Thread: Shave by the Signs?

My Grandfather born in 1874 did everything by the Signs of the Zodiac. He only shaved (Shumate Austin, TX) when the signs were right. Does anyone do this today? A person can order a life dictated by the Signs. Farmers' Almanacs are full of schedules. Planting, tooth-pulling, castrating animals, digging fence post holes, and mainly planting and harvesting by the Signs are featured. Getting a haircut or opting for surgery are also prescribed as to timing by the Signs. With the confusion of everyday living, do we have the time or opportunity to follow the Signs? Don't be shy on this thread. Tell if it works...

I think if you are living in an isolated place somewhere on this planet and have no real education living your life by the dictates of some mythology might be appropriate. other than that I think its rubbish.

I shave by the signs also. If I try to kiss my wife and she backs away, it's a sign I need a shave. if I hear her hair blower shut off, it's a sign that the bathroom will be vacant soon. If my shave cream is turning red, it's a sign I need to strop my razor again.

I don't know about shaving, but paying attention to signs, and especially the movements of the moon, sure works for fishing! That's a fact!

Hey, I'm all for "whatever it takes!" - and if tracking sun signs works for you, and the moon is in Aquarious, go for it!

I used to date a girl that lived her life according to the charts she had posted on her fridge. She was not willing to make any significant decision in her life with checking those damn charts that her astrologer made up for her every month. Beverly was gorgeous and well, let's just say adventurous, but she was nuts with all of her astrology crap! What does this have to do with shaving? Nothing, I just like to remind myself about this freak! There is a point here....let's see...if you let the stars rule your life you are a nut!

here in the mountains we grew up using the almanac and it was mainly using the signs as it pertained to the body. you would do one thing if the signs were in the head and another like planting if the signs were in the feet. I can't say how well it worked personally but my grandmother swore by it and we always had a great garden so I wont say there's nothing to it.

LOL good one. That's a sign that I need a new life.

Dude, that's when you bribe the astrologer and make things happen!
