The poll says it all!

What's the difference between a 'sun sign' and a 'star sign' and how do you find out what your Chinese thingy is?

Oops, I meant to hit Dragon and it says that I am a horse!

Taurus and Ox...

Try www.chinesezodiac.com but I'm not sure about the difference between sun and star.

It has let me cast my vote twice!!! It isn't supposed to do that.

gawd knows...
and what difference does it make anyway?

What makes you think it should make a difference?

And what do you think it should make a difference to?

What's this? Confucius Mark II?

Last week The Goons, this week Confucius!

I voted - Cancer and Rooster - but also wanted to say I really don't care as I am not a believer . . .!

I'm a libran monkey.



I don't know whether it means anything at all to be honest - however one of my colleagues is also a libran monkey and we are VERY similar in personality, taste, sense of humour etc.

I'm a Leo Dragon which seems to be the most popular combination so far. I'm a bit sceptical about all that stuff, but as astrologers say that Leo is the best star sign, and the Chinese believe that the Dragon is very auspicious, it must all be true

Capricorn and Tiger here.
Apparently Capricorns are all things depressing and dull - hardworking, conscientious, self-disciplined etc, and I have always hated my star sign and wished it was more interesting - what happened to caring, passionate, enthusiastic as core qualities?! Unfortunately, I seem to be growing into it, and I'm not sure whether that makes things better or worse!
That said, I'm not entirely convinced that a bunch of whirling rocks millions of miles away know something about my day that I don't...

Somebody asked earlier about the difference between sun signs and star signs and I didn't know how to answer but I think your post illustrates what I *think* is the difference, although I may be wrong. I think the term "sun signs" may be used in the context of personality traits, whereas "star signs" are used in the context of horoscopes. I'm open-minded on the matter of personality traits, but I think horoscopes are not worth the paper they're written on!

Aries/Dog - not too many of those unless it means that Aries Dogs are the type to disregard this sort of poll.

Why does it matter whether or not you believe? You are not being committed to Hellfire or Perdition for it, although the types who don't go in for anything at all will have no worries anyway.

I'm also a liberal Anglo-Catholic if that makes any difference. I will therefore butt you, then bite you and go to Communion afterwards.

Aquarius Rat, which seems to be a rather peculiar combination. Explains a lot though

I'm on the cusp between Leo and Capricorn..........

.......... I'm a Leprecaun

Taurus with moon sign Cancer (I always think the latter is much more me) and Chinese Tiger

I'm a Leo and a Rat.

Never heard of a moon sign - how do you find out which is yours?

You have to know what time and where you were born - some people also call this ascendant or rising sign, although it is not quite correct (the ascendant and the moon sign are often, but not always the same).

You can calculate them here: http://lunarium.co.uk/sign.php or here:

I was quite interested in astrology as a young girl, but that eased off a bit (if you are looking for a way to interpret the planets in your different houses in or against your favour, you'll almost certainly find one )

Thanks for that, Mezzo - you learn something new every day! I appear to have moon sign Pisces, and some of the characteristics it says I should have are certainly present - others, however...

I hate my sun sign and Chinese animal signs - I'm a sheep in one and a ram in the other I'd rather be Leo or something and a Dragon, perhaps... Instead I'm a woolly animal...

Cant believe I am the first Piscean. No idea what Chinese Year I was born in. Anyone have a list? What's 1947?
When I was little my Nan always said I was a little monkey ! Then in my twenties, maybe I was a Ram, but now I expect Im a Dragon !

Take a look at http://lunarium.co.uk/sign.php as posted above.

Ah thanks, when I put my birth time in 3.43 am 13/03/47 it comes up with 'Moon in Sagittarius'. Does that mean my moon sign is Sagittarius ??

Yes, i think so. According to Wikipedia you are a bit of a Boar Chinese year-wise!

My moon sign is Libra, the same as my sun sign. Does that mean I'm balanced??

I'll settle for that then , Pisces, Sagittarius and Boar ! (or Bore )

Actually, if you read the Wikipedia blurb those born in the year of the Pig sound very nice indeed! I'm sure they aren't in the least boring.

Sagittarius/Ox.

No idea what this means!...

It means you're my ox-friend
