I’m not really interested or familiar with astrology and the whole sun/moon/stars thing, but, I stumbled upon this site awhile back and thought it was surprisingly mostly accurate. Putting pressure on parents everywhere, according to this site, a first name can say a lot about your fate, including character traits, what types of jobs you might have, and how you might make certain choices. I’m by no means promoting the legitimacy of this site, but it did get some things about me dead on, while some others not so much. Here’s what the site had to say about me-
“Ashley is often also born under the astrological sign of Cancer [correct], for which the main characteristics are: imagination, receptivity, and often impressive intuitive abilities [true, true, and true].”
“She is also probably more than a little fond of magic, mystery and fairy-tales [um, Harry Potter, Nancy Drew, Disney, this is dead on].”
“She can be impulsive, capricious, quick-tempered and impatient: it could take her years to learn that it is perhaps best to think before she speaks [I’m none of these things].”
“She can be over-eager due to her passionate nature, tends to want to put the cart before the horse and doesn´t always see things through to their completion [nope].”
“Above all, she enjoys the company of others: she is a sociable extrovert, but also a hopeless romantic who dreams of the day Prince Charming will finally come and rescue her [sigh, i think my prince is lost and needs to stop and ask for directions].”
“Make no mistake: if she seems distant and aloof, it´s really because of her intense shyness [accurate].”
“She has a profound understanding of what friendship is all about and enjoys cooperating with others as part of a group, as long as the task is stimulating, mind you, because boredom makes her lazy [yup].”
“She´s an intimist, narcissistic and a little egocentric who loves to spill her heart out to someone she trusts [ha! no to all these].”
“She is in possession of an excellent memory, has an innate psychological understanding and is therefore shrewd and highly critical [yes, except I don’t think I’m that shrewd although Shelby might disagree. after she looks up what shrewd means 🙂 ].”
Shelby’s name depiction is even more accurate than mine- most notably this bit- “Active, dynamic and resourceful; Shelby is courageous and while she is sensitive to others, she nevertheless remains a deeply individualistic character who is strong-willed and determined – qualities that enable her to accomplish her objectives. She knows what she wants and tends to aim high.”
Regardless of your opinion, I challenge you to look up your name and let us know in the comments if you feel it lists an accurate picture of your personality.
