I have identified with my birth sign from an early age. Perhaps because of the year in which I was born, or because of my environment, but I was always told that I was the way that I am because of my zodiac sign. I certainly exhibit the sterotypical Gemini traits (a social chameleon, intensely interested in many activities and subjects that I can perform compentently or converse about intelligently- yet cannot immerse myself in enough to become an expert; bored by the ordinary, highly literate, and either the life of the party or the first one to leave.) My life has been consistently ruled by my dual nature! For example, I dislike judgemental people, yet have a career as a booking agent for a modeling and talent agency where I have to judge individuals daily based on the most superficial aspects of their person...

How much credence can you really put into your zodiac sign? As a Wiccan, I value my birth sign and use my knowledge of it to better understand myself and as a personal guide. Educating yourself is the key, along with keeping an open mind and being completely honest in evaluating yourself. As a Gemini, I freely admit to the darker aspects of my personality- I can be superficial, overly nervous, and indecisive. Who wants to face their personal flaws and allow that they are true? What Scorpio wants to confess their tendency to be jealous, compulsive, and secretive?

The answer is balance. Find out in depth about your astrological sign, the dark and the light. That is the path to being complete and able to understand yourself entirely. Some may scoff at this notion, after all, the 60's are over and this is the age of the Wii and global positioning systems. However, with the general state of the world we now live in, now is the perfect time to investigate the self instead of focusing soley on the external.
