Zodiacious
/ zōdiacī + ius /
Adjective
“A person who behaves stereotypically according to their Zodiac signs.”
There are 12 astrology Zodiac signs in existence
It’s in our belief that our character is determined by our sign
Whether you’re as strong and confident as Aries, or shy and loving as Cancer
That’s ridiculous; you’re being zodiacious.
Whether you believe in this superstition or in the Chinese Years
It’s not an excuse for how you act
Whether you’re the life of the party like Leo or reserved and observant as Virgo
Just stop; you’re being zodiacious.
I don’t understand how people take this seriously
Every morning they read their zodiac sign
Whether you’re as down-to-Earth as Taurus or ambitious as Sagittarius
For goodness sake, stop being zodiacious!
Your character and manners are determined by your upbringing
If you have a lack in either, it’s your parents fault
Whether you’re a peace-seeker like Libra or a dreamer like Pieces
This is no excuse; you’re so zodiacious.
I don’t know what to make of these Zodiac signs
But I believe in evidence proven facts
Whether you’re versatile as Gemini or organized like Capicorn
What I understand is that you’re being zodiacious.
You can try all you want, but you won’t convince me
To accept your character simply due to your Zodiac sign
Whether you’re focused like Scorpio or innovative like Aquarius
That’s not what matters at all, stop being zodiacious!

Astrology is an empirical art and science...much like medicine...I've been an amateur astrologer for a long time...what you seem to refer to in your poem is the absurdity of Sun sign astrology....a popular diversion but bearing little resemblance to the actual study of astrology...a birthchart is a map of the sky when born which includes the Sun and Moon and all the planets, each one being associated with a particular kind of energy...it is the relationship of these forces with each other and with important places on the birth map, such as Ascendant and MidHeaven, that allow for an assessment of probable strengths and weaknesses...
I could go on for far too long...important to note is that, contrary to orthodox astrophysical views of the universe, which have led to all kinds of unprovable nonsense such as black holes, neutron stars, the big bang,etc., a new scientifically based and verifiable Electric Universe Model, demonstrates that the interplanetary, interstellar and intergalactic regions of space are filled with plasma (the primal state of electrified matter)...this electrified environment is what the Earth is in, dominated by the Sun's electric currents but also influenced by planets and other celestial bodies like the Moon, causing various resonances in the electrified environment in which we live.
As you probably know our bodies receive and send information electrically, nerve to nerve...we are electric beings on an electric world in an electric solar system in an electric universe..It seems that this kind of resonance is what makes individuals susceptible to certain behaviour patterns.
By the way, quest questioning everything is the way to real knowledge...keep at it
I have Taurus Sun (heart consciousness) , Libra Moon (habitual consciousness) and Aquarius Rising (forward thinking)
every happiness
Lawrence

The poem doesn't reflect at all my opinion about astrology and the Zodiac signs. Your insight is interesting, though.
Thanks for your comment!

I'm not sure about that. I'm up against very talented poets with far more experience than me. Still, I appreciate your optimism. c:

Some personality aspects can be attributed to the Zodiac signs, but the main influence is how we were raised and society's influence.
Thanks for your comment! I'm glad you enjoyed my poem.

This is brilliant!!
I loved that you summarized each signs characteristics. I don’t follow it so I’m assuming that was it.
Very very clever.
I enjoyed this a lot.
