Don't worry! Everyone deserves a little self-praise now and then... just don't become a Leo and make it manditory! Thank you for checking those sites out! It really makes me feel that i'm helping someone. The astrologycom rising sign site i'm a little suspicious about (it's a scorpio thing...) and I use a different site for checkups... this is it below:
http://www.astro.com/horoscopes/ahor.asp these are free... as long as you don't go too over board. Then you will not be able to do it until you have logged completely off for the day.

Just to give you a heads up and to anyone who clicks on this link, that this is a little advanced, and you will need to find the latitude and longitude of your birth place and the time you were born... So, below is a site to help with the global location... (remember, "Big Brother" Cosmos is watching...) and you know what? the same site offers a locator too! Whoohoo to the Internet and Astrologers!

just to check in, if anyone and i mean anyone has anything to add to the aragorn essay, post it now or tomorrow. After that, you will need to look up both Virgo and Libra. I know, I know, even more homework but, the Barrow Wight was nice enough to provide us with the accurate birthdates. (KA to BW: Thanks Alot! It really helped! ) I still am not sure as to were to place Bilbo and Frodo, in either Virgo or Libra but, I know my excellent team will be able to help.


If you have any questions you can leave me a private message on my User CP...


Your friendly Guru,

Before i forget, i need a question asked ever so clearly...
"For the BW:
Also, just for reference questions, the info. I found on Aragorn's birthdate came from Appendix B. I wanted to ask the Barrow Wight if this is in Shire reconing or Steward's reconing? And would if it was in Steward's reconing would it be different? I know that Steward's reconing has close to about 365 days, which in times of peace, the Stewards tried to perfect. Until Mordor interupted their studies... "
I had this under alot of astrology stuff, and it might have been missed. It would really help. thank you all.

Okay, I'm reviveing this because Leny awhile back expressed concerns on it's development. Like I promised, since March is over ( Madness of March) I'm going to continue to develop this thread.

First of all, before we pick up where we left off, would everyone who was interested in this project or who participated in it would like to continue?
I will only go along if everyone else wants to.

Second, since Frodo and Bilbo were our last subject, who would like to write the essay on their relation to Virgo?


I hope this helps with everyone's questions and concerns. It would be wonderful if this could be up and running again.

I'm definitely interested in continuing.

So we have decided that Bilbo and Frodo were definitely Virgos? I'd like to put my two cents in at some point, but I probably won't have time to do so for a couple of days -- two essays tonight, seeing Spamalot tomorrow , excuses, excuses and all that.

It's good to see this being revived.

[THE Ka]

Good! I hope we just have more people interested...

Frodo and Bilbo being Virgos were ultimately decided when the BW was nice enough to give us their birth date according to our calendar. They fell snuggly into place of that of the Sun sign Virgo. I really thought they were Libras, from their personalities and that my dad is one... The last reason is because I had experience with them. One thing that my father is troubled with is indecision because he wants to weigh things out fairly, this relates to the pictural representation of Libra being a set of scales. Frodo and Bilbo have this same problem with the ring and other ideas.

Oh, no... I almost went on a rant. Good thing that was stopped.

If anyone's interested I know Bilbo's and Frodo's exact birthdates, which, of course, can be used to calculate their signs, etc. Hint: the One Ring was destroyed on March 13, 4502 BC (Gregorian proleptic calendar; the one we use backdated). And here are some very interesting facts; both Martin Freeman and Ian Holm not only have the same sign but decan as well. An incredible coincidence.

I'd be interested to know where that date comes from, at least! The Encyclopedia of Arda calendar puts the destruction of the Ring on the 17th March Gregorian, though you could probably account for the difference with some leap year differences.

But even allowing for that, your year intrigues me. In another thread I've calculated Tolkien's date for the end of the Third Age as either 4241 BC (post 2) or 7298 BC (post 16), depending on which of Tolkien's numbers you accept (the latter being more up-to-date). What did you derive the 4502 figure from?
