I'm a Feces.  It's a small constellation located under Taurus.  We enjoy bullshitting.

I could see testing the hypothesis that there are seasonal effects on people (being born when it's cold and days are short, versus when the pollen and humidity is thick), but the names of imaginary shapes formed by stars wouldn't have much to do with it.  And the effect would be reversed, calendar-wise, in the S hemisphere.

One of my children is a Gemini and fits the description disturbingly well.  I have rarely had a phone conversation with him shorter than two hours.

Not well-versed in the lore, but aren't Virgos supposed to be pretty logical?  Anyway, yes, rubbish.
