Facebook Zodiac Assessment

Facebook is a useful tool for connecting with your friends and family. As a curious Pisces I have noticed that most of my friends’ birthdays tend to pop up around the same time of the year –especially in January. I finally decided to take note of the birth dates of my friends to see if the Zodiac legends were true for Pisces Friendship Tendencies…

According to traditional Zodiac belief Pisces pretty much get along with anybody –but they get along least with Gemini. Gemini can be manipulative, overly talkative, and intimidating to a Pisces. Pisces is also said to be Best Friends with Capricorns. They have an “opposite attracts” thing with Libra. They don’t get along as well with Sagittarians. 

Part 1

I decided to check the birth dates of 115 of my Facebook friends and see if any patterns popped up. They did…

Part 1: The total for my 115 friends were as follows:

16 Total Capricorns

10 Total Aquarius

8 Total Pisces

11 Total Aries

10 Total Taurus

5 Total Gemini

11 Total Cancer

6 Total Leo

10 Total Virgo

11 Total Libra

8 Total Scorpio

9 Total Sagittarius 

Breaking that down in terms of overall percentages:

Capricorn = 14%

Aries = 10%

Cancer = 10%

Libra = 10%

Aquarius = 9%

Taurus = 9%

Virgo = 9%

Sagittarius =    8%

Pisces = 7%

Scorpio = 7%

Leo = 5%

Gemini = 4%

Overall result based on Elements:

Earth Signs = 32%

Water Signs = 24%

Fire Signs = 23%

Air Signs = 21%

Theories I concluded based on the results:

Best friends to a Pisces are Capricorn so it makes sense that the largest number of my friends would be Capricorn as predicted.

Aries = Builder Sign for Pisces so it’s good to have friends like those around.

Cancer = Emotional Water Sign. Means it’s within my comfort zone to be around them.

Libra = Opposites Attract. Plus Libra tend to get along with everyone anyway.

Aquarius = Spiritual Sign in Air. Call them a distant cousin to a Pisces.

Taurus = Earth Sign buddies.

Virgo = Earth Sign buddies.

Sagittarius -less likely to get along unless they are humble

With other Pisces it's just awkward so it makes sense they would be in lower number.

Scorpio are sad to be around if they lack spirituality -which they often do being more Mentally-oriented.

Leo… why? This one is kind of an anomaly. Don't know why the Leo count is down.

Gemini is least likely to get along w/ Pisces so that one made sense.

Overall the previously stated beliefs mentioned by numerous zodiac sources seem to be correct. 

Part 2: Establishing Shifts within Zodiac Sign Elements

I also wanted to simultaneously see who many people “stayed” the sign they were born or changed to another sign. I therefore numbered the signs depending on which they were in the element. 

Water:

1 = Cancer, 2 = Scorpio, 3 =Pisces

Earth:

1 = Taurus, 2 =Virgo, 3 = Capricorn

Fire:

1 = Leo, 2 = Sagittarius, 3 = Aries

Air:

1 = Gemini, 2 = Libra, 3 = Aquarius

Capricorn Born

Stayed 3 = 54%

Became 2 = 27%

Became 1 =  18%

Aquarius Born

Stayed 3 = 75%

Became 2 = 25%

Became 1 =  0%

Pisces Born

Stayed 3 = 34%

Became 2 = 13%

Became 1 =  50%

Aries Born

Stayed 3 = 71%

Became 2 = 14%

Became 1 =  14%

Taurus Born

Stayed 1 = 54%

Became 2 = 7%

Became 3 =  38%

Gemini Born

Stayed 1 = 25%

Became 2 = 38%

Became 3 =  38%

Cancer Born

Stayed 1 = 55%

Became 2 = 22%

Became 3 =  22%

Leo Born

Stayed 1 = 50%

Became 2 = 20%

Became 3 =  30%

Virgo Born

Stayed 2 = 50%

Became 1= 8%

Became 3 = 42%

Libra Born

Stayed 2 = 60%

Became 1= 30%

Became 3 = 10%

Scorpio Born

Stayed 2 = 50%

Became 1= 20%

Became 3 = 30%

Sagittarius Born

Stayed 2 = 67%

Became 1= 0%

Became 3 = 33%

Assessing the results:

1.      Capricorns are most likely to stay the same or shift slightly toward Virgo -least to Taurus.

2.      Aquarius are highly likely to stay the same -secondly and less likely to shift to Libra.

3.      Pisces are most likely to become Cancer -second likely to stay the same.

4.      Aries are highly likely to stay the same -equally less likely to shift to the others.

5.      Taurus are most likely to stay the same -secondly likely to become Capricorn.

6.      Gemini are equally likely to shift to any other -less likely to stay the same.

7.      Cancer are most likely to stay the same -less likely to shift to either other.

8.      Leo are most likely to stay the same -slightly higher chance to shift secondly to Aries over Sagittarius

9.      Virgo are slightly more likely to stay the same than shift to Capricorn

10.  Libra are highly likely to stay the same -second likely to shift to Gemini

11.  Scorpio are most likely to stay the same -slightly higher chance to shift second to Pisces over Cancer

12.  Sagittarius are most likely to stay the same -second and less likely to shift to Aries

Theories drawn based on the results:

1.      Capricorns know themselves and are content to be on a Spiritual path -especially being a Spiritual Sign

2.      Aquarius know themselves and are content to be on a Spiritual path -especially being a Spiritual Sign. As for the reasons why they shift only to Libra -Air signs are Mental signs. Libra is the Mental Sign of Air.

3.      Pisces are Water Sign =Emotional. They are either going to be Spiritual or Emotional. It's easier to be Emotional.

4.      Aries is a Fire Sign. Fire signs know themselves and will follow their path -and for Aries that's a Spiritual one.

5.      Taurus are emotional and physical -likely to stay the same. But most Earth signs also lean towards Spirituality over mentality.

6.      Gemini are Versatile and shift often -and are often confused about their own identity.

7.      Cancer are Emotional Sign and a Water Sign = Emotional. Most likely to stay the same and know themselves.

8.      Leo are mutable AND a fire sign. Likely to stay the same. Also spiritual so slightly likely to become Aries.

9.      Virgo are likely to do well as Virgo and know themselves. But most Earth signs also lean towards Spirituality over mentality, so may shift to Capricorn.

10.  Libra most likely to stay the same -Mental sign in a Mental Element. Balance is Key.

11.  Scorpio are mutable and likely to stay the same -then it's a coin toss between Emotional/Spiritual being a Water Sign.

12.  Sagittarius are most likely to stay the same -being a Fire Sign and knowing themselves. Second to become Aries -they do like to study religion and be right all the time.
