What's your sign?
How closely do you follow your horoscope? Do you identify with your zodiac sign? Have you ever thought perhaps you belonged in another sign instead? Chances are, you do.

The real Solar Zodiac has more than twelve signs, and the dates differ from the standard Tropical Zodiac, which is the most familiar.

This table is accurate for 2002 AD.

* Conventional if you follow the Western Tropical Zodiac, not the Eastern Sidereal Zodiac.

If you were born on the cusp of a Real Solar Zodiac sign you should note that these dates vary - by a maximum of a day - within the four yearly leap year cycle.

The Real Solar Zodiac dates also move forward by about one full day every 70 years because of the Movement of the Ages.

If you follow conventional Western astrology, the Tropical Zodiac dates on the right of the table will form the Zodiac Wheel you are used to. Unfortunately the dates are not correct. The real Sun Sign dates are given on the left hand side of the table. As you can see there is not much overlap between the two. In fact for 326 days each year the Sun does not appear against the constellation that the Tropical Zodiac says it is in.  If you always felt that your Sun Sign doesn't really describe you, there is an  89% chance that you are right! This also means that the Moon and Planets are not usually in the sign that the Tropical Zodiac says they are, and that Rising Signs are inaccurate 326 times out of every 365 if the Tropical Zodiac is used to find them. 


According to this chart, I am actually a Sagittarius (the Tropical Zodiac places me in Capricorn). Interestingly, my husband's sign (which remains the same in both) is an opposing sign of Sagittarius (Gemini).

Characteristics

Astrologers broadly agree that the following are the characteristics of Sagittarius:

Positive Traits

Negative Traits

As listed above, the Sagittarius has several good qualities, but with a few serious flaws. They are seen as having a duality similar to that of the Centaur or Satyr above. The Sagittarius's dual natures, that of the beast (aggressive, rebellious, sexual, free-roaming, etc.) and the higher nature (philosophical, open-minded, honest etc.) are said to be in constant conflict. The day to day struggle of the Sagittarius is represented in the astrological sign, which is interpreted by some to be an arrow lifting a heavy, cross-shaped burden.






I think I have traits from both signs (Capricorn and Sagittarius) though I do think Sag fits me better. Caps are often portrayed as very 'stuffed shirt' workaholic type, which doesn't often apply to me. Though I can be very serious, I am also a rebel. I would love to know what others think about their 'true sign' and if it fits them better than the other.
