The Astrological Sign is based on what constellation the Sun was "in" when a person was born.
On my birthdate, the Sun was in a constellation that does not appear in the common zodiac charts. Because of precession, the modern ecliptic is a bit different than that which would have been observed by ancient astrologers.
So which would you prefer to ask about: the outdated signs that astrologers still hold on to? Or the actual, observable track of the Sun through the constellations for any given date?
You see, I was born on the cusp of Scorpio and Sagittarius, according to Astrology charts, and depending on whose chart you look at, I could be listed as either one. By Astronomy charts, however, the Sun was in the constellation Ophiucus on the day I was born. If this does have some bearing on our personal characteristics, then it would seem to me we would need to take precession into account, and assign astrological signs accordingly.
Would I have been more or less likely to want to dive if the Sun had actually been in Scorpius (the actual constellation name) or Sagittarius when I was born? I think the empirical evidence to support a hypothesis either way would be rather sparse.

What the hell is CSMA?
PADI for both my OW and AOW. I don't think any other agencies are on Oahu, I think there may be a NAUI shop or an SSI shop but they aren't advertised much.
Peace,
