Hey guys!

http://uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Birthsigns#Constellations

According to the UESP lore pages, I was born under the Warrior Stone, under the charge of the Lady, meaning that I am kind and tolerant (which is actually similar to the description of Virgos IRL). I'm also 6'2" and fairly athletic, so I suppose you could say that that was the Warrior providing a tall frame for some adventuring to pack on some muscle. I would say that if I had been a character in Skyrim, it would be quite possible that I would've been a noble knight or warrior, or maybe a fair and just town guard. Although I'd say that due to my scholarly pursuits (just finished a Law degree), I'd probably make a go of it as a travelling Paladin or freelance adventurer.

Also, I was born on the summoning day of Nocturnal, in Daggerfall. Maybe I have some shadowy abilities I'm yet to uncover.......

So how do you compare; what's your Birthsign? Is your birthday on a Tamrielic holiday or Daedra summoning day? Maybe you were born under the sign of the Shadow, or maybe the Steed?

Do you even think that your Tamrielic Birthsign reflects on your IRL personality, perhaps?

(ps, I don't generally go in for the astronomy stuff, but I thought it was interesting :))

Apparently I'm the tower, which means I am good at thievery and finding money, which is wrong since the second line in the US army JROTC cadet creed states "I do not lie, cheat, or steal and will always be accountable for my actions and deeds." And I also don't like to steal :D
 

Seanu Reaves

The Shogun of Gaming
Last Seed. No holiday

So I am the Warrior. Which since I am a Leo most of the traits would likely align.

EDIT: And here I was hoping for something epic and indepth. nope really cut and dry lol

Well, my Birthsign is the Apprentice. Apparently I have a special affinity to magic, but am also vulnerable to it.
I wonder when I'll find out if that's true... :rolleyes:

Ohhh....I like this thread. :D

I was born under the sign of The Lover, one of the charges of The Thief. Such people are said to be passionate (yes) and graceful (maybe...I'm a musician and I bellydance, so apparently I have some kind of grace. When I'm not performing, though, I'm the klutziest person you'll ever meet :eek: Go figure.)

I was born in Sun's Dawn, and it seems my birthday is the same day as the Feast of the Dead in Windhelm, during which the names of the Five Hundred Companions of Ysgramor are recited.

Awesome :)

Mistress of Shadows
I was born under the sign of The Lord one of the charges of The Warrior- those born under this sign are stronger and healthier than those born under other signs.
First seed, Tirdas on Hermaeus Moras' Summoning Day :eek:

This was fun :)

15 th Frostfall. Under the sign of the Tower one of the charges of the thief.

Nothing like me really, although I once accidentally stole a packet of chewing gum. I dropped my wallet and, without thinking, put the gum in my pocket while I picked it back up. Felt pretty bad once I realised later that day.

Didn't get caught though... Sneak increased to 25.

And there was that time I payed for a DVD with a £20 note and got £22 change. So maybe its a better fit than I thought...

Irl; born in June 11 (1996), if I remember correctly my mom said it was a Tuesday.
TES; born in Mid Year 11 of the Fourth Era, on a Thursday/Turdas. No holiday for my birthday though.

My sign is the Steed, one of the Warrior's charges and to be honest; yeah, I can relate to it. I've been actively riding for 11 years until the last good stable in my region closed down, therefore I love horses and I acknowledge a steeds' power and loyality on the battlefield at least as much as that of the soldiers'.
"Impatient and always hurrying from one place to the other", well, only about a month ago I did my very first 'journey' on my own (much to the annoyance of my mother who fears for my well-being every time I'm not around her it seems :rolleyes:), so that fits too. And I've grown a bit more impatient as well; if something gets started, I want it done. Gets me mad every time someone pushes things aside and then just acts all like "Too bad, there's nothing we could have done".

I'm starting to like fictional astrology more than the "real" one. :D
 

Lunaruse

The Milkdrinking Elf
I was born on the day of the Witches Festival and the summoning day for Mephala.

The Tower is one of the Thief's Charges and its Season is Frostfall. Those born under the sign of the Tower have a knack for finding gold and can open locks of all kinds.

Ya, no. I am terrible at opening locks. Hell, I didn't even know how to open a legitimate lock until last week out of necessity. I went through three years of highschool without even knowing how to open a lock (I am really easily confused with whats left and right so locks always frustrated me). I think its pretty ironic. I also have 0 stealth. I would be more suited to the mage or the lady.
 

Delusional

Connoisseur of Hallucinations
I was born on the 30th of Second Seed, which is Fishing Day - a big celebration for Bretons who live off the bounty of the Illiac Bay. Evidently this celebration is like a crazy big deal that they scare the fish away for weeks with all their noise. Whoa.

I was born under The Shadow, which means I am granted the ability to hide in the shadows. I suppose this could be true, but considering I have never been in a situation that required me to hide in the shadows, I have no way of knowing if I have a natural ability to hide.

Well, that sucked. Fishing Day and hiding in shadows. Woo.

Frostfall- Tower, no holiday.

Until I win the lottery, I disagree with this. :p
 

Cherry

Farfetch'd is judging you!
I was born in Morning Star (january), so I was born under the Ritual.

So, why can't I raise dead bodies around me? Think of all the dead insects, frogs etc. I could have following me :sadface:

No holiday or summoning day, but born under the charge of the Mage, under the sign of the Apprentice.

Mage: more magicka (real life negative) and talent for all kinds of spellcasting (real life negative), but are often arrogant (I really hope that one is a real life negative) and absent-minded (After the fortnight I've had I'll call that one a real life positive).

Apprentice: a special affinity for magick of all kinds, but are more vulnerable to magick as well (Both real life negative).

So basically, the complete lack of magic in the real world means that my fictional astrology is a complete bust. But if I were born in Skyrim, that is exactly the horoscope I'd have chosen! I'm a magic lover, which is kind of sad seeing as I live in a magicless world.

If you replaced magicka and spell casting with things like intelligence and scholarship it would match up to me pretty well. I've always worked hard to get excellent marks in whatever I study, and have a university degree and three TAFE certificates.

In the Hist we trust
I was born in Mid Year, on the day of the festival of Drigh R'Zimb, under the sign of the Steed

This one was born in Last Seed under the sign of the Warrior. Though it is true that she can have a short temper at times, Sahdira is not proud of this fact.

I find mine interesting. I am born on 21st of November so I am born on Suns Dusk so naturally my birth sign is a Atronach which means I have naturally gifted with deep or powerful magic but as a consequence my magical regeneration is negated, funny, I always depicted my canon Dovahkiin half breton so he has great magical potential however embraces his warrior side and I never thought of myself as the magic type but admittedly is freaking cool. I am born after the day of the warriors festival where blacksmiths sell their stuff for half price but this is the last festival of the month also is the summoning day Meherunes Dagon so being born after this must mean I am inherently as a warrior. The final thing is that my birthday is the zodiac sign of being exactly born on November 21st which means I'm under the Zodiac sign and apparently here's my strengths and weakness's (The scorpion sign)
- Loyal
- Passionate
- Resourceful
- Observant
- Dynamic

Weaknesses
- Jealous
- Obsessive
- Suspicious
- Manipulative
- Unyielding
Weirdly I don't see any of these weakness, maybe if it was for power, to be stronger :rolleyes:, so combining all these quality's I would be a badass Knight that can use powerful magic to burn your face of!..... and kill your family!

Why change the past when you can own this day?
I was born on Malacath's summoning day and under the sign of the tower. One of the Tower's charges is the thief :D Those born under the sign of the tower can open locks easier and can find gold more often. Well, Hopefully that applies to me in real life :p
