While filling out a userbox, I had to look up the heck a "tropical" sign was versus a "sidereal" sign. I already knew I was a Sagittarius by the zodiac, and also an Ox, but I'd never heard of this tropical business!

When I reached the sidereal page, I became utterly fascinated, because I discovered that not only am I considered a sidereal Scorpio, I actually fit under the controversial 13th sign, Serpentarius! I loved that, because I love being "different".

Fascination ensued...

And here I am, marking down all of my signs!
