Star signs have changed...

[cyril_smear]

I've changed form a capricorn to a sagittarius... I better start changing my whole personality and outlook on life.

What's my star sign? Horoscope dates, traits and zodiac change explained

THOUGHT you knew everything about your star sign? Think again. A resurfaced NASA blog post recently claimed that there are actually 13 Zodiac signs rather than 12 – but it turns out, that was…

Presumably, this means that every horoscope hitherto has been WRONG?

From now on using the new system they'll all be right. Science innit.

Link to a Scum piece on star signs in the science forums. Have a word with yourself ffs

Just proves that it's all codswallop.

It was the only link I could find with the new signs.

As an aside, on an outing to a singles night earlier this year I was quite horrified to find myself asked many times what my star sign is. I had no idea that any adult would actually ask that question. Morons the lot of them.

Almost as if it’s a load of made up bollocks, isn’t it?

 

[ElizabethofYork]

Hurrah! I always hated being a pisces.

I‘d ask. But only as a way of generating conversation.

and will continue to be so

Really? It was an instant "nope" from me for any chap that asked. Either they are an idiot and believe in it or they think that "women like that kind of thing". Both options are dreadful.

 

[dessiato]

Ive become Capricorn and my wife is now a Taurus.

There must be a compo claim in it somewhere?

Is that the new starsign?

 

[cyril_smear]

Is that the new starsign?

I think the new/old one is called esophagus or some such.

I got into star signs and tarot when I was a teenager and I maintain that they aren't bollocks.

They aren't factual, they are metaphors "Oh, I'm a crab, I'm very stubborn and closed off, maybe I should do something about that", I don't know if I'd go so far as to say useful, but I'm not hostile towards it like most people. I am a Pisces which makes me more susceptible to this sort of thing though

Jesus that is brilliant! "A resurfaced Nasa blog post" (which they don't link to directly, just another scum story on it which then links to it). The 'resurfaced Nasa blog post"



I'm surprised they didn't use their usual 'boffins' line. Shameful that it's the main source of news for so many in this country.

 

[ElizabethofYork]

Yes, I used to be an airy fairy pisces but apparently now I'm an analytical down to earth aquarius.

Chlamydia, I think...

I am open to the possiblity that when you are born in the year could have some influence on your development and a tendency towards certain personality traits. It may have been even more so millennia ago when less protection from seasonal changes, food scarcity, lack of artificial light and other natural phenomena we are largely protected from could have a real affect on physical development as may the seasonal aspect of work or customs. Fuck all to do with pretty specks of light in the sky if it is the case.
