Zodiac Addictions

Apparently each sign has its own addiction... or at least its likely said person might have an addiction to:

Sagittarius: Gambling

Aries: Caffeine

Gemini: Smoking

Pisces: Alcohol

Leo: Shopping

Aquarius: Video Games

Libra: Sleeping (pills)

Scorpio: Internet addiction

Virgo: Cleaning

Taurus: Eating

Capricorn: Working

Cancer: Addicted to Another person

Im just wondering if this is accurate....

Im aquarious... And though I would hardly call video games an addiction... I do love them, always have... and likely always will

How about you?

Sagittarius: Gambling

False. Gambling (in any form) stresses me out to the max.

Then again ... when they added that 13th sign in there, they said that was me. I don't do astrology so I may be a poor participant in your thread.

Aquarius here as well and I do love me a good game. Being "old school" I have been known to pull triple shifts whenever a new Mario game comes out. Candy Crush, Tetris, etc. Anything that is challenging and takes a while to win... I can easily get sucked in if I don't smack myself around a little bit.

Crosswords, Sodoku, and Brain Teasers also float my boat. Go figure.

It's a sickness.

ETA - My husband is a Scorpio and I am not sure if he would be addicted to the internet or not. He doesn't even know how to turn a PC on. He is OCD though... so maybe that would open him up to an internet addiction if he ever used a computer.

You're only a bad participant if you choose to insult, degrade or attack people...

Thanks for your reply...

Yeah I love sleeping, very addicted to it. One of life's finest pleasure for everyone I'm sure. It's somewhat vague.

The answers are in the sky, we are born in sin after all. It's not vague at all.

Born a Capricorn but supposed to be Aquarius. Guess that works better as I am anything but addicted to work

Ive been told we all of us Geminis have addictive personalities but yes I would say smoking is probably my worst vice although since getting to Laos Ive been hitting the booze pretty hard, its about $1.50 a litre and is really good.

The ciggies are killin me though, 30c a pack and with the drinking Im going through about 2 packs a day.

Im scared to think of what my poor lungs and liver are going through

Scorpio here.
Internet addiction? Only if you count ATS, but that's not my fault - heh heh...

Well...I do seem to be 'addicted' to accumulating knowledge. Before the internet it was books...
the internet serves as a library and social outlet for me now.

I am also fond of me beer and cigs, and sleep (but don't need pills for it...I self medicate quite competently enough; and rarely have insomnia).
As someone above said....sleeping is one of my absolute favorite activities ever.

That, and being outside.

You have the will and power to avoid making it worse.

Gemini: Smoking

Nope, my friend, I'm a Gemini and I don't smoke......but I also don't drink, gamble, don't play video games...

I really don't have an addiction to anything, although I love many things with a passion: my job, books, cooking, children, love and music.

Aquarius: Video Games

Couldn't be further from the truth here

Cody + Video games = Nitro + Glycerine, never a good combination and to be avoided if at all possible.

Cody

I'm a pieces..it was fitting in college.
But not since 25.. I punished my evil liver. But actually I can't stand the taste of alcohol.

Actually I fit all those signs..except Leo and Libra.

Good thread.

Edit: my OCD is cleaning and cooking especially.


Edit Edit: raised in Reno NV. never actually considered gambling either. I suppose it was because it was just part of the scenery. Didn't care.
But in college. We realised the casinos served free alcohol if you looked like you were gambling. Lol.

I am now or have been addicted to 6 of the items on that list, but gambling is not one of them. I don't even have the slightest interest in gambling.

I'm not sure what that means. Maybe that astrology has no basis in facts?

Well,not very accurate. I'm capricorn,and while I may posess a good work ethic,trust me, there is no addiction. My husband is a virgo and never cleans unless I nag enough,or he keeps tripping over the same thing...lol.

My brother and I are both Aquarius and neither of us are fond of video games.
Our addiction leans more towards the ladies

I'm a Leo and I hate shopping. When I go to the store I go in get what I need and leave. I don't even like walking around the store to see what is on sale or what new items they have.

Libra: Sleeping (pills)

False, well maybe true for some of my fellow Libra's but not this one. I would say Libra's in general have an addictive personality. Personally, I'm more addicted to video games and gambling (If I had the money to sport)

I'm a scorpio and it is somewhat true haha.

I think the internet is the best invention EVER. It's an open source of KNOWLEDGE and I LOVE it!

I remember when I had first unlimited internet access and I was in heaven. I was amazed at what i could find to read. I use to live at the library but it was limited in what they had and the internet was limited to an hour a day and let me tell you I took full advantage of that hour!

I got my first computer at 25, Powerbook G4 17inch and it was love I would fall asleep at night with my laptop reading.

I don't get on as much now since having my little man but when I have free time I try and read as much as I can.

Now i"m really obsessed with cleaning
I could go without internet but NOT cleaning. I'd die.

Gemini: Smoking

Nope. My addiction is sugar.

And the chronic illness diseases I have made me give up sugar 4 years ago. I'm sure it's better for my body, but it's still hard. I can smell sugar. If I walk outside a grocery store I can actually smell the sugar in the bakery .. the vanilla goodies and the dough and the cakes and the cookies and the bread ... all high sugar things. I can tell you what is on the shelves without even looking. I can tell by the smell. AND I WANT IT ALL (but dont' dare touch any of it).

Aries: Caffeine

My daughter is Aries and she won't touch coffee or anything like that.
But I suspect an internet addiction. She spends a lot of time on the social sites.
(shes' in college)
