I wonder if there's any connection between AD/HD and our Astrological Signs.

sorry, but i really doubt it ~ i'm a scorpio

Well Tara....I'm a Pisces...the fish...the water sign...and I LOVE to swim...and ya know what??? after I get out of the pool, I AM able to focus a bit better....the depression is a bit better....who knows?

Joan

Libra here. And it drives me nuts to have things all in a mess. Which is most of my life. I need to hot glue my scales to keep them balanced I guess..lol

This will be interesting.

Capricorn here....Horny?...LOL Stubborn for SURE, along with passionate, headstrong, and driven to succeed.

Ok well, having had hippys for parents I know my whole dang chart------Im on the cusp of sag and cap (and I was surprised at the bipolar diagnosis???) with sag rising ( fun at partys, whether just me and one other person or a multitude), a conjunction of planets in virgo (maman used to tell me it made me a detail oriented person, one who vacumes obsessively yet I didnt know I was ocpd? go figger) and a moon in leo.... do I get to vote multiple times? ( she said "multiple")

Cancarian here,crabby, crusty and nips like a b****, lol,perfect description, crab through and through.

Taurus here...stubborn but forever loyal.
---claudia

Okay I must confess. A very long time ago, I had a what cha ma call it done.......ummmmmm the sign thingy. You know the word. I am being serious here, I can't remember...like the chart.

Anyway, it read just like an ADHD person. I thought it was the neatest and most unusual thiing. I wonder where I put that piece of paper at????

I'm cancer by the way.

Make that a triple Saggitarius...says the astrology books:)

Did we lose some posts here??? I'm a Pisces and proud of it....water water water everywhere....I love to drink it...and swim in it....pools are wonderful......and Cape Cod oceans in Massachusetts are the greatest....

HEHEHE!
A lot of Pisces ...
If you ever watch Batman again you might catch a line where the Joker
refers to himself as being a pisces...
Just somthing to think about... ;)

Uh-oh! I'm a pisces! :p

Very nice SmartIdiot....we have something in common....hey I was wondering about your name...SmartIdiot....isn't that name sort of like an oxymoron or something???

But of corse!

Many with ADD are smart but dont apear to be to those around them.
How I feel a lot of times, I'm smart but incapable of using it.
Thus I made my name :)

Excellent point and so clever and creative choice for a name.....:)

Gemini

My birthday is on Friday June 13, I will be 39. And this year is 03, hows that for wacky?:D

I am a cappy. And I love it.

Quite the Aries..... :cool:

Virgo here.... hmmmmm

I never put much credence in Horoscopy (even though I'm a sixties kid....). I'm visionary but not very mystical -- my science/engineering training showing up here.

Birthdate clusters tend to reflect common experiences 9 months beforehand -- like all the "NY Blackout Babies" of the sixties.

Other common trends are March babies (June weddings) and September Babies (Happpppyyyy Noooo Yeeeeeeer!).

As far as AD/HD is concerned.....?

I would guess Hyper/Impulsive parents would have more children at *other* times than people who can stick to a schedule.

This is indeed food for thot........

But -- I'd like to see more responses before drawing a statistical conclusion from this survey (preferably twice as many or more).

Ken

im an aries....

Capricorn -- I'm a horny goat.

Errr. . . . horned goat

No - wait -- horny goat sounds about right :D

GEMINI!!!

Isn't that scary?? You already never know what mood a Gemini will be in, then add the ADD into it . LMAO

Although, I have a lil something of one of the other signs...just haven't figured it out yet.

Tina

Like vinceptor, I don't hold much with this stuff either - funny though, that there are 6 capricorns here (including me), but no Leos or Scorpios. But maybe that is not so surprising. Probablility is not always exactly common sense. You only need 23 people in a room before it becomes more likely than not that two have the same birthday.

Just realised, going back out of this page, that there are 6 birthday greetings on the current "General Talk" page, five of which, being before August 22nd (had to look it up to get the exact date) are to/for Leos - one of them is even called "lionlady"! (Hi, lionlady - is that where your alias comes from, if you don't mind my asking?) Bang goes that (in any case extremely shallow) hypothesis of mine.

Cusp Gemini/Taurus...I suppose that makes my schizophrenic split personalities quite stubborn. I can argue with myself for ours and neither of me ever gives up!! Luckily, with no short term memory, both of me forgets the topic and we go off and procrastinate together for a while.

Sleepz.

Very nice answer! Saw this on Friday, but don't remember the 'coat of arms' (v.gorgeous). Is it new?

Thanks for this brilliance of a probability.....I always heard the question in the form of "If there are 100 people in a room, what is the probability that two of then have have the same birthday"??

Looks like the probability is pretty good if you say that it only takes 23 people before there is a birthday match.....I mean there are 365 possible dates....Better probability than I always thought....:)

It's a dragon on a rocky crevice. I have a penchant for collecting dragons....To go in my castle I will build one day. At this stage; it's more likely to be a dog house size castle; not a full size one. Apparently; I'm a bout a gazillion dollars short of the full size one.

sleepz

**snickers**we go off to procrastinate together**man we are a funny bunch of cocnuts

I can argue with myself for hours and neither of me ever gives up!! Sleepz! Does this discribe most of us or what?!

Scorpius here..........

I don't hold much for daily horoscopes that you get in newspapers.. internet etc.
but i do see a resembelenace
between many folk of the same star sign.

i am a scorpio, and most of my 'good' freinds are
aquaruis, haveing 7 of them,
next was libra with 3 friends
then taurus 4 and last Gemini,
but my best friends are Aqarius -female
and Gemini - male,

Ive noticed aquarians are particualrly
fussy clean people, who like boxes,
they would put boxes inside boxes if they had thier way
also they are very open minded, nature loving people,
who some times do not see past their own ways,

of course every one is individual and not the same.

Heh Scorpio here too :D

High five, steve :D (bday comming soon huh? one month at least)

Yeah and i got the temper and stubborness that are supposely related to the sign. But as steve.. i don't really read/believe horoscopes and that stuff. :D:)

AQUARIUS! My first post here, my first time finding this community. It looks great!

Welcome to the ADD Forums, mistersnoid :) It would be great if you would take a moment to introduce yourself in the Introductions section :)

Yield signs are my favorite. That way, you only need to slow down if another car is approaching the intersection; otherwise, you can just pass on throught :p . Although, the "no soliciting" sign on my front door works pretty good to.:p


I was here, (and now I'm gone)



Jay :D :D

6/9/63 I am Gemini, I love the word. I am not into my horrible scope, or asstrology but I think it's fun. I am as gemini as they come! My asstrological chart says I am capricorn moon and a leo rising. Which I have been told might be interpreted as Gemini being my sun sign is what I have supposedly acheived good ability in a previous life (communication), Capricorn moon sugest buisness sense or ability, and Leo is my quest for this lifetime which was told to me by the astrologer was to be a performer. Learn to perform as I was a closet musician in europe, yet a renown healer in a past life.
This is something I remember being told at least 15 years ago. I believe in everything and I believe in nothing. Ignorance is bliss.
more than ya probably cared to know.
j9

I am an Aries

My sun sign is Libra, on the cusp of virgo. Aquarius rising and Capricorn moon: triply indecisive, with a brooding disposition and naive ideals.

Hardly any water signs but for Scorpio in my chart, mostly air and fire- BOOM!

Steve- that's hilarious! With an Aquarius rising I'm sometimes more Aquarius than anything else- I wish I had a box for everything! And I WILL put boxes inside boxes. In fact, I've been trying to unpack since August and it's really hard for me to mess up my nice packing job and turn all my stuff back into the usual mess! Very fussy.
Those daily horoscopes are ridiculous. As a Libra they're always telling me to go and socialize or go to a cocktail party or something- what are those people thinking! I've done lots of reading on astrology in the past, and basically from what I understand, it will always be misleading to only follow the influences of the Sun sign; which pertains to much of people 'surface' traits, or at least how we interact with each other- supposedly. I see that there's truth in that, anyway. Okay stop typing already!

I am a gemini and i read somewhere that us gemini's are mentally unstable, egocentrics and intillectuals....just a few signs of a true ADHD person. Hehehehe! I am proud of it!!!!!!!

There is one horriblescope that is not so horrible. It is...
tarot.com
Its the only one I look at.

aquarius here!

pieces all the way!!!

by the way i think all the signs have some traits of ADD,
(fine by me!!) :D

"by the way i think all the signs have some traits of ADD"

absolutely. I'm a Libra - can usually not make up my mind about anything because I see both sides, like both colors, like doing both things at once....

gemini here (but with scorpio rising so have been told to read for both signs

still not sure it's an influence!

I'm glad I did a search for this, I was about to post the same poll :)

I'm not a big believer in general astrology, but I am somewhat of a believer in more exact astrology (I don't know a lot about it, but I believe it does have an influence on us). Hope that made sense!

My daughter is a Gemini, and I always joke that she does have two very distinct, different personalites. I mentioned this to a friend last night and he said he is too, and made a comment about Gemini's being very ADD prone. Just one of those things that going my mind wandering a hundered different directions, and was wondering what everyone's sign is :).

If sign influances this poll then I think it more likely effects who is voting. I have a brother who is a leo who I am fairly sure is ADD and we may get it from my father who is also a leo. I do find it amusing it was my vote that put capricorn in first place.:cool:

My sign? I'm Feces. Dude! We're compatible! ;-)

Sorry couldn't resist. :-)

Show me your t*ts!

Sorry. I just got back from Mardi Gras. One of the guys I was with was walking around with a big sign saying that, lol.

Funny, I would have thought there'd be more of us airheads... I mean, Air SIGNS. :D

I can't vote, but I am an airhead oooops I mean air sign.
Gemini.

Perhaps the Gemini's are still deciding weather or not to post! I was arguing with my unstable split, personality, intilectual,two faced self for the longest time before I decided to contribute my vote for Gemini.

I had actually been looking for such a poll! I do not follow astrology or anything else for that matter realy - as someone on this thread said "I believe in everything and I believe in nothing"
Ooh I love that! Any way ..I too had been wondering if there is any sort of connection.

Based on all the Gemini's I know (body count 3, head count 6 or more!) They all have this playfull, kinda sillieness - all spell bad, seem to live a somewhat double life

I just forgot my thought or point if there was one -


Im off to go overanylize something

I love that, "I'm off to go overanalyze something" That is definately my sign! I think it would be great to be able to overanalyze with a fellow gemini man in a relationship. Then if I was younger we could have overanalyzing children.
I am the believer in everything and nothing. And I relish in my ignorance. These are my thoughts on religion and so many other things. Ignorance or nicer called not knowing is a great place to me, as then you can analyze forever!

Whats an "air sign"? (I think I know what an air head is...)

"OUT TO LUNCH"

lol

Aries...and I butt heads!! lol

I must analyze this further! .....

What was the subject again?

Here's my sign...Heh. (Sign changed, to clear up confusion)

I read AGES ago ...probably when I was a teen, that Aquarians have a diffidult time finishing anything. I wondered for a long time if it was just a self-prophesizing (spelling?) thing. I have never put much stock into my horoscope but that one has stuck in my memory. Yes, it is quite accurate for me. But I'm more of a no-nonsense type. Still......hmmm.....

Well, I geuss Pisces fits. I mean, I'm a sailor by trade, I would spend all my time in schools if I could, and from what I've been told, I'm a little wet behind the ears.

This thread raises something I've been thinkinabout this week.
When (socially) you don't fit, you look for explanations - astrology, psychology, anthropology, neurology, etc .... etc.
I used to attribute all my ADD characteristics to the ADD-type ones that supposedly characterise my Sun sign (undisclosed ... hehe), others to my English (maternal) lineage and yet others to my Afro-Caribbean (paternal) lineage.
But hey, guess what .... ALL the signs have some ADD characteristics, but it would be interesting to do a paper analysis of the "most ADD" signs.
Once I realised that many of my most neuro-atypical characteristics were ADD-attributable, I did far less wondering about the previously-blamed sources of them.
That said, the similarities manifested by those of like sign are very intriguing - but again, are we seeing too much into astrology ?

I love your analyisis... It is typical of the add way of thinking. If we extrapolate I bet there are ways of making anything we think of fit the theory we think is causing the very thoughts in the first place..

Make sence?

I don't think you're reading too much into it. When I was young (real young, like 9) I started studying astrology b/c I knew there was SOMETHING different about me (and I was a "good girl" who just couldn't organize her room 'cuz she was wilful and selfish - we didn't get many ADD diagnoses back then - and it wasn't so long ago either!). Long story short, I studied enough to get certified and am now wondering whether there is a correlation between Mercury-Uranus conjunctions (I have one and so do some other "interesting" people I know) - or some connection between Uranus and any of the other "personal" planets - and an ADD/ADHD diagnosis. (Uranus is a planet that in astropsychological analysis represents weird startling brilliance that looks quite out of place in the world around you. The opposite of normal.)

Forget the columns you read in the Post if you want the REAL astrology.

P.S. Sun in Virgo, Aquarius moon, Cancer rising, if anyone cares.

Sun in Leo, Moon in Aries, Sagittarius rising.

virgo here. loyal to the end and an organized person hubby is a scorpio and pain in the *** scorpio haha

I am a Gemini, I am also an adentical twin and when i was a kid i used to think all twins were gemini's!!! lol how blonde is that!! hehehe

Lynne

LMBO Lynne.... nothing wrong with that anyways .... :D My twins (identical) turned 16 today.

i am a libra......9/30/73......typical libra at that....sensitive, try to be optimistic...always looking for the silver lining on the gray clouds. you know that kind of thing. it is difficult at times though. soon to be hubby is a sagitarrius. wish i knew astrology...lol

I am a Libra... 10/09... ummmmmmm, nevermind the year.

Traditional Libra Traits:
Diplomaitic and urbane
Romantic and charming
Easygoing and sociable
Idealistic and peaceable

On the dark side....
Indecisive and changeable
Gullible and easily infuenced
Flirtatious and self-indulgent

hey apc....since when is being flirtatious and self indulgent a BAD quality..???? LOL

I agree with YOU....lol.. definitely NOT a bad thing at all.

gemini sun moon in capricorn and leo rising and dats all I know except my chart had something in everyhouse but the twelf house.
Does anyone know what thats suppose to mean?

I find it interesting that the sign of Scorpio shows up in the poll with the lowest percentage. What do you think that means?

Don't know, but I put in my vote for my friend who is ADHD and a Virgo, which is also one of the lower ones. Interestingly, I'm not ADD, but I'm a Sagitarrius which is one of the highest on the poll!

I have noticed my favorite men are generally Libras, or at least the ones I get along with. My brother, my long ago ex huband, my Latest Love. Oh also Gemini men are top on ze list. I am a gemini. But in all honesty, I think I get along well with all signs.
I also don't really believe or not believe astrology. Just enjoy it for fun.

Gemini here......the good twin and the evil twin

Aquarius here, gemini rising
:-/

A real individual moodswinger... *S*

What about those of us born on the "cusp" born "in between" the signs. Born on Aug 23 I usualy confess to being a virgo; I like the sound of the name better. I was informed by a friend who gets to the nitty gritty who told me I had "two moons in the house of virgo and one in the house of Leo" She got this information based on the hour of the day I was born. Is there a corlation in ADDers and being born in between signs?:dizzy: Tammy

Pisces here, my rising sign is Pisces as well, but my planet is Neptune (always in disorder - everything).

Love water, I wish I was a fish!

I think also that I am in tune with other peoples emotions, and have to quite often distance myself so that other people don't drag me down emotionally.

I read characteristics of a Gemini...Intellectuals, Egocentrics and Mentally Unstable....The mentally unstable part and Intellectual...sound like ADHD/Bipolar traits n some other geminis I seen that in them as well who are also ADHD so ,me thinks maybe a possibility.

Virgo here virgin for life even after marriage and kids HEHE! j/k

I look at my horoscope for fun once in a while but I only seem only to be half of what they say my personality traits should be. Don't know if I believe in it all or not but I do find it intresting and fun.

Wonder if I am in the middle or 2 signs? How do you know? And does being born 3 days late matter? HEHE that was probably a dumb question! :o

I had a friend tell me I was born"between signs" I was born August 23, in some places it is the last day in Leo, but most have me as the first day of Virgio. I am also one who dosen't "fit the profile" some of my charactics don't fit into either Virgo or Leo discription. I don't take it seriously I read those things every now and then just for fun.

Tammy

For what it's worth:
SCORPIO.
And, my Native totem is the SNAKE.

I am a Gemini (obviously) with Taurus rising and Sagittarius moon. Can anyone say confused? My three major planets are in different elements...I argue with myself about everything, but won't budge an inch, then at the end, just say forget it and skip on my happy way.

Julie

I think also that I am in tune with other peoples emotions, and have to quite often distance myself so that other people don't drag me down emotionally.

I'm taurus...but uh huh...I'm the same way

You don't know what everyone's complaining about -- the holidays were great, but so is the New Year. The targets you hit in January make up for whatever you miss about last year. By the 21st, you're in step with your neighbors, even if that means you've slowed down a little; consider what the group wants and what you're willing to give. From February 20th to March 7th, you're back on your fabulous fast track upwards. Then you can level off on a plateau of excellence for the rest of the winter.

Spring comes too soon, with some disorienting but not unpleasant results. Emotions sprout and blossom all over the place between March 24th and April 6th. Rivals show weakness on the 19th, encouraging you to step forward -- but instead of taking advantage, you propose getting along. This arrangement is good until it falls apart sometime between May 17th and 21st. While you're not out for revenge, you can't ignore that twinge of pleasure when confusion strikes everyone equally after June 10th. It's worth a little extra expense.

Ambivalence about Father's Day or summer puts you on a collision course with something special around June 29th -- this event is as benign or dangerous as you make it. Strange attitudes, desires and assorted weirdnesses pull at you from late July through mid-August. Your home or specialty is under attack, but in some ways you agree with it. Your struggle toward improvement pays off by August 23rd. Look forward to radical but meaningful shifts in early September -- then you'll have a week or so to appreciate what you've wrought.

September 23rd reminds you again that you don't live in a vacuum. The next few weeks challenge you to accept when you might not agree. By the end of October, you're more than ready to be back among friends. Starting November 8th, you review past triumphs and plan ways to improve on them. The seasonal festivities are always a convenient distraction, but you lock onto a personal project as December begins, joyously forcing your vision onto some unyielding medium. And don't worry, you'll have plenty of happy holiday time.

I an Aries- I guess if you believe astrological signs are related to mood and order, Aries are truly fire signs, in my opinion.

Wow! I was just getting ready to start a thread on this. I am pisces. Pisces characteristics are exactly like me, but I have wondered if it is ADD or me being a pisces?? I see so many different signs here so I know it is ADD, but it is strange how it corelates. I was diagnosed by a couple of physicians as having severe ADD, and it affected me terribly as a youngster. My ADD can be like being severely pisces!

Oh, my rising sign is aquarius. I have a Native American sign of the cougar, and my Asian sign is snake!

Where and how does one get a native americian sign? That is a new one on me.

Tammy

I think you chose it as you think it suits you as a guide and a connection to the spirit world.

Here's one list I found:

-----------------------------------
Ant - It is industrious.

Badger - Courage.

Bear - Watcher, guardian of the world, giver of great strength of body, courage and power of will.

Buffalo - Possesses great strength.

Cat - It is a good hunter and very independent.

Coyote - It is a crazy trickster bearing tidings of sacred msichief.

Crow - Justice.

Deer - Compassion

Dog - Loyalty.

Dolphin - Wise and happy, able to explore the great depths of emotions, friend to lovers of the sea.

Dragonfly - It can tell you how to break through illusions and how to gain power through dreams. It teaches higher aspirations. Imagination

Dragon - It is fiery, rich and knows the answers to many riddles.

Eagle - Rising, circling the Sun, his cry thrills the brave and panic the faint-hearted.

Fish - Graceful.

Hawk - All-seeing, soaring on the breast of the wind. Observation.

Horse - Freedom

Hummingbird - Fierce warrior, jewel of the gods, whose feathers bear love magic. Pleasure.

Lion - Emblem of royalty, symbol of the Sun. Courageous guardian protectors.

Lizard - Vision

Lynx - Keeper of secrets.

Mouse - It has an eye for details.

Owl - Wise watcher in the night, fate-seer, riddler, beloved by Athena. Silence.

Panther - A good protective animal.

Puma - Shaman's companion on journeys to the other worlds; spirit of grace and silent power.

Rabbit - Fertility

Raven - trickster, wise in oracles and omens, messenger and watcher for the gods. Mystery.

Snake - Transformation.

Spider - Fate

Stag - Lord of the forest, masculine power of regeneration, giver of bounty, beauty and mystical signs.

Swan - Guide into dreamtime.

Turtle - Shyness

Wolf - Pathfinder for the human spirit; heart of the wildness of the world. Knowledge.

I can't choose one, here's my spirit guide menagerie...
(BTW you can make up your own or change them as you wish)
My interpretation is that it's not so much who you are but which you think can help you. That should be compatible but maybe opposite or maybe matched depending if you need something different or just want to perfect something you have in a more spiritual way. If it's something you've got and are happy with, no need for an animal totem to help.

Ant - It is industrious.

Dolphin - Wise and happy, able to explore the great depths of emotions, friend to lovers of the sea.

Fish - Graceful.

Snake - Transformation.

Stag - Lord of the forest, masculine power of regeneration, giver of bounty, beauty and mystical signs.

Wolf - Pathfinder for the human spirit; heart of the wildness of the world. Knowledge.


Oh, also there's the idea of a medecine wheel, according to that, my animal is a snake: http://www.cherokeebob.com/medicine_wheel1.htm

Pretty good match for me actually! Better than a scorpion I think.

[standard disclaimer: I'm making all this up and have no idea what I'm talking about!]

how can i find out all this? i was born february 8th, 1984, at 12:15 am. is there a website that can fill in all this?

how can i find out all this? i was born february 8th, 1984, at 12:15 am. is there a website that can fill in all this?that'd make you an aquarius (according to western astrology) and a rat (according to chinese astrology)!

i'm a sagittarius/goat, myself...
:D

__________________
Hey! I saw a site on that but of course now I can't find it. BUT! I do have a book!
Fencer, you are an otter according to my book. The book is called 'Totems' 'The Transformative Power of Your Personal Animal Totem.' I probably didn't quote that correctly.

Paul is right. I like your explanation! Fencer? Do you have any kind of animal you really can relate to? Do you decorate your living space with themes from this animal? Think of your childhood. Did you ever pretend you were a certain animal? That animal was probably your spiritual guide through a certain part of childhood.

I can remember when I was a little kid pretending I was a cougar. That lasted for years. That was my favorite animal since I first saw one. Now I find out that is my birth sign! I think though, that my totems, different from birth signs, are turtle, frog, and wolf. I have always loved frogs and turtles. Something about me reminds me of them. I always see wolves if I dream of animals. Oh, the deer too. I have reasons there, but it would take to long to explain.

But you can have several totems, but then you also have your Native American birth sign.

Here is evryone's Native sign according to my book:

The Red-Tailed Hawk: March 19-April 19
The Beaver: April 20-May 20
The Deer: May 21-June 21
The Brown Flicker: June 22-July 21
The Sturgeon: July 22-August 21
The Bear: August 22-September 22
The Raven: September 23-October 22
The Snake: October 23-November 21
The Elk: November 22-December 21
The Snow Goose: December 22-January 20
The Otter: January 20-Febuary 18
The Cougar: February 19-March 20

Whew!

okay, so i'm a sagittarian/goat/elk...

Great combination Gabriela! I am a pisces/snake/cougar! After seeing that in writing, what a strange combination.

What about premature babies, twins and triplets, etc.?

But of corse!

Many with ADD are smart but dont apear to be to those around them.
How I feel a lot of times, I'm smart but incapable of using it.

LOL... how smart is that ;) ..... how true it is :D

Always tediously objective and thorough. LOL! **NOT***

My opinions are often very well informed but just as likely to be based on pure imagination sparked off an idle glance at some subject. Horoscopes are fun that way.

Cancarian here,crabby, crusty and nips like a b****, lol,perfect description, crab through and through.
I live with two crabs and boy is it hell. but i love yall all the same.

careem:)

Yeah Iam an aries. The best of the best and the worst of the worst. YEE HAA

Kay and I are both Gemini’s, me at the front, her at the back. So we’ve already got the bipolar thing covered without actually having to do it – she takes one end, and I pull the other. (grins..)


My opinions are often very well informed but just as likely to be based on pure imagination sparked off by an idle glance at some subject…
I’ll bet that’s the stuff that has the most potential, though. I wouldn’t know what to do if I hadn’t learned to absolutely trust the things that come out of the blue.

Every one of my best ten or twenty designs have come about like that. The pedestrian stuff (good enough in its own right) has never been as cool and perfectly appropriate.

It’s where we go to meet our ADD in its purest form, IM(NS)HO…

I am a Scorpio... I think I fit my sign very well.I can be pretty mean,mysterious & unpredictable.I just hate that I have mixed emotions & mood swings. I don't really look into astrology all that seriously.. because I really don't believe in it & it's against my religion.. But I doubt it has anything to do with it.

I don't think you're going to see a definite pattern with sun signs. Superficially one could guess that all the air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) would be prominent, but it's a pretty even spread. Stereotypically speaking, Air signs could be spacey or too intellectual. Earth people (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) could be too literal or "slow" thinkers. Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) could be too rash or blinkered. Water people (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) could be so awash in emotions or dreams they can't think straight. (Not insulting people here, just laying down very very simple interps of the archetypes in this context.) When you break it down like that, any sun sign could be considered ADD. But sun signs won't cut it, there are so many other factors.

Elementally, if I had to look for an astrological pattern in the individual birth charts for a group like this, I'd look for conflicts between air and earth for ADD in general. The air and earth conflict just makes sense to me intuitively, but I don't have any data to back that up. Add in some fire signs or Aquarian energy for ADHD. Shake and stir.

Someone earlier said they had a clump of Virgo - I do too. It's something to look for - Virgo energy (earth sign) can represent an emphasis on mental activity and perfectionism, something that screams an involvement with ADDers.

If you're into that astrology thing, you know... :p

To be more pointed, the top signs listed (at the time of this post) are Aquarius(air), Pisces(water), then Gemini(air), Virgo(earth), and Leo(fire). 168 votes with 12 choices isn't exactly great statistical material, but it's all we've got. Except for those two air signs up there, you can see there isn't much of a pattern emerging, although I can't say I'm surprised Aquarius and Pisces are at the top.

LOL yeah that's me, too dreamy

...Water people (...Scorpio...) could be so awash in ...dreams they can't think straight. p

LOL yeah that's me, too dreamy
If you're being sarcastic, that only proves my point. Sun sign alone says nothing.

I used the word dreamy with Pisces in mind, actually. :p

I wasn't sarcastic, I *am* too day-dreamy. I'm a Scorpio Nov 21 (almost Sagitarius) though I only recently realized I'm just a day from Sag. & never knew what that means. I'm also not 100% convinced that my condition is ADD yet.

Im 22nd sept so usually virgo.. or libra.
im conviced abotu ADD but im not convinced about being virgo

Aries here. That says impulsive, great initiative but poor follow-through, bored easily, short tempered, spontaneous. But, I suppose every sign has their ADD traits.

Here I thought astrology had me pegged but I was wrong, instead I have ADD! :)

i cant believe this question is even asked in the year 2004..for so many reasons.

Actually, there is somewhat of a scientific basis for this whole thing. People born in September have a greater chance of having ADD than people born in other months.

i just dont get that whole "sign" thing. im a cpricorn, but i never really understood what that stuff is about. i guess the adhd and ld kept me from looking into it. anyway those horscopes takes to long to read.

I don't remember if I posted here or not...I'm a Taurus.

Hi all. I've been looking at the utter inconclusiveness of this poll and I think it tells us something about sun sign astrology as it relates to ADD. Nada!

Capricorn-Def stuborn, and determined.

Can someone run this through a stat program and see if there is one. I would but I forgot all my stats abilities once class was finished :)

Because the sample is self-selected, there's already an inherent bias. There's no way to tell if any correlation is a real statistical phenomenon or a function of the bias.

only temperment in my view.

I am Pisces with Aquarius rising. :p

Let me set you a little test. I have Venus slightly above the cusp of my rising sign (12 degrees Aquarius) and my moon and sun are almost conjunct, 5 and 8 degrees Pisces. Mars in at 12 degrees Pisces and opposing the first house and my Pisces planets is Saturn in Virgo. :eek:

So what do you think?

Cancer. Moody as hell, maternal and devoted to my loved ones.

Wow, I'm Pisces, but I don't know about any of that other stuff! If someone could tell me, that'd be cool.:cool:

I wonder if there's any connection between AD/HD and our Astrological Signs.
The poll restults don't indicate a correlation!

I'm a Taurus. This fits me perfectly. I am bullheaded as hell :D

As the old joke goes, "I don't believe in astrology--we Virgos are way too logical for that stuff."

Gemini - Jekyll/ Hyde

Scorpio ~ sleek, dark.. with a sting ... ooo wee..
Our signs... eh.. who knows..

Scorpio is also known as "Still waters run deep." Like my dad - unfathomable.

I'm scorpio, born on my father's birthday, the day before JFK was shot (not that I take horoscopes seriously though). I am definitely still, deep water.

Gemini. I always thought I was "just a typical Gemini" until I found out part of it was ADD. Is that odd?

I'm a Virgo...and Virgos are supposed to be the neatest and most organized people.....yeah right....so does not fit anything related to me

I think we had this discussion on another message, but I'm an Aries also !
Nova

Gemini. I always thought I was "just a typical Gemini" until I found out part of it was ADD. Is that odd?
Definately not.. I know I seem to get along well with Gemin's.. most of my "friends" .. are of this sign. *smile*

I'm a Virgo...and Virgos are supposed to be the neatest and most organized people.....yeah right....so does not fit anything related to me
When i was younger and read books about astrology , about virgo, i was like WHAT neat, organize, methodic, and meticuless ( or something )ect...not me at ALL

Digitl who from then learn a little more and understand it now why.

I'm a Libra. I hate conflict. Try to find balance which is somewhat difficult for me. I love people... auntchris

not sure if this has been posted (don't want to go through all 10 pages) but there are studies out there linking lateral dominance and month of birth.

that could be interesting.

I just looked it up and I'm Taurus on the cusp of Gemini...
I don't know if I'm actually like what the websites say I supposed to be... Only my peeps would be able to confirm or deny. And they ain't talkin' :p

Virgo here!.........everyone says I am neat,organized,"Queen Of Clean Jr." but I don't see myself that way.According to the chart I am a Bear!

I'm a scorpio...3rd of November 1979

There is no "typical" anything. Astrology is a complex system and covers 12 houses. For example I am a Pisces SUN, Gemini rising, Libra Moon...not a "Pisces". In other words, simple sun-sign astrology is laughable. Sun-signs are the tip of a rather large iceberg....

I totally agree, CF.

I'm gonna say though, that my SUN sign, is in Aries, which has the supposed traits of starting projects not finishing them, is 'gabby', highly curious, and considered 'fearless' (which isn't always considered a 'good' thing by some) lol !

Could be 'observed' as an ADD/HD thang...if ya wanna look it that way.

I love astrology, so I also agree with you, that the sun sign is just one facet in one's 'astrological' profile.
Which is why I never read my 'horoscope' in the paper, since it only covers one's sun-sign 'facet'.

Well, I'm a Cancer, and I fit the mold quite well. It sure don't look like there's any correlation to the signs and ADHD.

I have Mars (action) and Mercury (mode of speech) in Aries which roughly translates to...a lot of impulsivity in action and speech ;). Is it the chart or is it the ADHD? Hard to say isn't it?

And newspaper horrorscopes are excellent for lining cat litter pans :D.

My Mercury is in Aries too, lol !
I totally 'get' what you 'mean', CF. (0;

Ok well it appears what they say about us Gemini's are true! 5/24/70..Gemini all the way baby! Moody and split personality included..hey in medical terms...I'm bipolar! LOL...


It appears the Gemini's are leading the pack with 11.33% overall. Interesting.

I only got diagnosed with ADHD at age 34, but I've known all my life that I am that I'm an Aries, ascendent scorpio... ;-) So, I was always told I was impulsive, thought outside of the box in an unlinear fashion, was a super fast thinkere, and started so many projects without ever finishing them because I was an Aries. I was also told the overfocusing thing was due to my scorpio ascendent...

Now, I'm happy to take meds for treating being and Aries with a scorpio ascendent... lol

Traditional Aries (http://www.astrology-online.com/#)[/url] Traits

Adventurous and energetic
Pioneering and courageous
Enthusiastic and confident
Dynamic and quick-witted

On the dark side...

Selfish and quick-tempered
Impulsive and impatient
Foolhardy and daredevil







The Sun blazed in dynamic Aries, a [url="http://www.astrologycom.com/elements.html"]fire sign (http://www.astrology-online.com/#) on your birthday. The Sun in astrology stands for your inner nature, the light of your essential character. Aries, the first sign of the Zodiac (http://www.astrologycom.com/zodiac.html), is a masculine (http://www.astrologycom.com/masc.html) sign ruled by the warrior planet Mars (http://www.astrologycom.com/mars.html), whose motto must be "Crash through, or crash!". A cardinal (http://www.astrologycom.com/elements.html) (creative and inventive) sign, Aries, the Ram, governs leadership and initiative. Aries people are bold and self-confident, although they tend to be overly impulsive.

The Sun, the ruler of our inner nature, is very well placed in Aries, the sign of its exaltation (http://www.astrologycom.com/exalt.html). This energy is very attractive, even compelling, and few can resist being carried along in the jetstream. Ariens are always overflowing with ideas, schemes and plans to conquer the world, for a well-aspected sun in Aries radiates power and vitality. Many a moth has been burned in its flame! Life, of course, is one long party (which the more mothlike among us may find a just little wearing...).

Flair and Originality

Ariens are great organisers, full of flair and originality, although usually lacking discipline and the capacity for prolonged effort (minions must be found to do the slog work!). You are intuitive and articulate, with the capacity to inspire others, especially in projects which have a clear outcome and do not require a long lead-time.

You have masses of energy and courage and will rush in where angels fear to tread, for the Arien ego can be rather overbearing. Undue optimism, or impatience and desire for self-aggrandisement can result in wasted effort or even severe setbacks and disappointment.

A Determined Fighter

The emblem for Aries is the Ram, a determined fighter and a powerful adversary, with a strong urge to express himself over the widest possible field of endeavour. Is the grass greener on the other side of the hill? Of course it is, isn't it, Aries?

Creative Aries, a cardinal sign, loves to be the leader and can organise fantastic and impressive ventures. Unfortunately, despite your desire to be the front-runner in all you do, sometimes you do get bored with the whole affair and can just wander off, or sit back and allow the lesser folk to have their way. This can see the whole house of cards collapsing, but happily your enthusiam is easily roused and when you set your mind to it you can inspire others to stick to those essential jobs that sometimes seem no more than the merest details to the noble Ram. You see, painful as this may seem, you really need the team as much as the team needs you!

Aries Rules the Head

Aries rules the head, brain and eyes, so people with Aries active in their charts are subject to head injury, headaches, general problems with organs in the head and fevers (although the nose is ruled by Scorpio). You are all extremists and for this reason can fall prey to stress-related ailments and mental problems. However, although you can be highly-strung, your great fund of energy enables you to survive where other less exuberant folks might succumb.

Your colours are red and white. Aries rules metallic iron and your birthstone (http://www.astrologycom.com/gemstones.html) is the brilliant diamond, symbolising clear strength, purified under pressure. Nature creates the precious diamond out of crumbly, coal-black carbon, by applying intense heat and pressure for a very long time. Flowers for Aries include the red poppy, geraniums, honeysuckle and hollyhocks.

I was born at 9:16 p.m., which gives me a scorpio ascendant. I don't know your birth year and location, but at first glance, being born on 9:45 pm on April 5th would make you a scorpio ascendent too... So you'd be like my astrological double. Cool !!!! :)

well, I'm a Leo, but my Moon sign is Cancer, and I have Sagittarius rising. There's so much more to it than the Sun sign. It's an interesting question, though.

I don't know your birth year and location, but at first glance, being born on 9:45 pm on April 5th would make you a scorpio ascendent too... So you'd be like my astrological double. Cool !!!! :)Technically, you would also have to factor in where the person is born as well. That would change the house placements slightly or significantly depending on the distance ;).

I'm aries, and I guess I can be a little impulsive at times :p

I'm aries, and I guess I can be a little impulsive at times :p;) No way! Not you!

Technically, you would also have to factor in where the person is born as well. That would change the house placements slightly or significantly depending on the distance ;). That's why I mentioned that I didn't know the birth location... ;-)

But there are chances that PeaBody was born in Canada, as he lives in Ontario, just as he could also be from Siberia, who knows? But if he was born in North York or close thereto, at the time and date he mentioned (with the birth year mentioned in his profile), he would be an Aries with a Scorpio ascendant (9 degrees 45 to be exact, 11 degrees for me), as well as Mercury in Aries, Venus in Taurus, Neptune in Sagitarius and Pluto in Libra. So lots of similarities... Clearly, I'm looking for a little brother! lol

But like you said, house placement is necessarily different, as well as the aspects between the planets, etc. It's still cool to know that there is another Canadian ADDer with a similar astrological chart as mine, even if it doesn't mean anything more than just that (for instance, we probably don't react the same way to the same medication and our ADHD symptoms can be different as well). It's just cool for the sake of being cool...

On the same note, I always liked that four of the most important people in my life (my mother, my father, my father-in-law and my best friend) were all born on the same date (all Aries, BTW)... It doesn't mean anything, it's not a sign of anything, it's a pure coincidence... but I find that fact pretty cool (and I always remember their birthday, something I'm usually not good at) ;-)


Clearly, I prefer to hyperfocus on similarities rather than on differences... :D

Well, there have been times I have been impulsive, but there pretty isolated, years apart actually, :p

and small things, :p

Impulsiveness is great!!

Gets me into trouble on occasion, but gotta have fun..

Life would be boring otherwise, and if I can't have some fun... Shoot me!!

:p

PeaB0dy

Dedication, Distinctiveness, Potential

Have Fun!!!

The problem is when impulsiveness is combined with boredom...

That particular combination will make my husband drive very fast to feel alive. That will make me change career orientation on a whim, so much so that my husband suggested I should have some kind of chameleon career and decide what I do for a living each day, according to how a feel upon waking up... So he hired me as his life coach/errand runner/personal assistant (i.e. I'm now a part-time housewife, so I get to be my own boss... lol).

Because of the boredom/impulsiveness combo I also tend to make new "best" friends very fast with very outgoing (loud) and lively (hyper) people, only to eventually abandon them when I realize how badly they get on my nerves and how overwhelmed I feel around them...

Therefore, I conclude that only purpose of my impulsiveness is to distract me from boredom, and that doesn't last very long... lol
