Astrological Birth Signs of the X-Men

[skylar]

Lets try and determine what we think the birth signs are for the various x-men.

first state your own and whether you are typical of your sign just to give everyone a sense of how you fall into the zodiac, then list what x-men you are considering and what signs you think they are...

i'm a scorpio and 100% so. i'm deeply interested in the characteristics of my sign and whatever sign i'm currently having sex with (leo as it stands).

(you don't have to just do x-men under your sign, but i am)

(i have no idea if any of this is confirmed anywhere in the books):

rogue - scorpio - sex is a huge part of her life and she can't have it, i feel like she is passionate lover and her secretiveness is characteristic of her sign
emma frost - scorpio - sex as power, typical scorpio, loyal unless you cross her then a real bitch
jean grey - gemni - dual personalities and both seem honest, seems very typical gemni, i'd probably hate her in real life
iceman - aries (ironically a fire sign) - bubbly, outgoing, likes to be the center of attention, creative
wolverine - cancer - nurturing figure despite gruff exterior, protective shell exterior with claws that can come out when he needs to protect or serve, very very cancer

i will think about more and post them as they come to me, feel free to add or argue with me...

I'm Not Surprised Hitler Was A Taurus

By Trish Arnquist

While going through some old copies of Star Signs for my upcoming garage sale, I came across something pretty wild. Did you know that Carmen Electra and Joey Lawrence were born on the same day as Adolf Hitler? Isn't that insane? I had Carmen and Joey totally pegged as Leos. You know, artistic, spontaneous, generous... As for Hitler, though, no surprise that guy's a Taurus.

In fact, just a few days ago, I had the History Channel on, and there was this program about Nazis or something, and when Hitler came on, wearing his swastika uniform and looking all high and mighty, I was like, "Oh, yeah, that guy's definitely a Taurus. Just look at his outfit." My high-school friend Becca was a Taurus, and they're totally cut from the same cloth: They're earthy, but don't let that fool you.

My father's one, so I know: Taurus is crazy about his routines! Growing up, whatever my dad said was the law. Whether it was not letting me go out on a school night or forcing me to eat all my vegetables, there was no use trying to reason with him. In fact, I used to say, "Dad, you're such a Nazi." It's weird the things our psyches tell us.

I wonder if Hitler was an Aries rising. That would explain his temper. Taurus has a temper enough, but boy, when Aries starts seeing red, you better get as far away from him as you can! Flee to another country if possible. Just pack up your belongings, load your children into the car, and go, go, go! Last thing you want to do is stick around when you're on the outs with Taurus, Aries rising.

Earth signs tend to be ambitious and really concentrate on a single purpose. Taurus, in particular, is known for cracking the whip. Is that so Hitler, or what?

I mean, how did Hitler's friends even deal with him? When I'm even in the same room with a Taurus, I start to freak. Of course, I'm a Gemini, and air signs don't get along so well with earth signs. I bet most of Hitler's top brass were Pisces. Pisces and Tauruses make good matches. Eva Braun's sign was Aquarius. I imagine that was a rocky relationship! Aquarius rocks the boat, and Taurus doesn't like that one bit! Which I guess explains why her marriage to Hitler was so short.

Taurus can be arrogant, which can really get him into trouble. I saw on that show that Hitler invaded Russia in June. June is rarely a good time for Taurus to undertake any new projects. True, Mercury was ascendant, but Stalin, the leader of Russia at the time, was a Sagittarius, a fire sign. In that combination, earth's the one that's going down. As an air sign, I would have gotten along much better with Stalin.

It may have been obvious to me all along, but not everyone is so perceptive. For instance, my friend Sarah, on a couple of occasions, has mentioned that she will never understand why Hitler did the things he did. I wonder if she knows he was a Taurus.

Their birthdays have to be in their Wiki's... right?

[skylar]

i don't get it, is it bad, we all think about these characters anyways, and i'm the sort that likes to know people's signs....anyway...

[skylar]

i don't know...i've never seen one, anyway i think its curious. i'd like david sexton to make an x-men tarot, maybe i'll ask him to make one with me next time i see him...

[Bryan H]

Man, that's jacked up. I have the same birthday as Hitler and I've killed way less than a thousand jews. He gives us other Taurus' a bad name.

Hell YEAH Scorpio *high fives*

[Jef UK]

i'm a scorpio and 100% so.

By "100% so," do you mean, "more than 50% of the vague description of what it's supposed to mean to be a Scorpio matches my own interpretation of myself"?

[Rosemary's Baby]

Ahh astrology. What doesn't it know?

[ClintP]

What special powers do I have for being born on D-Day? (June 6)

This thread rocks.
If you believe in Astrological Signs, then you should just ask the X-Men what their signs are, since you probably believe in them being real, too.

Awesome.

I too am a scorpio and am also nerdilly interested in such things. Honestly I don't have anything to add to your X-Men atrological assessments because I think you're pretty spot-on! And I think you'll appreciate this...

Dr. Strange is perhaps the character that has *the most* scorpio traits/backround than any other that I know of. Re-read his origin issue. Every single scorpio trait (positive and negative) as well as the scorpiotic death/rebirth cycle and sexual/tantric undercurrent is all there right on the page. It's like reading an astrology book about our people.

[Matt O'Keefe]

Way too much time on your hands.

[skylar]

Awesome.

that's awesome, i'm going to check it out.

speaking of the death/rebirth aspects of the scorpio, one of the representations is the phoenix and i thinks its interesting that a lot of the guys i know that are scorpios are drawn to a lot of phoenix imagery. when i ask them about it, they usually are unaware that its the highest form of scorpio (the lowest being the snake of forbidden knowledge, the middle being the scorpio of sex/death). i think its interesting that they are drawn to the imagery without knowing how central it is to their sign.

[DAVE]

Muliple Man is probably a Libra.
And The Scorpion is probably a sagitarius

[skylar]

i don't get why people hate on this. if you don't like it astrology or x-men, leave me alone. if you do, comment.

i like astrology. i think it tells a lot about people. i don't think it tells my future, but if i did, why do you care. maybe you pray, i don't think that does anything.

why it makes sense to me: on a subatomic level we are represented by orbs centered around 2 helical strands, the position of which determines a lot of our characteristics. these positions are a result of the interaction of myriad factors but could be summed up by the 4 basic physical forces. to me, its no stretch of the imagination that the position of similarly represented (though astronomically larger) bodies, the planets, which exert a degree of affect on these forces would affect our personalities in some observable way, namely ones astrological birth signs.

anyway, no one asked you to believe in it, but don't ruin everyones fun by being rude. i'm not trolling your thread saying talking about who is or isn't a skrull is a waste of time.

anyway, i think magneto is a taurus, besides the ram horn like imagery that decorates his helmet (that i never thought of before till now) he's a stubborn ass who i can't imagine changing his mind.

Hi! Welcome to the internet, where people are not always nice, and when you post on a message board about things, not everyone is going to agree with you, or even like you, or be civil. And some people may be downright rude and condescending.

I suggest getting a thicker skin, sucking it up and fighting back.



Also, Astrology is really, really fucking stupid.

[Colby]

The best revenge, actually, IS to go into one of our threads and talk shit about something we like.

I started a Go! Team thread last night. Go in there and call Ninja a whore.

[James Sime @ Isotope]

Also, Astrology is really, really fucking stupid.
Hmmm.

... simple four-chord Ramones punk rock, old unreliable gas-guzzling musclecars, spending too much money on alcohol at bars instead of drinking for much cheaper at home, machines that do nothing but blow fireballs in the air, seeing live music without wearing earplugs, comic book superheroes I should have outgrown years ago...

Looks like I really, really like the really, really fucking stupid things.

Nope, those things are all good.

Astrology is really stupid though. The idea that giant flaming balls of plasma and clumps of rocks in space can have an influence on a persons personality is dumb.


Like "sniffing pee to get rid of the plague, and burning witches" dumb.

Oh, thanks for reminding me... I think burning witches is cool too! Anyone want to make s'mores?
