Did you know that there were once 13 astrological signs instead of an even dozen! It's all true! There was an extra signed called Ophiuchus which showed up right in the middle. I kind of wish we still had it, as it was represented by a serpent. Think of how amazing it would be to be born under this amazing sign!
Here you can compare the present astrological signs to the the past ones. Please note that I have used my vast psychic knowledge to determine the signs of some of these people. Don't worry, astrology has been a passion of mine, so it should be fairly accurate (we hope - lol!)
Now, let's find out about some of the Slug Club members and what they would be under this old 13 sign system!
Aries - Dirk Cresswell. Being the Head of the Goblin Liaison Office takes an incredibly forceful presence, as goblins can be a bit difficult to work with at times. You might to exert a bit of authority at times, something Aries is well noted for. Don't be afraid to exert your force when you have to, dear Aries!
Taurus - Melinda Bobbin. This sign generally is nice and friendly, but they do know how to stand up for themselves and refuse to give an inch when they know they're right. Some call it stubborn, but I don't judge!
Gemini - Cormac McLaggen. Some think of the Twins as two faced, which is something that might be said about poor Cormac. We know it's more something beyond your control and part of what makes up your incredible charm. Don't ever change for us!
Cancer - Ciceron Harkiss Cancer is known for their kindness to others, and Ciceron gave the fabled candy maker Ambrosius Flume his first job. You have great powers within you, little crab, and never be afraid to show your true, loving nature to the world!
Leo - We all can see that Harry and Ginny are both Leos, but did you know that Lucius Malfoy is one, too? I can see it. He's a very proud man who has accomplished many great things and has a lot of personality. Count yourself lucky if you share this sign, too!
Virgo - Hermione Granger. A surprisingly intelligent sign, they want to learn all they can about virtually everything. They also tend to be very organised and like to pick up after their sloppy friends (like Harry and Ron).
Ophiuchus - Blaise Zabini. A sign with a serpent representing it has to have someone awesome attached to it, and that person MUST be a Slytherin. I can't think of a better person for this honour than Blaise!
Libra - Barnabas Cuffe. Librans are famous for being very fair and open minded, and the editor of the Daily Prophet does a good job at this (well, better than the Quibbler does, anyway!). Libras make great friends, and if you were born under this sign that makes you one, too!
Scorpio - Eldred Worple. Scorpio has a secret (or perhaps not so secret!) love for the dark and forbidden, and he did write the book Blood Brothers: My Life Amongst the Vampires. Maybe you have a secret bestseller stuck in your brain, too, young scorpion!
Sagittarius - Tom Riddle. A Capricorn under the modern astrological chart, I can see him as a Sagittarius, too. They are known for making very bold moves and listen to know one but themselves. Are you a typical Sag, too, or do you consider yourself more a true goat?
Capricorn - Lily Evans. Very strong willed and determined to the very end, these are definitely Capricorn traits. They love their families and will protect them fiercely, and she proved this more than anyone else ever did. A great sign to be a member of.
Aquarius - Damocles Belby. Aquarius has always been a bit dreamy and mysterious. You would have to be to have invented the amazing Wolfsbane Potion. Unfortunately, his nephew Marcus had no such distinction and never really made the Slug Club, but I'm sure you can!
Pisces - Ambrosius Flume. Pisces is a rather indulgent, dreamy sign that loves good food and drink. It just makes sense that they would be the owner of an amazing shop like Honeydukes. Would you like to own a candy shop, too? If you can dream it, you can do it, dear little fishy!
See you next month,
