Question
Hello most sites point the date 21 of May to be Gemini but in my personal calculation it's actually Taurus because if 21 of May is Gemini then the days as a number are 32 and that is too much.If 21st of May is Taurus then the Taurus days are OK even if 21 of April is included they are 31 at max.Am I right?

Answer
George,

It depends on the year. Whenever you see a source that tells you the Sun changes signs every year on the same day, ignore it because it's a sure signal of a trivial, erroneous source.

Please see this blog post for more information:

"...11. Did you know that the Sun changes signs every year at different times and days, within a few days?

For example,

September 22, 1987 at 1 p.m. PDT the Sun was at 29 degrees, 16 minutes Virgo.

September 22, 1988 at 1 p.m. PDT the Sun was at 00 degrees, 01 minutes Libra.

September 22, 1989 at 1 p.m. PDT the Sun was at 29 degrees, 46 minutes Virgo.

Another example:

March 21, 1966 at 2 a.m. EDT, the Sun was at 00 degrees, 10 minutes Aries.

March 21, 1971 at 2 a.m. EDT, the Sun was at 29 degrees, 58 minutes Pisces.

March 21, 2009 at 2 a.m. EDT, the Sun was at 00 degrees, 45 minutes Aries.

Another example:

January 20, 1957 at 9 a.m. EST, the Sun was at 00 degrees, 16 minutes Aquarius.

January 20, 1971 at 9 a.m. EST, the Sun was at 29 degrees, 51 minutes Capricorn.

January 20, 1977 at 9 a.m. EST, the Sun was at 00 degrees, 24 minutes Aquarius.

It’s important to correctly calculate the details of your personal astrology. More information and clarity about “cusp” birthdays here: http://scottpetullo.com/blog/2010/05/born-cusp-freak-myth-reality/ "

Expertise

Please note: I DON'T DO PERSONAL READINGS HERE. That means if you ask for a free reading, your question will be rejected.

I'm happy to answer general astrology questions, such as identifying a particular Moon sign or Sun sign that happens to be on the cusp, or identifying an Ascendant (Rising sign) or a ruler (or rulers) of a particular house, etc.

As an example, you might ask, "My 7th house (house of partnerships, relationships, etc.) cusp sign is Virgo, so which planet rules the house considering I have no planets in that house?"

Or, you might ask, for instance, "My natal Sun is on the cusp, in which sign is it?"


Again, I WON'T DO PERSONAL READINGS HERE. Also, if your question relates to modern, psychological astrology, I won't answer it since the bulk of my predictive work is done using more ancient forms (I find them far more accurate). I won't answer questions about Chinese astrology or Vedic/Hindu astrology either.

My expertise involves the application of ancient forms of astrology (and numerology) to interpret personal fate, and assess personality and compatibility. http://www.scottpetullo.com http://www.mystictwins.com
