The Astrological Signs of Cities and Countries

Most people know their star sign, and possibly those of a few friends. Some people even know their pets' star sign (my kittens are a Capricorn and an Aquarius....just saying). However do you know the star sign of your city, or your country? And does that affect how a place's personality or culture develops. Identifying a city's star sign has been practiced since ancient Greek times. It is based on the date the city or country officially established by rule of law or was "born". Sometimes this occurs by a proclamation of Statesmen and women and prominent business leaders; sometimes it is the result of a binding resolution voted on by the citizens. It may seem a little crazy but have a look at the list and if you have a basic knowledge of each star signs characteristics then it all starts to correspond.

What's the advantage of knowing the star sign of a country or city? Just like you may be interested to know the sign of a friend or potential partner to get some clues on the personality, you can do the same for a city. You can determine whether your star sign is compatible with the city's sign and whether you will be happy travelling or living there.
