Can't remember if I ever made a thread about this. Ah well, whatever. I was born on the 25th of February 1988, so that makes me a Piscean. In terms of Chinese astrology, I was born in the year of the dragon. So I'm a dragon as far as Chinese astrology is concerned (an earth dragon, to be precise). What's your Western Zodiac sign? Feel free to mention your Chinese astrological sign as well.
Scorpio, brah. I'm the immortality talisman, China-wise, year of the horse. Appropriate for obvious reasons. *high fives passerby*
^ Are you a fire horse? According to Chinese astrology, they're born only every 60 years and are apparently capable of consuming everything in their paths and wreaking havoc wherever they go. 
Nah, there won't be another of those 'til 2026.
There won't be another year of the dragon until 2012. And then we'll all die and party with Satan. Epic. 
In terms of the Zodiac, a capricorn.
In terms of the Chinese, an Earth Dragon, just like Rishi. D:
I'm not entirely sure what I am. As a June 21st I sometimes go under Gemini and sometimes Cancer. So I'm a cusp I suppose.
Chinese wise I'm an Earth Snake.
It's like my zodiac is trying to tell me i'm a bad person 🙁
Aries in the West (numero uno!) and Fire Rabbit in the East.
Which is weird because Aries is associated with leadership and an extroverted personality, yet the Rabbit is associated as a follower and an introverted personality.
I'm a weird individual.
"chinese zodiac"
OH HAY GUYZ WATS GOIN ON IN DIS THREAD
Normal Zodiac I'm the Lion. In Chinese I'm Earth Horse (that best horse!).
you're so into this huh rishi? cause i think you asked me my sign right after "welcome to the forum" 
anyway i used this site to figure out which chinese zodiac i was http://chinese.astrology.com/Ox.aspx i'm the Ox, it's strong and confronting just like me 
<Normal Zodiac I'm the Lion. In Chinese I'm Earth Horse (that best horse!)>
.... isn't the normal zodiac chinese? ... im confused, how do you know your element animal? and how many chinese zodiacs are there??
The normal zodiac is the one with Aries, Taurus, Gemini, etc.
The animal in the Chinese zodiac is determined by the year you were born and the element is determine by the date you were born. I, for instance, was born April 12 1987. 1987 is a Rabbit year and since I was born between January 29 1987 and February 26 1988, my element is Fire, just like in the West.
Wikipedia has some nice articles about it.
oh i get it, the element thing caught me off guard, although i remember someone telling me about it before....
i'm an aquarius..... so that means
i'm a water ox!
wow almost said water buffalo 
My birthday is March 21st, which is both the first and last day of the zodiac. That makes me a Pisces/Aries cusp, and I fit the description to a T, from the whimsical dreamer to the hotheaded competitor, all with a passion and drive for music and arts. And considering I'm a music major, again, I think it fits 8D
As for the Chinese zodiac, I'm a snake, and according to Wikipedia... it's scarily accurate, too o_o Both good and bad characteristics.

To all those born on a cusp, you CANNOT be two signs at once because the Sun's centre is only ever in one zone of the Zodiac at a time. Being born on a cusp typically signifies that although you have ONE particular Sun sign attributed to yourself, you may also have more of a tendency to express certain characteristics of the Sun sign preceeding or succeeding your own than anyone who wasn't born on a cusp does (depending on where the cusp in question is situated, of course). The times during which the Sun passes through the twelve equal zones of the Zodiac are extremely precise and a person can know which one particular Sun sign is attributed to himself or herself by finding out what his or her birth time is - however, it must be exact at least down to the hour and minute when he or she was born. As far as the name 'normal Zodiac' is concerned, I prefer to just call it the 'Western Zodiac'. That's just my choice though. I think that Western astrology, Chinese astrology and Jyotish (Indian astrology) are all 'normal' in their own ways.
The problem is, just because it says a sign starts on one date, you can't guarantee which sign the sun was in at that given time. Almanacs and whatnot don't tell you that. That's why the dates should be March 20-21st for the end of Pisces, and March 21-22nd for the start of Aries, and so on. Also, the fact that I was born at 2AM on that morning doesn't help matters. I am literally between signs.
It's easier to just say I'm both than to do hours and hours of research on a minor detail I don't particularly care about.

If one's exact birth time is known, then his or her one Sun sign can be determined. As Astrology Zine states here:
"The Sun can only be in one Sign or another, not in two at once. The center point is considered to be such a small point, that it would cross from one Sign to another in less than a minute; and thus will go from 29 degrees and 59 minutes of one Sign, to 0 degrees and 0 minutes of the next Sign, in a very short time (Signs have 30 degrees, and a minute is 1/60th of a degree). The position of the Sun or any planet is never described as being in two Signs at once - it is in one Sign or the other, even if it is barely into the next Sign, or almost leaving the previous Sign. The only time it would be "on the fence", so to speak, is if its center point were exactly at the Cusp line, which is a rather rare occurance, since the center point and the Cusp line are infinitely small.
In reality, since our methods of measuring may not be up to such infinite accuracy, the Sun might be considered to be "on the Cusp" if it were within, say, 1/60th of a degree (one minute of arc) of the Cusp line. If you ever see a birth chart with a position written as 29 AQU 60 (using Aquarius as an example only), then this indicates the Sun or Planet was less than 1 minute (of arc) from the next Cusp, but had not yet moved across the Cusp boundary. Normally, 00 PIS 00 would come after 29 AQU 59, so the 60 is just a way to show how close it was to 00 PIS 00 without actually being there yet. (If you want more precision, you can add "seconds", which are 1/60th of one minute, to the position; but not all computer programs and not many human astrologers can work things out to this degree of accuracy. And since very few people would know their birth time to the exact second anyway, it seems irrelevant.)"

Yes, it is easier to just say you're both but it is still not true.
Also, PISCEAN DRAGONS FTW!!!!!!!!!
And I'd like to point out that I said I'd rather just go with what's easier than expend all that effort to figure out something I really don't care that much about 🙂 This is not my philosophy on life (in fact, I normally go with the opposite), but considering this is all hypothetical BS anyway, I'm not gonna go out of my way to learn what's correct or not.

I never said you needed to go out of your way to learn what's correct as far as your ONE Sun sign is concerned. S'all good!
What, you mean that wall of text wasn't directed at me in trying to pound the evidence in my head?
In fact, since there's next to no scientific merit in astrology anyway, why should there only be one sign per person? 8D

No, not really.

There is only one sign attributed to a person because the factor that determines what sign the Sun was in at the time of his or her birth is an astronomical phenomenon; it is an objective scientific phenomenon. When some kind of subjective meaning is derived from this astronomical phenomenon, it enters the realm of astrology.
I suppose I reckon you're right Rishi, I'm more often than not put as Gemini so I reckon that's probably my actual star sign, but my personality fits Cancer much more. Except being a hot-headed arguementitive git. That part's definately Gemini 😀 Of course it might be more me being affected by my chinese sign.
But then again I reckon the personality thing isn't concrete anyway, THS is a Gemini like me (unlike me though he's a very solid Gemini) yet exhibits pretty much zero of the traits. Same with his chinese star sign, he doesn't fit that either (metal sheep).
Oh I dunno!
btw Rishi do you know the actual date Gemini becomes Cancer because this site I'm using says 20th is the last Gemini day! So confusing!

The Sun moves from Gemini to Cancer on the 22nd of June.
Me is Gemini I think I'm year of the dragon but I'm not sure.
Capricorn. Yippee! But Chinese...hmmm I don't seem to remember. Snake maybe? *goes to look it up*
Edit: Ha...I am a dragon Woop woop!

well you have to belive in magic to believe in sun signs, the study of the signs is witchcraft anways. but on this i agree with you, i don't believe it.
the zodiacs were just a made up religion by leaders to control their ignorant people..... who can blame them though 
the stars are bewitchingly beautiful, we humans crave for beauty and worship it constantly, its no oddity we let our imagintion blind us from their truth, stars are just stars no mystic phenomenone..... and the signs are man made dreams.
however they are fun, and well fun is hard to find so let's just enjoy it
September 1st, 1989 is my birthdate
Latin Chart - Virgo 
Chinese - I remember reading this on wiki a while back ago but I don't remember if its accurate, but an Earth Snake as I recall. And being rather passive but interested in things like music (Although it leans into the more niche and aggressive areas such as metal and its near infinite amount of subgenres XD), poetry, writing, etc. the Snake and the element Earth seems to fit me just fine!
LEO I'M A LEO. But seriously why does it matter xD

what surprises me is he can say that word on this forum, i also read other words........ i assumed this being a sonic site we can't use bad language, so is it allowed? if it's okay, then cool i don't have to hold back 
<i'm not smoking just my candy is on fire>
just now i found out, trudi used the sun signs to figure out my age, that was a cool use for it
Gemini Tiger, baybeh.
Hahaha I won't turn into a real dragon, sonicsfan. Not until the next blue moon atleast. Gemini Tiger, Neo? Nice. 
As for word we're allowed to use...I don't recall which ones were actually banned, but it's quite hilarous when you use one and the forum edit comes in. lol
what surprises me is he can say that word on this forum, i also read other words........ i assumed this being a sonic site we can't use bad language, so is it allowed? if it's okay, then cool i don't have to hold back
LOL..... you just don't get it, do you? He's referring to himself being born in a metal rooster year. 
Hahaha I won't turn into a real dragon, sonicsfan. Not until the next blue moon atleast.
I'm a real dragon...... IN THE BEDROOM, LADIES!!!!!!!!! 
Oh, and everywhere else all the time as well. I can't help being awesome! 
xD! Oh gosh! Really...did you just go there, Rishi? LOL! Oh yea...I expect some SFIV fights later this month. I believe we're like...6 months overdue. lol
xD! Oh gosh! Really...did you just go there, Rishi? LOL!
Dude, you KNOW I did!
Oh yea...I expect some SFIV fights later this month. I believe we're like...6 months overdue. lol
Holy crap dude, I almost forgot about our SFIV fights! LOL! Don't worry though, we'll have some SFIV fights sometime later this month. I won't forget this time either, I promise! 
Technically, language shouldn't matter since you're supposed to be 13+ to sign up for this forum. However, we have to mind ourselves because of the little kiddies who like to sneak around the age limit and sign up anyway.
Fraggin' kids and their complete disregard for the rules.
I work with Chinese and whenever talking about the zodiac they do use cock instead of rooster. Even the animal charts in Chinese/English that my supervisor's daughter has say cock for rooster. So I don't think it's a bad word at all... Mind out of the gutter peeps XD
I was born on Friday, July 13th 1984 and astrology is a passion of mine
My sun sign is Cancer and sadly fit its every description.
The moon is my regent and if there's one thing that will help me calm down is staring up at home. It does suck when people don't understand me... hence the silent fights with the bf. He just doesn't get the fact that I'm a cancer and it can't always be everything about him.
My neediness is attributed to my Moon sign, Capricorn: Serious and responsible, you try to carry the world on your shoulders and rarely let others know that you need help and support. You deny or ignore your own emotional needs and feel that others will not accept you if you appear "weak".
In Chinese Astrology, I represent the Wood Rats. Their description matches me very well: Not nearly as self-confident as they appear on the surface, Wood Rats will never expose this vulnerability to others. They're successful despite their perpetual fear of failing.
In all, I am one very messed up person
Short and sweet: Sagittarius (December) Rooster/Chicken/Hen (1981)

that's expected of them .. it is an eye catching site (it has sonic). well guess i better keep my words sensored for now. till i see someone use a nasty word i like using
<LOL..... you just don't get it, do you? He's referring to himself being born in a metal rooster year. >
actually i thought he said he was a steel fish co...well never mind.
sorry dude ..um tobbi i think was your name, oh and your avatar looked cool....think he got that? where'd he disappear to anyway

oh yes my brain sank low yeah i know it ain't a bad word. i just thought he used it for another meaning to be funny... which was funny to me
anyway thanks for the explination and hope things go well with your boyfriend <pats back> just give it time to break the walls of misunderstanding
In terms of Jyotish, my rashi (sign) is Kumbha (Aquarius) using the sidereal zodiac and Meena (Pisces) using the tropical zodiac.
Sorry for double-posting, but I thought I'd just post about how I think that the Zodiac is reflected in our hands and that our five fingers on both of our hands correspond to the pancha-bhutas (a Sanskrit term referring to the five material elements). First of all, I am not certain of the exact order of which finger corresponds to which particular element, but I think that the order may be something like this:
One's thumb represents akash (ether), the subtlest of all the five material elements. Each of the remaining four materially grosser elements emerge from akash, just as one's remaining four fingers, in a sense, spring outward from one's thumb. The thumb holds objects, just as akash holds all of the other four materially grosser elements in their proper places. This corresponds to the predominantly vital nature of akash.
The next element in descending order of subtlety is vayu (air), which corresponds to the index finger. It is the finger most commonly used to point to different directions, which also reflects the often highly mobile nature of vayu. One's thoughts also move in many different directions, which corresponds to what is universally considered to be the predominantly mental/intellectual nature of air.
The next element which is less subtle (and hence more gross) is agni (fire), which corresponds to the middle finger. Fire is universally recognised as being symbolic of passion, lust and anger. So it is no surprise to me that in most modern Western cultures, the middle finger, when pointed upwards and at someone, is considered to be vulgar and an expression of one's anger or frustration. Fire has a predominantly willful nature.
The next progressively grosser element is ap (water), which corresponds to the ring finger. The ring finger, as its name implies, is the finger on which wedding rings are traditionally worn. So it corresponds to the nature of water, which is universally considered to be a predominantly emotional nature.
The final material element (which is the grossest of the material elements) is prithvi (earth), which corresponds to the little finger. The earth element corresponds to matter in its solid state. Also, the earth element has a predominantly physical/practical nature. Solid matter of obvious shape and size which we can physically touch, hear, see, smell and taste, constitutes less than 1/10th of the ACTUAL Reality which surrounds us. Hence, the little finger (as its name implies) has the shortest length out of each of our five fingers.
I firmly believe that God has designed this and countless other universes in a SUPREMELY intelligent manner. God has manifested this universe in such a way that everything very nicely corresponds to everything else in an INFINITE web of interconnectedness. If there were 6 elements, I think we'd probably have 6 fingers to reflect this truth. 
I am certain that each of our five fingers correspond to the five material elements of this universe.
Furthermore, I am also certain that the Zodiac is reflected in our hands. Our thumbs have two parts, a top half and a bottom half. The top half, astrologically, represents the male gender/positive energy whilst the bottom half, astrologically, represents the female gender/negative energy.
Each of our other four fingers have three parts which represent the three modes - cardinal (rajas guna in Sanskrit), fixed (tamas guna in Sanskrit) and mutable (sattva guna in Sanskrit). The top parts of our other four fingers represent the cardinal mode, the middle parts of our other four fingers represent the fixed mode and the bottom parts of our other four fingers represent the mutable mode. Four fingers multiplied by three modes equals the twelve signs of the Zodiac.
We were made in the image of the cosmos and our bodies reflect this through their designs.
The human/humanoid form is a perfect representation of the cosmos. Like I've already stated, the five fingers on both of our hands correspond to the five elements - the thumb corresponds to ether, the index finger to air, the middle finger to fire, the ring finger to water and the little finger to earth. Similarly, the five toes on both of our feet also correspond to the five elements - the big toe to ether, the toe after that to air, the toe after that to fire, the toe after that to water and the toe after that to earth. Our head represents intelligence, which I believe to be the source of mind. Our navel represents the singularity from which our universe arose. Our heart represents emotion. The left half of our body is predominantly feminine and our left eye represents the Universal Moon. The right half of our body is predominantly masculine and our right eye represents the Universal Sun. Each of our five senses originates from one of the five elements - hearing from ether, touching (movement) from air, seeing from fire, tasting from water and smelling from earth (in descending order of subtlety). Each of our five senses corresponds to a particular organ - our ears for hearing, our skin for touching, our eyes for seeing, our tongue for tasting and our nose for smelling. Each of these five organs represent the duality of our universe - we have two ears, two halves of our bodies (ie. a left half and a right half), two eyes, two halves of our tongues (ie. a left half and a right half) and two nostrils which form our noses. Your aura signifies that you literally extend beyond your own body. Furthermore, the word 'space' is considered interchangeable with the word 'ether', though I think that ether is INFINITELY more than what most orthodox scientists believe space to be (a vacuum). Therefore, I think:
Universal mind = outer space
Human mind = inner space
Also, the lines on the palm of your left hand represent what you were born as whilst the lines on the palm of your right hand represent what you will eventually become throughout your life. In other words, the lines on the palm of your left hand represent your potential from when you were born whilst the lines on the palm of your right hand represent the direction you are heading towards with that potential.
I think that the lines on the soles of our feet as well as the lines on our foreheads also have their own stories to tell.
You are a miniature version of the forces, functions and features of the universe in which you exist. The whole corresponds to the parts of the whole. The lower corresponds to the higher. The micro corresponds to the macro. Everything fits together very nicely!
