MeaganS Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Apparently I'm now the new zodiac, Ophiuchus. I'm not a follower of astrology, but I think it's fun to look at them now and again, in the same way I enjoy reading fortune cookies. I had an English teacher in high school who totally believed in that stuff and liked me purely because I was a Sagittarius like her (she outright said as much). I wonder what she thinks now. :lol: Anyways, I was wondering if anyone else's sign has now changed, and what does that mean for your future? :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giraffe Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I'm in the new sign too, but it really doesn't matter much for Westerners, as we follow the tropical zodiac that didn't change, apparently. I don't follow astrology closely, but DH's family does, so I'll be interested to see what they say (because they just might follow the "other" zodiac that did change).

Guest RecumbentHeart Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 When did these changes happen and what are they? I don't follow fortune telling but have always found the relative accuracy of personality descriptions rather interesting and curious.

Guest RecumbentHeart Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Awesome. I used to pay attention to this stuff as a child and I grew up with issues about being a Virgo because I thought it meant that I would be an old maid all my life. (it didn't help that I grew up without significant men in my life .. I got the idea that me being a Virgo was related) Now I find out I'm really a Leo anyway. *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaKinVA Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I'm now a Sagittarius... I always felt more like a Sag than a Cap half the time. I don't think it really matters, though. I now have 2 dd who are Caps (doesn't fit the oldest), oldest DS is a Leo, and I have two Geminis... not sure what they were before, either.

But according to the article, the tropical one is the one we've always used in the west anyway. But before astrology fans scrape the ink from their arms because they think they're now a Virgo instead of a Libra, they should consider this: If they adhered to the tropical zodiac - which, if they're a Westerner, they probably did – absolutely nothing has changed for them.

OnTheBrink Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 It says I'm a Libra now. I reject that. I liked being a Scorpio.

Guest Katia Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Well, my sign has been in flux my entire life, and apparently, after an internet search today, still is. So, this having a different sign thing is nothing new to me. ;) My birthday is Nov. 22, which according to some makes me Sagittarius, and others think it makes me Scorpio. Who to believe? When I was a kid, I went with Sagittarius, but as I read the descriptions today, I find that I'm more of a Scorpio. I'm ok with that. However, the 'new' thingy would have me be a Libra, and that I am most certainly not. My ds, however, is. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 How funny. Despite not believing any of it, the Aquarius description is pretty spot on for me. Years ago someone who read astrology informed me that I am a "double Aquarius" (sun & moon in Aquarius on my natal chart). I didn't want to be a Capricorn under this new chart! Thankfully, this has been cleared up :D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audrey Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 This is false. Your zodiac didn't change if you have been using the traditional Western identifiers (Libra, Sagittarius, Leo, Gemini, Cancer, etc. etc.) I do people's charts all the time, so I follow these things. This little "wobbly earth" theory has been floating around for years now, but is entirely irrelvant for Western astrologers. Besides that, your sign is based on the date time and place you were born, NOT where you are at the moment. It wouldn't even matter if you were in a different star system. The earth could teleport from this galaxy to another and you'd still have been born when and where you were. If you were a Leo when you were born, you're still a Leo today.

Ginevra Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Mine has supposedly changed from Aries (I mean, come on - who wouldn't want to be THE RAM!) to Pisces! (A fish? Blech. No offense meant to pisceans here.) I don't really care about the zodiac and it doesn't inform anything to me, but still...can you get any further apart than Aries and Pisces? I identify with everything Aries and have always thought Pisces was the sign I was sorry anyone gets stuck with. :tongue_smilie: And what does that even mean? That for 39 years I was aligned with the god of war and now I'm...a fish? :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
