    Your Zodiac Sign....Isn't what it seems....

    Disclaimer: I don't believe in astrology. This is just for one of my astronomy assignments.

    Did you know that your zodiac sign is not the one that you read in newspapers? I've got a little thing called a star locator that can also calculate your real starsign. Tell me your birthday month and day and I'll calculate it for you.

    Any Aprils? Late April birthdays are not Taurus, as I had thought I was, but Aries.

    What do you think?

    And whether pigs have wings."

    Papayahed, you are not a Leo, as it says in the newspaper, but a Hydra, and
    EDIT EDIT EDIT...sorry, I crossed the wrong line...you're a Cancer. I thought Hydra was the snake.

    wilbur lim, you are like me, not a Taurus but an Aries.

    Though I do not take astrology seririously or as reliable, I am happy with my current zodiac sign and think it is fitting, but I am currious to see what this new calculation will put me as.

    Where did Julius Caesar fall under? Technically, does it count?

    I do believe in astrology, but, I dont go to the astrologers to ask about my future; it will be come a vicious cycle.

    Here its a big deal to have the horoscope made, especially amongst the Hindus; it is used every where, like, matching the horoscopes before a marriage to see if the couple are compatible with each other, to know about the career or personal life, etc.

    Astrology is a science and it involves calculations, it is quite accurate. To make a horoscope one need to know the time of the birth and the place as well, along with the DOB.

    My parents have got my horoscope made, and they consult the astrologer about my future. Sometimes I ask them what did he say, but mostly I avoid knowing. It is my curiosity that makes me ask, just to see or verify what he said will come true or not.

    As per my birth date, my zodiac is Aries and not Leo (the month I was born).
    Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.

    Be the change you wish to see

    Seriously, have a trouble believing in the astrological thingsies but they can be pretty much fun to have a look at for the sake of laughter.

    Can you also tell the characteristics of the zodiac sign I possess as well? They seem to vary so much in different books.

    Hello there~

    Hydra is one of Pluto's moons; and I think it's only used for astrological purposes. ^^

    I should probably say that the farther away you are from the mid-latitude area of the Northern Hemisphere, the more wrong I'll be. My star locator is for latitude 40*N. So, this would be your sign ONLY IF you were born in this latitude.

    Dark Muse: Aquarius

    JBI: at Julius Caesar's time, the stars hadn't moved so much, so his star sign would be correct.

    Maddie -- you're right about it becoming a vicious cycle. My astronomy professor says that he's had people run out of the classroom crying when they figured out their real sign.

    LadyW: my star locator says Gemini too, but again that's most likely because you're higher up than I am.

    Sleepy: you're a Leo

    Pensive: Scorpio, and yeah, they do get pretty funny!! I wish I could tell you the characteristics, but alas, my data is inconclusive .

    amalia: Gemini

    Niamhie, you're right between Capricorn and Sagitarius. Ergo, you've characteristics of both .
