I have reordered time...

Guess what guys?

There's a new Zodiac sign.

Ophiuchus The Serpent Holder.

Ophiuchus is needed because Earth's position has moved from 247 to 266 degrees of the Ecliptic (the center of the plane of the Zodiac Belt). This also means that the Zodiac signs/dates have changed.

...Yeah, okay, whatever. I'm going to agree with my friend who put it so eloquently.

Actually, that particular sign has always been around.

What we know as the actual western zodiac is technically "wrong"...those dates are actually pretty much consistant with Vedic astrology, which does correct for the earth axis. In general, Ophiuchus and Scorpio are viewed as one sign in astrology--thus even in Western astrology, you can often find Scorpio people referred to as being born under the "sign of the serpent". (Scorpio actually is associated with 3 different sign glyph animals--the scorpion, the snake, and the eagle.)

It's actually really funny to see Vedic astrologers face off with Western astrologers...especially since when people really identify with their particular signs, they are always one full sign off from the other between the two astrology systems. :)

I really don't care either way... I'm having a blast watching people freak out on Facebook over it.

But I am a Virgo, plain and simple.

Lol, yeah. Facebook drama is always amusing. (My thesis advisor just friended me...I'm scared, lol.)

I'm just a big history of mysticism freak. Took a lot of courses in the subject as an undergraduate. <3

Virgo is a good sign. The sexy purifier. ^_^

I've always been interested in astrology and had to do a protect on a constellation for my astronomy class... but it was "Ursa Minor", so one that is easily forgotten.
