alanajoliWhile I am not a big believer in astrology, I will often use astrological signs as information for my characters (or will choose a birthday for a character, when relevant, by which sign most fits their personality). This came to me as an e-mail forward recently (I've deleted the bad-luck clause that comes from not forwarding this on to all of your nearest and dearest). Despite its forward type flaws, I liked the descriptions, and thought I'd share them, in case anyone else uses personality-types-by-astrology in their writing.
If anyone has one of these based on the Chinese Zodiac as well, I'd love to see it. ;)
