Do a bit of research on your Zodiac Sign. What are the associated characteristics of people with your sign and how do you exhibit those characteristics? https://www.horoscope.com/zodiac-signs

I was born
on a cold December night
in Oklahoma.

A Capricorn,
whose fate
the stars do not dictate.

If I read my horoscope,
it is either
for a laugh,
or to goose my muse.

Detail-oriented bordering on obsessive compulsive, especially when it comes to rhythm and rhyme.
Intelligent: No argument or smart ass remark here.
Hardworking: I think this should be changed to hard-wording, because I love to discover new word, similes, and metaphors.

Element: Earth - Of course, I was born on Earth, if I were born on Mars I would expect my element to be Mars.
Polarity: Negative - I suppose this could explain the depression I sometimes descend into. Under normal conditions (whatever normal conditions are) I'm a half-way positive person; especially when the sun is shining or there is a full moon.
Quality: Cardinal - I hope this does not refer to my singing voice. I'm tone deaf, and can't carry a tune in a silk handkerchief.
Ruling Planet: Saturn - Sounds like a nice place to visit, but I'm not sure I would want to live there.
Ruling House: Tenth - I haven't lived in ten houses yet. In Blackwell, Oklahoma, I lived in two. Since moving to Las Vegas I've lived in five houses.
Spirit Color: Dark blue - Traditionally blue is the color of a healthy soul. I don't know how dark a blue my soul is, at present. I suspect that the darker the blue, the healthier the soul. All though the opposite could be just as true.
Lucky Gem: lapis lazuli - I like the crystal blue color of the stone. This stone is supposed to help with good judgement and wisdom, so it is a stone I would wear or carry with me just to see if it does help in these areas.
Flower: Pansy - I think pansies are pretty flowers. However, I prefer either roses or hyacinth.
Love Match: Virgo - I don't think I've ever dated a Virgo. In fact, I've never heard the pickup line "What's your sign?"
