Whats your sign?

[GridGirl]

Do you feel slightly different today? Yes? Ah, thats probably becuase your star sign has changed. Although unfortunately for me, I was an Gemini and still remain and Gemini.

Disclaimer: I don't actually give a crap about star signs although I did find it quite amusing to find out how many people had their star sign tattooed on themselves this morning and now its apparently wrong. :D

Is this an 'official' thing or a proposal?!

[Rollo]

I think that my sign is this:

In a nutshell, something which was previously merely "total bollocks" is now "complete and utter bollocks". :p

I'm an Aries now. Go me.

[Mark]

So it's just a suggestion not something which has gone ahead!

I thought the chaanges only apply to those born after 2010?

[MrJan]

I thought the chaanges only apply to those born after 2010?

Does that mean that all horoscopes now have to allow for pre-2010 people and post-2010 people? Or do they have to be bright enough to work it out themselves?

Anyway shirley it hasn't just changed suddenly, there must have been a gradual change over time.

I like the way Carl Sagan addressed Astrology in the Cosmos Series. It was a very serious science until the 17th Century. The Italians believed that disease was caused by the influence of the stars. It is the origin of the word Influenza. The word disaster is taken from Greek meaning "bad star" He also has what I think is a very sound theory of why people still believe, and if taken very seriously how it cheats you of your real cosmic connection to the Universe, by adding another reason for people to be fatalistic. Also there is some interesting historical background in this vid

Definitely!

Nothing's changed, though. It was only ever one person's opinion.

I read them on occasion to see what they say. It's the power of vague suggestion that makes you think there's something in it, but that's like how those mediums work, by extracting information stealthily by using vague words and terms to find out more. It's a no-brainer.

The bit that worries me is that the Mail has it under a science heading .....

I'm the new one, Ophiuchus. It means I'm long lived and inventive, but as I only just read that then instantly forgot what it said, I also guess it's made me crap at remembering. Must be true, then :p :
