Somebody needs to send out a distress signal to Libras! At the moment they only have 3 of 144 votes. We may have just learned the hard way that Libras don’t vote in polls, even to save their own lives. 🙂 ---

They run away as soon as they find out it’s text only. 😉 ---

I’m supposedly a Capricorn, which should idscourage any belief whatsoeverin astyrology forever. I’m really a stereotypical Pisces. ---

I am a Cancer sign. I ‘mom’ people. I don’t usually think about it too much, but it seems to me the people who have screwed me over the worst while claiming to love me have been Geminis. Any other in the Cancer sign have seen that? ---

I don’t know, but I’m a Gemini with Cancer rising and I screw myself over all of the time. :smack: ---

Hmmph. Not like there’s any real purpose to this. Capricorn. (Or maybe we’re just bitter because enough of us have birthdays that get run over by a reindeer.) ---

> [@pravnik](#): > > Good point. Further complicating the whole thing is that the astrological “houses” of the zodiac are of equal size, but the constellations (and the parts of them overlying the ecliptic) aren’t. The Sun is in Virgo for around 45 days, but only in Scorpio for about 7. > > [Your Astronomical Sun Sign](http://dionysia.org/astrology/sun-signs.html) (including Ophiuchus) > > [What’s Your Sign?](http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/misc/zodiac.html) by the good ol’ Bad Astronomer I’m an Ophiuchus!

Scorpio - just had a birthday. Lots of my friends did too. Someone recently pointed out to me why we know so many people with November birthdays…it’s 9 months _after_ **Valentine’s Day**. ---

I am a Sagittarius whether you use the traditional dates or actual dates. Although if I had been born a few days later, I would be a Capricorn with the traditional dates and if I was born a few days earlier, I would be an Ophiuchus using the actual dates.
