    Red face The zodiacal sign of the Egyptian Dancers (QUESTION)

    Hello everybody,

    I want to know the birthday of the Egyptian Dancers, like Souheir Zaki, Nagwa Fouad, Lucy, Tahia Carioca, Samia, Nadia Gamal, Azza Sharif, etc...

    I just know the birthday of Naima Akef...she is Libra =)))

    Note that is not the year of birth. My interest is to know the zodiacal sign of these dancers. So i need the day and the month...(I know too Fifi Abdo is Taurus, but i dont have the date of her birthday).

    Thank you! Cheerss

    Re: The zodiacal sign of the Egyptian Dancers (QUESTION)

    I believe most astrologers consider analysis meaningless without the birth time and location to calculate the ascendant properly. In other words, they're saying that just going on someone's birthday only gives you a 1 out of 12 chance of generating the correct horoscope for that person.

    At any rate, some of the birthdays are online, but there is no guarantee of accuracy. You might find more than one birthday ascribed to the same person. Probably your best bet is using the dancers' names in Arabic to find their pages at ar.wikipedia or arz.wikipedia, and running the results through a translator program. (Somewhere I posted a table of the most famous dancers' names in Arabic, but I can't find that old thread this morning.) Some of the dancers will have Wikipedia pages in other languages, and you can jump over to the Arabic side where there may be more information by clicking on العربية (ar) or مصرى (arz for Egyptian Arabic) from the left cross-reference language menu, too.

    Thank you! I know that astrology is complicated. It was only a curiosity I had.

    I had received this advice about the wikipedia. In fact, the dates vary. And I opted for the information found in wikipedia Arabic and Egyptian.

    Thank you anyway. My hope was that someone had more information from other sources, which might confirm the wikipedia.

    Al Ahram's obituary for Tahia Carioca said February 22. Al-Ahram Weekly | Culture Page | Dancing to the rhythm of time

    Internet Movie Database seems to agree: Taheya Cariocca - IMDb

    I looked at her BBC obituary and her New York Times obituary to see what they said, but neither one offered month/day.
