What’s the deal? I don’t take a huge amount of stock in the signs and the stars….but apparently the world is way out of whack. Changes in the earths alignment have caused the zodiac signs to change and they have added a 13th sign to the mix? Ophiuchus. Yah, I can’t say that one. Our old system set up by the Babylon’s about 3000 years ago, she is good no more. So apparently the last 39 years I spent as a Gemini. Over. I am now a Taurus. Can they do this?
Look, here are the “new” signs.
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
Now that I am saying goodbye to being a Gemini does this mean I am no longer:
- Adaptable and versatile-Wait a sec, never was.
- Communicative and witty- Oh oh. This could be trouble for the blog.
- Intellectual and eloquent- I can deal.
- Youthful and lively- Well, I am turning 40 this year.
- Nervous and tense- I’d be happy to let this go.
- Superficial and inconsistent-Still not leaving the house without lip gloss. I vow this will remain consistent.
- Selfish-That is just mean. I was never selfish.
- Good at communication-Wine helps me communicate and you can’t take that away from me!
- Flexible-Again…almost 40, flexible was on it’s way out anyway.
So the Zodiac Gods have thrown me a curve ball and I am now a Taurus and represented by a Bull? Gee, that is so not sexy. Not a fab start to 2011. My new personality traits:
- Compassionate-Yep, bleeding heart all the way.
- Stubborn-I would agree. So would my Hubby and kids.
- Dependable-Absolutely.
- Sensitive-Yes, too sensitive
- Loyal and reliable-Like a Labrador retriever baby.
- Aggressive-No, this one is wrong, unless it is a bowl of ice cream or someone is picking on my kids. Then I will attack. Wait, did that sound aggressive?
- Strong – Physically as well as emotionally-When I have to be..I think all women are.
- Dislikes change-True!
- Warm hearted and loving-Check.
- Persistent and determined-Um yes, this one made Hubby chuckle. I might have a problem with persistent. I prefer “determined”.
- Placid and security loving-Oh yes please!
- Jealous and possessive-Is there something wrong with this?
- Resentful and inflexible-Only if you do me wrong.
Shock. Maybe I am a Taurus after all! The universe shook things up but good. I think the next 40 or 50 years might be very interesting! Do you give the zodiac signs any thought? I want to know! Did your sign change? Do you care?
Yes you still can vote for me as one of Babbles Top Bloggers. Find me alphabetically here #201 Page 5. I would love it if you find me worthy if a thumbs up!
What??? Now I’m a Gemini? Don’t they have anythng better to do? I was just fine being a cancer. Sigh…So I wonder if my personality changed? How people are now going to have identity crisis? this is hilarious!
Once a Pisces, always a Pisces. The new Zodiac can kiss my grits!
I refuse to accept it!
When I heard this last week, I just thought, “What a load of crap!” According to the “new” chart, I change from a Taurus to an Aries. Not gonna happen. I’m a Taurus through and through!
S’all hogwash, no worries – nothing has changed! You can stay a sweet geminin, we love you this way! 😉
i almost fainted when i heard this!!!!!
I’ve been bumped to Libra status, but I still think I am more of a Scorpio! 😉
with this, i’ve made a switch, though keeping me on the cusp of what i was before. i’ve never identified with being a pisces, so i don’t care either way.
I’ve read that astronomers, the scientist-guys and -gals, are behind the change in signs due to the earth’s alignment, etc.
But astrologers, who deal with horoscopes, etc., say our birth signs are unaffected by this change.
Which totally makes me happy because I’m SO much more Scorpio than Libra, and I’m much too stubborn and crotchety to change now! 🙂
Hey, according to your chart, I’m not a pisces anymore! Now I’m an aquarius. I think I’ll stick with Pisces, I don’t want to have to go out and buy new zodiac charms Lol!
It didn’t really change. That just affects those who follow the sidereel zodiac(an eastern thing), not ours here.
I’m so a Cancer(sign- and yes, I have to clarify)
Yes I used to be a Scorpio and am not a Virgo! But there is actually an article on CNN stating why the signs didn’t change, something about going by the western signs and philosophies in the first place. I found it, here is the link
http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/01/13/no-your-zodiac-sign-hasnt-changed/
I think it is all crap. I am/was a scorpio. And believe me….I am a scorpio. I feel bad for all those poor souls that tattood their signs on themselves. And what about these beautiful birthstone necklaces my husband gave me for my children. All because one know-it-all scientist?
My sign changed but I don’t care. Good luck with the Babble List.
If I believe the story in the MN news than yep zodiac sign change…but Aries to Pisces?? C’mon!!! But if I buy the story on CNN telling me that western zodiacs follow the seasons and not really the universe then I am still an Aries. I don’t know why peeps want me to be so confuzzled. 🙂
So, I am going to stay Aries just because I am that stubborn lol
