My online research has shown that some constellations found in the modern Western zodiac date back 2000-4000 years whereas the personal horoscope, or using the stars to determine personality traits and a person's future, did not develop till medieval times, much after the development of the zodiac constellations.

But does anyone know exactly when each of the groups of stars associated with the signs of the modern zodiac were identified and how that sits in relation to the chronological development of ideas about Zodiac signs and personality?

In other words, what came first: (a) people notice that lots of people born in November act like a scorpion and therefore that pattern is found in the sky and called Scorpio or (b) the Scorpio zodiac constellation is developed for other reasons and then people born in November are said to have scorpion-like qualities? (Scorpio's just an example here.) I believe it's (b) but my husband won't believe it can't be (a) until he see exact dates.

I am under 18 and I was under 18 when I got charged with 5th degree assault and minor consumption, these are in my juvenile record. I am currently on probation until 8 more days when I am finally finished. These did not go into my real adult record. Do they still prevent me from being a policemen? I will not be charged with these again and I will not get in trouble with the law again because I have learned my lesson.

Some who believe in predestion reason besically as follows: God is omniscient.He knows everything,even what is going to happen in future.He knows what each person is going to do with his life, and he already knows exact moment and manner of each person's death.So according to their thinking, when the time comes for an individual to make a decision,his choice cannot be other than the way God has forseen and foreordained it.
