Did Your Zodiac Sign Change?

Millions of Facebook and Twitter users panicked over their zodiac signs changing. Depending on if you follow the tropical zodiac calendar or the sidereal zodiac calendar, you might have a new zodiac sign. Here’s the new calendar:

  • Capricorn: Jan. 20 – Feb. 16
  • Aquarius: Feb. 16 – March 11
  • Pisces: March 11- April 18
  • Aries: April 18 – May 13
  • Taurus: May 13 – June 21
  • Gemini: June 21 – July 20
  • Cancer: July 20 – Aug. 10
  • Leo: Aug. 10 – Sept. 16
  • Virgo: Sept. 16 – Oct. 30
  • Libra: Oct. 30 – Nov. 23
  • Scorpio: Nov. 23 – Nov. 29
  • Ophiuchus: Nov. 29 – Dec. 17
  • Sagittarius: Dec. 17 – Jan. 20

Personally, I don’t really give a crap about astrology. I was just amused by various Facebook status updates and the fact that this was a trending topic on Twitter yesterday. The funny part is that most Westerners follow the tropical zodiac calendar, so nothing has changed for most of the people that panicked and complained about the cosmic realignment.

Also, I managed to trick someone into thinking that Ophiuchus was a new sign that was invented by Chad Ochocinco. *snicker*

Just for fun, let’s follow the sidereal zodiac calendar. I’d love to know if your sign has changed under the revised zodiac calendar. If so, how do you feel about your new sign?

      the 2012 Doomsday is inaccurate. I forgot but scientists have found that whatever code they were using wasn't right and thus they have no idea when the Mayan Calendar will end.

      1. First off, the Mayan Calendar and our calenader (the Julian/Gregorian calendar) differ by 5 years because the guy that based our calendar off when he believed Jesus was born screwed up. First, he didn't account for the year 0 (it goes from 1 BC to 1 AD unlike how it went from 1999 to 2000 to 2001) that accounts for one year. Second, he based his timeline off the recorded lengths of Roman Emporers. He missed the fact that Marcus Aurelius served his first 4 years under his birth name (Gaius Caeser) and those 4 years were stricken from Roman history (because the Romans, like the Egyptians, had a bad habit of erasing history like that).

        So, Mayan 2012 is really Julian 2017.

        Secondly, the end of the calendar is the end of a long count (how the Mayans did it) and then it repeats.

    2. It’s been 40 degrees in Phoenix for roughly the last 3 weeks. Something ain’t right, that’s for sure….

    3. I don’t know what to think about it, but I would like a solid answer. I don’t think the world will end in 2012 though.

      The guy making the Mayan calendar probably just stopped when he got tired and thought “damn no one is going to even see this that far in the future so anywhere is a good stopping point”

  1. Ah 2012, all the more reason for me to buy a loaded vehicle this year lol.

    I dated a girl once who was in to this amongst other things and I politely listened because she was hot and a good time. Even being hot and eager will fade when you are having lunch together and she explains that she is being trained to be an assassin in the spirit world because she was chosen by the gods since her rage created a substantial tropical storm. Date over

    1. I'm pretty sure that the doomsday 2012 thing is going to end up being similar to the Y2K fiasco, but that still won't stop me from joking around about it.

      Even if it were real, there is nothing you could do about it, so you should just be happy living your life before it's over… a philosophy you should already be living by.

  2. I went from a Cancer to a Gemini.

    I guess that explains a lot since some of the Cancer stuff really didn't do much to explain my misaligned schizophrenic tendencies.

  3. According to this Bullshit, I went from a Scorpio to a Virgo….that’s a two sign shift.

  4. Am I the only person here that actually believes that there is something to the Zodiac signs?

    I am a very rational and logical person, but it is hard to say after reading one specific book that I am not a Libra. Everyone I have loaned this book to is now a believer in the Zodiac. It is ridiculously accurate in its assessment of one’s personality based on their Zodiac sign.

    Sadly according to the new shift I would be a Virgo. While I do carry a few Virgo traits I lean heavily to Libra and am happy with being a Libra.

    1. I've read some stuff like that, and my traits are all consistent with that of a Scorpio. An ex of mine, who was also a Scorpio, had a book that compared every possible birthday to compare compatibility, and it said that we would have fabulous, passionate sex, and that it would all end horribly. And you know what….it was right.
