The option for the grumps out there is a nice touch.

Didn't want to leave them out, Karl. :)
November 22nd, so there is no definite zodiac sign for me :P If I were to choose, I'd go with Sagittarius though
If I wanted to find out from the newspaper what the future doesn't hold for me, I'd look under Virgo; but if what you're asking for is the constellation in which the Sun was located when I was born, as seen from the surface of the Earth, then I'd say Leo. But then, I really don't care which my sign is.
Quite proud that I can't remember 0:)
Caprcorn (Sun sign), Scorpio (Ascendant) :o

I was born on a cusp too but according to my year and time of birth, I'm Aquarius.

Assuming you celebrate it, you must get cheated at Christmas time? :D
Aries (sun), Scorpio (Ascendant - that's the one that dominates outward personality), and Leo (Moon - one's emotional side).
Astrology is a hugely fascinating subject, but it's horribly misunderstood and misrepresented. As for 'cusps', there's no such thing: it's just lazy astrology. ;D

Well, then they'd better make up their minds as to what sign Nov22 belongs to. I want to be able to read my horoscope in the daily paper like everyone else :'(

I don't care either but if there were any basis for astrology it would have be based on true signs and not the unadjusted ones in popular usage. Maybe I was born under Triangulum.
Scorpio, but I try my best not to sting.

I'm born 24th of January and I'm an aquarius too. I think the description for aquarius suits me quite well. At least we're supposed to be very open-minded and curious, and my music taste is VERY wide. I guess that goes for Sarge as well :).

I forgot that astrology is true as well. :)
In the spirit of moronic belief systems and the brilliant and brave people who subscribe to them, I'm just a good ol' Capricorn, but not at all stuck up about it. :D

For a goat, you are truly modest.
Me: Virgo, smack in the middle of the month of September.
We grumps are depressingly outnumbered. After this, it wouldn't surprise me to see a thread on penis size. :P

Indeed. The general description of an Aquarius is pretty close to my actual personality. I don't believe in astrology but I have studied it. The coincidences are sometimes fascinating. For example, Aquarians are supposed to be wildly attracted, romantically and sexually, to Pisces but we're warned to avoid them at all cost. My high school obsession was with a Pisces and I
was wildly attracted to her (still am) and it did end badly. My next serious relationship, a woman I fell in love with before I actually met her, turned out to be another Pisces (in fact, she had the same birthday as my previous lover!). The end result of that disastrous relationship was my near suicidal decision to enlist in the army while the war in Vietnam was still raging. She damn near killed me. I should have heeded my horoscope ;D

Same here I was born May 20, 1973. The last day of Taurus. I believe May 21 alternates between Taurus/Gemini depending on the year.

Boonton - May 22 - June 21
Passaic - June 22 - July 22
West Orange - July 23 -August 21

Pequannock - October 24 - November 22
Secaucus - November 23 - December 22
Neptune - December 23 - January 20

Telepathy is true, too! :o I want an alternate Universe! Get me outta here!
For those who care about these things, I'm a Scorpio.
The constellation is plainly visible in the southern sky this time of year, by the way.
I haven't voted as there is no option for 'other'.
Capricorn here! [Goat]

What? No Hackensack?? :'(
Seriously, if there was any grain of truth in this, we'd know it. A woman can predict her fertile periods, whereas an astrologer can't predict his own lucky or unlucky days. One is based on biological fact, confirmed by thousands of years of experience from billions of subjects. The other is deception and imposture wrapped in fantasy and sprayed with superstition. Pay me ten dollars, please.

I don't really believe in those things. But I've just had it done anyway :D It says my sun is Scorpio so is the rising one. The problem is I could not be further from the general characteristics of the Scorpio sign. Perhaps I am wrong about the exact time of my birth :P

Maybe. I can tell you that I have always got along much better with Scorpios than Sagittarius.
Never took this too seriously although I remember that whilst at university a girl came up to talk to me at a party (an unusual expeience in itself 8) ) and after c 5 minutes she said "You're a cancerian aren't you?" and it is true :o

Me too. ;D Just at the midnight from Aries to Taurus. I always considered myself a Taurus, but sometimes it looks like Aries takes over. ::)
