Getting to know me:

Hair: light blonde (and natural).

Eyes: blue.

Height: 175cm

Weight: proportional

Star-Sign: Sun Sign-Leo, Rising Sign-Aquarius, Moon Sign-I'm not sure.

Personality Traits: Loyal, proud, loving, fiery, warm, leads from the heart, generous; concerned for others, interested in people and their issues, believes in the wider human fellowship of mankind, can rarely err on the side of lacking sentimental vision; can be extravagant and slightly eccentric at times.

Yes, maybe lots of those are true. That's what astrologers have to say about me. I suspect that my moon sign is cancer for a couple of prominent reasons, I can be emotional at times which is something cancer is supposed to do to people it influences. BUT I'm not moody, which cancer is good for.
