Why I list a fake birthday

[helen99]

I hope everyone had a happy Ruination Day yesterday. Yes, that's right, my actual birthday, as opposed to the one I list on LJ, is April 14, also known as Ruination Day. It's the day the Titanic sank, and the day Abraham Lincoln was shot. They had a special on the Bluegrass station yesterday in which they played nothing but songs that mentioned

Happy belated birthday! Glad to hear it was a good day.

Happy Birthday! It seems a day of many endings and beginnings and a beautiful new moon. May this year be awesome for you!

Thanks! I hope it's better than the year of my second Saturn Return. That almost killed me (for real - three major accidents, one of which was in an auto going 65 mph). Two of the accidents could have been fatal, but I was lucky. This year feels hopeful and good so far. Still a lot of chaos flying around, ... the upside of chaos being ferment and creation!

Is it bad of me that I don't acknowledge this day as your birthday but would rather wish you special blessings on Oct 31st instead?

Not at all.. I should calculate my new astrological chart. I know the sun sign will be Scorpio. Not sure about the rest of the planets yet. The birth time would be 9:00 am instead of my erstwhile 4:00 am, giving me a new rising sign as well. No more Pisces rising. How weird that will be.

Thank you!
