I will chuckle and note that if Sagittarius isn't working for me, I can be an Ophiuchus if I want to.

My wife & I have the same zodiac sign and although our sign changes, we remain together. Every day she reads her horoscope and every day when she is done, I ask her to read mine. If we have company, she'll actually read it.

Numbers 9 and 10.

9: "Hey, I'm usually an Aries but if Pisces is what you want, I am totally your man."

10: A couple of days ago someone mentioned it and I cried, "They've repealed the zodiac?!! How cool is that." And promising to look it up the next day, I completely forgot about the whole thing until now.

Numbers 3 and 4. Absolutely.

Denny may even be inclined to verify the fact that Astronomers and Astrologers are two different animals. Astronomers observe that the constellations are not what they were in 2000 BC. Astrologers reply "we know that. We just like to work with the old way." Old news. Maybe you missed it the last time it came out.

Old news. Maybe you missed it the last time it came out.

Naw...made all the sense in the world, too, but I don't recall any flutter about the astrological implications, and (surprise) I didn't really think about it. But now that they've pointed it out and made a huge deal out of it, well...all sorts of fresh fodder for carrying on with, isn't there.

I knew it was old news, and not really worth getting my panties into a bunch over. Which is why my choices were made with my tongue planted very firmly in my cheek

No-one's sign is changing.

The following from Heartlandconnection.com :

"As it turns out, the change in the zodiac probably won’t affect you at all.

Western astrology does not structure the zodiac around the positions of constellations.

Rather, the zodiac used in the United States is based solely on dates.

In other words, western astrology is no longer in line with the original zodiac constellations anyway.

For instance, Virgo is always August 23 to September 23.

Additionally, the change in the zodiac only affects people born on or after 2009, even in eastern astrology."

ah, so....too little, too late then

[mutepointe]

I'm ASSUMING if the one choice is Western Astrology, the other choice must be Eastern Astrology. I'm going with the greater validity of Eastern Astrology. Western Astrology just sounds ridiculous.

You are obviously not aware of the largest serious extant astrological trad. in the world - Hindu astrology which embraces http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidereal_astrology

Just to add, that despite my Hindu background I prefer Western astrology for character analysis. I will explain why in response to this post

Lets say you have this lovely tub chair and it faces towards an eastern window and you can see the autumn sunrise through that window. Behind your tub chair is a massive sliding room divider with sections painted in different colours but at this point in time you have the section painted mauve behind you. When you sit there in Autumn, every sunrise the sun falls on your face and a little bird outside your window sees this. In other seasons you need to divide your room differently so that another section of the divider in a different colour is behind the tub chair and as the sun rises at a different point on the horizon it does not catch your face. So, for instance, in spring, the green section may be behind your tub chair and the birdie noticies that when the the green is behind the chair the sun does not shine on you in the mornings.

One autumn day you decide to do some rearrangement in that room and you inadvertently have left the divider so that the green section is behind your chair. Early the next morning the birdie sees you sitting in the chair with the green behind you (instead of the usual mauve) and notices to his great surprise and confusion that the sun is shining on your face. The birdie, being a very intelligent creature (but still a male after all), is thinking GREEN means SPRING when emmline's face doesn't catch the rising sunlight as she sits in the chair, so why is her face aglow?

[mutepointe]

Her face is aglow because she put something extra in her morning tea? (I'm a Westerner.)

[emmline]

so why is her face aglow?

It's probably the lighted magnifier I'm considering to help me see anything close up these days. Dang presbyopia.
