Reading over this thread, I realize that the astrological placements that I had previously posted for Mudcat's birthday are wrong.
I don't know what year/month/day I was looking up.
For anyone who's interested, here are the astrological placements for October 1, 1996 [Source- Neil F. Michelsen "The American Ephemeris for the 20th Century, revised 5th edition"]

Sun-Libra 8
Moon-Taurus 27 {as of 0 hr}
Mercury-Virgo 20
Venus-Leo 26
Mars-Leo 13
Jupiter-9 Capricorn
Saturn-Aries 3 retrograde
Uranus-Aquarius 0 retrograde
Neptune-Capricorn 24 retrograde
Pluto-Sagittarius 1
North Node-7 Taurus retrograde

Happy Birthday, Mudcat!
