Talk:Astrological sign

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

OK I've made a start. There's plenty more could be said about each sign. Have fun! Shantavira 12:33, 12 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Someone should show how the months maps to the star signs... Paul 19:06, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How about the dates

I looked this up to find out what sign I am

If you wanted to find out what sign you were, go look over at astrology and look at the constellations. Those list the dates. -- Remixed 12:33, 20 Feb 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Astrological sign for graphic designers

Some artists/designers referring to this Wikipedia page might still find it difficult to reproduce the astrological signs in high-resolution details. I've found an easy way. Would someone familiar with this article please include this info in the article (in the proper place and style)?

To produce the 12 signs in a Windows environment, input "^_`abcdefghi" and apply the "Wingdings" font. Voila, you can enlarge to say 50 point font, and output your graphic file to EPS/PNG/JPG format for very fine graphic details.

I will try to demonstrate it here:

^_`abcdefghi.

is from an IP having made lots of addition of these pages, most of which seem completely unnecesary, could someone with more insight into these areas please check if the website is notable? Lundse 15:33, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dates

I guess I am slightly confused. I was born on April 20th and I know I am a taurus. The dates on http://www.astrology.com/sundates.html confirm this. Why are the dates different on the wiki?

• The dates change from year to year. Also you are a cusp

[edit] Ophiuchus

What is meant by "long things"?

[edit] Question

Are there any attempts to prove those thing whit science? Amin I guess that signs are so obviously true that everybody accept them but also consider them an old joke. I think there is much true in those signs and some researches should be taken place. As a starting idea I will say that the peoples character is determined by genes and the combination of genes is randomly made at conception. Could those stars not influence the arrangement of those genes - with all the gravitation and other fields? Another thing is that the signs are not always determined at conception but at birth moment witch could be more or less than 9 months . I can not see any link between character -> genes -> and moment of birth. I can see a link between character -> genes -> and moment of conception.

I am waiting to see your responses here. And excuse my English and feel free to correct it if you like. toader_alexandru@yahoo.com

[edit] Encyclopedic Voice

This article is INCREDIBLY hard to read, especially toward the bottom. Sentences like "So we might have..." need to GO. It doesn't make sense to me, otherwise I'd change it, so could someone with some knowledge please fix this? Heatherfire 19:38, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article Cleanup Co-Ordination Point

Has anyone else pressed the "back" button to return to the Astrological sign page and was routed to a page calling you a B**** and that you will burn and die- written over and over all the way down the page? Quite creepy! Wiki, you should look into this as well as who wrote the article.

It was vandalism and was removed. No worries :) Sam 22:30, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Taurus is missing

Taurus is missing from "Characteristics". Could someone please correct this? I'm not an expert in astrology. Just noticed a missing one.
