Zodiac sign changes

Well, some say that this only applies to people born this year. Maybe so they could retain theirs.
I prefer Libra, dammit!

I hope you're right. I DON"T wanna be a damn goat! I like being a water-bearer!

Do you know what I find funny about all this hubbub over the changes for our signs?It's the fact that actual science (Astronomy) is the one who "explained" the need for the change in star sign dates.I'm guessing everyone who have posted on this thread has done their own "research" on the whole deal & if you did you'd read about how it was explained. For example:

The back story: About 2,000 years ago, the astrological signs and the astronomical ones were the same. But not anymore. The locations of the signs are based on the sun's location on the first day of spring. That location in the sky has slowly drifted westward because of something called "precession" -- the earth continually wobbles (a scientific term for a slight motion) every 26,000 years. Since the constellations were first identified, they have shifted some 30 degrees. Translation: The signs have slipped about a month westward, relative to the stars.What this means to you: If you follow astrology that is linked to the constellations, your sign would go from say, a Gemini to a Taurus. You could even have a 13th sign, Ophiuchus, which you may have read about."It's a huge point of confusion for the public," says Bing Quock, assistant director of Morrison Planetarium at the California Academy of Sciences. For those who follow Western astrology, "astrologers are not talking about the constellations at all. When an astrologer says the sun is in a certain sign, they're talking about the sign, the location relative to the equinox. They're not talking about the location of the constellations. "

RaysieI went from a Virgo to a Leo, I actually like the change to be honest.

Same thing for me...I don't see the big deal in it though. >.<

I also I enjoy being two people at the same time.
Being a bull to me just seems so... unrefined.*Reads Cahos' post*
Well, I'm a follower of the Western Zodiac so this change doesn't effect me in the slightest (and by follower I mean that I pay a passing glance to all the pretty pictures of the zodiac occasionally, and haven't got a clue how they're supposed to correspond to your personality).Although I do enjoy being a Dog in the Chinese Zodiac...

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but this change is ONLY for people born in or after 2009.So unless you are ~2 years old, these changes do not apply.

Oh thank god!

Has anyone considered using this to troll people with horoscope tattoos?
Just sayin'

It has crossed my mind.
I just don't know anyone with a zodiac tattoo.

The only thing I got out of this was that July 20 is my older brother's birthday and now I can say he's the start of cancer.

Scorpio

What's that new sign called? The "we don't give a damn"? hahaha! I'm kidding but what's the big deal? Im a scorpio now so does that mean I have like a dual personality because I was a different zodiac sign when I was born?

You know what, this is all so confusing, so I'll stick with the Chinese zodiac. Monkey 4 Life!

In addition, there may be a 13th zodiac sign: Ophiuchus for those born after 2009.

the funny thing is, I've known this for a good 10 years, because in the book called "EarthSearch" on page 53 it tells you why youre one sign aheadthis was published in 1994http://www.amazon.com/Earthsearch-John-Cassidy/dp/1878257749
