I wasn't saying or acquising any aspect of the question being dodged.I was saying that I am new to Astrology in general, and I didn't take into account those factors that he mentioned when I initially asked the question.
Most horoscopes in papers, and things along the line take purely the signs into account "if you are sign a you will be compatibile with sign b".Which is what led my question to be like that as I know nothing about astrology.As most of those same places would say my birthday while being a Virgo is on the cusp.
Sorry if I took your post the wrong way I do take your point about those horoscope columns, they have become the public face of Astrology - or at least to those taking a passing interest but they have the effect of grossly over-simplifying, and therefore misleading people. I went for a fair chunk of my life believing that I was a Sun sign Scorpio, from those columns, till I actually took up Astrology and found that I was actually a Sun sign Libra (for the reasons that Dave cited)
