What's Your Sign?

I'm not big on astrology.

I read my horoscope every once in a while, but it's definitely not a daily occurence.

And I know what my sign is, and a few others, but I can't tell you your sign just by hearing your birthday.

Granny B, on the other hand, LOVES it!

And consequently she knows a lot about it. You can tell her a birthday and she will tell you the person's sign and if they are compatible with you. And why.

A couple of weeks ago we were playing this little game when she told me that Gemini, which is my sign, is an "air" sign.

I wanted to see if she was full of shit so I rubbed a little Google on it.

Turns out she was right.

And the first paragraph of the description that I found still makes me laugh:

Gemini is the third sign of the zodiac, and those born under this sign will be quick to tell you all about it. That's because they love to talk! It's not just idle chatter with these folks, either. The driving force behind a Gemini's conversation is their mind. The Gemini-born are intellectually inclined, forever probing people and places in search of information. The more information a Gemini collects, the better. Sharing that information later on with those they love is also a lot of fun, for Geminis are supremely interested in developing their relationships. Dalliances with these folks are always enjoyable, since Geminis are bright, quick-witted and the proverbial life of the party. Even though their intellectual minds can rationalize forever and a day, Geminis also have a surplus of imagination waiting to be tapped. Can a Gemini be boring? Never!
