Most Capricorns don't think they are doing their absolute best, usually arguing with success. They always know they can do one better in all they do.
I am a Capricorn myself, so I'm pleased to offer this one first. And all the stuff I posted about Capricorns is certainly true about myself often times. The actual name of the constellation is Capricornus. Capricorn is Latin for either "horned male goat" or "goat horn."

--- The NEW Zodiac? (added: January 14, 2011) ---
According to the fact that Earth's alignment has changed, so have the dates of the zodiac. Here are the new dates:New Zodiac Dates...
Capricorn: Jan. 21 to Feb. 16
Aquarius: Feb. 17 to Mar. 11
Pisces: Mar. 12 to April 18
Aries: Apr. 19 to May 13
Taurus: May 14 to June 21
Gemini: June 22 to July 20
Cancer: July 20 to Aug. 10
Leo: Aug. 11 to Sep. 16
Virgo: Sep. 17 to Oct. 30
Libra: Oct. 31 to Nov. 23
Scorpio: Nov. 24 to Dec. 17
Sagittarius: Dec. 17 to Jan. 20
Ophiuchus: November 30 to December 17
I guess I'm a Sagittarian now. :( I had to change up the dates because you can't be two signs of the zodiac at the same time. I also had to look up the new date for the Ophiuchus sign. Some sites I read had certain end days as the start of a new one. In other words, the last day for Sagittarians is January 20... which is also the first day for the •new• Capricorn date with this new date alignment.
What do you make of all of this?
I'm still not going to adjust the names of famous zodiac people just because of this.
Now you know a few famous people born within those times of the zodiac. Again, I'm sorry that I couldn't post any pictures of each zodiac sign in space, which was the primary intent of this blog post. I still hope you enjoyed reading this as well as learning aobut the different characteristics and such of each zodiac sign. I personally don't believe in horoscopes. Crap happens each day.
Most of the information about the characteristics of each zodiac sign are based on stuff I have read on Zodiac Signs. If you haven't read earlier, I am trying to get rid of as many of my incomplete 2010 blog posts to get ready for 2011, and this is one of them. Hope you like this one!
