Your zodiac sign might not be what you think it is! Millions of people around the world making tough decisions based on the relative positions of giant chunks of gas and/or rock are only now realizing that the astrological establishment has been lying to them! In other news, someone dumped a homoeopathic preparation in the ocean, the factor of dilution means no water is safe to drink, ever.

A bunch of my friends are flipping out over this. Hasn't this been going on for millennia? Why is this news? I think I heard about this like 3 years ago. I guess that's how long it takes to put actual science into astrology.
Sidebar: Since pretty much everything ever has been in the ocean, shouldn't it be a super-powerful homeopathic solution of everything?

I'm still a Taurus though.
I like to read about astrology and see if people fit/don't fit their sign, but I don't get all into it like some more extreme people. It's just a fun little pastime for me.

Most of the signs can define me in some sense. Gemini works, but Taurus doesn't fit me any worse.
It's kinda amusing as a novelty, though.

I went from Sagittarius to Ophiuchus. I hadn't even heard of it until just now. It's rarely used. Apparently they're deciding to use it now because of the realignment. I guess I'm a Capricorn now. Um.....yay? Can't say I really care either way. It actually kind of amusing (and a bit sad) the way that some people take these things so seriously. Every horoscope I've read has been pretty vague. I do admit to reading about my sign when I was younger and going "holy crap, that's me!" |

Apparently I'm now a Gemini instead of Cancer. Either way I'm still a dog. For whatever that's worth. |

I refuse to acknowledge me being a Sagittarius until gays have the right to marry.
Ironbite-why yes I'm a Goat...why do you ask?

 In all seriousness, I'm a little pissed. I used to be an Aries, which actually fit my personality, and now I'm supposedly a hippie Pisces. Really, though, I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it. |

I used to be a Libra, which fit my OCD personality, but now I'm a Virgo.
I've never read my horoscopes anyways, it's just a neat little attribute.
EDIT: Upon inspection, Virgo fits me just as much as Libra does.
Huh. Oh well.

It turns out that the whole Zodiac change was caused by news reporters misinterpreting/messing up what was actually said. So there most likely isn't really a change and you can all go back to your properly assigned zodiacs. ArticleThough I was pretty excited about the Ophicus/Serpentarius one...I was planning on drawing him. screw it, I'll still draw it. He'll be the unused zodiac just like the Cat for the Chinese Zodiac. <3 |

I saw this when I went to the Planetarium as a kid, they showed the Zodiac signs vs their actual positions in the sky.
I imagine there is some freaking out in the woo world, which is funny considering that many of them haven't been living under their "sign" for their entire lives!
