After posting that I'm an Aries in another thread...I started thinking about the rest of you and what your signs are.

Based on the online persona of some of the Oprano regulars that I've either met or have gotten enough 'vibes' out of their posts, I've come up with a list of what sign -I- feel your online persona portrays....hehe [hey, it's Sunday night and I'm feelin' cheaky...] :awinky:

Serge - Air sign - Gemini.

MikeAI - Earth sign - Capricorn.

Colin - Earth sign - I'd lean towards Virgo....(but I know you were talking about some 'new' sign that you are??)

Dianna Vesta - Water sign - Scorpio. -OR- Fire sign - Leo.

KK - Water sign - Pisces. -OR- Water sign - Scorpio.

Voodooman - Fire sign - Aries. (but I think I already know you are an Aries??)

Torone - Earth sign - Taurus. (maybe it's just because of your name...hehe)

Peaches - Water sign - Cancer.

Sykkboy - I'd like to say Water sign - Scorpio.....but I think it's more Cancer?

CJ - Fire sign - Leo

PornoDoggy - Air sign - Aquarius.

Nick - You'd like everyone to believe you are Water sign - Scorpio......but I think you are more Fire sign - Leo. ;)

RawAlex - Air sign - Aquarius.

Sharky - Air sign - Libra

Shok - Earth sign - Taurus

rrred - Fire sign - Saggitarius

Hooper - Water sign - Cancer

OriginalHeather - Air sign - Libra

I have a list of reasons why I chose the signs I did.....maybe I'll post it later. :awinky:

If you're not on the list, please don't be offended....it's probably just because I haven't gotten enough out of your posts to decide. :blink:

Remember, this is based SOLEY on what I've seen of you online, and on my 'limited' knowledge of astrology. :zoinks:

Ahh, regardless...it was fun. :nyanya:

GiGi, I would love to know the reasons for your choice for me.

I do not know enought about these things.

I am actually a Sagitarius, but I think astology is silly....

This is why I chose Cap for you:

MikeAI - Earth sign - Capricorn. Very easy going and likable, yet careful. Reliable.

But you are a fire sign....interesting. Sag is one before Cap....what's your B-Day? Are you cusp?

I didn't expect to be correct with my guesses....it's just what I see from everyone's posts online....I figure everyone's online persona is different than their 'true' nature.....at least I am. (I think...lol)

oooo, an Aries/Taurus cusp huh? I'm an Aries through and through, but I have 5 planets in Taurus.....so I'm opinionated and obnoxious with a hint of stubborness to go with that....hehe

I chose Aquarius for you because of your 'left' leaning and apparent concern for humankind. Aquarius' are known for their humanitarian work. :awinky:

Definitely on my knees. :wnw: (not like that you pervs!)

I do want to make clear that I have known VDM for close to 4 years now....there's a 'voodoo' that posts at GFY....and because of my prenatal hormones (VDM and I have already discussed this) I, for some reason, thought 'voodoo' was he.

Now I know why 'voodoo' at GFY didn't take a liking to my ribbing....ROTFL :P

KK - Water sign - Pisces. Not really sure why....either that or Water sign - Scorpio. Doesn't share thoughts and feelings unless there is a level of 'comfort' and stability to a relationship. Mysterious yet strong presence.

The earth wobbles in it's orbit so the sun wasn't in the constellations most of us think of as "our sign" when we were born.

The sun was in Ophiuchus when I was born.

Astrology isn't based on the real position of the earth and stars. It's based on fixed dates that have no correspondance to reality anymore. Of course, the Chaldeans had no idea of this when they invented or at least popularized astrology.

Here is a modern table of where the sun is for various dates. Compare it to your own sign and you will see your sign is likely different than the one given in the old tables copied and recopied from ancient times. These are only approximate as there is slight annual variation.

Constellation Dates

Capricornus January 19 to February 15
Aquarius February 16 to March 11
Pisces March 12 to April 18
Aries April 19 to May 13
Taurus May 14 to June 19
Gemini June 20 to July 20
Cancer July 21 to August 9
Leo August 10 to September 15
Virgo September 16 to October 30
Libra October 31 to November 22
Scorpius November 23 to November 29
Ophiuchus November 30 to December 17
Sagittarius December 18 to January 18

By the old table I was a sagitarrius. Fire sign, right?

Nope. In business I am a chameleon. It would eb hard to tell what I am unless you knew me personally and spent time with me. I'm extremely complex and often looked at as fickle because of my diversity.

Taurus with Capricorn rizing.

I am true to both signs. My moon is in my first house. I haven't figured out if I'm determined or just plain stubborn. maybe both.

Thanks for posting that list Colin - when did that one become the new dates? I mean - some of us are old enough that maybe we were born under the "ancient" signs. lol *ducking*

Interesting though...I had a reading done many years ago as a joke by my exact birth date, etc. not by my sign (which I thought was Cancer - and those traits perfectly fit me BTW) - and it warned me about a Virgo who would "come into my world, steal my heart and become my life." Hub (whom I thought was a Libra according to the old chart) always teased me about "Sancho the Virgo" - the guy I must be seeing when he's at work. lol Now I find out that in this new chart my hubby is actually a Virgo! :inlove: :inlove:

Gonna have to show him this chart in your post - maybe he'll quit teasing me about Sancho - lol

Don't worry. Astrologers still use the positions of the planets from about 2000 years ago to determine signs. The ones I posted are true in the sense that the sun is REALLY in those constellations at present during those months. The astrological signs that can be looked up in astrology books and the real physical location of stars, planets, the earth, moon and sun are actually different. The ones we use were first set down mostly bythe Greeks Hipparchus and Ptolemy. Ptolemy was certainly a first-rate astronomer and mathematician for the times.
Your "sun sign" is the constellation the sun was in around 200 AD; Ptolemy's time.

I used to own zodiacsigns.com I just learned I let it expire. :-(

Interesting chart. I remember checking it out when you posted a url before.

That chart makes me a pisces.

And yes, Sag is a fire sign.

3 signs per element:
Earth: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Air: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Fire: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Water: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Here's an interesting article on Ophiuchus that says basically what you are saying Colin:
http://www.griffithobs.org/SkyOphiuchus.html
This one's rather funny...lol:
http://www.kernel.uky.edu/1996/spring/0424/n13f.html
There were many more also supporting these claims.

I also found a few articles that refuted those claims...example:
http://www.devineadvantage.com/articles/ophiuchus.htm
http://www.astarotology.com/ophiucus.html
http://www.elysian.co.uk/askastrologerarch...20heard%20about (http://www.elysian.co.uk/askastrologerarchives3.htm#)

I do agree with Troland though:

"Astrology, I think, survives because it appeals to peoples' romantic inclinations to believe in magic. "It appeals to a very deep and profound desire that people have to see meaning where they don't see it otherwise, and also to be able to predict, to some extent, things that will happen in the future," he said.

But in all honesty...is that such a bad thing????

Gigi,

Those are all interesting articles. It is true that you can mentally reset the zodiac on the vernal equinox to Aries. Of course, that is a mental point only and has no correspondence to the physical world.

A few errors I read.

1. Ophiuchus and Hercules are actually separate and distinct contellations, not the same one.

2. Ophiuchus cannot have been discovered. Constellations are defined, not found. They have no basic in reality as a unit. Stars in two separate constellations may very well be and often are closer to each other than stars that are in the same constellation. We are effectively viewing three dimensional space in two dimensions.

There are actually times when the Sun is not in any constellation. Consider that constellations don't overlap. One could argue that astrology deals with symbolic relationships only and that there is no correspondence between astrology and astronomical objects. Of course, then the question is why would one refer to astronomical objects at all? Why not just use dates?

Yup, I agree completely Colin. I didn't find any rebuttles satisfyingly convincing...even though I wanted to.

One more to add to your list:

One article says Ophiuchus was just recently 'found'....while the others say astrologers have 'known' about Ophiuchus for hundreds of years.....tsk tsk.



There are actually times when the Sun is not in any constellation.

This one I totally noticed in the article with the map. Also, Aries isn't even ON the band in that map! :zoinks:

I was born in a void. :redance:

"Any relationship between Astrology and Reality is purely coincidental and accidental "

One thing I can say....

Of course, then the question is why would one refer to astronomical objects at all? Why not just use dates?

Symbols have been used for thousands of years to help people relate to different concepts. It would be easy to say that the constellations and what they represent were used to help people understand the concept behind astrology. They could have just as easily chosen tree species, I suppose, or anything that the people of the time could relate to....and at that time, it was nature and the 'stars' that were prominent in people's lives.
