I'm a Scorpio which probably explains half of the avatars I use. Scorpio is somewhat a War sign.

I don't remember the specifics, because it was so long ago, but basically the whole "old sign/new sign" thing doesn't apply to Western astrology. IIRC, it was because Western astrology is all based on the sun, and not the position of the stars.

Ah, nevermind, that was easy to find: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/ophiu ... ac-change/

Weird, you don't really seem like an Aquarius to me. Maybe it's because I don't talk to you often enough :oops:

I am a Virgo and I do not believe in astrology.

Some Virgo and autistic traits do overlap, more than other signs.

I read the astrology page for entertainment purposes once and awhile. The "advice" tends not to relate to my present situation more often than it relates to what is going on in my life at the moment.

I'm a Libra, but I don't think astrology has anything to do with autism.

I don't really believe in astrology as I don't think it has any scientific basis, but it's fun.

My sun sign under tropical astrology is Aquarius, the Water Bearer. I like my sign: it's associated with eccentricity and innovation (both being traits I highly cherish in others), and it's spawned some great intellects, inventors and creators who were all just a little off-beat in their own way... like Mozart, Darwin, Edison, Dickens, Carroll, Lincoln, FDR. :)

Under sidereal astrology, I am Capricorn.

Just for clarification, i meant the western tropical star signs! But of course you can post your sidereal one or the chinese one too.
