Her Sun sign is Cancer. If my calculations are correct, her Moon sign is also Cancer. I hope that is correct because I added her to my list "Double Cancer" at:

Ok, I am going to make an exception today. Usually I am meanspirited and cynical but today I am going to be educational.
Why do you assume that I am intelligen5b4t? From your perspective your first and only assumption about me should be that I am an ignorant. An ignorant is somebody who either lacks information on a subject or refuses to accept information available to him (better known as "willfully ignorant").
Obviously you believe in horoscopes and I do not. This leaves us with two possibilities. Either you are a fool, somebody who believes something without good evidence, or you have good evidence for the truth of horoscopes. Assuming that you are not a fool that would mean that you have evidence (and that would further mean that evidence exists) and I do not know about it or at least do refuse to accept that evidencein other words an ignorant. This is the only reasonable position you can hold about me.
So much to me. Now to horoscopes. This here is the horoscope for my sign for today from astrology.com:
The negative feelings you had for someone have improved so much that you are starting to feel like you'd join their fan club, if they had one! The exciting part is that they are singing your praises just as loudly the two of you are on good terms and it was a victory you both fought for. You have grown from tense acquaintances to friends and it's something to celebrate. Consider moving your relationship into a more social arena and building on the foundation you have created together.
This one is interesting because it is highly specific (whi16d0ch is rare for horoscopes). It is also completely false. But let's ignore that fact for a moment.
1 in 12 people are Geminis. How likely is it that today 1 in 12 people have ended a long standing feud in mutual agreement? 0.00%? People and their individual experiences are way more different than that. The idea that large segments of the population would experience the same things at the same time runs counter to any experience and to common sense. And that is one of the main problem of horoscopes. Lives are not interchangeable on such large groups of the population.
Further, tests have been run where people were given descriptions of astrologers about certain people. An astrologer was given somebody's date of birth and location of birth and was told to write a description of that person's character along the lines of "he's a sign XY so he is passionate and". And every time that was done the descriptions were either so generic that they applied to basically everybody or they did not fit that person at all. The most famous example of that test was done on the James Randy show:
Astrology has been debunked and disproven a thousand times over. At this point there is no justification anymore for still believing in it. It is, at best, a joke to chuckle at when encountered. And thus everybody who does still believe in it is a fool or, if I want to be slightly more rude (and as a general rule I always opt for more rude), a moron. -

You are correct. You initially showed no justification for saying you are intelligent yet I said you are intelligent. That was a contradiction. What I usually say is that the person is using their intelligence to be ignorant. Many people do that.
I do not believe that the stars affect us in the manner that Astrology says they do. However Astrology does influence us somehow. I see it. I can't be sure why it does but it does.
First I will say I see no value in horoscopes in newspapers and such. For one thing, my observation is that a person's Moon sign seems to influence them as much as their Sun sign. The Moon sign changes every three days, approximately. I don't pay attention to anything else about Astrology, such as ascendant (rising) sign.
Many people recognize that their is such as a thing as psychic abilities. I call it subconscious communication. If there is such as thing as subconscious communication then it is possible that it is simply people's belief in Astrology that makes it true. However it works, it is my observation that it does, but it is not just a person's Sun sign.
Scorpios are sexy, at least Scorpio women. Pisces are loveable and trusting. Leos take charge. Virgos are analytical. Capricorns are practical; they are more conservative about their life but tend to be liberal about other people's life. Based on very many observations over very many years, it is my belief that Astrology influences us somehow.
There once was a study of Aries people and their tendency to perform athletically. There was a correlation. Then another study was done of the correlation of the tendency for Aries people to do well in sports in general, including things inconsistent with the manner that Aries are supposed to do well in. Based on the second study, the conclusion was that Astrology does not influence us.
Leos are supposed to be domineering and pushy. Yet their are many Leo actresses that seem so pleasant and wonderful. So I admit that Astrology might not influence us; I don't want to close my mind to that5b4 possibility. However I think the negative influences would certainly be less prevalent if the person is happy. A Pisces is less likely to express something bothering them and an Aries is most likely to get rid of anything bothering them.
