The fault, dear Brutus, lies not in our stars but in ourselves.

learnedax, I apologize for doubting you.  There really is a zodiac sign called Ophiuchus (although if you'd called it Aesclepius, I probably would have doubted you less!)  No Cetus, however, unless you're going to include a number of additional constellations.

Sadly, I was not born under the sign of Ophiuchus.  (Not like fairestyarrow, that lucky girl...)  I find it quite funny, though, that solar creep since Babylonian times means that by astrological reckoning, I'm a Gemini, but by astronomical reckoning, I'm a Taurus.  That seems to throw a wrench in the concept of the predictive quality of one's sign.

EDIT:  To be fair, I must concede that there is one star that does influence my destiny.  Without the sun, I would be cold, hungry, and shortly thereafter, dead.
