    About the new zodiacs:

    This is not new. It is Sidereal Astrology. Astronomers use the Sidereal zodiac, and Eastern cultures use it also.

    Western astrology uses the Tropical zodiac. Your OLD sign (which really isn't) is your Western sign. These NEW signs (which have been around for several thousand years) are the Sidereal signs. Either is accurate and can be used. It is your choice on how you wish to label yourself.

    Astrologers have known about all this for years. It is nothing new.

    Here is your Western zodiac: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_astrology

    Here is your Sidereal zodiac: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidereal_astrology

    If you want to stay the same sign, follow Western Astrology.

    If you want to follow the "new" sign (which isn't but has been around for 100s of years) follow Vedic or Sidereal Astrology.

    Nothing has changed except some astronomer wanted to get his name in the media and be famous for something that everyone who studies astrology already knew. Astrologers have been familiar with this concept for years

    Personally, I think people should quit spreading BS about things they don't know based on some bad journalism. And everyone should stop thinking that they are an expert on the subject when the only studying they have ever done before was pick up a daily paper.

    There is no radical change. We follow Tropical Astrology. The change applies to Sidereal, which always had the 13th sign, and hardly anyone in the Western World follows.

    Even CNN (a more respected news source) says it is BS

    There is NO radical change.

    For Western astrologers, we use the Tropical zodiac which never changes. Business as usual, Mr. Libra.

    For Vedic (East Indian) astrologers, they use a different zodiac system, the Sidereal zodiac, and THEY have been keeping up with the changes through the centuries ... the Sidereal zodiac is always changing very slowly (about 1 degree every 72 years, or one sign every 2,160 years). In their system, they have been calling you a "Virgo" all your life.

    Somebody, who didn't know this, heard of it and freaked out ... oooooo ... whole world turned upside down. Idiot.

    Must've been a slow news day at the editor's desk!

    Who really knows if any of us are what they say? Who knows if the Earth was ever really out of balance before and now that they "think" its off balance could be the actual way it should be? Who really knows. Astrology is nothing more than entertainment anyway.
