These days people have taken the zodiac sign thing to the extreme .. blaming all their bad characters and habits on it.
I can’t say for sure if it’s a sole contributor to ones innate character or nature ... but I know when you analyze ones habits and preferences or behavioral characteristics it somehow aligns with what ever ones zodiac traits are
I don’t think people consider it before getting married, it’s not important enough to be considered in this part of our world
Although Indians do, the Indian movies I have watched shows that they check for zodiac compatibility to determine
If a union should take place or not.
But since we exhibit some of the characters of our zodiac traits,
If not 💯percent at least to a large extent I believe each and everyone of us exhibit one or two or all of our zodiac traits.. marrying a person whose trait is opposite from yours or might cause a bit of friction, but like I said as an adult what ever trait or character you exhibit that is bad should be changed and Unlearnt for a better one, don’t go about proudly blaming learnt bad habits or bad character on your zodiac sign traits ..
I am a Scorpio and I have found out that most, not all but most of Scorpio zodiac traits can be found in my character or way of doing or living Life ...
Lol, so true dear.
Even the good trait they don't posse, but the bad habit they say it's their zodiac sign
Exactly
Humans just find a way to give excuse to justify themselves
Even me😂😂😂😂
Yeah you right
Most people blame their bad behaviours on zodiac sign but truth is we can always change for the good one
You know some people take these zodiac sign into consideration?
Have seen a lady who added it to her top list in getting a spouse.
She no get work
Hwhehehe she never ready to marry 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂💔
The way our generation think and do things these days ehnnn
Asin en
This generation of people getting married
I am scared
They are doing so for the wrong reasons
Imagine someone finding a spouse with zodiac sign as top of her list
Wow
Datz unserious humans!
me too, the signs I see ehn.. na rope fit..🤐🤐🤐🤐
Lol rope fit what ??????
Wetin them dey use rope do..?
It's not only this generation though, it is every generation.
It is even better with ours because most people have knowledge and will choose not to marry instead.
e be like say that lady no wan marry.
Lol..she never ready.
😆 make she dey there dey mumu, the zodiac sign she is looking for will still show her pepper.
She no know say men in general Dey stain person white
Zodiac or not
😆 them go rub you dirty oil tell you say your cloth clean.
You're right. It is exactly that. The fact that people justify bullshit with zodiac signs is sickening. Wtf Is "that's the way I am"????!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don’t mind them
Instead of owning up to their bad character
"That's the way I am"... biggest and dumbest excuse for being a useless person. I fit slap that person...walahi
Or make you wipe am cord
😂😂😂
Guy you sef na street boy. dem don use cord draw cannal for your body before?
lol,, thats the way I am wired..
na prison them dey.. dey collect wire
to rewire their brain.
walahi... their brain go just set.
The fact that the traits are malleable and extremely subject to change puts the authenticity of the zodia signs in question. Are they really "real" or just an arrangement made by some listless individual somewhere.
I think it's silly when people blame everything to zodiac signs, clearly everyone cannot fit into it and it isn't always correct.
True
Hi!! How is the weekend going with you?
You see this zodiac issue ehn, many people have attached their bad characters horoscope or Zodiac and that hasn't be helpful to them.
When I first read of Zodiac signs at a younger age, back them the Punch newspaper was publishing horoscope forecast on a daily basis, it wasn't just working. I had to close my eye at it.
I don't believe in it, not one bit.
aaaaaah.. you don tey for this game, I sabi those punch papers, 3 things I looked out for were the cartoon page, efe and Jude, the sudoku and one tiny column where the horoscope is, I mostly ignore that sha
E be like say you dey the game for long. I bin follow the horoscope segment for sometime shaa but the thing no make sense.
Each time tried weighing it side by side with my daily life, they are two ways apart.
Are you me? lol

I think the problem isn't even with Zodiac signs, it's just generally with people looking for ways to put blame on things instead of taking responsibilities for their actions.
True
Human being like to look for something else or someone else to apportion blame on for their weaknesses or failures
Yes oh, no one like to take blame.
!LUV
To me, Zodiac signs are just fun things, I love looking at them but I don't take it any serious.
I am a Taurus, and I am an earth sign and we are represented by bulls.
I wish 😆 I don't even look at these when I date but, maybe I should because I have noticed that I am more compatible with people the signs say I am.
I do a lot, I have strong desires just like the signs said, prone to anger and all that.
Generally I think Zodiac signs are just cool, and even though I have heard people say it's demonic, I don't care (please don't come and tell me it is), it's not that deep.
You seem a fan... I'm Taurus too btw
You don see your wife. Oya na to chop una jollof rice remain. @khaleesii @samostically
aswear 🤣🤣🤣
Whose hive has joined together, let no one put assunder🏃♂️🏃♂️🤩

Hmmm... You no come tell me anything about this... No wahala
I check my compatibility, so I currently like evry girl wey be cancer or pices

Heard people say several times it demonic too but somehow it always in line with it attributes I mean people who fall under specific one, one way or the other act according to the signs
I'm Taurus too
Demonic ehe
Just hearing this for this first time...lol
People say it demonic several time I'm still yet to connect the demonic part to what it has to do with signs
Ok, I don't even take it seriously or even read about it
I just know mine, just in case am asked at any point at least i can give an answer
Abeg who want ask me about my Zodiac sign? Is that what they do in Job interviews?
Hahahaha not that they will ask you in interview oo
You just need to be enlightened, just in case you friends are talking about it, you won't be dumb
That's the only reason i get to know about mine
Omo. I don't care about Zodiac signs... that's why I dont know about it. If my friends are talking about it, I will just keep quiet and be looking at them. It doesn't make me dumb.
The first time i heard about zodiac signs was from my friends
Also they will be like am Gemini and this and that
Omo i had to go know my own
It doesn't make you dumb, tho Because you know somethings they don't know
I know how it feels not to be able to contribute to a conversation being made by your friends. It sucks, sometimes. But I have learnt not to care.
Oh you are a guy
Enter girls conversation 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍😂
E no matter. Guy dey chop girl food, so na same same
This parable i no understand oo
Hahaha
Not an official chomthing🤣
so who dey ask? Abi na part of first date question?
🤩🤩🤩🤩abegi lemme oo
E fear me oo.
I go just tell them it's not my inclination.
I have also heard it before oh, some ancient demonic something.
Nigerians and demons ehe
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I sha no believe anything, i just live my life being a good person
Not considering any sign having effect on me
Exactly, they exist yes, but not everything is demonic.
Lol
Exactly
If you believe something it works for you
Yes.
It is demonic ooo😂😂😄
very demonic chomthing. It was enacted by the order of the black knights. 😂
😂😂😂😂
Lol are you serious?
Hey twinses, omo me I am not worshipping it so if it's demonic, it's not my business.
Lol...wo don't mind them
You are right here though as long as it does not involve the worship part
It just for fun.
Exactly.
omo, its demonic jor 😏
Will you leave this place?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
hehehehehe Omo, are you sure that Zodiac is not showing you what you want to see?
Very funny
Ot is time to hold a trust for horoscope and zodiac signs and I respect your decision. But I bring you good report.
What God has designed for you, eyes have not seen, ears have not heard. I will rather you clinch on what He has for you than what horoscope has said.
No one trusts it ojare, abeg everything is not that deep.
Aha haha. All this white people will always come.up with something that would make people begin to change their minds.
Me, my mind is iced already. I refuse to believe the horoscope🤣😂
No be white people bring Christianity to us?
Na dem ooo. The thing come make sense pass our traditional worship Nah.
Oya na, no be them dey give us everything.
Nah you talk so oooo. I believe in our culture but all these borrowed cultures are just putting us in a twist.
You believe in your culture but you are Christian? You know our culture and Christianity do not align?
Culture is different from Africa Traditional Religion. I am African, one clear difference between our form of worship and theirs is that ours is barbaric.
As a Christian, do you know the history of Christianity? Not the biblical one though
History of Christianity kwa. I have not oooo. I just hold on to what the Bible has to offer.
Okay then, well same can be said of Christianity because of it's history but anyways lets not talk about it.
Yeah. It could talk for another.
So, what your Zodiac saying about you today?
I don't check it daily na, na work?
🙄
It's not a pleasant history 😕
Exactly.
That's what they told us. Meanwhile, there are Christian practices these people came with that are barbaric. People currently practicing traditional religions don't do these so called barbaric things you speak of as far as I know.
Hmm.
I think you should get a little closer to some of these traditionalists to see how things are being done.
The blood sacrifices to some other secret enchantment they are involved in.
Did they bring it to us?
I don't think so, I don't think Christianity is something owned by the white, they were also Christianized by the Romans and if you trace back Africa is somewhere in the timeline of the spread of Christianity before Missionaries came into Nigeria, so If they didn't come, True Christianity was bound to touch all. The religious culture also has its funny beliefs, each should hold on to what they believe.
What I don't like is being in two places, if you're doing Horoscope, do Horoscope and if you are believing God, stand firm.
No one is doing horoscopes, most people take it as jokes, I know I do and Christianity was brought to us by the whites, all those stories are long and that is the fact.
Normal e no really deep like that.
Na people just dey carry m for head
😂😂 this is new, I didn't know some refer to it as demonic
They do oh, plenty people especially in your country 😆
😂😂 e choke. I'm not surprised sha, everything is related to spiritual powers over here
I guess there is a scripture against it in the Bible though; in translation so maybe that's why.
Oh I see. Oh well, they will be fine
They will 😆
I am Aquarius. Since my date is Jan 24.
I don’t have anything thoughts about zordiac signs but i know people get attracted when they know they are having the same sign.
My life partner. I don’t care about zordiac sign to choose anybody.
First i need to check the traits of Aquarius.
Lol...you will be surprised when someone tells u they can't date you because you're Aquarius 😅
😅😂😅😂…
Then I go move on. Plenty fish dey inside water 😅
Fish and dogs abi 😂😂😂...
Women are fish, men are 🤐🤐🤐.

There are quite some truth here. Forget it Aquarius is a spec
It's funny how I, supposedly a Saggitarius fit in almost perfectly to these descriptions.
loool... you be aquasaggitaugoat and fish😄😄😄😄
walahi @jaydr you no well😂
Lool.. ase na ase
Hype yourself my brother, I will soon auction you out.
😂😂💔💔
People get attracted when they know they have the same color of shoes, or bag, or they lived in the same neighborhood 20, 000 years ago.
Point is, this thing is another psychology trick. And people have swallowed it.
Smiles... You forgot same birthdays and same names...
Exactly.. any similarity breeds liking.
Aquarius is clever, exceptional and optimistic, hmmm, it fits you I guess 😆
am I not all these too.. 😂😂😂
🏃🏃
I'm not a big fan of zodiac signs. I don't even know mine. I just find it preposterous that people try to justify their silly behaviors and traits through some interstellar bullshit.
But I think there is a way you can turn the signs in your favour. I mean, if my zodiac says I'm hardworking, there is a possibility that I would want to work hard for that reason. It makes sense in that instance.
But Omo, I don't judge people by their signs and I feel like we should have outgrown this thing but of course, trust the fucking millennials and gen Z folks to make everything about signs. 🤦
Lol. The only time I remember about zodiac signs is when someone ask me. Not a fan of stuffs like that.
Yeah this is so true.
The same goes opposite as well. Some might use their zodiac sign to justify their bad characters.
You Sabi the scope boss.
Another thing I think is that when people say that they see similar traits with their signs, I feel like it's the good ones.
Like if the sign says they are smart, everyone wants to be smart, so the folks will like to think of themselves as being smart which doesn't mean they are. They might be dumb as a board
You are right here,some persons who even posses the bad habit doesn't even posses the good sides relating to their zodiac sign.
And when you advise them to change, they will be like
"That's my zodiac sign, I can't change"
Omo, if person tell me that "I can't change" 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I don move
No be only you ooo
Like @starstrings01 said, there are many fishes in the river..lol
Starstrings na hot cake na
Them go rush am, no be like us 😅
Lol
Wahala no too much
Well, people don't only use Zodiac signs to justified bad behavior though, it is used for other reasons.
Reason like??
Please share, i will like to learn
Good reasons also, for some people it can be a source of direction.
Am I the only one that is seeing that this is positive motivational psychology?
Scholar 🙌
Boss, you know say na you teach us these things...
Na you be doctor na 🫡🥹
This one no be human body nah. Na psychology things.. You be grandmaster of the art.
I'm only a student master 🙌
A student master or a Masters student? which one is it you highness?
Na you be master guy
No day whine me na 🥲
Hehehe.
It's not only millennial or Genz ojare, it's just not a Nigeian things, it is generally very popular.
Yeah, people should blame their zodiac for rubbish but still.
It's general but it's more popular amongst young people, especially slay queens 😭😭😭😭
Folks don't even know the origin of zodiacs 🤣
It's just because of social media though
partly
Majorly, did we know about it before?
yes we had the sky 🫣😎
😆
The zodiaco sign are the Energy that convert un unique a person because dont have alone one for the Energy of the other astral in the sky, born with one it's true but have another four that influence AND i agree have a Lilith AND middle sky that influence a person. The best to revenge, the most spiritual AND lust of all my sign of zodiac Is Scorpio from oct/24 first decan of those influence by Géminis, Acuario, Tauro AND Sagitario. Yes, my actually Partner Is Aries influenced for Virgo, Escorpio, Leo AND Piscis alone in the privacity AND fortune wheel are good, another figth all day because both personality are explossive.
All in my are considerated to Scorpion the zodiac máster of spiritual, lust, so brilliant un Energy, charismatic AND good person. I read a card AND considerated midium another It am so apasionated AND jelous with a Partner AND friendo, good un good, bad un bad.
font
Well explained
You must have studied and learnt alot about zodiac sign.
For me I don't really see it to have much effect on a person's personality.
My option tho, i stand to be corrected
The sign AND the eduation of the people hace influence but the sign AND own character are predefinited, AND learn 20 years about the sign AND it's a continuos learning about the World, universe and people
Predefined???
Wow
Does it mean before i was born, i was designed to have the Libra Zodiac sign?
20years, that's really alot
predefined? That's pretty slim when compared with the reality we face.
You understood that thing over there? Mehn, you must be an astronomer @prechidi
Lol
I actually read it so many times
You have been blessed with the blissful gift of patience... mate
Hahhahahahahah
Make i use this one hold myself
Thank you very much dear
Yo mate, I got brain freeze 🥶 trying to comprehend this.
Help me out here 🙏
Lol no be only you
omo 🤣🤣
Uhmmmm, I am confused, can you be clearer?
He is trying to explain that your zodiac alone does not define you and that it is also influenced by 4 others so if he is scorpio, he also affected by others in the sky..gemini, aquarios, sagitarius and bla bla..
we know not what we meddle with"
Uncle every person in this comments knows that Zodiac signs don't define us.
No ooo.. it does na.. sebi they will read it daily.. some people do.. Lol
No be me ehhh
Am a Leo, 20th August though I was thought that zodiac is a devilish thing, I learnt to shy away from it.
Somehow truthful I exhibit the characters it says about Leo's been compassionate and all but zodiac won't have a say in my relationships😂😂😂
