I enjoy Dark Lord News quite a bit, as there are often decent Riddlefics listed (though sometimes there are some I skim and huff in frustration at - Minerva is often so badly characterized in the pairing fic I've seen). Anyway, I saw this - The Astrological Puzzle of Tom Riddle.

Interesting. Even though the author set the time of birth in the afternoon, and he was clearly born at night, since the orphanage matron says so, it's probably not too far off (looks to tigerlilyaj). Most interesting is the Gemini rising aspect, since I originally set Tom's bday in my first Tom/Minerva fic as June 6. I changed it to January 6 by Milliways time, so ha! I was close.

While this is all quite cool and well thought out, P's bday is Jan. 1, and he is not an evil overlord (okay, he is when it comes to sports on tv). Hee hee hee.

In other actual fandom news, I bought a wand tonight while with genarti and shati at the wonderful toy/costume/magic shop called Wizard's Chest (where we tried on wigs and dresses and hats and whee!) It is the Malfoy variation, and it matches my tattoo's wand. Although as I looked at the Hermione and Ron versions all lined up in the display, I could only think, "Dear me, how phallic these are..."

*giggles and sings* The wizard's staff has a knob on the end!

Hoo boy. Stupid wands. :P

I'm working on it. I do concur with the argument that a night birth would give him a Sag Moon, which seems wrong (or at least, far less correct than a Scorp Moon), but...well, let me have a look.

Mixed Bag

There is a lot of good stuff, and I'd stand by the general conclusions. (And how I love that Ralph F has the same potent Sun-Moon combo.) But I will say that this analysis looks only for confirmatory evidence (especially in deciding which aspects are strong or tight), is way harsh in describing Capricorn, and generally too deterministic. Also, why start with the asteroids by looking at Chiron, but ignore the rest, namely a startling Ceres (the mama asteroid) conjunct the Moon?
And the stuff about "studies of serial killers" and their charts? I gotta call "Bullsh*t!" if only b/c the only ones anyone could study are the ones who get caught. ;-P
However, there is a ton of great stuff to take away from this, namely that too-perfect Sun-Moon combo, Moon trine Pluto, Jupiter in the 10th, Sun trine Mars, and Sun in the 8th.
It was enjoyable to read. Thanks for leading me there!
