My daily horoscope has been the same for the past 29 years:

The date of your birth and the alignment of the stars, moon, and planets has absolutely nothing to do with your personality, potential, or what numbers you should play in the lottery.

Coincidentally, I looked up my son's horoscope yesterday when someone asked what "sign" he falls under (Virgo). Guess what? Same horoscope as his dad! And our birthdays are six months apart!

Spooky.

I did some further research (Wikipedia) and found that the following traits those of Virgos. Then I compared those with my son's behavior these past eight weeks.

Responsible / reliable
I asked him to rake the leaves two weeks ago. He agreed by nodding his head, but the leaves are still there. I bet he doesn't even know what a rake is. Or a leaf, for that matter.

Shrewd / witty / clever
All his jokes are fart jokes. Oh, speaking of which...

Refined / polite / well mannered
Regardless of where we are and who is around, my son enjoys playing the trumpet, trombone, and tuba, all from his bum.

Hygienic / clean
He "uses the restroom" wherever he is, and it's never in a restroom!

Reserved / cool / undemonstrative
I made the mistake of removing his bottle when he reached the 1.25 gallon mark in a single feeding. I'm now wearing an eye patch, using a hearing aid, and my left arm is in a sling. You do the math.

However, I do have to agree with one part of the Wikipedia entry, by way of Astrology Online's Virgo entry. According to these very talented mystics, the list of a Virgo's dislikes is topped by hazards to health.

Amazing! Virgos dislike hazards to health. Everyone else, however, eats bees for breakfast.

But to mystics' credit, at the top of the dislikes list for me, a supposed Pisces, is the obvious.

Well done. Now where's my bowl of bees?
