So, hoopers, what's your Zodiac Sign, and which sign hoops most ?
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 !
If anyone is interested about some fund & quality reading about their sign, I recommend Linda Goodman's Sun Signs, you can read the whole thing online here !

Aries! Actually, I like fire hooping but I didn't want to try it until a few months ago. Now I can't wait to get one!
I honestly can't wait to get back in front of an audience...I performed in one art or another for 11 years and I've been itching to get back on stage. Aries do also love fun clothing combos but we also like it to be functional, which is totally me. I gotta be able to hoop in it!

Oh my!! Am I the only CANCER so far! lol! I love spinning and spinning and spinning :) I love how the hoop brings me into my own world yet expresses myself outward at the same time! I get a little uncomfortable hooping in public at first but i bring them EVERYWHERE and I always end up zoning out and could care less about what other people are thinkin by the time I get in my groove :)

I'm Cancer...but I totally care when others are watching...I actually have trouble catching the groove if there is a camera or watching eyes. :( It's my goal for 2010 to learn to be free of those types of cares.

yes!!! that is pretty much exactly my relationship with the hoop. I'm a cancer as welll.. i was beginning to wonder where all the cancers were. i saw the poll and cancers are the highest though! but yes im so timid when i first begin hoopin in front of people but after about a minute or so i LOVE it. i can just soak it in and i feel like i need to be hooping and sharing this wonderful art form. especially at my last performance. everyone kept telling me what a true art it was. i felt obligated to share with them what i have discovered within the hoop.i couldnt care if some people disliked it because i love it so much.

I'm a Taurus. I love performing, but at the moment it's a battle with inhibition in front of people staring at me. 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.
My hoop partner BFF is a Cancer, and man can that girl go! There have been so many times where I've collapsed breathless onto the ground and she's still going, and will keep going until she decides it's time to finally stop and then collapses more than I did. I'm a little jealous of her stamina, actually.
