my birthday's coming up!!!


i am actually excited coming into my birth month! im thinking i should line up a month-long list of activities for myself.

my sun sign: pisces
my chinese zodiac: horse

voila! im a seahorse. and according to wiki weyes:

Seahorses are a genus (Hippocampus) of fish belonging to the family Syngnathidae, which also includes pipefish and leafy sea dragons. The seahorses are found in tropical and subtropical coastal and reef waters all over Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans.
Seahorses range in adult head-to-tail sizes from 13.3mm (0.52 inches) in the recently discovered Hippocampus denise[3] to 35cm (13.78 inches). Seahorses and pipefishes are notable for being the only species in which males become "pregnant".[4]


i love that last part! im giggling as i read 'the only species in which males become pregnant!" that will be the day!

reading the genus of the seahorse, hippocampus, reminded me of my neuropsych days:

The hippocampus is a part of the forebrain, located in the medial temporal lobe. It forms a part of the limbic system and plays a part in long term memory and spatial navigation. Humans and other mammals have two hippocampi, one in each side of the brain.
The name derives from its curved shape in coronal sections of the brain, which resembles a seahorse (Greek: hippos = horse, kampi = curve).
In Alzheimer's disease, the hippocampus is one of the first regions of the brain to suffer damage; memory problems and disorientation appear among the first symptoms. Damage to the hippocampus can also result from oxygen starvation (anoxia) and encephalitis.


as part of the limbic system, the hippocampus is within part of the emotion circuitry of the brain, specializing in memory! and im suddenly rationalizing: i am quite emotional. and memory retention has been my strong point.

so now i have this new-found affinity for seahorses as my true sign...

(babaw no? gabi na kasi)

you can get your moon sign from websites such as: http://goddess.astrology.com/moon/signs.html. i think experts say that your sun sign is what people see who you are (your image) and your moon sign is who you really are inside (your emotions, desire, etc).
