A little somethin' fun...  
I posted this in the 'claw commons room a couple of weeks ago, and I got pretty interesting replies. Thought I'd share it with you other awesomely cool peeps:

HP Astrology

For some people (like yours truly), it's scarily accurate. But for others it's way off. Do your sign and House descriptions reflect your soul or are they way out in left field? I'd especially like comments from those of you who are on the fence of two houses to see if both of the House descriptions fit you (mine do really well- Leo Raven and Slyth).

Oh how neat!

I'll take that compliment!

But according to that I'm patient. Thats not exactly a word I'd use to describe myself, but I suppose it can't be perfect lol

Meh...the interpretation can be a bit looser. I don't necessarily see 'patient' from that... =)

What about the one for Scorpio? Does it fit better?

My friend was born as a Cancer close to Leo, but she is in many ways very much Leo.

Wow that was...freakily accurate for me too.

This is not a natural sign for Gryffindor, but some Gryffindors do end up born under the influence of Virgo. They are hard workers and usually very bright; they tend to be more ethically obsessed than most. Some Virgo wizards are also sorted into House Gryffindor because of their amazing imaginations; on the surface they may appear straight-laced and almost nervous, but inside is a wealth of romantic yearning and fantastic excitement. They quietly build dream castles in their minds; and the practical influence of the Earth element means that they, unlike more flighty signs, may have some chance of building those dream castles on solid foundations.

Except for the hard-working part, that's me down to a T. Another interesting thing was that the house that almost claimed me, Slytherin, was definitely the most accurate description of me after the Gryff one.

Short version: Yes.

Long Version: I've seen that before and founbd the descriptions more accurate than some horoscopes have. I am a Sagittarius and a Slytherclaw, and I have to say that both houses' descriptions fit me well. For example:

Slytherin:
"because of their ability to dream; these Sags have a vision" (Some may not be very rational one, though)
"Temporary failure is not humiliating to the Sagittarius Slytherin, merely a temporary setback in pursuit of a goal. They can laugh at themselves even when other people are laughing at them, and of course that turns the joke on the idiots who came up with it in the first place."
"these Slytherins will coast through their classes if they can get away with it" (I see no point in putting in more effort than necessary - I have more time for other, more interesting and important things)

Ravenclaw:
"the philosophers of the magical world" (I love and study philosophy)
"yearning for far horizons, whether those horizons be physical" "or mental"
"decidedly eccentric" (anyone who knows me would agree)
"Sometimes they get on people's nerves, because they don't have as many interpersonal skills as they seem to think they have" (With me it's more of a case of not bothering to play nice; I can get along with people when I wish to, but I can always be a sarcastic pain in the ass.)

...I forgot to say that Slytherin description fits me better, Ravenclaw has more stuff that's not quite me, as it should be. :) "athletic" is one of the last words I would use to describe myself, although Sags in general are considered somewhat sporty.

And this is a bit borderline:
"both being able to investigate a subject deeply and then being able to explain it to other people in plain language"
...sometimes I manage to explain things to people so they understand them better, and sometimes they stare at me blankly and go "huh?"

I'm Aquarius born on the cusp on Pisces (on the border line), so I tend to look at both when considering my sun sign. (Yes, I'm into astrology. I even have my natal chart somewhere.) I always considered myself a little two-faced, because the way I behave in public is very different from the way I behave in private. Not that I'm disingenuous in either venue. I simply have very different approaches to either situation, and different goals in both.

Aquarius: They have inner drive, determination, and great ambition; they also have brilliance, cleverness, and an almost total disregard for "what everybody thinks," which means they can go for their dreams without caring if other people mock them or consider them strange.

This is my "public image" down to a T. I'm very active in classroom settings, and tend to pounce on delicate issues. In Ethics and Comparative Politics, I'm usually the one bringing up gay marriage and promoting healthy sexuality. I'm ambitious, obviously. (I will be President of the USA one day, mark my words.) It's kind of scary how well this fits, actually. Sun signs are usually a little off the mark because they're vague, and in astrology even a day can make a difference in outcomes. The entire entry is pretty well spot-on.

Pisces: These Slytherins dream big. Because of their romantic streak and their need for mystery and glamour, their dreams are often the most dazzling of all. To put them into fruition, they either need to develop a pragmatic streak, or partner up with a practical wizard who will help midwife the dreams and keep them going.

This is precisely how I behave in private or non-group settings. I dream big (president!), but I connect very well with people around me. Sometimes too well. It's not unusual for someone I barely know to spill their life story and ask for advice. I try not to take charge in personal settings, prefering just to go with whatever seems most convenient, but I do have my limits. This is just... incredibly creepy.

Slytherin Scorpio:

What is said of Slytherins born under all other signs is doubly true of Slytherins born under Scorpio. (Or was it that what is said of Scorpios is doubly true of Scorpios sorted into Slytherin?) There is no middle ground here - these wizards can embody all that is the very best in the world... or all that is the very worst. They are heroes, or they are villains. They are attracted to the dark, twisted, and forbidden mysteries of the world from the day they are born, and only they can determine whether they will study the dark arts in order to oppose them, or to embrace them. However, as Scorpio is a sign of transformation and regeneration, it is not impossible for even the most evil of dark wizards to turn to the path of good... Scorpio Slytherins have uncanny wisdom, insight into human psychology, and high "emotional IQ's." They are incredibly ambitious, often exist in a state of total ego, and if misused or hurt, can nurse the wound and seethe for decades. Still, although they are often tempted to do horrible things in the name of glory or discovery, they nevertheless are often the kindest, most compassionate, and most forgiving people of all, for they have seen their own inner darkness, faced it, and do not run from it when they encounter it in others.

I suppose I agree with most of that. Being a Slytherclaw I read Ravenclaw Scorpio too and definitely agreed with that:

Curiosity killed the cat; satisfaction brought it back. If ever a wizard exhibited a danger of self destruction from too much knowledge, surely it was a Ravenclaw Scorpio. It doesn't matter whether the pet obsession this week is botany, Muggle pop music, or the history of the Necronomicon, if a Ravenclaw Scorpio wants to know about it, then he will, and damn the consequences: full speed ahead. Indeed, just mention that a subject is "forbidden" and you'll see a peculiar light shine in their eyes. They sneak into locked rooms after dark, and forge passes to the restricted library sections. The lust for arcane knowledge is both the greatest strength of these wizards, and the Achilles heel. It's best to indulge them whenever possible and let the obsession burn itself out; and, when this is not possible, to explain in great detail and absolutely *no* patronizing why the subject must not be explored. These Ravenclaws are quiet and secretive, but don't be fooled by that calm and placid exterior; they have hidden depths.
[identity profile] reblsocr19.livejournal.com on November 3rd, 2006 02:28 pm (UTC)
hehe...fun times. I'm a Slytherclaw too, and both descriptions for me were spot on:

Ravenclaw Leos are brilliant scholars, loudly adding to classroom discussions and impressing others with the breadth, if not depth, of their knowledge. Many find themselves attracted, as well, to positions on the Quidditch team, partly because this lets them use their abundant energy, partly because it allows them to hog the limelight for a few hours while everybody in their House cheers them on.

Slytherin Leos can be either very good, or very bad. At their best, they exemplify all that "nobility" is made of: confidence, openness, charm, initiative, generosity of spirit, wisdom, judgment, and poise. At their worst, they become elitist, bullying bigots. How they end up depends on the company they keep, and how they are encouraged to act early in life. Either way, they never lack attention - it's hard to ignore a Slytherin born under this sign. These Slytherins usually end up in positions of responsibility and leadership, because of their charisma and natural ability. Their creativity and drive also makes them very resourceful.


Mmm...yeah. =P

While not the bravest of Gryffindors,Yup, definitely not my "strongest" gryff point the Gryffindor Pisces still exhibits a quiet courage. They aren't afraid to face painful truths, if there really is no way of escaping them.Escape artists, much? Thats me! These Gryffindors are deeply compassionate, and full of emotional strength, often becoming the unofficial counselors in the common room who everybody runs to for advice.This was me in college! They are romantic to an extreme; their minds are stuffed full of fairy tales, myths, and legends. They often spend more time daydreaming than doing their homework, to the vexation of their professors.You dont know how much I got complained to about this Still, their daydreams do sometimes produce uncanny insights.Yup

Id say its a pretty accurate description of me. :-)

Gryffindor Gemini


You'll need track shoes to keep up with these Geminis. They have so much energy that they exhaust nearly everyone, save other Gryffindor Geminis. In class, they love to get into debates with the professor. Out of class, they love to get into trouble. These Gryffindor Geminis are as easily stirred by romantic dreams and noble causes as any other Gryffindors, although their involvement is more mental than practical - they lack the fortitude for battle and are best left passing propaganda to the real warriors. Expect a large number of them to work for the Daily Prophet after graduation.

I agree with most of the traits, but not so much with the description of personality. I only have energy when it comes to playing hockey, and I much prefer to stay out of trouble, although I am quite happy to battle if it's needed. And funnily enough, I don't see myself in any of the other houses descriptions either. :-/\

Yes, Virginia, Sagittarians can get sorted into House Slytherin. And not always as Quidditch players, either, although there have been jokes made about how the Hat will sort big, tall Sags into Slytherin just to pad out the team. Slytherin Sagittarians are sorted primarily because of their ability to dream; these Sags have a vision, and with the support of their House, can channel their energies to great achievements. In return they give their House something priceless beyond rubies: a sense of perspective. Temporary failure is not humiliating to the Sagittarius Slytherin, merely a temporary setback in pursuit of a goal. They can laugh at themselves even when other people are laughing at them, and of course that turns the joke on the idiots who came up with it in the first place. (How devious.) Although bright, these Slytherins will coast through their classes if they can get away with it; they'd rather envision the future than attend to the details of the present.

Nah, doesn't describe me too much. I don't deal well with temporary failure and I'm not a huge dreamer but the coasting thing fits a bit. I've never seen myself as a Sagittarius anyway; I firmly believe that I should have been born a few days earlier because then I would be a Scorpio. ^^
