Based on the 1930 IAU constellation boundaries, suggestions that there are "13 astrological signs" because "the Sun is in the sign of Ophiuchus" between November 30 and December 18 have been published since at least the 1970s.

Just kidding.

Supposedly that means I'm "smart, passionate, and dynamic". I don't know about that...

My "spirit color" is yellow and "my flower" is lavender. Yellow is actually my favorite color and my favorite scent is lavender, so maybe there is something to astrological signs.
