I'm bored... I have had this untested theory for a while: That more than the fair share of architects are born between the dates of oct 24th and nov 22nd... Am I just an ego-manical normal person? or is there some truth to this? It seemed to me (and some other scorpios) that while in school more of my colleages and professors were scorpio than any other one sign. Is it some kind of weird coincidence/ everything looks like a nail scenario or are scorpios more attracted to architecture than other signs, and if so, why?

Guiggster: you're wrong. It is Taurus, the astrological opposite of Scorpio, which is the most superior sign, as evidenced by the many important Taureans who have gone before us - all of whom are my stellar compatriots.
If you care to debate this, let me know - I'll see if I can squeeze it in.

mostly leos in my class from what I can remember about 4 of us born within a week?!!! and my old boss was a leo as well so she was.
I would say from my experience that both Taureans and Scorpios are definately the most superior people of our world.
But there is a difference between the two that I think gives the Taurean a bit of an edge.
Scorpios tend to be a bit crazy crazy and unstable. They are also more fun to hang out with.
