Someone added a 13th Zodiac sign (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/13/new-zodiac-sign-dates-oph_n_808567.html), so that reshuffled the dates around. The dates are as follows:
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
Assuming that this isn't total bs, I'm a Sagittarius now.
-
Well, that changed both my brother's and my sign. Looks like I'm not a crab anymore, now I'm a twin...thing...what was Gemini exactly again?
I wanted Leo >__>
-
I'm Leo..but this is complete BS anyway
-
Libra to Virgo? Complete and total downgrade for myself. XD
Let's just pretend that the 13th star name doesn't count like we always did before. :P
-
I agree, I like being a Virgo
-
Ophiucus isn't a Zodiacal constellation, it just happens to lie on the Zodiac belt. Therefore, this isn't true. We are all still the same signs as before.
-
LoL, well this is certainly silly!
-
So the evil 13th sign, Serpentarius, is a real sign now!
Apparently I'm a Gemini.
-
I am in the same Capricorn-to-Sagitarius situation. Buut I doubt the credibility of that; the Ophiuchus symbol has been there for a while now... just it's mostly ignored because the sun didn't start passing through it's constelation until 2009. [thanks wikipedia]
Also, I don't think there's many "official" stuff when it comes to astrology.

Following links leads to this: http://www.aolnews.com/2011/01/13/new-zodiac-sign-dates-causing-identity-crisis-on-twitter/
The signs of the zodiac were created by the ancient Babylonians, who believed that whatever constellation the sun was "in" when you were born helped shape who you are. But a "wobble" in the Earth's rotation means that the sun's placement in, say, late December is no longer where it was when the Babylonians created the system.
"When [astrologers] say that the sun is in Pisces, it's really not in Pisces," Parke Kunkle of the Minnesota Planetarium Society told the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Even more shocking: Kunkle and his colleagues say there should be a 13th sign, Ophiuchus. That's the constellation the sun is in from Nov. 29 to Dec. 17. Apparently, the Babylonians skipped Ophiuchus because they wanted there to be only 12 signs.
So yeah, they arbitrarily decided it wasn't a Zodiac sign, but scientists are saying they were wrong. And are you going to argue with SCIENTISTS?!
-
Oh yeah. I remember.
Elidibs from Final Fantasy Tactics. The Snake Carrier. Used to get the best summon.
I'm Aries now: (http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/439/veliussprh.gif)

In honor of our new sign. (My new sign to be more precise!)
-
With the BS addition, I'm a Pisces now, and oddly enough, it fits...
-
I'm a Libra/Scorpio cusp now? That's bullshit, I liked being a Sag on the cusp of Scorpio. >_>
-
And are you going to argue with SCIENTISTS?!
yes. Why not? It was all a matter of personal preference to begin with. Some say there should be 12, others 13.
I still prefer being an Aries though.
-
yes. Why not?
Mmm, emphasis was to make it clear I was just being silly.
I don't really know anything about the Zodiac, myself.
-
The Zodiac signs and the belief that your personality and life is influenced by whichever one you are born under, falls into the area of "mysticism", and Scientists honestly have NO place in that. Their job is to SCIENCE.
SO Unless they can explain logically and/or scientifically, what difference it makes, then they shouldnt talk.
Now, Astrologists are another thing all together-
-
Aren't astrologists a subtype of scientists?
-
I think this just applies to people born now, because when you were born the planets weren't aligned like they are now.
Regardless, Astrology is pretty much all BS anyway.
-
Apparently with the addition of Ophiuchus I am now a Cancer-to-Gemini. Greeeat, this is why I don't pay attention to these things, so confusing. -u-'
-
Shame, astrology is still a crock of [parasitic bomb].
-
I don't care who/what I am, no [tornado fang]ing constellation is going to tell me who/what I'm going to be. That decision is up to ME and ME ONLY.
The same goes for everybody else. If some dumb [tornado fang] who reads his/her horoscope every day does not realize that, then that's too bad for them.
I apologize for the excessive frankness, but I really needed to get that off my chest.
-
I don't believe in it, but it's still fun when I get my hands on an last week horoscope just to see if it got something right.....and sometimes it did predict something :D

Magnets, mother [tornado fang]er.
Anyways, this new 13th sign throws me into a.. Leo. Is that an upgrade? What the [tornado fang] is a Leo? Will it get me laid? Virgo certainly hasn't.

Well, taking this to it's logical conclusion:
Virgo = Virgin
Leo = Mighty king of the jungle
So yeah I guess. XD
-
I guess I better stock up on condoms, then.
-
I like how my post was blatantly ignored even though it was highly evident... :(
Ya know, I've known about this confusing situation for years now.
-
Lol, the 13th zodiac, sounds like a game premise to me.
So from Leo to Cancer, I don't like the sound of cancer.
-
I had to live with it for 18+ years and now you'll have to too and you will like it!
-
Noooooooooooo!
Oh well at least I'm delicious with chili.

You'll get plenty of sex, but it lasts 3 seconds each

For that you are getting downgraded to a racoon >:I

After a three year dry spell, that's a damned good time for me :P
-
It seems that I'm still a Aquarius.
Aww crud

This guy is really cool.
-
Until that bullshit sign shows up in my local paper, I'm still a Capricorn. I sure as hell don't fit Sagittarius anyway. No n00b is taking my Tropic!
-
It won't; as I said before, Ophiucus is a constellation that merely falls within the Zodiac Belt. It is NOT a new Zodiac sign since if it was, it would've been in the list long ago. It's not like it recently popped into existence; it's been there for hundreds of years, so it would've been in your paper already.

As far as I know, the argument is that the sun started passing through the constellation since 2009. Although with that argument I must wonder why people are only starting to comment about this now.
-
Nah, I knew about this for that very reason in 2001, at the earliest. Had it in a Eyewitness Space computer program way back then.

You too? I think I had the history one though.
-
Loved that thing; had an observatory. Sadly, the disc no longer reads, but eh, no matter.
-
Before I was a Pisces, now I'm an Aqaurius. Either way I'm still water-based. 8B
-
**is tempted to renamed PurrfectTrio to PurrfectVirgins now that all 3 birthdays fall under Virgo** o~O
-
If I believe in this, I would be from Sagittarius to Ophiucus... But I like to be a centaur archer. D:
-
Meh, do people don't get this yet? THIS IS OLD NEWS!! FOX NEWS IS TRYING TO DO THIS JUST TO FREAK YOU OUT!! So you guys still have the same old signs, they just didn't change the Tropical Zodiac, because these 12 Zodiac signs were based on four seasons of the elements. Ophiuchus has no reason to be in Tropical because it's the element of Aether.
-
It fits best without the new sign because there are 12 signs for 12 months :P
Also, turns out it was an astronomer who said it. Which means he has no say in this since it isn't science but mysticism, and he should go back to doing SCIENCE

I've been trying to say this for the entire topic...
-
So... I went from the fire-based Aries to the water-based Pisces if this was true? Good grief. XD
But then again, Aries never really fit my personality except for the whole fire thing.
-
Everything is stupid.
This is stupid.
-
But we love stupid thing. 8D
It's fun while it lasts.
-
screw this BS.
I'm the perfect Libra, I ain't changing to Mr. Pretty boy Virgo. >.>
...
even if its MMSF equivalent is superior.
-
Wasn't this crap all started/fed by Faux News?
Even if it wasn't, Your zodiac sign is based on the location of the stars at your time of birth. Opiuchus did not appear until 2009. This is irrelevant unless you were born in 09.
e.g. bullshit, I'm still a Scorpio.
-
But the old date intervals were for 2000 years ago. The constellations didn't suddenly jump 2009.
You're probably not a Serpentarius, but you may not be what you thought you were, either.
