Based on your “retentive” answer, I’d say you probably are a fixed sign; but I wasn’t trying to guess your sign per se. I was wondering if your having retained your parents’ accent, even though you live far from where they grew up, was an indicator of a fixed sign. I don’t wish to pry, and you don’t have to say; but it would interest me to know if you fall into one of those four (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius), either Sun sign or Rising sign. That’s just a yes or no.
Although I do not believe in astrological signs, I know what believers believe about them, so I gave you a big hint.
