My son, the Aries or Taurus?

I don't believe in astrology (my zodiac sign-Sagittarius-is a fire sign and I am definitely not, however in one more day I would have been a Capricorn, an earth sign. What I was "supposed" to be-Pisces-a water sign, is the one that fits me)--but I was still curious as to what my son is. Here's what I found:

L.J. is an Aries, a fire sign--but right on the border of a Taurus, an earth sign (which would also have been his sign if he'd been born on time). The Aries symbol is the ram. Here is the personality description of the Aries:

Adventurous and energetic
Pioneering and courageous
Enthusiastic and confident
Dynamic and quick-witted

Selfish and quick-tempered
Impulsive and impatient
Foolhardy and daredevil

Joe (my husband) and I had to laugh, as that sounds like L.J. right now. . .but doesn't it describe all three month olds? Haha.

It's the first sign of the zodiac, so an Aries symoblizes "new beginnings." They are "full of energy." They make the best leaders, and are rarely followers. They are likely to be good athletes, doctors, explorers, soldiers, sailors and airmen, in industry and politics.

Their ruling planet is Mars.
The color is Red.
The stone is Diamond, which is considered the best of all stones.

What I found the most interesting, though, is that they are most compatible with THE SAGITARRIUS (me)! As well as Leo (my stepmom), Gemini and Aquarius (one of Joe's sisters). Maybe that's why my baby & I get along so well :-) Their least compatible sign is THE CANCER (my husband and my brother)! Also, Taurus, Virgo (my mother-in-law), Scorpio (my dad, stepdad, and one of Joe's sisters), Capricorn (what Joe's dad was), and Pisces. The neutral sign is another Aries or a Libra (my mom).

But I guess I can't brag about my sign since I just said that I don't even consider myself a Sagittarius. Soooo, if I go by my due date of a Pisces, then I have to go with L.J.'s due date of a Taurus:

Patient and reliable
Warmhearted and loving
Persistent and determined
Placid and security loving

Jealous and possessive
Resentful and inflexible
Self-indulgent and greedy

That actually really describes him, too!

The Taurus symbol is the bull. They are good law-abiding citizens. They are slow to anger, disliking quarreling and avoiding ill-feeling. If they are provoked, however, they can explode into violent outbursts of ferocious anger in which they seem to lose all self-control. Equally unexpected are their occasional sallies into humor and exhibitions of fun.

They can flourish in many different trades and professions: banking, architecture, building, almost any form of bureaucracy, auctioneering, farming, medicine, chemistry, managers, insurance, education, music and art. They make an ideal trustee or guardian, and can attain eminence as a chef. Some Taureans are gifted enough in singing to become opera stars or to excel in more popular types of music.

No other sign in the zodiac is closer to earth then Taurus. The main objective is primarily to maintain stability and physical concerns. Their inner spiritual sense longs for earthly harmony and wholesomeness.

This is the part that gave me chills: Hunky Taurus is physically strong and solidly built. Many favor weight lifting or other body-building routines to keep in shape and enjoy sports requiring strength and endurance. Health issues are often focused on problems to do with the throat and neck. (For those who read my second blogpost, you know that my son has a brachial cleft fistula in his neck.)

The last one is definitely true--L.J. appears to LOVE the outdoors (totally opposite of me, as when I spent a couple of hours outside a week-and-a-half ago I got so bit up by bugs it reminded me why I don't make it a habit to be outside.:p)

Their ruling planet is Venus.
The color is Pink.
The stone is Emerald.

This time the most compatible is Cancer (my husband)--as well as the Pisces, Capricorn (Joe's dad), and Virgo (Joe's mom). The least compatible are Gemini, Leo (my stepmom), Libra (my mom), Aquarius (one of Joe's sisters), Aries. . .and Sagittarius (me)! (The neutral sign is another Taurus or a Scorpio (my stepdad, dad, and one of Joe's sisters.)

HOWEVER, since my son as a Taurus is the same thing as me as a Pisces--I STILL get to be most compatible :-)
-------------------------------------------------

P.S. Here is a description of my sign (I'll start with Pisces since it is more accurate for me.)

PISCES:
Imaginative and sensitive
Compassionate and kind
Selfless and unworldly
Intuitive and sympathetic

Escapist and idealistic
Secretive and vague
Weak-willed and easily led

LIKES
Solitude to dream in
Mystery in all its guises
Anything discarded to stay discarded
The ridiculous
like to get 'lost'

DISLIKES
the obvious
being criticized
feeling all at sea about something
know-it-alls
pedantry

Ruling planet is Neptune
Symbol is Fish
Color is Soft Seagreen
Stone is Moonstone

SAGITARRIUS:
Optimistic and freedom-loving
Jovial and good-humored
Honest and straightforward
Intellectual and philosophical

Blindly optimistic and careless
Irresponsible and superficial
Tactless and restless

LIKES
Traveling
getting to the heart of the matter
Freedom
Laws and meanings
the general 'feel' of things

DISLIKES
Off the wall theories
being tied down domestically
Being constrained
cooling your heels
bothered with details

Planet is Jupiter
Symbol is Centaur
Color is Rich Purple
Stone is Topaz

Joe's due date was a Gemini, an air sign, and he actually fits that more than the Cancer, a water sign, so then he'd be under both of L.J.'s leasts. (Gemini: Adaptable and versatile, Communicative and witty, Intellectual and eloquent, Youthful and lively, Nervous and tense, Superficial and inconsistent, Cunning and inquisitive--Compared to Cancer: Emotional and loving, Intuitive and imaginative, Shrewd and cautious, Protective and sympathetic, Changeable and moody, Overemotional and touchy, Clinging and unable to let go). . .and my mother-in-law fits her due date of a Libra, an air sign, better than her birthdate of a Virgo, an earth sign. . .so I guess my opening paragraph today should have said "I believe in astrology for our DUE DATES, not our birthdates!"
