So, hoopers, what's your Zodiac Sign, and which sign hoops most ?
I'm a bit into Astrology, so I'm curious whether there are more hoopers of certain signs.
I made a little poll here, please take it:
http://www.misterpoll.com/polls/463764
Results so far: http://www.misterpoll.com/polls/463764/results
As A Virgo I love the learning curve, the way it looks cool, and the way you don't get really messy or sweaty while getting a good workout. Beyonce is a Virgo too.
What about other signs ? I'm guessing twinkle-toes Gemini gets into multiple hooping really fast, and they probably invented LED hoops (they love gadgets, lights and sparkle !)
Sags are supposed to be a bit clumsy, but they do have circus grease in their blood. They love collapsible hoops, because they love to be on the road.
Leos probably love to perform while wearing gorgeous outfits, stunning everyone with their graceful moves and shining mane. I wonder whether fire signs are more attracted to fire hoops ? If so, Aries probably gets burned the most, but a little thing like that won't stop them. I'm guessing that Scorpios are likely to see hooping's spiritual side, or is that Pisces ? Aquarians are all the ones hooping in weird outfits, careless of anyone's stares; unlike the Cappy goats, most of whom don't care for random hooping in public, unless that's their job. I wonder who'd be the one hooping in dresses: Libra, Pisces or Cancer ? Libras and Gems would love to hoop with others, Aries and Leos would love to hoop for an audience, while the water signs would probably need their privacy. Do water signs love water hoops, I wonder ?
Who's most likely to hoop in unhoopable but gorgeous hoops, with tassels and fuzz and all that... Aquas ? Leos ? Artsy Pisceans ?
Update: more guesses, by popular demand.
Taureans probably researched for a long time before buying the best quality hoop they could find that was not too expensive. They are probably quite attached to their hoop, and will not ditch it in favour of a more sparkly one anytime soon. And woe betide anyone who even looks like they might scratch it ! The Bulls are very likely to have made their own hoop, just like the Virgos. Geminis prefer the ease of buying, unless they want something really fancy that they can't find in a store. The Cancerians are very likely to be attached to their hoop, making sure that it's never cold and lonely.
Taurus is also likely to do the whole thing properly: once they get into something, they commit to it.
I love how SenseSublimity put in about hooping as a Cancerian: "I love how the hoop brings me into my own world yet expresses myself outward at the same time". I guess the other signs for whom the circle is an inner world would be Pisces and Scorp.
Scorps hate to fumble in public, so they probably learn in the basement till they are good enough to show off some moves. Scorps can be quite shy, and if they make up their mind not to hoop in public, nothing can make them. But if they decide to overcome their shyness, rest assured that they'll be the coolest hooper ever, never letting their nervousness show.
I'd love to see a Scorp, Leo and Aries trying to out-perform each other...
It makes sense that Leos would love to teach, they'd do it quite well too. Virgos would like to as well, but they'd be too nervous about not being good enough. Taureans would make good teachers (their patience), so would Scorps.
I wonder who has the most hoops ? Not Taurus or Cappy, Gems, Aquas and Libras probably have bunches but for handing around to friends and random people. Virgos have a nice collection, but are careful to keep it uncluttered, and not to have more hoops than they actually use.
Ha ha that's my little imitation of Mystic Medusa. Anyway, please take a poll and feel free to talk about your ascendants in the comments !

yea you did hit it on the head with taurus. i make my own hoops-- never have bought one yet. i have grown a huge attachment to my first hoop. when i make hoops, i try to make sure they're all perfect-- and i've had quite a few but most of them have been gifts for family/friends. i've been wanting an led hoop, but i will wait until i know that i'm definately getting the one i want.

Total cancer!! And yes, I do have quite an attachment to my hoop! It's my favorite place to be, and I find myself very much at home in my own world when I am in my hoop, everyone and everything else fades away into that swirling blur that I love; the hoop allows you to be alone with everyone else, and if you cannot see anyone, it alleviates a lot of that tension from other watching. Thank goodness for those beautiful circles!!

Laurapink you said: "It's really hard for me to hula hoop and not say anything, or make weird faces (or noises). It's incredibly amusing and entertaining on so many levels."
LOL SO TRUE for me too! I’m a taurus and I constantly have a running commentary on my hooping. Or singing along with music that you cant sing along with "doo, do, dut, dee, dee doot!". I wear my thoughts on my face and in my mouth. I just thought it was me but I guess I was born that way. ;)
And Eternal Voyageur, I love this hooping horoscope! I'm not quite so obsessive with my hoops, I have 8 I think. I haven’t started to make my own yet but when I do I'm sure that’s when my obsession will take over. What kind of tape to order, what kind of tubing. When I make things myself I over think it so much and then become really protective of it when I'm done because I put so much effort into it.
You were bang on with "Taurus is also likely to do the whole thing properly: once they get into something, they commit to it." That’s why I have been hooping for a year and a half and would call myself intermediate/advanced but still haven’t made a hoop video!

As an Aries I do love to perform, which I almost forgot about prior to my 1st hoop performance! Although, large crowds with all eyes on me make me nervous. And I'm very attached to my hoops, I keep one for a long time until I outgrow it and move on, never to look back. I haven't gotten to fire hoop yet, although I really want to, but I Love fire staff!
"I wonder whether fire signs are more attracted to fire hoops ? If so, Aries probably gets burned the most, but a little thing like that won't stop them." Right about that!

double leo! I am most influenced by my virgo moon when planning a hoop performance, or putting together a class. I have a lot of self doubt about teaching and pre performance, however, when i'm out there, it's leo all the way and all the other stuff seems to disappear :) I was introduced to the hoop through fire, so, that's kind of how I got my start. I love fire staff, hoop and all the instruments that can be lit on fire to tell a story.

a way out of the hoop
Posted by Swizzy Ape 2 Comments 0 Likes
I'm stuck in a loop with the hula hoop. When I was a little girl I was abused in every which way. Often I was grounded to my bedroom, with two bathroom visits and a dinner release. In my bedroom held my boom box. Loud music would draw my angry step father towards my room. But I had to dance, so from a young age I would take a few preventable beatings so I could dance in my bedroom. Pretending I'm dancing on stage with Brain Setzer, I had trained myself to ingore reality while I dance. Even…
for the love of hoopers......

I haven't posted for a very long time, but I have something worth sharing. In the last couple of years, I have advanced enough to start teaching and I absolutley love my classes. All my students are wonderful its the most favorite part of my week. Through a very unfortunate series of events, every hoop I own, including my hoops for students, were taken and no longer in my possession. I was so upset ,not for myself, but my students would have nothing to take class with. There…
