Do you believe in Astrologie??
We Leos don't believe in that sort of thing.
Usually I noticed scientists do not believe at all and say it's Supertition...did not know about Leos?.....any way how u explain why some people from the same signe got similarities??

There are only 12 signs and a lot of people!!
I call it co-incidence.
Very sure if you compare virgo to leo you will find just as many similarities than comparing libra to libra. If you looked scientifically of course.

Try this experiment one day.. In the newspaper or whatever souce you read you horoscope from, hide all the names like Leo, Virgo, Libra etc..
Pick a random horoscope, you don't know which sign it is. Read it and I bet some of it applies to you. "today you'll see a tall man, you will travel somewhere, you will smile today"
If it makes people happy, all good but i think it's a croc :)

Yeah, I am an other of those men who don't believe in connecting their lives with the position of stars at the time of their births. Could it be, that men are more modest? That we understand, that the universe does not give much of a thought about us and does not control our life? ;)

I had my theme made by somebody I would call *professionnal* several years ago (actually just before I go in Australia for a few months) and what that person told me was correct.
She also saw that I would have problem with my glasses so she suggested I take a second pair.
Was happy to have them....
So, from my own experience, I can tell I believe in Astrology.

It's a great conversation starter: "What's your sign?" But before you ask or answer that question, consider this: Your zodiac sign corresponds to the position of the sun relative to constellations as they appeared more 2,200 years ago! The science behind astrology may have its roots in astronomy but don't confuse these two disciplines. Astronomy can explain the position of the stars in the sky but it’s up to you to determine what, if anything, their alignment signifies. In short, as you'll see below, your zodiac sign is not what you think it is, and your corresponding horoscope can't be right.
The Constellations of the Zodiac
The ecliptic, or the position of the Sun as it’s perceived from the revolving Earth, passes through the constellations that formed the Zodiac - Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Zodiac signs were originally determined by which constellation the Sun was "in" on the day you were born.
Early astronomers observed the Sun traveling through the signs of the Zodiac in the course of one year, spending about a month in each. Thus, they calculated that each constellation extends 30 degrees across the ecliptic.
However, a phenomenon called precession has altered the position of the constellations we see today.
Precession and Astrology
The first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere was once marked by the zero point of the Zodiac. Astronomers call this the vernal equinox and it occurs as the ecliptic and celestial equator intersect.
Around 600 BCE, the zero point was in Aries and was called the "first point of Aries." (Figure 1) The constellation Aries encompassed the first 30 degrees of the ecliptic; from 30 to 60 degrees was Taurus; from 60 to 90 degrees was Gemini; and so on for all twelve constellations of the Zodiac.
Unbeknownst to the ancient astrologers, the Earth continually wobbles around its axis in a 25,800-year cycle. This wobble—called precession—is caused by the gravitational attraction of the Moon on Earth's equatorial bulge.
Over the past two-and-a-half millennia, this wobble has caused the intersection point between the celestial equator and the ecliptic to move west along the ecliptic by 36 degrees, or almost exactly one-tenth of the way around. This means that the signs have slipped one-tenth—or almost one whole month—of the way around the sky to the west, relative to the stars beyond.
For instance, those born between March 21 and April 19 consider themselves to be Aries. Today, the Sun is no longer within the constellation of Aries during much of that period. From March 11 to April 18, the Sun is actually in the constellation of Pisces! (Figure 2) See also Figure 3, which demonstrates the precession of the equinoxes from 600 BCE to 2600.
Your "Real Sign"
The table below lists the dates when the Sun is actually within the astronomical constellations of the Zodiac, according to modern constellation boundaries and corrected for precession (these dates can vary a day from year to year).
You will most likely find that once precession is taken into account, your zodiac sign is different. And if you were born between November 29 and December 17, your sign is actually one you never saw in the newspaper: you are an Ophiuchus! The eliptic passes through the constellation of Ophiuchus after Scorpius.
Now you really have something cool with which to start that conversation!
