I’m a double Pisces (Pisces sun and moon)/Tiger. These two seem to be completely opposing signs, which is interesting, I guess. I just don’t have a need to base my life on my horoscope; I’m perfectly capable of screwing it up on my own.

I’m a Leo (under the sun, if you’re interested)/Horse. I do not believe in astrology, but I like calendars. My Hebrew birthday is the 25th of Tammuz, btw. I’d be happy to learn what my Muslim-calendar birthday would be, if anyone knows of how to figure that out.

Gosh, Doctor Jackson, I sure would hate it if I ‘accidentally’ spilled some beer/coffee/mysterious glowing pink liquid on your lap (or head) during the Atlanta Doper get-together. 😉

Apparently, I’m a Watery Ox Aquarius.

## Having said that, I think it’s a load of crap. How are the stars gonna determine someones characteristics ?

Dragon Virgo on Leo Cusp. There’s a lot more to astrology than just the 12 signs… some of it gets scary in its accuracy. There is a big blue book out there called “The Only Astrology Book You’ll Ever Need”. Aptly named… it can usually describe someone to a T based off of their birthday. I think it even breaks it down to the time you were born. I’m a sceptic, but the book did make me start wondering how much affect the time of year someone was born in could affect their personality.

Scorpio Rat - acting very mysterious about the true nature of the cheese and whether it is an aphrodisiac…
