Signs of the Zodiac question

[sp54]

I am hoping some one with a bit of knowledge on star signs/astrology may be able to help me :rolleyes:

In July it is minisp's [my daughter] birthday and it will be her 21st :D

Being a special birthday I want to give her a special present that she can always keep and that is personal to her :)

I have recently started making Pandora style bracelets [not 'real' Pandora I can't afford that :lol::rolleyes:] and am making myself some, but cheaper everyday versions of the real thing ;)

I am making myself one 'nice' one in sterling silver etc. for special occasions, and minisp has said she would like a nice one for her 21st birthday.

No problem - so today I have been out and bought the silver base beacelet and some nice beads and a couple of silver charms that are personal to her and over the next few months I want to buy a couple of charms each month to add to it.

Now,I want to get her a zodiac sign charm. This is where I have the problem :rolleyes:

We have never known for sure what sign of the zodiac she is :lol: and I thought it was high time we did - and I want to get her the correct zodiac charm :)

She was born on 23rd July and everywhere I look the zodiac sign varies between Cancer [last day of] and the first day of Leo :unsure: Others just say that 23rd July is 'on the cusp' of the two and does not specify which birth sign she is :huh:

Is anyone clued up on astrology that could let me know? :lol::rolleyes:

If it makes a difference she was born at 9.20pm :) [and I was the best dressed woman on the labour ward as I went into labour on my way to a really good party :lol::hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi:;)]

Any help much appreciated :thumbs:

[Bonkers Mad!!!]

which of the 2 signs does she most resemble?

Cancer

The fourth sign of the zodiac is Cancer and it is represented by the crab. Appropriately enough, Cancers can seem easygoing, sympathetic, and patient one minute, then cranky and irritable the next. Because of this ability to make a sudden change, Cancer is the least predictable of all signs. They are ruled by the moon and have water as their element, so their mood swings can be compared to the turbulence of the shifting tides. If they feel they need to, they will retreat to their own emotional shell to keep others out. However, Cancers can be very sympathetic to others and readily show their affection. Cancers are also very emotional and sensitive, which may be why they are so empathetic towards others.
Cancers need a lot of attention due to their unpredictable character, but if you give them the support they need, they will offer you their undying loyalty and love. Once you have won their trust, nothing anyone else can say will sway them against you.

Sidesteppers

Just like a crab, Cancers are often known for sidestepping. They rarely take the direct approach to what they want, but eventually they get what they are after. Cancers are better judged by what they do and not what they say. When asked to help, their first response might be no, but in the end, they always come through. They can often be hard on the outside, but soft on the inside. The hard shell they show to the world is only there to protect themselves from being hurt.


Cancer is also the sign of home and family life. They seek out relationships and are happiest when with those they love because it gives them a sense of security.

Psychic

Cancers are very intuitive, almost to the point of being psychic. They are able to spot even the smallest change in another's behavior, so it is hard to deceive them. They are very insightful and most have a photographic memory. The combination of these two skills plus their excellent observation skills makes them very aware of the ulterior motives of others.


Weaknesses

Cancers are often seen as moody, cranky, and unpredictable. Because of their sensitivity, they can be seen as overemotional and touchy, almost to the point of being clingy. They tend to be possessive of those they have allowed in their world. Cancers can shut people out if they feel uncomfortable and "going into their shell" is seen as being introverted.


Parts of the Body Ruled by Cancer

The breasts and stomach - Because they love to overeat, Cancers may have to fight the battle of the bulge their entire lives. They are also prone to digestion problems that may be caused by stress or tension.



Leo

Leo is the fifth sign of the zodiac. The sign of Leo is the lion and you will find Leos very dominant and powerful. Like the king of the beasts, they have a majestic way about themselves. They like to be in command of their own kingdom, be it big or small. But, Leos are also loving, often being referred to by many astrologers as "eternal children" because Leos love to live in the moment and are quick to give affection.

Born Leaders

Because they like to dominant, you can find Leos at the center of any party, taking command. Self-confident, Leos are like Aries in that they are born leaders. Leos are truly in their element when allowed to take command of a situation. Like the mighty lion, Leos make good leaders because they like to think big and act big - often in terms that would scare others. But the Leos rarely have problems with their daring moves because of their courageous attitudes.

Leos are idealistic in their views as they are highly intelligent and are often philosophical. They often cling to what more liberal thinkers might see as outdated thinking because of their devotion. Leos also have no problem in cutting to the chase of the matter - a great quality for a leader, but rarely found. They strive under dire conditions, determined to make the best of things. Because of all of these traits, their subordinates are usually quite loyal. Their ability to give love is as great as their need to be the center of attention.


Born Entertainers

Leos also have a flair for the dramatics, so they are also born entertainers. Their natural creativeness and magnetism attract others to them and they truly enjoy being the focal point of any situation.

Another trait Leos have that makes them good entertainers is that they will not settle for second best. That headstrongness that it takes to tenaciously pursue a career in the arts is a trait of which most Leos have. Image is very important to Leos as well, which fits right into the lifestyle of an entertainer. Actors are often accused of having big egos and a Leo's huge ego craves both attention and adoration.

Weaknesses

Of course, with all the greatness of each sign, there must also be weaknesses and the Leo is no exception. At times, their dominance and confidence can be seen more as arrogance and conceit. They may use deceit to appear as something they are not if they feel they are not held in high enough regard.

The importance of image can be seen as self-centeredness, their love and demand for power and recognition can often be overbearing, and a Leo's love for excitement and doing things in a really big manner can lead them to loathe the ordinariness of every day life.

Parts of the Body Ruled By Leos

Back, spine, and the heart - Leos often suffer from back pain and spine ailments. These can be caused by exertion or emotional stress.
