the dead. I will cut them off from the community."

Lev. 20:6

He puts these "mediums" in the same category as astrologers and stargazers. The point is, putting your actual faith in this kind of thing is dangerous. I mean, if God Himself says he will cut someone off from His community, it's real serious. 

Again, I don't mean to be uber extreme or anything (and I know most people just do horoscopes for fun), but anything God feels that strongly about probably shouldn't be toyed around with.
