Rising Sign is in 02 Degrees Scorpio
You tend to be quiet, reserved, secretive and, at times, quite difficult to understand. Others notice your deep emotions and feelings and wonder how to draw you out. Stubborn and tough, you fight for any position you believe in. You are very resourceful and formidable when you become angered or upset about something. You enjoy living life at the cutting edge -- for you life must be experienced intensely and totally. Quite courageous, you are willing to take calculated risks. Easily hurt by others, you often strike back with bitter sarcasm. Sensitive and curious, you are concerned with the deeper mysteries of human psychology. Once you have become interested in any subject, you pursue it with total fanaticism.

Sun is in 12 Degrees Leo.
More than a bit of a showoff, you love to be the center of attention! But others do not usually mind because they tend to enjoy your genuine warmth and affection. Very spirited and willful, proud and self-important at times, you demand your own way. You are quite honest, however, and the respect of others is very important to you. You never compromise yourself and you pursue your goals with persistence and dedication. Your regal presence and demeanor draws you to positions of leadership and authority. But beware of being overly hardheaded, domineering, ostentatious or patronizing or you will lose the goodwill and admiration that you enjoy. Very theatrical, you live life on a grand scale wherever and whenever possible. Your strength and energy vitalizes those who come in contact with you.

Moon is in 29 Degrees Taurus.
Warmth, comfort, security and familiar surroundings are necessary for you to feel at ease. Very loving and affectionate, you prefer a steady, patterned way of life. Patient, calm and steadfast, you are not easily upset. Others look to you for support. You tend to be a slow starter and a slow mover -- others may try to rush you, but they will never succeed. Emotionally, you are quite stubborn -- your attitudes about people and things were firmly set in your youth and will change very little as an adult. You are also very cautious and conservative about spending money. It is not that you are selfish, you just need to feel secure. Beware of a tendency to become overly complacent and too self-satisfied.

Mercury is in 01 Degrees Leo.
You are usually quite convinced that your own ideas are correct and you enjoy persuading others that they are. At times, you are very stubborn and proud of your beliefs and principles, and you get very defensive when they are challenged. You appreciate truth and honesty -- you practice it yourself and expect it in others. You have good talent for organizing, directing and planning. You delight in being asked for your advice and counsel.

1. I normally don't go after this kind of stuff, but the first part exposes how bullshit it all is

I don't see how those two parts go together, but people reading these things for themselves suck it right in because it's always complimentary.

2. I have heard that he has Mars opposite Uranus, meaning he has

An explosive temper when riled. (I have a similar trait, those two planets are square in my chart.)

3. That's not true.

Mars and Uranus are only about 30 degrees apart.

4. Good to know. I thought it strange that he hadn't busted a gut yet.

OF course, if you survive that vconfiguration into your fourth decade, you do learn how to hold things in.

5. Hehee I don't really buy into this stuff

But I'm Leo all signs - had a friend do this for me in highschool. And it pretty well describes my temperment. Throw enough BS at the wall and some of it will stick right?

The only explanation for these horoscopes having any basis in reality whatsoever would be to do a study on the personalities of children being effected by the mood of their parents during the first few months of life.

For example if people are happier in the summer they would likely interact more, and take babies around more to meet more people. Therefore if a greater level of positive interaction and social exposure was given to kids born in July in northern climates, then you might have a correlation. Then again there are so many variables at play here it's rediculous.

I fit my mold but I think it's generally crap ;) No offense.
