Curios

(Toddler is making zoom noises on the floor with an object)

Husband, from the other room: What is Toddler doing?

Me: Uh, currently, he's driving the letter N across the floor.

Husband: ...?

I'm doing a little light reading on astrology and long story short, all of the zodiac signs have a ruling planet or celestial body associated with them. Every time the planets are brought up, the first thing I think of are the Sailor Senshi because of how huge Sailor Moon was for me in my youth (and adulthood, let's be real), so I thought it would be amusing to see if Ms. Takeuchi had assigned the Senshi birthdays and what sign they all are.

And I'm a little shaken by the results.

Sailor Moon - June 30 - Cancer, ruled by the Moon

Sailor Chibi Moon - June 30 - Cancer, ruled by the Moon

Sailor Mercury - Sept 10 - Virgo, ruled by Mercury

Sailor Mars - April 17 - Aries, ruled by Mars

Sailor Jupiter - Dec 5 - Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter

Sailor Venus - Oct 22 - Libra, ruled by Venus

Sailor Neptune - March 6 - Pisces, ruled by Neptune

Sailor Uranus - Jan 27 - Aquarius, ruled by Uranus

Sailor Pluto - Oct 29 - Scorpio, ruled by Pluto

Sailor Saturn - Jan 6 - Capricorn, ruled by Saturn

Tuxedo Mask - Aug 3 - Leo, ruled by the Sun

She chose all of their (and Mamoru's!) birthdays so they deliberately lined up with the ruling planet (or the Sun, in Mamoru's case) of that star sign.
