What's Your New Sign?

[Scourge2099]

According to that list I am an Ophiuchus. According to this brief outline these are the personality traits associated with this sign:

@Seeker of peace and wisdom (Agreed)
@Attractor of good luck and jealousy (Well, the attracting jealousy part is correct I would say.)
@Interpreter of dreams (Yes, I love analyzing the symbolic nature of my dreams.)
@One who reaches for the stars (I agree with this for the most part.)
@Wearer of plaid (this one is oddly specific) and I don't have an article of clothing in my wardrobe that's plaid.

I never heard of that until I checked out Wonderella this week.

 

[El Payaso]

You know I don't believe in Fate and I don't believe in God. Somehow I did trust in zodiac signs since they always gave me an accurate descreiption that was observable and checkable.

And now this???

Sorry I stay being the sign I was born in. I doubt my personality is going to change magically.

 

[Marx]

I just wanted to point this out again...

The Tropical Zodiac (the one that everyone in the Western Hemisphere goes by) DID NOT CHANGE! Your sign is the exact same as it has always been.

 

[Angry Monkey]

I will still claim myself as a Gemnini

 

[Leenie]

I was born a Libra, and I'm staying that way (whether I'm told to change it or not)!

There's no way my personality is going to magically shift from Libra to Virgo. I recently started reading about astrology a year ago, and so I know a lot more about the personality traits of each sign. I am such a Libra that it isn't even funny.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I too am keeping my Libra status! Screw Virgo!

 

[TheGuy]

Pisces. Formerly Aries.

 

[redmarvel]

Well, I was Saggitarius, but since I'm not even sure how to pronounce the name of the new sign, nor which star field to find it in, in the sky, I claim Venus.

 

[Slushy]

Well, NASA made it official today and thus ruined everybody's horoscope.

Just...no......I was born a Sagittarius, it's staying that way.

Same here! Fu** you, Ophiuchus!

 

[Breogan]

An astrological controversy erupted online Thursday after a newspaper article suggested that the dates that determine the Zodiac signs had shifted by about a month, throwing millions of believers into self-doubt and panic.

I see this thread goes back 5 years,
I remember Bill Nye talking about it over a decade ago.
People are still buging?
That everyone has been "reading" their wrong sign and believed it correctly corresponded to their personality, just shows how meaningless and arbitrary the whole thing is.

LOL I'm Ophiuchan .

 

[Midnyte_Sun]

The fact that people are not changing their signs, scientists agree it's arbitrary nature is crap, reconfirms that astrology is crap, and you're wasting your time believing in nonsense.

This is nothing new. The effects of precession have been well known for thousands of years.

Short version, as viewed from Earth the Sun crosses 13 constellations over the course of a year. Whatever constellation the Sun was in at the time of your birth is your "sign." The Earth wobbles on its axis, so the dates the Sun is in these constellations is constantly changing. Each cycle is 26000 years. Also, each constellation is of a different size and the Sun's path through them isn't equal so the number of days the Sun spends in each constellation varies with each one, from a high 45 days in Virgo to a low of 7 days in Scorpius. Currently the Sun is in Virgo, and will be through October 30th. The current "age" is the constellation in which the Sun is in at the time of the vernal equinox. Currently, that would be in the Age of Pisces, which has been the case since 67 BC. We will move into the Age of Aquarius in 2597.

Of course, none of that really means anything and astrology is just a bunch of crap anyways, other than as a source of entertainment.

We will move into the Age of Aquarius in 2597.

Sing it!

 

[Isildur´s Heir]

Libra to Virgo? Meh, I'm still a rat in the Chinese zodiac.

Same here.

Bah, i'll stick with Libra, because.......f**k it.
But i'm a Rabbit in the Chinese zodiac.

 

[KevanG]

Weird Al has a song about horoscopes. Sadly, it is a bit out of date due to the new sign. Sill applies to everyone though.

[beatlegirl89]

Same here.

Likewise!! Though I'm very thankful I didn't get that libra tattoo that one time. Or else my life would be a lie..according to science.

 

[Greens]

Sing it!

That song is the only worthwhile thing to have come out related to astrology.

 

[KevanG]

You obviously didn't look at the video I just posted.

 

[Greens]

I like Weird Al but he can't compete with the 5th Dimension!

 

[Ruth Fisher]

I will never let my sign change

 

[nyyarod]

From Taurus to an Aries.

Nah. I'll stick with the bull.

 

[Breogan]

That song is the only worthwhile thing to have come out related to astrology.

Well yes that, and ... Marvel's Zodiac Cartel t:

Cause Cancer Signs didn't have it bad enough!

 

[Enriquespy]

Poor Cancer, how does he wipe?
Also what's up with the inverted D?

 

[Siby]

Woohoo, I'm an Aries now after being a Taurus all of my life. lol

By the way this means nothing to me. I'm just having a laugh.
