Very well then I will pursue it independently, but thanks for the short explanation.
Sorry for the terseness. There are some personal things going on which shouldn't have crept into my answer. I guess I tend to be defensive about Astrology, which is why I ceased doing it for awhile. Many personal details come up within an Astrology session as complexes and patterns can be apparent within the inter-relations of the points in the chart.
When I do an interpretation for someone, it takes from two to three hours and usually a second session is booked by the individual for more depth.
So what are all the different signs and their meanings
The best site to read about this is

If you have questions or problems with the site, don't hesitate to ask me.
which are relative and which are accurate?
The Signs are all arbitrary divisions of the sky and I do not put too much stock in them as their definitions are too general for accuracy.
The angular inter-relations of the components I listed above are where I derive my observations from. The accuracy is very good and I have described aspects of a persons inner life, such as fears, needs, etc. with well-defined descriptions and interpretations. Astrology is not something to be learned quickly. It took me over a year before I was confident enough to interpret the chart of a person other than close friends and people I knew well.
I was born in the year of the Horse and in the sign of Taurus, since I don't know numerology here is my birth date to interpret if you want: 6th of the 5th, 1990.
Though I have read on Chinese astrology, it is not something I am competent enough in to comment on. Chinese astrology is more a predictive medium, as is Vedic, which is why I concentrated on Western almost exclusively as it is more psyche-based.
As far as your Taurus Sun sign, the link above would be better for a description than what I could give.
I am more an Astrologer than a Numerologer. I use Numerology as a supplement to an astrologial interpretation as it will give me another perspective, which will reinforce the astrology, and at times will lead me to something I may have missed.
To do a complete Numerological interpretation, I would require your full name and birth date, but from what you have stated, your Life Path, which is derived from your birth date, is a....
Reason for Edit: So I've edited this because it was late and I wrote down 1900 instead of 1990 and that's so obviously wrong. so here's the real Life Path:
You are a 3 Life Path.
Being as I'm an Astrologer and use Numerology as a compliment,
this link is a good interpetation, but Life Path numbers, like astrological signs, are generalizations, which is why I do not use Numerology.
But this is only the Life Path. How you use or express this Life Path is delineated by the numbers from your full name.
Are there any similarities between the INTP typing and an astrology sign, that would make me really consider it's validity.
Yes. When I began to investigate MBTI, I knew my chart inside and out. Initially, I thought I was INTJ and held to that for quite a while, but there were qualities of the INTJ which 'felt wrong' and did not fit certain aspects of my chart. Case in point was my prediliction for the mystical and the occult which an INTJ would never accept as it could not be proven empirically. But INTP's are dreamers and they are seekers of more and more info to correlate. I investigated Astrology because it fascinated me and it was something new to learn. I had approached it with the same scepticism as many people do, but the more I delved into it, the more seemed to make sense to me personally and in my life.
All of my planets except Jupiter are below the Horizon in my chart and my Sun/Mercury/Pluto/Venus/Moon are clustered at the very bottom. This indicates
(in general) an extremely introspective and guarded person whose main concerns are learning and delving into secrets.
This fits my INTP perfectly.
My Neptune is trined
(120 deg.) my Medium Coeli
(top-most point in chart) perfectly which indicates that my exterior social identity would involve mystical/spiritual/artistic/musical aspects and these would affect me deeply on an interior level and be a strong part of my life.
Again, a match to an attribute of INTP.
My Ne is indicated by a perfect sextile
(60 deg) to my Ascendant from Mercury and semi-sextile (30 deg) from Uranus
(...it is in between Mercury and my Asc). This would indicate that I would interact with the outside world on an intuitive basis. It also indicates an 'unusual' sense of humour.
Another match.
There is much much more, but this gives you an idea.
My astrological chart reflects me perfectly, even on some aspects of myself I wished to deny. When I went back in time in my chart, important events in my life corresponded to major transiting planets aspecting planets in my chart in distinct decipherable ways which fit the events.
Astrology is another one of our tools. If it is used incorrectly, then the results will be flawed. If utilized within its parameters with intelligence and restraint, it can be another insight into the complexities we are.
Again, I appologise for my tone in the earlier post, but we INTP's will defend our 'beliefs' strongly.
