[edit] Recent Contributions

These recent contributions are obviously well meaning, but are poorly written and with a very slight tinge of bias. I would usually do some SPAG editing, but my scepticism would mean I may cut more than required. The content could be retained under some sort of disclaimer, but I feel that a more neutral editor need consider this. I will keep an eye on these pages, and will help with spelling/grammer once a course of action is decided. LessHeard vanU 21:00, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

 Good Idea --70.67.6.8 22:20, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

LOL, Of course it might help if you started with your own "spelling/grammer" the correct word is GRAMMAR.

It's easy to talk about someone when you're anon, eh? Anyway, if you don't have anything productive to say... そせい! 10:34, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notable persons

I haven't heard barely any of these "famous" people before. WHO ARE THEY! They are like 200 years old. Im taking them off and putting down real people.

Just because you've never heard of them is no reason to remove them. They were still famous -- don't screw around with articles just because you're ignorant. --Feidian 20:15, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Is that list, and those in the other zodiac articles, really necessary? I understand those people who born under those signs, but it doesn't fit well, it's not really encyclopedic, and Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Perhaps those persons' articles could be given categories instead of a list? DanPMK 15:10, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notable persons (expanded list)

I wonder if it would be reasonable to create a second page for a more expanded list of Notable Persons? -FJ | hello 09-25-2006

In case you're wondering what's happened to the Notable persons section, it has been deleted in favor of the page Category:Subjects of the Sign of Scorpio. If you want to add a notable person go there. --Carmelita 21:08, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pluto?

Now that Pluto is a "dwarf planet," will Scorpio go back to being ruled by Mars, or will it continue to be ruled by Pluto? --Feidian 07:24, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Shouldn't astrologers be able to tell us? Personally, I think we should be ruled by Xena - but not UB411Y33_4.11 (who needs a reggae tinged UK band as its own planet?)LessHeard vanU 19:34, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree - rulership by Xena is ok with this scorpio.

I'm not so sure that things will change just because Pluto is now reclassified. After all, the Sun and Moon are classified as "planets" in astrological terms, and obviously those terms are completely wrong, scientifically. It's the astral bodies' influences that matter, not what people are calling them nowadays. I could be wrong, but that's just my two cents. Astroangie 03:33, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

This all depends if you use astrology, where it wouldn't change, or astronomy, where they actually use all 13 constellations the planets pass through. DanPMK 00:21, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

That is a huge debate, and I've read so many different (and equally convincing) arguments.

Were the astrological calculations based on the assumption that it was one large body, and hence inaccurate and should be corrected? Or were they amazingly accurate (like the Dogon with Sirius B) and we should not adjust astrology at all? Does anyone have a reliable resource for the origin of the original Mars->Pluto changeover in Scorpio rulership?

[edit] question

why do some places, like the external sites, have scorpio (October 24 to November 22) and wikipedia (oct23 - nov22)? What's the deal?

-Well, they consider it a cusp date, along with 12 other dates, because sometimes people may add in an additional day because it's never exactly sure. However, most sources generally consider starting with the earlier dates (Oct.23rd- Nov.21) as opposed to (Oct.24- Nov.22) for example.

What's a "cusp date"? I still don't understand, but I'll take your word for it. Maybe this bit of information should be listed in the page or in the astrology page? 04:57, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

A cusp date is when you're born in between a Zodiac.

Oct. 18 to Oct. 28 is the Libra/Scorpio cusp
Nov. 17 to Nov. 27 is the Scorpio/Sagittarius cusp

DanPMK 14:58, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

In response to the unqualified statement above about using Oct.23rd to Nov.21st, that actually only applies to a limited range of North American astrologers, and even the more reliable (reknowned) American ones still use an end date of Nov.22nd (check the links from the existing External Links on the wikipedia page, or Linda Goodman's books, or Astro Dienst [[1]] for an example.

[edit] Physical Description?

Other sign's pages have a physical description of people under this sign, but this page doesn't! Could someone add it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.68.233.150 (talk) 01:19, 14 December 2006 (UTC).
