I've read a few things that it all may be a hoax, but as we all probably know by now there apparently is a new sign, I called it out...not that you wont be able to recognize it, ObamaCare is easier to read...

I'm not going to elaborate any further because I'm not a trained astrologist. I don't want to pontificate on these things because your astrological sign has a lot to do with your identity. Which is worrisome for me because Socrates said "know thyself," and that's a problem because my new sign is the new guy on the list. I can't even pronounce it, let alone know what it will do to my soul.
......I don't even know who I am anymore.
Another reason this stinks is if you thought Leos, for example, were douches because a certain sitting president - who shall remain nameless - was one, and you hit your knees praising God that you are a and still get to be a Cancer....after you explain to Him what a Zodiac is...following this change, do you think he'll answer your prayer to change it all back because said president is now a Cancer too?
People actually use this crap to determine their futures via horoscope and figure out their relationships with other people based on which sign they're most compatible with.
And now it's all about to change with the snap of a finger because of some sign nobody can even begin to pronounce, which is probably why they left it out in the first place.
For people who believe this stuff, this should put truth to the lie that it's totally meaningless. Not that most people needed to be told that in the first place, but a lot of people believe in its power.
Considering that astrologers are a typically liberal bunch, I wonder what they think this all means relative to they way they poop themselves over the so-called "war on science" conservatives wage against issues like global warming (My horoscope will tell me how much you hate science).
On a different note...Hey University of Arizona...what's your new sign?
This, the week after “The Wise Men” left town....
Amazing there are only 12 types of people throughout history.....
I no longer care about my sign. I’m still depressed over finding out my birthday is the same as Odumbo’s and my husband’s birthday is cruely the same as Mooshell’s. How creepy is that?

Pluto is a dog silly!
That IS horrible.
Very cruel to hear and I’m sorry.

BOY, I just learned to spell Capricorn and now I’m not one...I wonder what effect that will have on my life...??? If mom were still alive, I’d blame it on her....I hate it when my life changes this way.
Just playin....
You mean, Pluto is a silly dog.
Astrologers give Scorpio one month, but the sun is actually within the borders of that constellation only a few days--the rest of the time it is in the constellation of Ophiuchus (according to the modern boundaries of the constellations).
NO NO NO. I’m not changing my sign.
“Maybe some of them wishy-washy signs don’t care if you jerk their chain, but I’m a Taurus. And I ain’t changing!”
I don’t blame you! Stay bullheaded, Taurus!
“I no longer care about my sign. I’m still depressed over finding out my birthday is the same as Odumbo’s and my husband’s birthday is cruely the same as Mooshell’s. How creepy is that?”
If your birthdays aren’t the same years as theirs...no worry.
Lol!!
I was wundrin how long it would take someone to get it!
;-)
“I think it’s all a big fake.”
I agree. It has to be!
“Lol!! I was wundrin how long it would take someone to get it! ;-)
Hee-hee...I know all about you!
“I was(?) an Aries now I move back one? Oh rat gas, there goes my (had my future all set and now this).”
You’ll always be an Aries...a leader...but selfish... lol. But you’re so much fun...because you’re so witty!
It kinda messed them up a ways back when Pluto became a non-planet. I’ve always wondered what the ancient astrologers thought when new planets became known.

I go by five planets, and Pluto isn’t one of them. I’m not an astrologer, but I have a book that compares your birthday with another, whether a romantic partner or a business relationship. It’s right on!
The great year has always been ~26,000 years divided by 12 for the 12 constellations. This equals 12 ages of ~2100 years each. There is no ancient record of a 13th constellation having ever been used to calculate the great year and, as such, this corrupts and confuses over 2,000 years of written history and over 5,000 years of oral traditions. 12 months-12 constellations-12 ages. Ophiuchus, while well known to the ancient astrologers, was omitted for a reason. This is BS IMO.
I’ve always found that stuff fascinating but I’m a non-believer when it comes down to it.
