Just found this interesting article on yahoo http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061214/od_nm/astrology_driving1_dc which says which sun signs are most likely to have get a ticket or have a car accident. Libras topped the list with Aquarians in second place :(.

"I'd rather get into a car with a 24-year-old Leo than a 25-year-old Aries," Romanov said.
That's right! I've recently started carpooling to and from school, and my friends enjoy it more when I drive, even when it's their days to drive, they usually give up the driver's seat when they come to pick me up...maybe they're just lazy...

Hello Stellium,
Interesting article! My father (an Aries) never had an accident with other people, but his vehicles eventually always took a beat up appearance. He had that "Trail Blazing" attitude. By this I mean he like to drive through the woods cutting out trails literally. He'd hit a rock or a tree stump every once in a while. He would take a two-wheel drive places most would be frightened to take their four-wheel drive vehicles. Yes he was not much of a driver on the highway. Quite dangerous in fact a slow driver there, he would drive faster in the woods LOL, but lucky I guess. I don't know about the Leo fact. I guess stats do not lie, but I can longsuffer many shortcomings of others, but not on the road. This Leo has a temper there LOL! I do not tolerate it too well. I, unrealistically, expect people to be able to drive at least as well as I do. Yeah...right Hehe. I have had only one accident and it was when someone hit me from behind (not my fault). Two speeding tickets though. Deserved many more as most do. Counting up the different vehicles I have had, I know I have driven at least 500,000 miles. So I think I have been a pretty good driver and most of all LUCKY. Certainly not always safe. I'd gladly bet Leos rank high in the "Close Call" and "Near Miss" situations concerning potential driving accidents, but most everyone has some of those stories, and no one is counting those. My Mother (a Libra) has had accidents and is a nervous person behind the wheel thus anyone with her will be nervous LOL. She does not drive much anymore.
Take care....driving

I have Mercury in Pisces square Neptune, and for the safety of the public I have chosen not to drive. I don't think this is a good placement for driving, I get easily distracted. My Boyfriend has a pretty good Mercury profile he has Mercury in Leo and it is not to badly aspected he is a confident driver. I am surprised they let me drive a truck in my last place of work (I never even passed the test :p ). I have Uranus in 3rd square my 6th house Mars, their in mutual reception. I am a crash waiting to happen. :D

This doesn't seem fair to Libra. Many a Tauraus & Leo are driven everywhere in their chauffeur-driven limousines. And perhaps Libra, too. But Libra, always wanting to be so nice, they probably tell their illigal-immigrant drivers without driver's licenses to skeedaddle after the accident, jumps into the drivers seat and takes the blame for it.

I have mars retrograde and I am left handed. I was told that this also is an influence with bad driving. My car accidents usually consist of me running into objects. This was in my younger years though. I don't have the best of luck with cars.
1) A drunk ran into my only new car while it was parked in front of my house on Thanksgiving. He was going down the street in reverse with his lights off and missed every car except mine. I am a small woman but I ran after his car and he pulled over and got out stumbling. I took his keys and I made sure he waited until the police came and got him.
2) Someone tried stealing my second car by punching out the dashboard/ignition with a screwdriver. Ironically it happened when I was at a friend’s house watching the last presidential debates and discussing the need for more money to fight crime. It took only a 1/2 hour of parking my car for the attempted auto theft to occur.
3) On Christmas day last year someone slashed the back tires on my 1991 ford wagon. The only thing valuable on the car were the tires. It was shocking waking up to this on Christmas day. I guess there where other cars that had tires slashed in the area. This still really bothers me.
This all occurred in Minneapolis, MN.
I have friends that have never driven and I they seem more healthy because they walk. I am more than happy to offer rides. Here in America if you don't have a car it’s really looked down on. It’s okay not to want to drive. Maybe in a past life something happened so they rather go on foot?

My guess is that Libras tend to be non-confrontational and timid drivers, and timid drivers are a major problem because they can't decide to get out of their own way, thus causing accidents. Aquarians - well - Uranus. Duh.
I have Gemini Sun, Leo Moon, Taurus rising, but Mars conjunct Pluto and Uranus, road rager. But I must have good hands and sharp reflexes, since I had one accident (in 1986, head on collision) that was partially caused by sheer black ice on the road (the rest caused by me - LOL), and nothing since. Even half the times I've been stopped for speeding I never got a ticket. I think total 5 tickets since 1981, and I speed ALL THE TIME. :)

Gemini here too!
Sort of suprised...would think that a gemini would be going through their purse, talking on the phone, putting on lipstick and singing a song all while driving. Guess with the ability to multi-task driving is one of them that we perform well...I love driving because I like to see different things and feel free in the car, like I can go wherever I want to. I dont think I am a bad driver...

If I were to trust a driver to do two things at once while driving I would trust a Gemini, for who can do two different tasks simultaneously, and do both of them well. My sister drives long distances and reads romantic fiction books along the way, one hand on the wheel, other on the book, never an accident. It scares me the thought of someone like Tauraus rolling down the highway with a cellphone in his hands. Now there's a sign that does best focusing on one task at hand. I have Gemini Rising and I carry a pee jar with me as I'm too restless and lazy to stop and spend the time to stop the car, go find a restroom and lose a lot of time, I pee and drive. Never an accident.

This is funny!
Well, Im a Capricorn sun, Sagitarius rising and Mars in Sag in the 1st. I am very careful, for speed cameras police, because I usually speed. One mate told me its like going to the dodgems when in my car. I've not hit anything though.

I don't know if I'm cautious because I'm a relatively new driver, but speed demon just isn't my style, even though I've been told that I have a natural inclination to be this way due to my first house Aries stellium and third house Mars in Gemini.
In fact, my parents were much more worried about me becoming distracted while driving, and this is still my main weakness although I have attempted mightily to overcome it and keep my eyes on the road. Don't get me wrong, my eyes aren't darting all over the place while I'm driving, but I get distracted by unusual sights and situations, and that split-second diversion can cause accidents.
I think I'm getting better, but darn it, I like to know what's going on around me! This is why I much prefer to be the passenger than the driver--because I can look around and do multiple things at once.
I have Mercury in Pisces square Neptune, and for the safety of the public I have chosen not to drive. I don't think this is a good placement for driving, I get easily distracted.
I have my natal Mercury in Aries, but it's also square Neptune with an orb of about four degrees--a degree less than my Sun and Mercury. Saturn is conjunct Neptune in my chart and squares my stellium with a slightly tighter orb, so I don't if its influence overrides Neptune--but like you, I get easily distracted.
Mercury is the ruler of my third house cusp, interestingly...

I dunno about this.
I think Leos and Gemini talk and charm there way out of tickets. So its never reported. -_-

Shoot I just got a ticket for speeding, 80 in a 60 zone...I am a Gemini and took the ticket. I was trying to find my CD's, put on lipstick while singing in the car, did not realize I was going to fast!
I dont think charm helps, trust me!

Sorry but thats plain irresponsible in my book smiling.....i like you, but that deserves a ticket.......perhaps you'll have some more respect for others on the road........you could have killed someone.
Thats the problem.....people get in there cars and think they are in there own worlds......

We seem to have two set of rules in Melbourne. The road rules and the rules made up by the drivers over time. The latter is sacroscant to the dominant drivers and the former is only relevant if you get caught
Was talking to an astrologer friend the other day and this subject came up. He thinks it could be to do with Australias chart. We apparantly have a cap sun which I think he said is conjunct saturn - must find this chart.
But we have a lot of planets in Sag
So the rules Cap are flavoured by our beliefs we think are right (for us)
I will find australias chart & maybe start a thread on the mundane astrolgy area and start it rolling with this perspective.
The maximum speed limit is regarded as the minimum speed limited by the driver sub rules.
Racing up to red lights is also De RIgour
And waiting till the arrow turns orange then only one cars screams thru is also a popular turning style
Not concretrating on driving is also de rigour - any distraction is a good one be it mobiles (cell phone), a newspaper or book, anything on the floor or seat or the back seat that needs doing can be done during driving
Also arms out of windows and flicking cigarettes including flicking away LIVE cigarrettes is de rigour style. Its just not cool if your arms not hangin out and your ciggie isnt gettin flicked about out side hehehehe
Now I somehow suspect that themes around these enthustically embraced group norms in Melbourne are found in the Ozzie chart as my friend suggested.

Well, we all drive under the influence of Pisces wherever we are driving, unless you have an electric car. Neptune/Pisces rules oil. And Pisces rules over all our greatest escapes available to us in this world. Prescription and non-prescription drugs, alcohol (spirits), television, tobacco. We put oil/gas in our cars, we turn on the stereo, turn up the window and we've escaped into our own little worlds, far removed from reality.

Aries here.. I can say we are soooooo *in control* when we drive and we love it!!!! The faster and the closer to the car ahead of us, the better!!! VRROOM VROOM, baby, we ~feel~ it!!!
It is awesome and sick.... Even if we are caught driving the cheapest P-o-Sh*t out there!!
The don't Call it a "Dodge - Aries" for nothin!!! :D :D :D :D

well thanks for that lonestar.......one of these days, i am gonna put on my brake and stop with some goose up my tail.....i could do with the insurance, or better still a new car!:D.... i dont know about where you live, but here in australia, its ALWAYS the person who goes up the backs fault in a crash.......perhaps you should remember that......one day it may just be a Capricorns tail your sniffing!

02-02-2008, 03:43 AM
I totally groove with the vibe of the driver ahead of me when I'm driving ...Liquid. Its a *cosmic unity* trip for this Aries here. Nice try on the insurance... but I won't be ramming up your's or anyone else's **** anytime soon. :eek:
Liquid Green
02-02-2008, 04:01 AM
sounds "dodge" allright to me lonestar:D......what if the person ahead of you needs to stop suddenly?.....i guess you are too skilled for that. (either that or you have the only instantaneous stopping brakes on the planet, that dont need a number of meters(feet)/per km/miles of speed for stopping). arrogance on the road kills people and causes crashes.............My pet hate on the road!

02-02-2008, 04:18 AM
time to lighten up? yeh right.....the road is a place to attempt to be real "cosmic"...........
I have a kid in my car most of the time......so get real........I think saturn is a blessing in times like driving.........i dont fancy us dying on the road, while some other nut feels its a place to express there wannabe cosmicness.
your being a tad selfish dont cha think lonestar?

Hello everyone! i'm new, well i say i'm new, I joined a while ago then I forgot (Gemini) Anyway, I just remembered and so I'm here. Right, driving, I am a fantastic driver, except if I am anywhere at all interesting..Iseem to look around and the car follows, I ended up in a field once in Scotland and got surrounded by sheep who I'm sure found the whole thing amusing.
My Fiance though is an Aquarius, most of his chart is Aquarius, very interesting person. But I have to say it, he is a fantastic driver, the only person who I can sit next to in a car and fall asleep. He won't let me drive his car though..it's a fast one..i can understand..I love going fast, which is why I love Germany :)
I have rambled I know..I promise I will be far more normal next time!!!maybe..
Love & Light everyone

I'm a Gemini Sun, 20 years old, still no driver's license... driving scares me... so much multi tasking (which usually I'm good at) and it scares me the idea of driving a giant piece of metal full of flammable liquid going at high speeds... every guy I've dated has been a Cancer who's smashed up at least one car from racing and just being irresponsible.

Hahaha, I'm a libra sun sign and have had the absolute worst luck in traffic!! More tickets and wrecks than most of my friends combined -- none of the wrecks have been my fault and the tickets are usually for something absurd like going 5 miles over.
Good to know I'm not alone!

..which sun signs are most likely to have get a ticket or have a car accident. Libras topped the list with Aquarians in second place.
Interesting, had to chuckle, an Aqua Sun & Mer with Libra on my third house and crazy Ura in it, I've never had a single accident in over-a-decade of my driving. Sometimes, that Ura in there does tickle me a bit into thrilling myself with some speed (wide Ura-Ven trine), but only where appropriate (Sat-Ven tight trine).

Maybe we think about something else (Air) or do something meantime. Talk to much?;)
4 planets in Aqua (Watch up Sweden):D
But i don't want to drive.
A) I't bad for the word. (Aquarius)
B) My fifth house Uranus/Mars might enjoy the speed to much.
