You’re an idiot… the signs aren’t changed because someone decided to shake things up, they changed because the sun and the stars don’t align the same way they did 2000 years ago.

Yeah! I was outraged when my friend told me about this! I was a Gemini but now Im a Taurus?! I mean, Im not even going to remember that! Ill definitely sign the petition

If they can change the signs just like that, how can I possibly attach any credibility to the zodiac?

The earth’s position with all the other planets/moon/sun HAS changed. It’s the truth. Which means it doesn’t effect those only born after 2009, it’s everyone. The planetary alignment that used to affect you has shifted over and been replaced with a new one. Why did everyone feel such a strange change in themselves last year? The universe is speaking. People need to quit being so bull-headed. My old sign made no sense to me my entire life as a Virgo.New astrology says I’m a Leo and it makes perfect perfect sense.

Exactly Michelle, its a bunch of Bull**** because some jerk wants major fame to his name! Im a LEO and will ALWAYS BE a LEO!

Get with the times my A**!!!!!

New Zodiac Signs Ophiuchus……… http://www.trendsupdater.com/2011/01/new-zodiac-signs-ophiuchus/

i herd it dosnt change what u used to be i was a taurus im still a taurus its the ppl that are born from now on that change

This “news blast” returns almost as reliably as Hailey’s Comet and each time people panic in the streets claiming the sky is falling. We can always predict that this little misinformation meteor will dash across headlines with similar results each time. No reason to worry about your natal sign. What surprises me is that someone actually hauls it out as if it is a ‘shocking new discovery’, when all anyone has to do is run a Google search and find the identical story repeated over and over again through the years, 2007, 2003, 1999, 1994….there even books on this stuff. But suddenly it newsworthy? Maybe in the Babylonian Free Press, circa 200BC….

Every four or five years there is a news blitz to the effect that astrology as we know it has changed and we are no longer the sign are what we once were or thought we were, and astrology and all of our prognostications are wrong by default. Suddenly you are no longer a Leo and now you have to turn that Lion tattoo into a Crab. And to make matters worse, a new Zodiac invader, the “13th Zodiac sign” Ophiuchus, has entered the scene. Shock!…Awe!

NEWS FLASH: There are twelve divisions or signs along the zodiacal belt, that once generally aligned with twelve of the prominent constellations in that ecliptic. These are Solar oriented ecliptical divisions, mapped in the sky by Lagranian orbital separations and the spaces in between them as seen from Earth’s perspective. As we are fully aware, this has shifted over time; I think they teach this in elementary schools now kiddos, don’t they? But some people seem to be still a bit out of the loop on this one.

Nothing has changed, except maybe someone finally woke up to this fact and declared it a ‘new discovery’…all over again.

One thing you can count on with certainty, most astrologers are quite aware of complex astronomical functions and almost all astronomers are completely clueless when it comes to even the most basics fundamentals of astrological

From Michael Erlewine
Technical Stuff that might be over the heads of astronomers that we astrologers are fully aware of….

Sidereal Zodiac: One of several zodiacs used by various astrologers, both ancient and modern, which is fixed with reference to the stars. Conversion from the Tropical Zodiac to a Sidereal Zodiac is normally specified by giving the longitude of the Vernal Point in terms of the Sidereal Zodiac, or (equivalently) the value of the Ayanamasha for a specific date. Western sidereal astrologers use the value of the SVP (Synetic Vernal Point) specified by Fagan and Allen, which defines the mean longitude of the Vernal Point of the epoch BY1950.0 to be exactly 335°57’28.64″, which is equivalent to stating that its Ayanamsha is 24°02’31.36″. The Fagan-Allen determination leads to a Zodiac which is identical to that used by ancient astrologers (Egyptian, Babylonian, Persian, Arabian, Magi). Its use has been established to within 0.1° for the period BC786-AD500, and to within less than 5° as early as BC2767. All ancient astrologers used the same Sidereal Zodiac, but its universality diminished from the time of Claudius Ptolemy (about 75AD) until its re-discovery by Cyril Fagan in our century. Modern {Hindu Astrology}, which is clearly derived from Greek sources after the Alexandrian conquests which followed his rise to power in BC336, and reflect much of the work of Ptolemy, uses one of a set of Ayanamshas, which yield coordinate systems some of which are only approximately fixed with reference to the stars. And so on….

I’m sorry to tell U but. . . . I haven’t changed in the LEAST BIT since last year OR 2009 so. . . . yea. Who cares about all this, it’s all just a bunch of mumbo jumbo that is made for fun & some nuts took it seriously in this world & then many people followed. It’s just a sign, does it affect your life? Did it change U completely? Are all of your plans ruined? Does it change who U really are? Is the world gonna end?. . . . Get over it.
