I have to say that through out my life so far, I didn't feel any luck/difference because of my zodiac. Instead, I ended up with lots of stress from the strong compititions I had since my childhood.

I've had Chinese gals refuse to date me because "My sign was not compatible with their sign". I hate evolution.
