I remember when I was pregnant with my first son and my Dr. looked at the calendar to see what my due date would be, May 9th he said. Then he paused and said......"hmmm. That's Taurus. Do you get a long with Taurus"? ... it cracked me up.... yes, Dr., I plan on getting along beautifully with my new little Taurus Bull!! So, do you check the paper for your horoscope? Do you think it's true or fictitious? Do you have anything with your sign on it? And by the way, What IS your Sign? From the Capricorn Cashon.
