It Must Be a Sign

I always have random thoughts while I am working and today one of those was my horoscope. I use to follow mine in high school but really haven't given it any thought since then, until today. 

I was, and always am, surprised at how well my horoscope describes me! (I used here for my information)

Here is the personality description for a Capricorn:

When it comes to professionalism and traditional values, Capricorn wins hands-down. This practical sign loves to tackle life in the most conventional of ways, leaving no stone unturned. Considered the most serious-minded of the signs, the Capricorn possesses an independence that allows for considerable progress both personally and on the job.

Strengths:
Responsible, good managers, disciplined, self-control, dark sense of humor. 

Weaknesses:
Know-it-all, unforgiving, condescending, expecting the worst.  

Likes:
Family, tradition, quality craftsmanship, understated status, music.  

Dislikes:
Almost everything at some point.  

Best environment:
Positive work situation, urban environments with culture and style, anyplace to be in charge

Capricorn in Love:  

The Capricorn is most often a serious lover preferring to take things slow and steady. You won't see this sign jumping into anything headfirst. Taking relationships one step at a time is the way of the Capricorn. Words can be few with this personality, yet action speaks volumes. The Capricorn values deeds and will go to great lengths to express their affections through them. They're great gift givers and don't bat an eye at the costs of spending a fantastic night out. Genuine and sincere, you can take what few words a Capricorn does say to the bank.

Friends and Family:

Combining a strong wit and a love of humor, the Capricorn makes for terrific company for those they choose as friends. They will surround themselves with people who are honest, loyal, and like-minded when it comes to working values. They cherish loved ones and will go any distance to help a friend or family member out. Traditional by nature, the Capricorn loves nothing more than holidays, such as Christmas, that bring people together with a variety of activities. Although a Capricorn isn't apt to have a large social circle, those included in this sign's life will find someone who is steadfast and true. Emotional displays are not common for a Capricorn. They would rather show how they feel through deed than express by word.

Career and Money:

"Ambition" is the key word for this sign. The key phrase for Capricorn is I use. The Capricorn possesses a real knack for finding the right tool for the job and getting down to it. Starting at the bottom of the ladder and working their way to the top doesn't scare the Capricorn off. They will go the distance once a goal is set.

In addition to setting high standards for themselves, honesty, perseverance, and a dedication to duty make the Capricorn an excellent manager. Loyalty and a willingness to work as hard as necessary are qualities that this sign values greatly within themselves and in those around them. Careers in management, finance, teaching, and real estate are excellent choices.

Capricorns are resourceful and manage their time and money well. Every now and then, the urge to spend some hard-earned cash can see this sign packing some large shopping bags with fun and frivolous items out of the store. But as a rule, caution goes hand in hand with the Capricorn making practical purchases more likely than anything else. Multifunctional items are definitely favored.

So that is me. I bolded the items I especially agree with in how they describe me. 

I also wanted to check out Dylan, he is a Pisces.

Pisces Personality:

"Understanding" is a most appropriate keyword for this gentle, affectionate sign. Easygoing and generally accepting of others around them, Pisceans are often found in the company of a variety of different personalities. Their willingness to give of themselves emotionally lends to an aura of quiet empathy. A Pisces is comforting to be around. While not likely to be the leader, this sign's presence is strong and vibrant in any cause they put their hearts into.

Strengths:
Intuitive, compassionate, artistic, gentle, wise, musical.

Weaknesses:
Can be a victim or martyr, fearful, overly trusting, sad, desire to escape reality.  

Likes:
Spiritual themes, time alone, visual media, time to sleep, romance, music, swimming. 

Dislikes:
Know-it-alls (uh-oh! LOL), the past coming back to haunt, being criticized, cruelty of any kind.  

Best environment:
On or near water, especially the sea. The movie theater.

Pisces in Love:                                                                                                                  Deep within the Piscean beats the heart of the diehard romantic. Loving, tender, and exceptionally giving, this sign cherishes intimacy deeply. They are passionate lovers that need to feel a real connection with their mates. Quick flings and superficial interludes do not bide well for the Piscean whatsoever. In relationships, they are fiercely loyal and doting. They love to give gifts and to make the person in their life feel like a million dollars. Nothing is too good for the Piscean's love interest 

Friends and Family:

Gentle Pisceans make some of the best friends there are. In fact, they often put the needs of their friends ahead of their own. Loyal, dedicated, supportive and compassionate, no problem is too big for the Piscean to take on. Big or small, when a challenge arises for family or friend, they will be there in every capacity possible to make things better. Deeply intuitive, Pisceans can often sense when something is askew long before anything is said.

Pisceans are expressive by nature and don't hesitate to let those around them know how they feel. It's not surprising for a Pisces to write a song for someone, or to buy a gift that is heartfelt and meaningful. They prefer others to be as open with them as they are. Communication with loved ones is considered most important.

Career and Money:

Intuitive and often dreamy, the Piscean is most comfortable in positions that bring their creative natures into humanitarian causes. Some good careers for this sign are lawyer, architect, veterinarian, musician, social worker, and game designer. The key phrase for this sign is "I believe." It's important for the Piscean to feel strongly about their endeavors.

Inspired by the need to make a difference in the lives of those they touch, the Piscean is most charitable and will often go way above and beyond the call of duty. Sensitive, deeply compassionate, hardworking, dedicated and reliable, this is one sign that really knows how to get to the heart of the matter. They can be excellent problem solvers.

For the most part, Pisceans don't give money too much thought. They are more concerned with their dreams and goals than with money. Yet, because this is often times a component to reaching their aspirations, the Piscean will ensure they have the money they need. They can be of two minds in this area. On one hand the Pisces will spend, spend, spend with little thought, and on the other hand they can become quite miserly. Yet, in the end there'll always seem to be enough to do what they want in life.

Definitely describes Dylan pretty well too. 

The most interesting thing was the connection from the "Western" astrological sign to the Chinese calendar. The Capricorn is linked to the Ox, which is the Chinese year Dylan was born in, and the Pisces is linked to the Rabbit, which is the year I was born in (I come before the Chinese new year, otherwise I would be a dragon). And we do have some tendencies of each other as well. I think it is just meant to be. Apparently when you look to the stars, we are perfect counterparts.
