WHAT DO YOU MEAN my sign changed? ARGH!

[WhoGuru]

So it seems that in the three thousand years since the Zodiac and its signs were created, no one has ever adjusted the signs for things like orbital shift. Until now. Yes, the Zodiac has been updated, the signs shifted and odds are you're something other than what you were. It gets better, they added a new one while they were at it. and don't you know I've now shifted to this new, goofy sounding sign. Ophiuchus. Right-o

The new signs and their dates:

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. 23-29.

Ophiuchus: Nov. 29-Dec. 17. (Yep, this one is new)

Sagittarius: Dec. 17-Jan. 20.

So...astrologers all over the world are having aneurysms today yes? I liked being a Sagittarius dammit.

Edit: To be accurate, it is the Sidereal Zodiac, which relies on the constellations, that has changed. The Tropical Zodiac, which relies on the seasons, is still the same.

LOL! Bun was just reading about this to me! I admit, I tend to think astrology is rubbish, but I have gotten used to thinking I was a Cancerian, but no, apparently I am a Gemini. And my Bun is a Leo now. Fabulous.

[WhoGuru]

LOL But I liked being a Sagg. I don't wanna be an Ophi-whatsits.

But...but...Opiuchus was also the name of the secret 13th Zodiac stone in Final Fantasy Tactics! Cooooool! Would it make you feel any better if it were called Serpentarius? Because that's another word for it.

[WhoGuru]

Ooooh It has Final Fantasy reference? I am liking it better now. That makes it cooler cause FF makes everything cooler.

Exactly.

Hmm, I wonder what sign Balthier is?

Hunkybeeficus. Duh.

[greenwarden]

Hunkybeeficus. Duh.

So many naughty quips...so little wiggle room in the site rating.

[DaMage]

Well I was a Sagittarius, guess im now a Scorpio

this'll never take off, so in my books im still a Sagittarius.

hubba hubba!

and it's official Mage. This is the new Zodiac. Let the uproar begin.

I can't decide whether I like Sagg Mage or Scorp Mage better. Must be the Gemini in me.

[Yevic]

I wanna be a Pisces again, kthanks

[Sealwarrior]

Darn.... So I am no longer a fish? The heavens have now deemed... No, doomed me to be under the sign of some guy who pours water for people? No longer can I be contempt knowing that the celestial powers that be will protect me in the water? No longer can I be satisfied knowing that the very oceans themselves and the dwellers of the deep are watching my back?? I just have some guy.... Armed with a jug of.... WATER???? What is he going to do for me, make sure I am well hydrated? Perhaps provide water for me to throw at those who would wish harm to me?? Perhaps provide a super soaker for the deed? Curse the shift of the firmament, and a curse to all of those in charge who just realized this!! (Emphatically shakes fist)

On a serious note, I had no idea the astrological and astronomical powers that be would change this so soon, let alone today. Thank you for letting me know this, although I am a bit disappointed. The bright side of this is that people can look at this as a new beginning, I guess. My only gripe is that now I am an Aquarius. Why must I be under the "waterboy" sign? (sighs) I liked being one with our oceanic brothers and sisters.... In the cosmic and abstract sense, of course. Guess this means I am prone to shark attacks now...

[Vouivre]

so now I'm cancer? Soo... I can officially make crab jokes... most notably mudcrab references?

I wanna be Leo again! >.<

Could be worse. I loved being a Centaur Archer! Now....now I'm a hairy Greek dude wrestling a python. Well...okay. Final Fantasy reference though. See above.

Crab jokes....must...not...start.

[Khettienna]

Yeah... no, not buying it. I still take astrology with a grain of salt; but if I'm not a Virgo, then 1 + 1 ain't 2, either. Not that I'd mind being a Leo (there's a ton of Leo in my chart: rising sign, moon sign, and others), but I am what I am. Grandfathered in, or something.

I AM VIRGO. HEAR ME... ANALYZE.

[WhoGuru]

Ok I figured out how to be happy about it.

I am...an Ophitarrius! There we go. I be both and the astrologers can lump it. As a swing baby, born before the signs changed, I think it's only fair.

[AndalayBay]

Hah! I'm a "money-grubbing Sagitarius" and I always will be - I don't care what they say! The quote is actually from one of those silly categorization things you see to define what a person under a certain sign is like. I've picked up on the one for Sag's and I stick to it!! So there...

Edit: there is no friggin' way on this planet my husband is a Leo. Leo's are like the complete opposite of my husband... What were they smoking when they created this thing, anyway?

[Meo]

But... my split personality was so much better justified as a Gemini. I dont know if i should be happy to be a Lamborghini now or pissed i cant pretend to be Two-Face anymore. That sucks.

[WhoGuru]

I'm not sure I can adjust to being an Ophiuchus. I'm a happy Sagg. Though some of the traits for Ophi are near enough.

Apparently the number 12 holds great significance....I was born on 12/12 at 12:40 in the morning.

[Vouivre]

So I saw a mud crab the other day....

[lilith]

pshaw... I'm not buyin' it. There is no possible way Dennis can be described as Scorpio; not even in the slightest. And I'm still stuck with Pisces.

[WhoGuru]

Mr Guru rolled his eyes, snorted and said the Zodiac police can come find him if they wanna make him change. I'm with him. LOL

[lilith]

It seems to me the purveyors of this "new" scheme have something against Scorpio's. 6 days long? It seems hardly worth the effort to keep the sign around. Ah well, nice try for them, we agree with you and Mr Guru. LOL

[Jiggle]

What?!

I was a Gemini before, now I am a Taurus?! I liked Gemini
