So, I'm sure most of you heard already that there's no longer 12 Zodiac signs.. but 13. It seems that this guy, Ophiuchus, has been left out of the signs for thousands of years and now he's back. It's another Pluto issue that I'm really laughing about. How can you just up and say "oops, you're not a planet!" and change everything that's been taught ( Read more... )

I'm so incredibly not a Taurus! I wonder if anyone is regretting getting their sign tattooed now? ;)

I was looking into this further last night, as I am SUCH a Gemini. The "experts" are saying this news doesn't affect those of us in the western world, lol.

Evidently, there is more than one school of thought as far as astrology goes. Who knew?

"This story is born periodically as if someone has discovered some truth. It's not news," said Jeff Jawer, an astrologer with Tarot.com, told CNN's This Just In news blog.

Astrology experts say the shift in zodiac signs does not apply to most Westerners, who follow the tropical zodiac, which is fixed to the seasons. In contrast, the Star Tribune article referred to the sidereal zodiac, which is fixed to constellations and is followed more in the East.
