Things Change....

It is now the begining of the year and of course, some scientist or Astrologist has changed our world's entire way of life!! {This sentence may be a little dramatic, but let me explain}
There has been a change in the Zodiac signs and they have added a new sign, Ophiuchus. Here is their explanation to why...
Astronomer Parke Kunkle says that due to changes in the Earth's alignment the dates of many zodiac signs have changed, In addition, there may be a 13th Zodiac sign: Ophiuchus. Kunkle says that as the Earth and Sun slowly move the signs gradually change, as expected.
The change didn't happen over night either. The 12 signs were designated to different periods of the year almost 3,000 years ago, when astrology began, and since then the Earth's position in relation to the sun has changed. Although the signs have changed, it shouldn't change horoscope readings.It's a new year, and there's new Zodiac signs for many in 2011. Professor Parke Kunkle of the Minnesota Planetarium Society says the Zodiac has a date problem. If you imagine the Earth as a spinning top, the axis changes as it wobbles. 5,000 years later, it means the stars are not aligned, so those with a Libra horoscope are really a Virgo, and many others have a new Zodiac sign too. “Right now its pointing this way, the North Star, but 3000 BC it was pointing differently,” Kunkle said. “Now things have moved and the sun is in a different constellation. We're about a whole constellation off.“ And don’t forget Ophiuchus, astrology’s orphan.”Ophiuchus has been a constellation for years and it just gets left out,” Kunkle said.

Now I normally don't care about these signs or check my horoscopes, I'm still a little bothered by it. I am a Sagittarious and always will be. I don't want to have to change it. So here is the new Zodiac signs:
Capricorn January 20- to February 16
Aquarius February 16 to March 11
Pisces March 11 to April 18.
Aries April 18 to May 13
Taurus May 13 to June 21.
Gemini June 21 to July 20
Cancer July 20 to August 10
Leo August 10 to September 16
Virgo September 16 to October 30
Libra October 30 to November 23
Scorpio November 23 to November 29
Ophiuchus November 29 to December 17
Sagittarius December 17 to January 20

Booo! This means that I have now been changed from a Sagittarius to an Ophiucus. {I'm not happy about it.}
Ryan is now a Capricorn and Tayli Bug is a Gemini.
So now here is the new Zodiac Signs description:
Ophiuchus, Greek for 'serpent-bearer,' is a large constellation that falls along the celestial equator, and falls between Aquila, Serpens, and Hercules in the northwest center of the Milky Way. While the origins of the character himself remain questionable, the constellation was one of the 48 discovered by the ancient philosopher Ptolemy.
The constellation has also gone by the name Serpentarius, the Latin version of its current name. Ophiuchus is depicted as a man holding a snake, as the constellation splits Serpens into two smaller constellations, Serpens Caput and Serpens Cauda, which are otherwise counted as one.
{I HATE snakes. This is just perfect!!}
