I was born during "Pisces 3; March 11-18 (Week of Dancers & Dreamers)."

I couldn't dance if someone were shooting at my feet, lol.

I am sorry but I am really not into hocus pocus and Astrology. for me it is a lot of hogwash from the middle ages(not withstanding that actually the physical constellations moving since the first inception of the zodiac.)

Quote:

The oldest undisputed evidence of the use of astrology as an integrated system of knowledge is attributed to the records that emerge from the first dynasty of Mesopotamia (1950-1651 BC). This gives astrology a recognised 4,000 year history as a body of organised logic which can be seen to have been employed in the affairs of a civilised state.

Precession is fairly well dealt with in this article:

Here's an explanation why it's inappropriate to say, for example, "I was born during Aries" while the Sun was apparently somewhere around the border between Pisces and Aquarius. The constellations of the Zodiac virtually shift around during a cycle of 25,765 years, the Platonic or Great Year (precession of the equinoxes), because the rotation axis of Earth behaves the same way as a spinning top's, traces a cone.

Article: http://www.revealer.com/platonic.htm

Precession: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precession

Constellations also change apparently on a time scale of thousands of years, but a few thousand of years doesn't have much effect on their appearance, so even the Babylonians saw essentially the same constellations, the same pattern of stars that we see now, with only a little difference.

How could the position of the stars and such possibly affect your personality? It makes no sense.

If there is a relationship between date of birth and autism, it's flu or seasonal changes or maybe a tendency for aspie parents to have more sex at certain times of year. Not astrology.

december 3-10 "week of the originator."
what describes me better, is 1] being born before the december new moon, and 2]being born in the first 4 degrees of scorpio rising with neptune/mercury.

to be fair, i said that also [as a young man] until i tried it, via learning how to construct and interpret a natal chart [using ephemeris and table of houses as well as many books on aspects] for myself. it said things about my basic self and life situations that could not be logically explained away. you can knock it without trying it out for yourself, but what does that gain you?

So I guess I'm the cusp of sensitivity. How ironic.

Aquarius:

Friendly and humanitarian
Honest and loyal
Original and inventive
Independent and intellectual (not sure which of these traits are true

On the dark side....
(the ones that I know apply to me are bolded)
Intractable and contrary
Perverse and unpredictable
Unemotional and detached (when it comes to certain things and this is the cusp of sensitivity???)

Pisces

Imaginative and sensitive
Compassionate and kind
Selfless and unworldly
Intuitive and sympathetic (umm, can someone help me out here?)

On the dark side....

Escapist and idealistic
Secretive and vague
Weak-willed and easily led (these may apply to me at certain situations)

Capricorn 3: Week of Dominance. Already from the name, I can tell it doesn't suit me. And now to look up information....

DARN IT! SO ACCURATE!

Quote:

Born in the Week of Dominance, many Capricorn 3's do not need to rise to the top of their field, or even to lead as long as they can express their dominance within the day-to-day dynamic of their family, work or social group. With tremendous diligence or dedication, they are able to stick to the path they have set for themselves without being sidetracked. A strongly moral attitude, and a tendency to divide the world into good and evil, means that they need to learn not to judge themselves or others harshly or be extreme in their views. Self-confidence is extremely important to the psychic well-being of Capricorn 3's. A secret inferiority complex plagues them such that they need to prove to themselves that they are worthwhile. As long as they are not beset by worry or do not expect too much of themselves, they function well. Also, there is an undeniable streak of eccentricity in many Capricorn 3's - though they don't try to be outrageous, they often wind up like that anyway.

The happiest Capricorn 3's are those who can take people as they are. Capricorn 3's can be severe in dealing with those close to them, notably their mates and families. yet they can be counted on for honest opinions and good advice. Capricorn 3's value service highly, but their giving attitudes may make them too self-sacrificing. Years of devotion to a needy family member can drain them of their energy, deprive them of time for themselves, and also cause the buildup of tremendous frustrations.

Strengths for those born in The Week of Dominance: professional, surmounting, maintaining

Weaknesses for those born in The Week of Dominance: unheeding, outrageous, self-sacrificing

The bolded ones are the only ones I DISagree with. Man. It really got me. I need to paste that onto Wordpad or something for safekeeping.

I was born neither on a "cusp", nor in the fall or winter.
I's an April baby.
