Yesterday was my birthday. Being born the 14th January makes me a Capricorn according to astrology.
Only there is a slight problem. As told in an article on Huffingtonpost an astronomer has kindly remarked that the assignment of signs with the calendar was made thousands of years ago. In the mean time the earth’s orbit has changed, so we should have completely new signs (and personalities?) today.
I guess astrology qualifies as a data and information quality trainwreck by forgetting one of the most common pitfalls in data quality: Things change.

Yes, the Data Quality horoscope says we should always remember that change is the only universal constant.
Happy Birthday, Henrik 🙂

. . . I am a Gemini now, which I think I like better than my original sign (Cancer) in part because I always envied the Geminian characteristic of versatility, and also because I always wanted a twin brother 🙂
Thanks a lot (reborn) Jim for commenting and providing bonus information on the slowly changing dimensions in personality reference data.
Henrik,
Happy Birthday.
My grandfather used to say that people have changed a lot from how it used to be when he was growing up. Now I understand why he was right in his observations…this darn changing of earth’s orbit is to be blamed. 🙂
I used to be Sagittarius and now I will be Ophiuchus (as per new type II dimension by Jim)….

Thanks Vish. Ophiuchus is an exciting new personality.
