The Astrology of Severus Snape 

Interesting article - and funny too. I'm not a great believer in that stuff (OMG, how bad I would have been in Sibyl Trelawney's class !!!) but I wondered about his astrology in Chinese astrology - oh, he's a 'Pig' ! (no offense intended, but that's what his birth date gives us as a sign). Hum, I can see that some of us here may give a whole another interpretation to that 'Pig' stuff... on the NC-17 side, for our beloved Potions Master. He he he ! (I'm among those. LOL) Another name is 'Boar' for that sign.

I checked a website on the internet about Chinese astrology and this is what they say about the Pig (or Boar) :

"People born in the Year of the Pig are chivalrous and gallant. Whatever they do, they do with all their strength. For Boar Year people, there is no left or right and there is no retreat. They have tremendous fortitude and great honesty. They don't make many friends but they make them for life, and anyone having a Boar Year friend is fortunate for they are extremely loyal. They don't talk much but have a great thirst for knowledge. They study a great deal and are generally well informed. Boar people are quick tempered, yet they hate arguments and quarreling. They are kind to their loved ones. No matter how bad problems seem to be, Boar people try to work them out, honestly if sometimes impulsively."

Ain't that like our dear Severus ? Any further thought about this there ?

Last funny detail : people born under the sign of Pig are NOT compatible with people born under the sign of SNAKE.

The Potions Master should have thought about it twice : Severus, do not approach that snake Nagini ! Argh !

I love that blog post; I have a deep love of astrology.

In Celtic Tree Astrology, he's a Birch.

Birch - The Achiever
December 24 – January 20
"If you were born under the energy of the Birch you can be highly driven, and often motivate others they become easily caught in your zeal, drive and ambition. You are always reaching for more, seeking better horizons and obtaining higher aspirations. The Druids attributed this to your time of birth, which is a time of year shrouded by darkness, so consequently you are always stretching out to find the light. Birch signs (just like the tree) are tolerant, tough, and resilient. You are cool-headed and are natural-born rulers, often taking command when a situation calls for leadership. When in touch with your softer side, you also bring beauty in otherwise barren spaces, brightening up a room with you guile, and charming crowds with you quick wit. Celtic tree astrology Birch signs are compatible with Vine signs and Willow signs."
