It's in the stars?

What are your thoughts on astrology? I just got a free reading online.

This was a bit long, so I've just included a short excerpt...


Sun in Gemini, Moon in Cancer

You were born with the Sun in Gemini and the Moon in Cancer. Your personality comes under the rulership of the Moon which indicates one who is attached to the comforts of her home life. You are friendly in manner and gesture. You are highly sensitive to nature and your surroundings. You should be careful not to fall under the influence of other people so readily.

You have the capacity to escape the confines of self and empathize fully with the feelings of others. The Moon in cancer always creates a personality overflowing with sensitivity and emotions. In order to feel secure it is very important that you have your family and social affairs completely settled and running smoothly.

Coming under the influence of the Sun in Gemini, your core is intellectual, seemingly in opposition to your personality.Internally you are less emotional than appears by the role you have assumed in society. You need to have more determination and self-reliance in whatever you do.

The key to a better integration of your personality is to become more detached and independent of your family and home affairs and to acquire a more solid psychological focal point, so that you follow your goals with more determination.

Ascendant in Cancer, Moon in the First House

At the time of your birth the zodiacal sign of Cancer was ascending in the horizon. Its ruler the Moon is located in the first house.

Cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiacal belt and its natives are under the rulership of the Moon. Your life will be full of changes and intermittent periods of activity and relaxation. Your vulnerability to external influences makes you subconsciously imitate the manners and ways of those with whom you relate.

In many instances, circumstances will require that you play the role of worldliness and sophistication but under the mask there will exist a very sensitive human being who is easily offended, and also very perceptive of the more subtle influences and impressions, as well as of psychic vibrations.

Cancer gives the tendency to completely retreat when hurt or frightened of a situation. This happens to you often because you tend to interfere in the affairs of others when you are not needed or wanted. Throughout your life, your responses will be emotional rather than rational.

Cancer also gives a tendency for life to be centered in the home and family; your attachment to your private and domestic habits is so strong that without them you could hardly endure. In love matters, you are emotional and gentle.

For the difficult aspects we must warn you against becoming overly preoccupied with trivial details of a psychological nature. Another tendency that you have is to flatter and to criticize carelessly, without regard for the other person's feelings.

Destiny may place you in environments where your natural traits can be best expressed. You will be happier when allowed to be occupied with searching for a person or a thing, though not necessarily in important work.

The Moon, the ruler of your life, is located in the mundane first house. This is a strong position for the Moon and will generally indicate that whatever success you obtain in life is solely due to your own effort and ability.

You appear to be someone with whom it is easy to relate. Your disposition is exceedingly sensitive and sensible and very affected by all opinions and cliches that you pick up. You feel compassion for those who suffer and are very apt to have a humane understanding of problems and of psychological complexities. When free to express yourself, you display a fanciful flair, imagination and a creative spirit.

Public opinion and rumors are constantly awakening your interest; you strive to be involved in all sorts of organizations as well as to make the acquaintance of well known personages.

In your inner self you possess a tenacious, persistent and determined disposition with a great power to cling to a single idea or person. Your nature is hypersensitive to psychic influences; you can practically feel the vibrations of a place or person as if they were physical quantums of energy.
