Jim son of Jim (formerly PhotoJim) (jim_formerly_photojim) | 5294 comments I think I have everybody up to now.

As for the rules, don't forget that there will be a couple of small changes this month. So when you come back to find out about pairings, READ THE RULES. This is true even if you think you already know the rules. Further note: New rules are not yet posted. I don't want to give anything away until it is time to pick.

*Don't worry, it's not a murder club where the last one alive keeps all the money or anything like that. Although now that I think about it...

Rachel-RN (rachelgoodbyeborders) | 202 comments I'm in. April 9th- Aries


Jim son of Jim (formerly PhotoJim) (jim_formerly_photojim) | 5294 comments And Rachel completes the set with our first Aries.

So does anyone actually believe in astrology?


message 56: by KimKirt (new)

KimKirt | 1638 comments Sure? Why not. I can always find something believable in my horoscope. I like the Chinese Zodiac as well, I'm a Dragon. Always liked reading off the placemats at Chinese restaurants. I am actually a "Wood Dragon" (yeah, it gets more indepth if you want to go there).

So according to the Chinese Zodiac this is me: Wood Dragons also are willing to entertain the opinions of others. Their artistic side is strong, and Wood Dragons enjoy being creative and innovative. They get along with others, but will always be the dominating force.

Teamed with being a Capricorn: The great strengths of the Capricorn-born are their willingness to work hard and their determination to succeed. Their ambition is boundless, yet they are cautious, responsible and always play fair. That's why their successes are all the more sweet.

I'm pretty damn loveable, huh?

D.G. | 4477 comments I'm a Dragon too Kim! But I'm a Fire Dragon. Cannot be a good mix with me being a Scorpio. :p

I do. Not to the extent where everything about it must be true but a lot of things astrology talks about rings true for me & other people I know. Like that Aquarians are known as the "loopy free-spirited" signs of the Zodiac. I can spot another Aquarian pretty easily, based on their behavior.

As for the Chinese Zodiac, I'm a Fire Snake or Fire Horse. I'm not sure which. My birthday is January 24th 1990, so it says Snake, but the year for that is 1989. But if I put in Feb 24th 1990, it says Horse. *shrugs*

i believe in it a little as i tend to find traits personality in people of the same sign. which makes me wonder why there are only two sags in this list!


message 62: by D.G. (new)

D.G. | 4477 comments LL - The Chinese New Year can begin anytime between late January and mid-February so the signs follow what they consider a year, not the Gregorian Calendar (which is our system.) In your case, your sign is the Snake (from 02/06/1989 to 01/26/1990.)


Sallie(GeorgiaGirl) (shuga) | 1190 comments D.G I was wondering the same thing..she always has the next's month challenge list up by the 20th of the month & it's already the 24th...tomorrow is library day & I was so hoping the challenge would be listed now :( I too hope that things are ok with her

Sorry about the semi-disappearance, but real life had been crazy. Thanks for the concern.

If anybody is interested, October categories are up.

Thank you so very much for the info, D.G.! So now I know for sure what my Chinese Zodiac sign is. I'm not too crazy about snakes but at least it's not the horse.

Jim son of Jim (formerly PhotoJim) (jim_formerly_photojim) | 5294 comments It's getting closer.

I've been told that I am an earth cock. I don't think the Chinese Zodiac sounds very complimentary.
