[Smithy]

:o I'm a Capricorn now :bawling:

[Stephanie]

i don't even know how to pronounce that. i'm still a pisces though, but not a pisces-aries cusp.

[Jamie.....]

Scorpio only has 6 days that can't be right?

[Smithy]

I think it's oh-fee-sea-uss

thats how imma pronounce it anyway

[Joe.]

I'm not a Scorpio any more? Why does scorpio only have 6 days :(

[Stephanie]

yeah it is, something about the sun passing through a certain constellation so it cuts between scorpio and sagittarius.

[Rob]

this is obviously been made up......

[Ninastar]

*is devastated*

seriously. LIBRA. :bawling:

[Smithy]

So if you're born on Feb 16th which one are you :conf2:

[Stephanie]

dunno probably a cusp. *shrug*

[zotler.]

[Stephanie]

[Rob]

provide an official source when you post things and maybe people will believe you, and honestly i don't give a **** enough to google it. And wow trending on twitter, oh wait, who cares......

[MTVN]

Normally best that people are informed about a topic before instantly judging it to be bollocks.

[zotler.]

It hasn't been "officially changed", however astronomers want it to be changed because it's inaccurate and they believe these are the right dates.
Rob, unless you can provide an 'official source' that proves this is BS, then I believe Stephanie and the numerous other articles I have just read.

Oh so it hasn't changed, it's just an astronomers wish, so i was right then.........

[Stephanie]

Oh so it hasn't changed, it's just an astronomers wish, so i was right then.........
but it's not bollocks that there's a 13th sign, so you're not right.

[Rob]

but it's not bollocks that there's a 13th sign, so you're not right.

i never said that was bollocks, i never refered to that precisely, the new calendar that everyone was believing i said was bollocks, so there maybe a thirteenth sign, it ain't in the official calendar so no one has changed signs, end......... so up yours!

[Stephanie]

:joker::joker::joker:

you're sounding so pathetic seriously, no need to be so rude. and you did, your post is right there. people have changed signs though because it's happened, it just hasn't been "officially" announced.

[Patrick]

I could of sworn I was a Virgo?

WOO! Now I'm not a star sign that sounds like you're never going to get laid :love:
And Jessica, how did the original calender have 13 Months? What was the other month called?

We should bring this back.

[Rob]

:joker::joker::joker:

if it's not official then it's not actually happened has it? It's proposed not changed.

[Stephanie]

if it's not official then it's not actually happened has it? It's proposed not changed.
but it has happened, because of the sun passing through that consellation and all that stuff, which gives the sign, meaning it has, and those are the dates..

It doesn't really matter though does it?

The signs are all complete bollocks anyway, and it kind of knocks the whole horoscope thing out the window then.

'Cancer - You are going to die on Wednesday, start preparing for your doom, It's all you can do now.'

Someone reads that and bricks it and then finds out they've switched to a Leo over night, it just makes all these little horoscope things at the end of a magazine look even stupider now, it's brilliant :love:

Agreed, i'm sure my fate won't change overnight before silly scientists who look at the stars decide it would be fun to change the calendar, what a load of crap!

well it matters to some people, hense why there's study on it.

basically what they were saying was that it's been changed for like 3,000 years, so everyone's was wrong in the first place. but not recognised untill more recently or something.

Hmmm, I actully like to follow this stuff, and enjoy the topic quite alot, but I don't think that fits me at all. Saggittarius till I die :p

[Maia]

I hope it's not true - that'd make me a Taurus :bawling:

[Niall]

I LIKED BEING AQUARIUS.

If I'm a Capricorn that means I'm the same starsign as my Mum. Like ew. :conf2:

Oh and that would mean I would no longer be an air star sign. Something I also enjoyed being.

Either way this is a hoax until I see it pop up all over the web http://www.greendaycommunity.org/Forum/public/style_emoticons/Dark/hmph.png

thanks for that and yeah Libra 4ever!!

[Shasown]

but it has happened, because of the sun passing through that consellation and all that stuff, which gives the sign, meaning it has, and those are the dates..

The sun passes through loads of constellations throughout the year. A lot more than the 12 zodiacal signs we use.

i believe in this sort of stuff :D

But not enough to read up on it properly:

Although not incorporated into the 12-sign zodiac, Ophiuchus and some of the fixed stars in it were sometimes used by astrologers in antiquity as extra-zodiacal indicators (i.e. astrologically significant celestial phenomena lying outside of the 12-sign zodiac proper).
(from one of your sources)

Dont you think its quite amusing some astrologers (note NOT astronomers - thickos) say the guff they have peddled the gullible as being accurate for so long now, isnt really accurate and they need to insert a new sign so the astrological industry can refleece everyone again.

[Niall]

Wikipedia have a page for it. They also have a better name too: Serpentarius. At least I can pronounce that lmao. :laugh:

yeah but a certain constellation, like i said.

and this stuff, as in the horoscopes.

why is there now a 13th one?

The dates are wrong.

Fail.

[Benjamin]

In the old times there were more than 13 months, but they were not all similar in length. That is why the calender became 12 months long, to make all months similar in length. If you go back in history, none of the months from either calender are correct. ;)

[GypsyGoth]

I've never heard of Ophiuchus before, I think someone made it up as a joke.

[LemonJam]

if this were true I'd be a Sagittarius, but I doubt it is.

[Shasown]

I've never heard of Ophiuchus before, I think someone made it up as a joke.

Nah it is a genuine constellarion on the Zodiac belt, there are at least 24 constellations on the belt. I say at least because it depends on the definition of "zodiacal" belt also whether you include whether the sun, moon and planets just touches or transits through the view of the constellation.It also depends which planets are included when talking about transits.

Heres one example

The belt of the zodiac passes through some 24 constellations. Given that the zodiac extends eight degrees north and south of the ecliptic, an additional twelve constellations reside in part within the zodiac's belt of stars: Auriga, Canis Minor, Cetus, Corvus, Crater, Hydra, Ophiuchus, Orion, Pegasus, Scutum, Serpens and Sextans.

Kind of makes you wonder though if astrologers are going to admit the stuff they have spouted about houses, rising signs etc for the last few hundred years is all garbage.

Or what wonderful excuses they will spout for it all being "accurate". If it is and was as accurate as they would like us to believe, why change it?

[GypsyGoth]

Thanks Terry, I'm not sure I fully understand it, but I think I get the gist.

[Jords]

Ophiuchus, wtf!? :laugh:

This makes me a Gemini instead of Cancer, if its true. I always hated saying Im Cancer because its freakin' Cancer but it did have me well matched (dont really believe in it, but fun to follow). Whats a Gemini like?

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

[Locke.]

[Kerry]

Libra forever!

No way am I a Virgo

[Zippy]

So all those people who've been living their lives according to what their star signs dictated have been living a lie?

Haha. Thats what you get for being a gullible tool.

and wikipedia is not official fact btw.

[Tom4784]

I hope it's not true - that'd make me a Taurus :bawling:

:shocked:

*Throws a pokeball at you*

I'm a Sagittarius now apparently, I rather liked Capricon. I don't put any worth by fortune telling though.

[Lee.]

This must be wrong..I would be a capricorn instead of Aquarius! I am sooo not a Capricorn!

[Braden]

-feels sick-

omfg, I read it wrong....this means i'm a...a....Scorpio!!!!!!!!

I'm not being funny but apparantly Scorpio's are nasty little ****s?

[Captain.Remy]

I can't be a Sagittarius. I won't be.

Capricorn rules!!!!!

(by the way my birthday is on wednesday, so you'd better all remember it you useless *****) :laugh:

[Braden]

-flips hair in a Saggittariun way-

[Shaun]

[Smithy]

It only counts if you were born in 2009 onwards
