    My opinion:
    WHOA! Verily attractive!

    Oh, about my question on 'pseudo-scorpio', I just found out that even now Libra exists in July, just like Scorpio since they're close. Now here's the question....
    How was the birth-Zodiac invented? A Scorpion person would be born somewhere around October and November, right? So what's the explanation on the 'shift'?

    Sorry, did not see that question.

    It is due to precession of the equinoxes. Same idea as Age of Aquarius. Astrology ignores this. Another reason why it 'should' not work.

    Have you sorted the wallpaper?

    You can use any of these nebulae.

    About the explanation, thanks. So next time I come across "July-Scorpio" I'll have to call it Scorpio, rite?
    And having those beautiful nebulae as a desktop background is sweet.

    With Nebulas and telescopes, you almost don't need painters.

    I think the zodiac sign assigned to you is the constellation the sun is in when you are born. So supposing you where born on 15 Dec, the sun would be in the constellation Saggitarius.
