Did Your Zodiac Sign Just Change?

[htmb]

What you think you know about the zodiac may be a lie. The sign you think you were born under is different, to hear astrology wonks tell it. The dates for the western zodiac calendar have compressed and shifted later by a few weeks: If you were a Virgo born before mid-September, so the story goes, you are a Leo (now Aug. 10 to Sept. 16). Congratulations!

Capricorn: Jan. 20 to Feb. 16

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 Aug. 10
Leo: Aug. 10 to Sept. 16
Virgo: Sept. 16 to Oct. 30
Libra: Oct. 30 to Nov. 23

How did this happen?
I really liked being a Moonchild...

I very much doubt that any people who pay attention to this crap are going to allow themselves to be dispossessed of the sign under which they were born. If they wish, they can have children under the new system. It's sort of like the reform of French spelling -- anybody raised with the old spelling can continue to use it, but schools will teach the new spelling.

As a non-believer, Kerouac, it's good to know you won't be too upset to find you've been a different sign all along.

Actually, the Babylonians made an error about 3,000 years ago, and NASA is just correcting ancient mathematical calculations. Those wishing to live under what they believed was their old sign will be living out a lie.

Damn! I'm a Virgo now? Oh well.

Funny about that...I have never fitted the Cancer characteristics but I have just read up on Gemini and with the exception of the 'social butterfly' trait, it is me down to the ground.

well, i suppose i have to change my behaviour, as i have always been more like a libra (which i thought i was) than like a virgo.
