Which star signs make the best and the worst drivers according
to the auto insurance companies?
By:Nancy R Fenn
Please don’t
shoot the messenger, but Suncorp Metway, Ltd., a multi-faceted Australian
Financial Service, ranked car accident claimants by sun sign last
year in a study of 160,000 accident claims over the previous three
year period. This is what they found.
The number one worst drivers were Geminis,
“typically described as restless, easily bored and frustrated
by things moving slowly,” explained Warren Duke, Suncorp’s
national manager of personal insurance. “They had more car
accidents than any other sign.”
No astrologer would argue with that description
of the twins sign and probably this isn't very surprising news.
But what about the other signs?
According to a news release dated February
10, 2002 @ http://corporate.suncorpmetway.com.au/news/news0142.asp
, Duke said the study was carried out as part of Suncorp’s
annual review of claims but there was no intention to use astrology
to factor an individual's auto insurance
premium.
"We always look for trends in claims
to see if there are ways to reduce our pricing, but there is no
intention to introduce astrology as a rating factor for motor insurance,"
he said.
Second and third place holders for this dubious
honor are Taurus and Pisces. “Taureans were thought to be
obstinate and inflexible, “said Duke, “while Pisceans
could be risk-takers and dare devils.”
Your personal astrologer would offer other
explanations. First Taurus. Yes, Taureans can be obstinate and inflexible.
But they are also the most introverted and self absorbed of all
the signs. Their natural path in life is to think about their own
body -- its immediate comfort and needs -- and to deal with only
the most tangible and immediate of realities. Their thinking as
drivers may run like this. My stomach is full, the temperature in
the car is pretty good, the noise level is good, I’m riding
right at 60, I don’t have to use the bathroom for at least
another hour and there’s plenty of gas in the tank. At a very
fundamental level, the world outside the chassis of their car may
not exist at all. Since freeway driving requires spatial perception
and processing of much abstract information (speed, flow and distance),
this is counter to their natural way of processing the world around
them.
Pisces, in the number three position, is
the other sign that lives in a world of its own. Duke describes
them as potential risk takers and daredevils. However, there are
other signs we would nominate much more readily for a description
like this.
Pisceans are the gentle dreamers of the zodiac.
They may spend many hours a day in fantasy worlds, escaping the
painful realities of life on the physical plane and more often than
not the pain of being in a physical body. They often experience
the whole manifest world as an illusion and their presence in it
as temporary and of little importance.
This Piscean detachment from the physical
can lead to unconscious feelings of invulnerability or invincibility,
also to unconscious feelings of victimization and sacrifice. If
you are momentarily deluded into thinking you don’t have physical
limits, and that your life is but a fleeting moment in the eternal
life of the soul, you can respond to situations of physical danger
in illogical ways. Or, at the very least, be slow on the uptake.
Please don’t take these descriptions
as critical. The qualities of Taurus and Pisces are invaluable in
their proper spheres of influence. Astrology is not a critical tool.
It is a tool of enlightenment. Something you read here and become
conscious about may save your life.
Duke continues, “Capricornians [sic],
who came last on the list, [are] typically described as patient
and careful.”
No argument with that from the professional
astrologer. It’s no surprise Caps are the safest behind the
wheel. They’re the safest at everything! Their patience and
sense of responsibility are legendary. Imagine the thrill I felt
in the passenger seat when I divorced my Gemini husband and began
dating a Capricorn.
The great middle ground of this survey is
held by sun signs in this order:
4 Virgo
5. Cancer
6. Aquarius
7. Aries
8. Leo
9. Libra
10. Sagittarius
11. Scorpio [and Capricorn in last position
as the best drivers]
Is this what you would have expected? There
is something else fascinating about this list.
The folks at SunCorp would have no way of
knowing it but, Capricorn to the side, the signs in the last two
positions and first two positions are the exact opposite. This tells
us a great deal about polarities, doesn’t it? Scorpio is opposite
Taurus and Sagittarius is opposite Gemini.
Sagittarians may stay safe in their cars
the same way they do in life, by having superbly developed higher
minds (Ninth House). Another name for this mind is intuition. The
highly developed sense of flow and good timing characteristic of
Sagittarians is what makes them the lucky sign. Furthermore, their
minds are right at home dealing with traffic patterns, flow and
spatial relations.
Scorpios, on the other hand, may stay safe
because they are intimately involved with the inner lives of others
in the same way their opposite sign Taurus is defended against this
information. Scorpios are sensitive to energy – whether it
is a foot away or thousands of miles away -- and can feel someone
“coming up from behind” at many different levels. Scorpios
know if you’ve had a fight with your wife the night before
or if you’re thinking about embezzling or having an affair
with your best friend’s husband. That’s why we always
feel like they can see right through us. They can.
Scorpios would be the drivers who would instinctively
“wake up” in time to let a cocaine addict pass them
at 95 or give a wide berth to a passive aggressive soccer mom hassling
two kids in the back seat and a phone conversation with her husband
all at the same time.
