Happy Birthday River (yesterday. probably)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RIVER SONG!

(Spoilers for everything River, of course. Also just a gorgeous, gorgeous post...)

Once more, I marvel at how complete a picture we have of River's life. We see her from cradle to death - and beyond. Of course there are untold stories we haven't seen, but still... We have a richness.

Well, River probably figures every day is her birthday, but Feb 3 works as well as anything else, so happy birthday, River! : D

It's fascinating, if Feb. 3 is River's birthday, that would make her an Aquarius. So I looked up the personality description of Aquarius and this is what it said:

You were fortunate enough to be born under the humanitarian zodiac sign of Aquarius. You are therefore ruled by electric and progressive Uranus making you forward thinking and self-directed. You’re a born revolutionary so no one can tell you how to live your life. Your clear-cut approach makes it perfectly clear just how differently you wish to experience life.

You just don’t want to be like others and take pride in the fact that you’re so unique. Even if you’re occasionally criticized for your cheeky attitude, you’d far prefer to be self-sufficient rather than being a sheep in society who follows everyone else’s lead.

You are a zesty individual, having tremendous amounts of energy. You are determined and forceful in how you deal with people. You want to express your ground-breaking spirit in everything you do but unfortunately you won’t always able to break free of the limits that are imposed upon you. Some Aquarians learn through their family life that before you can be the master of your own destiny, you have to serve. In some extreme cases Aquarians are controlled and dominated by others throughout the formative period of their lives which is why it’s so difficult for them to submit to others.

If you’re not able to live your life on your own terms, you’ll dream and aspire to a future time when you can fulfill your destiny to the fullest in exactly the way you want. You have very inspirational views of the world and even if your opinions are too different, you’ll always be respected for speaking your mind honestly.


Now, is that River or what?

Butting in to have a squeefest because I'm an Aquarius too =P Don't mind me. *goes back into the corner*

But that does sound terribly like River! My first move was to go reread the personality traits, too, and was astonished…

It fits River very well, yes. Which makes me (almost) willing to overlook the fact that she was born on Demons Run, far, far from Earth and the 'influence' of random planets that happen to orbit a small star named Sol 3...

(Have you seen this? My views on astrology are basically the same as David Tennant's. <3)

It's glorious indeed. Our River... ♥

Utter tosh. She's got to be a Taurus -- that stubbornness!

(AKA horoscopes are narrow and vague enough while people are complex enough that of course it'll fit. Especially for a character like River Song.)

That's fun. I'm not sure it completely works, but hey, every day is a good day to celebrate River!

Indeed. And all the gifs are gorgeous.
