New signs?!?

Did anyone else read about the changing of your astrological sign?  Because the signs were made over 2200 years ago the sky has changed and apparently so have the signs that go with them.  My sign has changed from Aquarius to Capricorn.  I've always been on the cusp so I would read both horoscopes and traits and I've always felt that I have traits from both signs so it doesn't really bother me but some people are stark raving mad about it.  Also, the possibility of adding a 13th sign?  So odd!

Re: New signs?!?

  • I did hear about that but I'm not sure how I feel about it. My sign also changed from aquarius to capricorn. One thing is for sure....it stinks for anyone that has a tattoo of their sign.

  • Some sources are saying the changes are only applied to bdays after 2009, but who knows.  Mine changed, I haven't read up on the new sign but I'm not going to get worked up over it.

    Yeah I know someone with a scorpio tattoo because of their sign.  I texted him today about it and he said he's not a $(#@ libra and that this new stuff was BS.  Then he asked if this was legit (being a science teacher he wanted to know if I thought it was scientific).  I think the entire thing is funny.

    The reason for this is the wobble effect the earth has.  Because the earth is no longer pointing at the same star Polaris as the north star, the constellations have changed as to when they appear in the sky.  This has taken 1,000's of years if not more to change.  It's not something that happened overnight.  That's why this entire thing makes me laugh.  It's not like you wake up and one day your sign has changed.  I guess people are saying that it officially changed in 2009 so anyone born after that time will have these new dates to determine their sign but I feel the date is arbitrary because it's been a slow process to even get to the point we are at today.  I can only imagine if this discussion were brought up in the 60's!

  • From what I saw on News Channel 13 earlier tonight (BREAKING NEWS) western countries follow the tropical zodiac signs which are fixed to the seasons. Eastern countries, like India, have zodiak signs based on constellations, which can change. Unless you are practicing some sort of eastern astrology, your sign has not changed.
