Our Astrology Threads Were Useless

[dragonfly411]

That's right I said useless.

HOW??????

I am now a Pisces.... wtf.

 

[Autumnovember]

I'm now a scorpio instead of sagittarius...I wonder if people are actually going to start using these new signs..

 

[ksinger]

[Autumnovember]

Some are saying that it only applies if you were born in 2009 and on...but who knows.

 

[pinkstars]

What??!!!! NOoooooo, I love(d) being a Sagittarius. This is so lame!!!

 

[ksinger]

Yeah, now I'm Okiebutkus, or whatever...

(you may all refrain from comment now)

 

[kenny]

Doesn't matter to me because AFAIC, astrology is just another thing that was made up and agreed with.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

[Italiahaircolor]

Think of all the people with their zodiac tattoos! I'm no longer an Aries...I'm now the Pisces.

OMG! ...100% didn't think of that!!!!

 

[rosetta]

i'm taurus now?

that's bull.

 

[orbaya]

Virgo, my a$$.... (no offense), but once a Libra, always a Libra.

 

[merilenda]

You know what's really funny? In that thread where we picked the statement that best fit us, I picked Sagittarius. And apparently I am now no longer a Capricorn, but a....Sagittarius! I like this change! It fits me much better.

 

[Autumnovember]

Some info I found...


"The 13th and new astrological sign is only in the "sidereal" zodiac, which is followed in the East. We here in America follow the "tropical" zodiac, which (surprise!) isn't changing. In short, two different zodiacs, only the one not followed by Americans is gaining a sign."

 

[HopeDream]

Hmm my sign didn't change. Neither did FI's... oh well.

 

[MichelleCarmen]

Hmm my sign didn't change. Neither did FI's... oh well.

Mine didn't change but both my husband's and kids' did. I'm still a Sag. My son is so much a libra, very much balanced, that I cannot imagine him fitting any other sign.

Ksinger - I was born one day after the cut-off for the okiebutkus! lol

 

[MichelleCarmen]

i'm taurus now?

that's bull.

lol!

I don't think it really changed. Not that I'm worried about it, myself. I've never found my horoscope particularly accurate or useful.

 

[Jessie702]

they say im a Leo, which is partly true...im a leo/virgo, and have things from both, not just leo. So yeah, thats crap.

 

[mrscushion]

Yeah, now I'm Okiebutkus, or whatever...

(you may all refrain from comment now)

Yeah, Ophiuchus? What is that supposed to be???

 

[ksinger]

Yeah, now I'm Okiebutkus, or whatever...

(you may all refrain from comment now)

Yeah, Ophiuchus? What is that supposed to be???

No idea. But I can feel my sense of self, and my comfortable pigeon-hole, evaporating. Very disconcerting. I may have to go on a spiritual retreat to a far-off land and navel gaze for a bit to find myself again.....

I'll join ya. Ophiuchi unite!

 

[AdiS]

I'm still a Virgo, which is funny, because I've never fitted that sign's characteristics. Well, maybe except for being too critical of people's faults. Point is, I'm a Leo through and through and if this change had any truth in it, that would be any indicator to me. Oh, and DH, who is the poster child for the Gemini sign, is now supposed to be Taurus. Yeah, right.

 

[Glitz]

I'm one of those people with a tattoo my one and only tattoo at that!!! I'm obviously on the team that says your sign hasn't changed. Scorpion for life!

 

[elrohwen]

I heard this on the radio and thought it was ironic - I've always said astrology was a lot of bs and to prove it, my sign (Pisces) didn't describe me in any way. Well, now I'm an Aquarius, the sign that's probably closest to my personality. I guess I have to turn into a believer now

1. You May No Longer Be Compatible With Your Spouse
2. You May Have To Get That Tattoo Removed
3. Your Entire Personality Might Change

5. You May Have Lied To Everyone You've Ever Been On A Date With
6. You Will Have To Follow A Different Generality Every Day
7. You Will Need To Make A New Set Of Compatible Friends
8. Your Chosen Career Was A Mistake
9. You Must Immediately Rectify All Past Decisions You've Ever Made
10. Take Down All Your "Hair" Posters (Aquarius Only)

 

[jaysonsmom]

I'm now a Ophiuchus, and because I was born in Japan, I follow should the Eastern Zodiac.

That expains why I never felt like a Sagtittarius! They always describe Sagitattarius's as loving their independence and freedom, being adventurous, and they don't want to settle down. That is the complete opposite of me!

 

[princesss]

Penny: I'm a Sagittarius which probably tells you way more than you need to know...

Sheldon: Yes... it tells us that you participate in the mass cultural delusion that the sun's apparent position relevant to arbitrarily defined constellations at the time of your birth somehow affects your personality.

10. Take Down All Your "Hair" Posters (Aquarius Only)

I am not giving up my hemp skirt and platforms that easy! Besides, the only posters I have are from "Oh, Calcutta".

Turns out this applies to followers of a type of astrology that most of us don't follow. In most of the Western world we follow Zodiac-based astrology, which this switch does not apply to.

Also, this news is about 1,000 years old. Literally.

So, go back to your old signs, nothing to see here. . . .

Signed,

iLander (still an Aquarius)

 

[HopeDream]

Seems like there are a lot of sagittarians here!

Is there some crazy association between sagittarius and diamonds?
