Zodiac: What's Your New Sign?

A report in the Minneapolis Star Tribune contends that our understanding of the signs of the zodiac are off by about a month. So all that time you thought you were Libra rising? Forget it. You may be a Virgo.

According to the Star Tribune, "The ancient Babylonians based zodiac signs on the constellation the sun was 'in' on the day a person was born. During the ensuing millenniums, the moon's gravitational pull has made the Earth 'wobble' around its axis, creating about a one-month bump in the stars' alignment."

Yikes. That means every Sagittarius who believes in the character traits of the Sagittarius can no longer claim they like being single because they're delighted by constant change. Now they're just flakes.

Facebook and Twitter are booming with zodiac talk. People are freaking out their signs may be changing.

Don't fret. A CNN post reveals Thursday that for all the ballyhoo surrounding the talk of your sign or horoscope changing, nothing's actually changing. To wit:

"If you considered yourself a Cancer under the tropical zodiac last week, you're still a Cancer under the same zodiac this week.

"Two zodiacs. That's nothing new. People have known this for centuries."

The sidereal zodiac is the zodiac that's changing. If indeed you follow the sidereal zodiac, your sign may change. But CNN makes the point that if you follow your zodiac sign and you're a westerner, you likely used the tropical zodiac. For you it's status quo.

In other words, you blame your glibness on being a Gemini and not on, say, being a jerk? Continue to blame your glibness on being a Gemini. Your sign is still your sign!

Hey puzzler puzzle me this. Republicans are supposed to be conservative but they are actually very liberal with certain things like money....

They like to spend just not do the things it takes to bring in money.

Wierd huh.

Forgot this: koala is not a bear "koala bear" is a misnomer too. Koalas are marsupials (look it up).

Saber tooth cat, not tiger, which is a misnomer. So many refer to it as a tiger but it is not. It is "saber tooth cat."

Your zodiac sign has not changed ENTIRELY! But it is in the process of shifting. You will always remain your original zodiac sign, except you will only be about 50% of it. To say we will not be effected by this at all is false, of course we will? by 2012 our Sun will be in an entirely different astrological constellation? the question should be How Much will be be influenced by this? The best way I can describe what is happening is that it will be as if we are two zodiac signs at once. New abilities and characteristics will start to gradually emerge, yet qualities of your old zodiac sign will always remain and always be present. So relax, it's a slow process, it will take a few years for you to even START to notice any difference.

Zodiac, Smodiac, we are screwed. Wake up people, why are you lemmings not concerned about why this is happening?

Astrology and dogma - fantasy belief sets.

Remember President Reagan and Nancy made decisions for the USA based on the Zodiac.
They were into astrology and the stars.
They would not do tings if the stara and planets were not right.
We were lucky the 8 years he was president.

People are freaking out their signs may be changing. "

Oh brother! it's nothing but superstition and fantasy anyway.

You're such a killjoy.

I will read a horoscope once in awhile, and it can be accurate, once in awhile, but I don't really believe in it.


And what sign would you be?

[rockcutr]

All this boils down to is the return of Planet X. Only a new celestial body would influence such a radical change in the balance of the local known universe. The new sign is the only one with a Human influence in the sign....with a snake/dragon....which in symbolism is always about transformation. The snake sheds its skin...
There is nothing wrong with the scinece of astrology in itself. The humans who enterpet it are sometimes a little wankee.
