i have become fascinated by birth stones, flowers, the Chinese zodiac, star signs and their meanings. it surprises me how well they can describe a person. like me for instance.
im a Wood element Pig of the Chinese Zodiac, a Virgo, my birth stone is Sapphire, and my birth flowers are Morning glory, Forget-me-nots, and Aster.

Zodiac: Wood Pigs are the most helpful and are always seeking ways to work with others. In fact, they’ll help others even when others say help isn’t necessary. Big hearts and strong minds characterize Wood Pigs.

Star sign: Many Virgos can be found working in the "service to others" industries, ranging from welfare work, doctors, school-teachers through to practising natural forms of healing like massage, herbal remedies etc. One of the most magical characteristics of the Virgo is no matter how many times life or romance turns sour on them, they still manage to maintain faith in others, refusing to become cynical. There is ingenuity around this sign, a kind-heartedness, which unfortunately is sometimes played upon by others for their advantage. Virgos can often become victims of relationship power-games, where they are mistreated.Creative and sensitive, Virgos are delicate people who, like rare and special orchids, require individual treatment to fully blossom into their true unique beauty. Shy, they are happy to allow others to take centre-stage and often generate their time and energy into making those they love happy or successful. Virgos are givers and when the chips are down and you need a friend, the one available during those testing times when you need advice or companionship the most, is likely to be a Virgo. Virgos understand human frailties better than most, because they are so deep and reflective themselves. With a Virgo in your life you have someone who understands and cares and any romance or friendship based upon these qualities is certain to be mutually rewarding.

Birth stone: sapphire- hope, chastity.

Flowers: patience, daintiness, remembrance, love, magic, and easily contented.

....yep! sounds like me alright! especially the hole Pig and Virgo thing, thats all totally true! woot for Virgo Pigs! ^^ (btw, i copied and pasted most of this.^^')
