New Astrological Signs 2011
 
So yeah. Iheard last night from my brother and mother that they read this news about the new arrangement of days or whatever to our horoscopes/zodiac/astrological signs...
I just couldn't believe it. I always loved being Libra, for it really fits my personality (too much)...
Earlier this morning, I browsed the web and I found the news they were talking about.
After reading, I was like, "darn no I don't wanna be a Virgo! x,x "
D:

Here's the new table...

Capricorn: Jan. 20 – Feb. 16
Aquarius: Feb. 16 – March 11
Pisces: March 11- April 18
Aries: April 18- May 13
Taurus: May 13- June 21
Gemini: June 21- July 20
Cancer: July 20- Aug. 10
Leo: Aug. 10- Sept. 16
Virgo: Sept. 16- Oct. 30
Libra: Oct. 30- Nov. 23
Scorpio: Nov. 23- Nov. 29
Ophiuchus: Nov. 29- Dec. 17
Sagittarius: Dec. 17- Jan. 20

Oh, and the thirteenth sign is added there, and it's the sign of the snake.
I can remember a few years back while watching tv, about the thirteenth sign only appears on February 29... :P

Anyway, what do you guys think about this?

yeah, apparently i'm a Capricorn now.. i liked being an Aquarius...

otakulily January 14th, 2011 4:34 PM

What. This table makes no sense. What if I was born on one of the borderline dates? And this doesn't even affect me at all. I just moved from being born on the last day of the Gemini star sign to the first day. How lame.

Livewire January 14th, 2011 4:46 PM

Well I moved down.. I'm an Aries now. :)

I still find the whole timing of this a bit eerie, tbh.

I second the whole eerie vibe..... I'm the only one in my family who is still a Taurus... (There used to be three of us and I just barely fit the mark at May 14...) Maybe the only who didn't change at all.... that in itself creeps me out a bit.

Her January 14th, 2011 4:57 PM

how does this make sense there are 12 months in the calender not thirteen

I'm going to be stubborn about this calender and not observe it, I'm too proud of being a Libra to change to Virgo. Only when they start enforcing it will I learn to not be afraid and love Ophiuchus.

But besides, this won't make anything different in my life, it just annoys me that they're changing everything.
First Pluto, then Triceratops and now my star signs? ;-;

twistedpuppy January 14th, 2011 5:02 PM

So...I'm a Libra now? Bullcrap! I like being a Scorpio! /ignores
I wonder what people with Zodiac tattoos are gonna do now.

King Gumball January 14th, 2011 5:03 PM

Gah I am a Libra now >.> Damn! I was a Scorpio before, the coolest one XD

I am still a Scorpio for life though≈

EDIT: LOL the tattoo removal will be popular.

twistedpuppy January 14th, 2011 5:13 PM

Ok. Now I'm confused. So apparently this change only applies to those Sidereal astrology (Eastern hemisphere), but the signs stay the same for those us who follow Zodiac or Western astrology. /So confused

Well there are thirteen major constellations all along I know because when I was researching the star signs for my story I ran into the thirteenth constellation which is now the 12th sign.

Speaking of Bullcrap, I'm still a Tauros ^__^

Good, I like being an intelligent Tauros.

Shiny January 14th, 2011 6:43 PM

Oh my.

So now me mother and I are Cancer, my dad is Pisces and my brother is Ophiuchus o.o

Ah now you got my former sign, well I can tell you being a Cancer is great :)

Ho-Oh January 14th, 2011 6:45 PM

I remember a thread on this years ago saying our star signs changed or something along those lines. Seems it didn't make any difference...

(Searching for it and PC seems to think it never existed pfft).

Anyway, I don't wanna be an Aries so I am still a Tauros in my mind. It suits me.

Alternative January 14th, 2011 6:50 PM

I have no idea what it's about, but it sounds dumb that they can just add another star sign like that.
I liked being a Sagitarius, and now I'm an Ophiuchus. I guess snakes are kinda cool. :/

Uhm, I think you meant Taurus, not http://www.legendarypokemon.net/images/dp_artwork/128.png.

I kinda liked being Taurus myself, because nobody else in my family was one except me. But being born during cycle of the God of war, Aries, has a nice ring to it.




OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire January 14th, 2011 7:03 PM

Hey guys try reading your new Zodiac and see if it matches you, I just checked Gemini's and it matches me as well as Cancer did...

I'm really confused about this too. I looked it up last night as well, and I have decided that I'm sticking with Capricorn because I love my sign. <3

Apparently, this also only affects those born in more recent years like 2009, 2010 and 2011. But, I'm not sure. I was googling it on many different sites and that's the answer I got so I'm sticking with it.

Also something to do with two different types of astrology, Sidereal as stated and Tropical. *shrug*

Aquacorde January 14th, 2011 7:53 PM

What.
I don't want to be a Gemini. This is gonna be so confusing. ;-;
I don't really understand why it's changed at all...

Well the change is due to the variation in the earth's orbit/rotation over time, so over the course of thousands of years, the positioning of the stars change slightly, and over the course of that long time frame, the changes build up, which would warrant the new Zodiac signs, or something around those lines.

Melody January 14th, 2011 8:31 PM

This new table is pure and utter crap. Pure and Utter CRAP!

I am Gemini. I answer to no other sign. I bet this is a stupid hoax. You simply cannot just arbitrarily change the dates of the Zodiac signs, and there IS NO ORGANIZATION who I recognize as expert enough to enforce it.

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. "

In short, if you follow the Sidereal astrology, the Eastern branch, your sign may have shifted. (And most likely, no surprise to you at all: This news is hundreds of years old).

Limey-chan January 14th, 2011 8:36 PM

Wait.. don't these new signs only apply to people born from 2009 onwards or something? (It might be 2010, i'm not sure), but i'm almost certain I read somewhere that the changes don't actually effect people born before the new signs came into place.

Not that it bothers me in the slightest, I don't take any notice of astrology/star signs and only recently found out that i'm a Libra (Or Virgo, depending lolz)

Swolligator January 14th, 2011 8:52 PM

Funny,
I was born on the cusp of Aquarius and Pisces and now I am Aquarius.
I wonder why, link?

Meduza January 14th, 2011 9:04 PM

Darn, I wanted the new snake sign.

Well before, since I was born Feb. 19th, some said I'm an Aquarius while others said Pisces.

Well at least now I know I'm a definite sign now, Aquarius, the one that matched me more anyways.

Maraala January 14th, 2011 9:31 PM

Noooooo

I'm now a Virgo ;-;
COME BACK TO ME LIBRA

I'm totally not going to follow these new signs one bit
/doesn't like change
