October - Pick It For Me Challenge!
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?
BTW...where is Yz? She hasn't posted in like a day! :p I hope she's fine and just busy withe her real life.

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 "
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!
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.)
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

It's getting closer. I've been told that I am an earth cock. I don't think the Chinese Zodiac sounds very complimentary.
OMG, Jim! LOLOLOL!I know I signed up already but I didn't get an event invite for this. Was one sent? (I always remember getting one for this and want to make sure I'm getting them.)

Well Jim, it all depends on exactly who's telling you that you're a cock and in what context :)

D.G., Sure. I was going to try to get Rossy to do it, but I've been pretty busy. So has she for that matter. I still have to have time to go back and add everyone's link in the name thread. I'll find time before Wed. night. Just not sure when.TWO MORE DAYS>>>>

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.
