Sweat started to bead on my forehead. Symbol switching has always been sometime during the first week of August. The belief is that the extreme heat will deter anyone who is unsure. I am sure. My zodiac is wrong. I am not a cancer, I never talk to the other cancers. Having your symbol wrong can cause depression and lack of social dependence.

"First" a clean cut woman with long brown hair called out, she would be evaluating us today. I made sure to get in line early I was third out of seven. I was a Leo and I knew it. I love them, not because opposites attract but because I was the same.

"Second" the woman called out with authority.

You can only switch your symbol to the month before your birthday or after. The other reason it must be in August is because of school. The middle school schedule is determined by your symbol. For the first three years of primary school nothing and no one in restricted however forth and fifth grade classes are determined by you symbol nothing else. in those years it is expected you start to feel if your placement is wrong. Going into middle school it is of the upmost importance to have your symbol correct, your classes, teachers, materials, and lunch are all dependent on you, however, the hallways and locker placement are not. We learn to respect one another as well as tolerate them.

"Third" she called out and smiled as she saw my name identification card, because she knew I was switching I was either going to be a Leo or a Gemini.

She scanned my card.
