Title: Ophiuchus
Post by: vesta111 on January 14, 2011, 12:17:42 PM: Just off the wire, we are not what we think we are and have been lied to all our lives!!

Today they announced that the zodiac sign we follow is all WRONG.

Worse for some of us we are in a new sign that no one can pronounce and has no set attributes.

My daughter would go from a Cancer to a Gemini though.

Yeah, right Inga! :cheersmate: But, now I am a Sagittarius, apparently. Which is kind of cool, because Capricorn mean I had to work hard. Now I just get to be vengeful. :-)

My husband was born Dec 21, so he was placed on the Capricorn/Sagittarius line. He's more like a Capricorn than a Sagittarius though.

My hubby is an Aries. I'm not into the Astrology thing but when we were dating I wanted to see what Astrology said as far as compatibility goes just for fun, Aries and Sagittarius were considered good matches.

Yeah, according to this I shifted from Libra to Virgo. If I gave a shit (which I don't), I might even look up Virgo and what that's all about.

I think we're who we are because of genetics and environment. The freakin' position the stars were in at the time of our birth is pure happenstance. :whatever:

The truth is, I never cared a bit about what ZOO-D-ax sign I was. I must have been 50 years old when I learned what sign I was and now they go and change it....sounds just like what the government has always done to me....changing the rules just as I get to a point I can use them.

According to the American Federation of Astrologers, although the Earthâ€™s axis has indeed changed in the 2,000 years since the creation of the Babylonian zodiac, it does not result in any major changes like the ones claimed by Kunkle.

The federation, which is made up of more than 3,500 professional astrologers, still recognizes the traditional zodiac with 12 signs.

http://www.dailytarheel.com/index.php/blog/on_the_wire/2011/01/potential_change_in_zodiac_signs_spurs_strong_reaction

Anyway, Kunkle has this backwards: the earth's tilt didn't change, the universe's did.
