One side of my family has been into astrology, etc for years and years and years. My chart was made within half an hour of my birth. I'm a Saggitarius rising. The site makes me a Taurus rising. /shrug I have a poster sized chart, as well as a little book, along with handwritings, etc. It's crazy, I know.. if only I could tell you the stories that came of this (maybe this is a good jumping point for some writing once I'm done with finals).

On a personal level, I find most websites to have super vague descriptions that can cover almost anyone, or at least we can all see a bit of ourselves in it. Anyone even willing to look into this is introspective enough for that.

The website doesn't ask questions that are very important; well, mainly "Where the hell were you born?" as it plays a role.

Not that it really matters, just thought y'all should know.

I was raised by an astrologist mom and everything related to where the hell the planets were aligned at any given time. Car broke down? Mercury is retrograde, that's why! Billy Bob and Cissy broke up? Well, sheesh- everyone knows a Leo and a Scorpio are a bad match! Erica, I'd love to hear some of your stories- I've a few as well. I think astrology can be fun, but when you're scheduling life events around the planetary alignment it's a PITA. ( I'm sure the Reagans' employees would agree).

(Oh, my ascendant is Gemini- the site got my sign right).
