Hi everyone!! In Japan, they say that a person's blood type determines their personality. I always tell my students that in the "western" world, we use astrology to determine a person's character just for fun though of course! I was just wondering what everyone's sun sign is? I'm a taurus, making me one of the most stubborn people around!! Grace Smile

According to my astrologer, I'm a leprechaun, which is apparently a very rare star sign.

Libra. Into balance and fairness. We're supposed to be artistic, too, but I guess I missed out on that part.

How many of you guys/gals out there know your blood type? I have no clue what mine is. I know it's just common knowledge out here. So common, in fact, that, during one of my speaking classes, when the students were introducing themselves, I had a guy say something like, "My name is ______, I am 20 years old, I am from Tokyo, and my bloob type is A."

(Is "A" even a blood type????)

Tweety! Libra! And I'm a Gemini, the perfect matching according to the charts. It gets scarier and scarier, doesn't it?

The only reason I know my blood type is from donating blood at Japanese blood clinics. They don't let me do that anymore. Too much time spent in "iffy" fourth world countries.

Ntropy, I used to work in Morocco for about a year back in the late 90s.
Would that disqualify me from giving blood in Japan?
I have also worked in Siberia and Poland for a year each.
I have given blood over 20 times in the USA and want to give again.

This is very interesting! I looked on the web just to see what I could find about the Japanese interest in blood type and this is one of the many articles I found:

(love the picture of the condom machine!)

Here's another one that shows the distribution of blood types around the world:

I know my blood is O+ from giving blood. I'm also a Libra and I am into fairness and I am artistic.

Sweetsee, are you a Sag?

Good one! How did you know?

I have never been much on astrology but does that describe us allright?

An ex-boyfriend is a Sag and he possesses those traits!

My first few months in Japan, everyone asked my blood type. I told them I didn't know and asked what blood type I resembled. Everyone said without a doubt that I am absolutely, positively "o" blood type personality. Four months later, I donated by blood, and sure enough, I am O!!!

Can you beleive it??? Actually, I am totally into it now. I always ask people their blood type. I find it pretty acurate. lol.

As for star signs, I'm technically a Virgo, but I don't possess many of the Virgo traits...
