Me and my son as explained by Astrology:

My Sun Sign is Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept 23). According to many sources, people born under this Sign are diligent and methodical. Modest and fussy, many Virgos gravitate to careers in libraries and museums. Since they are both organized and determined, Virgos are a natural choice to have on a long-term project.  ( Read more... )
