New Astrological Signs - DFen911 - 02-02-2010 Did you all know the astrological calendar changed? There are now 13 signs and some of you may no longer be the sign you thought you were. Capricorn - Jan 20 to Feb 16 Aquarius - Feb 16 to Mar 11 Pisces - Mar 11 to Apr 18 Aries - Apr 18 to May 13 Taurus - May 13 to Jun 21 Gemini - Jun 21 to Jul 20 Cancer - Jul 20 to Aug 10 Leo - Aug 10 to Sep 16 Virgo - Sep 16 to Oct 30 Libra - Oct 30 to Nov 23 Scorpius - Nov 23 to Nov 29 Ophiuchus - Nov 29 to Dec 17 Sagittarius - Dec 17 to Jan 20 Re: New Astrological Signs - mjkcooking - 02-02-2010 OK Denise have you been hitting the shooters again?? Now Really ! Marye Re: New Astrological Signs - foodfiend - 02-02-2010 Maybe we can't blame the jello shooters this time! I found this: The constellation, Ophiuchus, has been known since ancient times, and is better known as Serpentarius, the Serpent Holder. Astrologers have not included Ophiuchus in the wheel of Astrological signs because the Sun spends only about nineteen days in this 13th sign of the Mazzaroth. Not that there wasn't a 13th sign in the Heavens, but as far as Astrologers were concerned, the Sun traveled from the constellation 'Scorpius' and then proceeded directly into the sign of Sagittarius. In reality, this was not the case. The Sun, for 19 days of the year, travels through the star constellation 'Ophiuchus' before entering Sagittarius from Scorpius The signs of the Zodiac are for the most part, the highway, or path on which the Sun takes it's yearly journey across the heavens - as it would appear to Earthlings. These signs are actually star constellations occupying space in which the Sun appears to travels in an earth year. The original twelve signs/constellations: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces are quite familiar to everyone, however, the thirteenth sign and constellation, [Ophiuchus], is in fact, not well known. To acknowledge a 13th sign now would seem awkward for astrologers, who like the tidiness of 12 signs that rule over the 12 houses of the Zodiac. The heavens are alive and they do change after a few thousand years and the astrologer who wants to maintain accuracy must change along with the signs in the heavens. So, I'm an Aries now????

If they are gullible enough to buy all the herbal cures and cleansing that people are hawking, they'll eventually come back around to us again, too." Re: New Astrological Signs - HomeCulinarian - 02-02-2010 I'm refusing to change my sign! We can opt out, can't we? Re: New Astrological Signs - Cubangirl - 02-02-2010 I like being Aquarius as well. If fits my personality better, so I am not switching. Re: New Astrological Signs - Harborwitch - 02-02-2010 Always been a Leo, always will be it seems - no change! Leo's would not tolerate anyone messing with their sign! Re: New Astrological Signs - cjs - 02-02-2010 No way I'm not a Gemini!!!! Re: New Astrological Signs - DFen911 - 02-03-2010 Sharon so true! At least they knew to leave us alone. Re: New Astrological Signs - Harborwitch - 02-03-2010 D@m straight! We're to special to mess with. Giggle |
