    Oh, no, no, very likely yours are as accurate as can be, especially if you've got the real charts and all. I put a disclaimer on the first page...let me quote it here:

    Two thousand years ago the sun sign in the paper would have been accurate, but since that time they've shifted just one sun sign.

    Scorpius! I'd hazard a guess that this one is correct, since it's one sign off from what you thought it was.

    Have you done your own chart Janine? I had mine done once and it was pretty neat.

    Ok Taurus,

    Oh, no, no, very likely yours are as accurate as can be, especially if you've got the real charts and all. I put a disclaimer on the first page...let me quote it here:
    My book of charts is older but I think it is pretty accurate. The charts of the basic signs such as sun, moon, mercury, mars, venus...and so on...are not too difficult to look up; then once you find the chart say:

    Sun in Cancer
    Moon in Virgo
    Mercury in Pisces
    and so on...

    Then you look up the various charactersistic for each planet, such as above: Sun in Cancer, Moon in Virgo. Ok, work is far from done. One then refers to another book about composites. There could be two water signs such as Cancer and Pisces in the chart - they would be Trine...if my memory serves me right - you see they are the water signs, however they must be within 9 degrees. There are trines, opposites, conjunctions, sextiles, etc...it is all mathematical. So then you see what 'trines' indicate - usually compatibility/attaction, being of the same - water. Let's put it this way, looking up the chart is not difficult, but checking out all the characteristics does take considerable time. I imagine now they can do all that with computers.

    Two thousand years ago the sun sign in the paper would have been accurate, but since that time they've shifted just one sun sign.
    Wow, that is interesting though. True that they have shifted. hummm..makes me rethink the whole thing now.


    Leo, according to my latitude.
    I don't know what latitude we are at actually. I must look that up. humm..I get latitude mixed up with longitude. I better consult my globe or a map.



    Aquarius, though again, according to my latitude.

    Scorpius! I'd hazard a guess that this one is correct, since it's one sign off from what you thought it was.
    Depends on how close you are to the dates. I would venture to guess, Eye, that you possess characteristic of each. Hey, eye, you will have to find some fried scorpian to serve up on your profile page.

    Have you done your own chart Janine? I had mine done once and it was pretty neat.
    Yes, and my family and some friends, also. I used to keep a whole file of the charts, but I really was the only one who knew the full significance of them or the interpretations; because as I said above, it takes a great deal of time to look up all the various aspects of a chart. If you have your exact birthdate you can also look up your 'rising sign'... I forget now what is mine. I don't truly know how to look that up. There is much in astrology I don't know how to utilize. I only scratch the surface with this stuff, but it is funny and uncanny how so often it actually does fit the person.

    That is cool, Papaya, did it seem the chart was accurate as to your own personality? I would be curious about that. Did you do it online or at an actual astrologer's....haha...I can picture one with a pointed hat and stars on it.

    Yeah, I learned about this at an observatory-it's because the Earth shifts in different tilts over time, thus screwing up where the constellations appear to be.

    I'm a Taurus according to the newspapers, but I'm actually an Aries, apparently.

    And then there's a new guy-Ophiuchus. I just love that name.

    But I am indifferent to astrology, so it doesn't matter.

    Well, if everything has shifted, then that shifted all the relationships too....how funny. I guess it all relative.

    It was done online, I was on some website ad there were a few amatuer astrologists? or something that offered to do and read everybodies charts. Some of it seemed to fit some of it not.

    I have seen those online and wondered about them. Did they charge you or was it free? I guess the calculate it according to computers. Did they give you your chart?... such as:

    Sun in Leo
    Moon in Cancer
    Mercury in Leo
    Venus in Aquarius
    So on and so on...

    Those are just examples - not your chart of course.

    Thanks, papaya, when I have time, I will have to try it and see if the results line up with my hand calculated ones. Cool - thanks for the link.

    Hey andave, what about 2nd September?

    What you read in the newspaper, or what you read in general is just a tiny part of your birth chart, called the Sun sign. There's Moon sign, Venus sign, Mercury sign, Mars Sign, Jupiter sign, and so on...There's also your rising sign or your ascendant which is critical in predicting your future. All those make the very unique you. The placements of each planet in every sign are the make up of your character.


    Sun in Pisces
    Moon and Jupiter in Capricorn
    Venus and Mercury in Aquarius
    Mars, Ascendant, Saturn and Pluto in Scorpio
    Uranus in Sagittarius
