I've somehow morphed into a Capricorn. I am not pleased with this turn of events, I liked being an Aquarius.

As westerners, we follow the tropical zodiac, and the article that was put out is talking about the sidereal zodiac. The tropical zodiac is fixed to the seasons and equinox's, and always has been, while the sidereal is focused on actual start configurations. Since you have most likely always adhered to the tropical zodiac.... nothings changed. Ophiucus was never a part of the tropical zodiac, because when that was created, they only wanted to have 12 signs..... so it's all good.

I do not accept anyone's right or authority to adjust the zodiac.

Cancer have I been, and Cancer shall I remain.

"But they do look at horoscopes. And now they have an explanation for why a day might not have turned out exactly as predicted."

That's a relief, I was starting to suspect that the horoscope pages in my co-workers' glossy magazines might just be fiction.

Screw this BS, I'm a Gemini and I will remain one.

And doesn't this affect only those born after 2009?

Agonistes · « **Reply #11 on:** January 14, 2011, 03:11:53 PM »

according to this bullshit, i am now a leo, and i say no to this. i liked being a virgo. i'm going to stay a virgo, mainly because i am not a leo. my girlfriend remains an aquarius, because she's lucky.

the whole thing started out of context anyway, a guy who is an astronomer (scientist), not an astrologer(voodoo priest) said that the zodiac wasn't accurate probably because the axis was moved since babylonian times, so a group of astrologers re-did the figuring.

it's good to know there is a modern answer for ancient mythology.

I came here to say EXACTLY this. It's like the media found something OMG COOL, and fucking ran with it. Without any facts, and with people saying "OH IT ONLY AFFECT PEOPLE BORN AFTER *INSERT YEAR HERE!*"

No. It doesn't. It only affects you, if you're into sidereal astrology. Not the traditional/tropical astrology.

Keep calm and move along. Your random readings will still be just as random.

I'm a Taurus and I'm stubborn so I'm not going to pretend I'm an Aries now.

Born a bull, will be a bull for my whole life. I mean, to me, it's just full of bullshit. I don't believe it. I don't really care. I've been a certain sign my whole life and it won't change because someone got bored and fucked around with the zodiac.

So, as an Aries, it should be quite easy for me to switch over to Pisces.

Also, I do rather fancy pies.

not that it matters to me, i don't really care about astrology anyway. nor do i believe in it.

Astica · « **Reply #24 on:** January 17, 2011, 06:10:28 PM »

I'm apparently still Pisces -just-. By like, 2 days, or something. Actually, according to one of the sites above I'm still pisces, according to the other I'm aquarius. Fuck it. I'm one of those annoying people on the cusp of two signs, then. Doesn't matter, anyway.

I kind of wish I was Ophiuchus, though. "The Snake Holder" sounds like a cool title.

EDIT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophiuchus
Formerly referred to as Serpentarius. SERPENTARIUS! Who would ever change a name that badass?

Breschau · « **Reply #25 on:** January 18, 2011, 01:04:47 AM »

Serpentarius sounds like someone that should be wearing a heavy hooded robe, with glowing eyes, and a tendency to try to plunge the entire world into eternal darkness or something. Which beats a beardy naked old man (personal tastes notwithstanding), for sure.

And maybe it's just me, but looking at the diagram of the actual constellation vs the interpretation of what it's meant to be, astrologers appear to have imaginations that rival that of an enthusiastic 5 year old (I guess that's a "well, duh" thing to say).

Agonistes · « **Reply #26 on:** January 18, 2011, 02:13:21 AM »

serpentarius is another word for slytherin. be careful. they will cheat at quidditch.

Hand Turkey, Spork, and Horse. The Horse description doesn't match at all, so one of the other two must be the real astrology.

Also The Onion's horoscopes are not happy about the changes.
