If people care, they can display it on their own in their bio or their journal.

Exactly.

It would probably annoy people who dislike astrology.

I personally would enjoy it, though, as long as it were optional.

Thumbs down for this one - there's also numerology, sun signs, and all other kinds of stuff - where would the line be drawn?

[lied_ohne_worte]

Yup. Also - which system of signs should we be using? For example, Chinese people wouldn't care much for the European system.

And I'd rather see the effort put toward something else, considering we can do this ourselves.

Plus some people don't want others to know their birth date (even vaguely)...

+1 with everyone agreeing it should go in your bio - LJ profiles already have an overwhelming amount of non-bio information.

+10 agreeing with lied_ohne_worte over catering to one specific system of signs that will offend those left out, and will cause butthurt over "you may be doing it ALMOST my way but UR DOIN IT RONG with this niggling detail."

I like your usericon, though! ;)
