I'm bored... I have had this untested theory for a while: That more than the fair share of architects are born between the dates of oct 24th and nov 22nd... Am I just an ego-manical normal person? or is there some truth to this? It seemed to me (and some other scorpios) that while in school more of my colleages and professors were scorpio than any other one sign. Is it some kind of weird coincidence/ everything looks like a nail scenario or are scorpios more attracted to architecture than other signs, and if so, why?

3 people in my studio (and me) are scorpios...CRAZY!

you must be bored all right. from your friend the aquarius

Scorpio. I have this tested theory that says that scorpios are actually a superior type of human to all others carrying different astrological signs.

ahhh, so we have the "why."


btw. guiggster; could'nt agree more.

Actually, my classmate did a project on the signs and I don't remember how its explained, but its proven that the sign you claim you have isn't your true astrological sign, its the one before.

Ah... It all makes sense now...

Guiggster: you're wrong. It is Taurus, the astrological opposite of Scorpio, which is the most superior sign, as evidenced by the many important Taureans who have gone before us - all of whom are my stellar compatriots.

If you care to debate this, let me know - I'll see if I can squeeze it in.

mostly leos in my class from what I can remember about 4 of us born within a week?!!! and my old boss was a leo as well so she was.

check out [url=http://pressroom.hallmark.com/birthday_trends_stats.html] for birthday statistics[url]

it's relatively balanced, but i'd be willing to bet that birthdays in the architecture world are statistically comparable to those of the population

i'm in the LEO hood as well.
we have 4 leos in the office.

d'oh
birthday stats

scorp..

I would say from my experience that both Taureans and Scorpios are definately the most superior people of our world.
But there is a difference between the two that I think gives the Taurean a bit of an edge.
Scorpios tend to be a bit crazy crazy and unstable. They are also more fun to hang out with.

El Toro...

Some reasonably well known Taureans:

Socrates
Shakepeare
Karl Marx
Soren Kierkegaard
The Prophet Mohhammed
Machiavelli
Salvador Dali
Adolf Hitler
Al Pacino
Saddam Hussein
Sigmund Freud
Ayatollah Khomeini
Leonardo da Vinci
Tony Blair
Tchaikovsky
QEII
Fred Astaire
Dante, and
Jaaack Nicholson

To name a few...

not too many geminis around in the architecture crowd, though.
haven't met a single one.

I have never met another Taurean architect.

diabase, nice list. I thought that scorpios would be unrivaled in this world, but thats an impressive group of people.

Well known scorpios:

Pablo Picasso
Albert Camus
Leon Trotsky
Carl Sagan
F. Dostoevsky
Theodore Roosevelt
Dylan Thomas
Simon AND Garfunkel
and just about every actor in Hollywood, plus Pat Sajak.

Well guiggster, there's room enough at the front of the car for both of us - just as long as I'm driving ;]

Still, I am unaware of a famous taurean architect. I think maybe adolf loos, but who knows...

libra. know several architects who are libras but when I was volunteering for the Democrats last year, literally the entire volunteer staff was born between sept 24 - oct 24. it was bizarre. We celebrated everyone's birthdays for virtually that whole month......until November 3 of course.

my ex is a scorpio. she hit me with a tv one time.

vado- I have a few scorpio exes and they were all like that. I'm still sometimes attracted to scorpio women, but I avoid them as a rule.

Somehow I've only dated scorpios. This involves two long term relationships. But let me tell you there are ups and there are downs.

And diabase, you can drive, but I get to pick the car, where we're going, AND I get to hit you with a tv afterwards.

Random sporadic Aquarian here.

And I accidentally submitted this response to another forum topic. So, in other words, really random.

Famous Pisces:

Albert Einstein
Alexander Graham Bell
Frederic Chopin
Michaelangelo
Sidney Poitier
Auguste Renoir
Kurt Cobain
Aretha Franklin
Eric Clapton
Marlon Brando
among many others
...and maybe moi someday!

no one else a dreamy piscean here?

booo

I'll now boo all the signs but scorpio.
* Aries - booo!
* Taurus - booo!
* Gemini - booo!
* Cancer - booo!
* Leo - booo!
* Virgo - booo!
* Libra - booo!
* Scorpio - booo! oops, I mean, yaaay!
* Sagittarius - booo!
* Capricorn - booo!
* Aquarius - booo!
* Pisces - booo!

so scorpio's are also cry-baby's...hmmm

guiggster, I'd like to challenge your contention that just about every actor in hollywood is a scorpio. Allow me to introduce the following taurean stars/luminaries that you may have heard of:

Al Pacino
Michelle Pfeiffer
Steven Spielberg
George Lucas
Marlon Brando
Jack Nicholson
Renee Zellwegger
George Clooney
Katherine Hepburn
Kirsten Dunst
Uma Thurman
Daniel Day Lewis
Jerry Seinfeld
Paul Newman
Warren Beatty
Jessica Lange
Barbara Streisand
Ving Rhaymes
Cate Blanchett

Now put that in your pipe and smoke it. If you feel like it - I'm not pressuring you or anything...

yep, on the list and only dated Scorpios or Cancer. There once was a Sagittarius but she was crazy so that counter-balanced it.

oh yeah, well macaulay culkin and i share the same the birthday. so put that piece of high-grade rock in your broke-ass pipe.

Cameron, on the illustrious Taurean list, or one of the um, others?

StarSigns are funny things - one of the many things in this world that have elements of the knowable and the unverifiable.

I have met people that have judged me by my birthdate, and thats a shame. I have been called stubborn more than once in my lifetime. Now I tell people that stubborn is what people call you when you refuse to bend over and take it because someone tells you to.

the scorpio list.

subassemble, maybe you didn't hear me...Pat Sajak!

So, you take your Barbara Streisand and your Marlon Brando (whoever that is) and put it into...uh...your...pipe...and, uh...you know.

some might say that your blood type tells you what kind of person you are, rather than your astrological sings.

A: introverted, shy, not letting people know of their feelings.
B: crazy, known for being polygamous.
AB: could be a genious or a moron.
O: almost like a wannabe B, really good at dealing with people.

dont ask me where I got this from.
i would be my ass that most of the people on this board or most architects are blood type B.

I hope you didn't bet your ass because I'm an O....

Scorpios rule!

I think the majority of people are O. O Scorpios rule!

The Japanese believe that personality is based on blood type not astrological signs. I want to hope that there are at least 12 different kinds of people than four in this world.

oh my god. i am a scorpio o. i have found my people...!

all my previous bosses are Scorpio... i would say they are cunning & stingy ppl, may be that's why they are bosses.

Im a taurus with a scorpio father. We are both intense people. It has been said if taurus and scorpio work together, they can rule the world. Libeskind has a scorpio wife. Ive had very few Scorpio professors or bosses, mostly surrounded by Capricorns.

Scorp.

Now -- are you a Grey Lizard or a Soaring Eagle Scorpio ? (That's Linda Goodman -- don't know if she's read anymore.)

Scorpios Unite!!!...we are THE MOST creative sign...and wacky...but more on that later...

this is a pretty lame post, but as a fish I am glad we got one of the smartest guy on the planet :P

thx lush :)

I'm a scorpio as well (just celebrated wednesday), but to be blunt I don't think there's necessarily a correlation between architects and astrological signs, but rather what's more likely is that most of our parents did it on Valentines day.

Left handed Scorpio here.

Did you ever realize that mid-november is 9 months away from Valentines Day?

sevensixfive... yea. I was born two weeks early, on November 2nd. I can't think of Valentine's Day without the image of my parents getting it on and making babies... ugh.
