Jim's Cafe - Sunday, Nov. 10, 2024 "Astrology"

Thanks for opening and for tagging me @Lane.

1. What's your sign? Do you believe in astrology? Why or why not?

Capricorn. I'm not really a believer in astrology honestly. Which i know is rich for someone born under the goat sign, whose whole thing is goats.
But i don't really buy into all that woo-woo "the planets have aligned to make you really want Chinese food tonight, wear green or fall down a flight of stairs" stuff. I think the time of year you're born can have an impact on your personality, but in the way seasons generally shape and effect your mood, yknow? It's more down to the mysteries of the human psyche than the mysteries of the cosmos imo.

2. Are you a planner or do you go with the flow?

I used to be a planner. I needed everything organised well in advance, and i'd usually plot out my whole day. Now, i still like a bit of advance warning on things usually, but i'm much more comfortable with just winging it and going with the flow.

3. How many hours do you get to the airport before a flight?

Oh, that one's probably at least an hour, maybe 2. My grandad is former RAF, and he always took that sort of thing very seriously, so i picked up the habit. It is generally better to have time you need to kill, than to end up missing your flight cos you mucked around for too long.

I do know astrology has some power however we aren't ruled by it.

Happy Sunday and welcome to Jim's Cafe. I hope everyone's doing as well as possible today. I brought some coffee, tea and snacks for all to enjoy. Here are some questions for today that you may like to answer.

1. What's your sign? Do you believe in astrology? Why or why not?

2. Are you a planner or do you go with the flow?

3. How many hours do you get to the airport before a flight?

Gemini, no, because it's made up
Planner
None because my parents seem so allergic to airports to the point that any time we want to go to another state to visit family, I would always without fail get carsick yet they kept doing it.

Thank you for the tag @MisterBGone

1. What's your sign? Do you believe in astrology? Why or why not?
Aquarius, with a Leo moon and Gemini riding although I’m not super sure about what those mean lol
I don’t really believe in it necessarily, I think it’s cool but I don’t think it’s very impactful. Although there’s a grain of salt there because I also read runes and tarot cards!

2. Are you a planner or do you go with the flow?
I generally like and prefer to plan for things, I need a lot of mental energy to get ready for even just a trip to the shop, and I don’t react well when certain things fall through or can’t be done.

3. How many hours do you get to the airport before a flight?
I haven’t been for a flight in years! I think the general consensus is to be there at least two hours before boarding opens?

1- I am a Virgo. I think there are some truths in the zodiacs.

2- I go with the flow. I’m rubbish at planning.

3- I get there really early. Like 4 hours??

 

[cymbele]

1. Leo here. I used to believe in it but now it’s just silly as we have free will.

2. the older I get the more I plan. In my younger years I just went with the flow but being an engineer for 40 years makes me plan. My friend is trying to get me to go back to the flow.

3. I always get to the airport early. In fact I am usually early for most things because I plan for disaster.

enjoying all the responses here.

 

[Angie]

I am an Aries/Pisces on the cusp. Not really a believer.

I am a planner. I have to plan everything to the point I get anxious if its not planned.

I have flown exactly 3 times in my life and that was before extensive security checks, but knowing me I'd be there like 4 hours ahead and hit the bar!

Great Cafe!

 

[Holding my breath]

Im a Virgo, although I don’t really take much notice of it. I am a planner usually, although less so as I have got older.
I have only flown 3 times and I can’t remember how early I got to the airport. I would love to fly more and visit places. Maybe one day.

Hoping everyone enjoys the coffee. Nice to have a place to drop in to.

1. What's your sign? Do you believe in astrology? Why or why not?

Mine is Sagittarius. I have never given too much thought to how accurate it may be with how general most signs are described.

2. Are you a planner or do you go with the flow?

Go with the flow has never been my style, I don't march to a different drummer, I am in another town altogether. LOL In broad term I got no rudder and go where the tides lead. Give me a specific tasks and I am very much detail oriented and precise in planning with all Ts dotted and the Is are crossed.

3. How many hours do you get to the airport before a flight?

It has been over 20 years for me to take an airport flight so I would be stumped on that one.

 

[TragicReality]

I'm an Aries. Sometimes I'm surprised that how it describes me is fairly accurate, but I don't believe in it, it's more for fun. Definitely don't believe in the daily horoscopes.
I'm becoming a planner, just not very good at it. As I get older it's more tempting to not go to an appointment, especially with bad weather. I don't have a lot going on other than doctors appts, so I even often forget what day of the week it is.
I think 2 hours is what people are told to be at the airport before a flight, and I did have an opportunity to go somewhere, and it does seem a good idea to be early in case something goes wrong (like making me go through security 4 times (the x ray part) taking everything off more than once, I was pissed at them since nothing was wrong. Well not everything off, that would scare everyone!

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

Thank you for opening and tagging me @Lane

1. What's your sign? Do you believe in astrology? Why or why not?
I'm a Pisces and I do believe in astrology. I agree with a lot of the characteristics that describe a Pisces and even how compatible I am with some other signs.

2. Are you a planner or do you go with the flow?
A little bit of both but I want to learn how to be more spontaneous.

3. How many hours do you get to the airport before a flight?
I've never flown but I usually get to places at least a half hour early.

Thanks for the tag @Lane

1. What's your sign? Do you believe in astrology? Why or why not?
I am a Gemini sun, Gemini moon, and Leo rising. I don't really believe in it, but it's fun, and I enjoy hearing thoughts about my astrological chart from people who do believe in it.
2. Are you a planner or do you go with the flow?
I plan certain things, like how and when to get places, so I at least have a general skeleton of a plan, but I like to keep things flexible from there. For example, when I go on trips, I have a few things planned then certain things I know I want to do, but I just spend a lot of time exploring and discovering things too.
3. How many hours do you get to the airport before a flight?
Probably not much less than 3 hours, but it depends on the timing too. If the flight is too early it can be hard to get to the airport early. The last few times, I flew a bit later in the day, but I have an early flight coming up to and from Washington, DC in a few weeks. Thankfully this is a domestic flight and I'll only be out for the weekend, so I will only have a small backpack, so that will make it easier. (I'm only allowed a personal item for this flight and not an actual carry-on, so it has to fit under my seat.)

Thanks @Lane !

1. What's your sign? Do you believe in astrology? Why or why not?
Aries, I think. Not a huge believer in astrology, since it can't be falsified like science.

2. Are you a planner or do you go with the flow?
I usually plan, except when not, such as with hiking trips. I just start driving and see what looks good in the area I'm headed to. Made some of my best trips this way 👍

3. How many hours do you get to the airport before a flight?
1 or 2. I fly by the seat of my pants 😂

 

[Astrid78]

Hello everyone hope you all had a good weekend and have a great week! Thanks for the tag @Lane .
1.I'm an Aries but don't believe in it though think it's fun
2. It depends. I'll plan extensively for longer trips like camping. A day at the beach or park is usually spontaneous
3. I have no reason to fly, but guess I'd get there at the recommended time

Hi all, thank you, Lane, for opening the Café! I still enjoy it each time, even though I might be a bit less present these days. Hard times, but also enjoying less computer and more “real” cozy time. (I decided to spill some tea on my computer this morning to force myself to do other things, ha.)

1. What's your sign? Do you believe in astrology? Why or why not?
I don’t have any reasons to believe it’s true so I don’t. However, my human brain likes categorizing and being part of a group, so I’m a Virgo.

2. Are you a planner or do you go with the flow?
Both. I like planning, especially things that are not daily activities, and I am very good at it. However, I never follow the plans and I have no problem with spontaneous *positive* changes.

3. How many hours do you get to the airport before a flight?
Generally 2 hours, because I actually like taking my time there, having a coffee and watching other planes go and not stressing in case the queue is long. If I went outside of Europe (next year!!), I might take 3h because I don’t know if the queues are any longer, etc.

Thanks for the tag, Lane.
I can only answer questions one and two.
(1) I know only little about astrology. Am mostly into palmistry. On my palm, the mound below my prosperity finger says I have financial security, which is true. No, not rich but I am financially secure. In spending, I still have to practice frugality instead of squandering.

(2) I tend to worry too much about my future so sometimes I plan too much. Since I'm well over 60, I worry about getting dementia, so I cross my fingers praying that I pass away before I get too old.
As far as flow, I always go with the flow because if people hurt me, I tolerate. I realize Nobody is perfect so I tolerate.

 

[Windhover]

I was at 36,000 ft over the Pacific on Sunday, so I just saw this today. Thank you @Lane ☕️


1. What's your sign? Do you believe in astrology? Why or why not? Nah I do not believe it, but it is amusing, and sometimes interesting coincidents show up.

2. Are you a planner or do you go with the flow? I have never planned very well but I'm likely adhd neurodiverse. I do make lists and goals - otherwise things woild be even more hairball than they are in my life.

3. How many hours do you get to the airport before a flight? Usually 3.5 for international, about 2.5 for domestic. I completely avoid travel during holidays. If there is a long line for security and you are late, you will not have a good day.

 

[Inanimate]

1. What's your sign? Do you believe in astrology? Why or why not?

Taurus. My ruling planet is Venus apparently, which I can identify with. It’s suffocating, static, and its days and years seem to blend together. I don’t believe in astrology though. It seems exaggerated, and, more than that, I just don’t care enough to delve into it.

2. Are you a planner or do you go with the flow?

The flow, though it’s more like a torrent.

3. How many hours do you get to the airport before a flight?

Two. The extra hour reassures me that I won’t miss the flight.

 

[Empress00]

1. I'm a Virgo. Also a Wood Rat under Chinese Astrology so supposed to be lucky. Yes I believe in it and am also very spiritual, I have done Reiki healing courses and Tarot Card reading classes.

2. I go with the flow, I am not a planner.

3. I arrive on time for check in to open. I am very organised!
