What’s the deal? I don’t take a huge amount of stock in the signs and the stars….but apparently the world is way out of whack. Changes in the earths alignment have caused the zodiac signs to change and they have added a 13th sign to the mix? Ophiuchus. Yah, I can’t say that one. Our old system set up by the Babylon’s about 3000 years ago, she is good no more. So apparently the last 39 years I spent as a Gemini. Over. I am now a Taurus. Can they do this?
Look, here are the “new” signs.
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
Now that I am saying goodbye to being a Gemini does this mean I am no longer:
- Adaptable and versatile-Wait a sec, never was.
- Communicative and witty- Oh oh. This could be trouble for the blog.
- Intellectual and eloquent- I can deal.
- Youthful and lively- Well, I am turning 40 this year.
- Nervous and tense- I’d be happy to let this go.
- Superficial and inconsistent-Still not leaving the house without lip gloss. I vow this will remain consistent.
- Selfish-That is just mean. I was never selfish.
- Good at communication-Wine helps me communicate and you can’t take that away from me!
- Flexible-Again…almost 40, flexible was on it’s way out anyway.
So the Zodiac Gods have thrown me a curve ball and I am now a Taurus and represented by a Bull? Gee, that is so not sexy. Not a fab start to 2011. My new personality traits:
- Compassionate-Yep, bleeding heart all the way.
- Stubborn-I would agree. So would my Hubby and kids.
- Dependable-Absolutely.
- Sensitive-Yes, too sensitive
- Loyal and reliable-Like a Labrador retriever baby.
- Aggressive-No, this one is wrong, unless it is a bowl of ice cream or someone is picking on my kids. Then I will attack. Wait, did that sound aggressive?
- Strong – Physically as well as emotionally-When I have to be..I think all women are.
- Dislikes change-True!
- Warm hearted and loving-Check.
- Persistent and determined-Um yes, this one made Hubby chuckle. I might have a problem with persistent. I prefer “determined”.
- Placid and security loving-Oh yes please!
- Jealous and possessive-Is there something wrong with this?
- Resentful and inflexible-Only if you do me wrong.
Shock. Maybe I am a Taurus after all! The universe shook things up but good. I think the next 40 or 50 years might be very interesting! Do you give the zodiac signs any thought? I want to know! Did your sign change? Do you care?
Yes you still can vote for me as one of Babbles Top Bloggers. Find me alphabetically here #201 Page 5. I would love it if you find me worthy if a thumbs up!
Me too! I am no longer a gemini but now a Taurus. Hmmm I’m not sure how I feel about that. I’m gonna have to think about this.
Apparently, under the new rules, I am now a Gemini instead of a Cancer. I have decided that since the signs can arbitrarily change then I shall remain a Cancer – unless the horoscope for Gemini that day; then I’ll be a Gemini for the day.
I saw that in the news the other day, and honestly, I just don’t care! We’re living in a strange world these days.
I was the lucky one mine did not change.. I think my husband did. Why did they not do it right to begin with.. I am not sure.. But I think you should stay at what you want.. Have a great day..
I was a Pisces…and still am! All the rest of my family has changed, though – funny!
My mother has used my father’s astrological sign to “explain” his short-comings for years…and now she’s got nada. This cracks me up the most! All these years she’s been reading and underlining and quoting “Love Signs”!!! lol
amazing how your life can change and you never knew it…ha. still a leo here…
No. I refuse to get a new sign. I will still be a Taurus. Plus, I think that these only apply from here on out. If you are already alive, you get to keep your sign.
I know there is so much talk about all the signs changing and all, but I was born an aries and I am staying that way lol! It just seems so unreal to tell ppl that I am now a Pisces ah! lol
S.
I am/ was? a Cancer. I haven’t done the research but I’m not sure how exciting being a Cancer was, so i might switch to Leo for the heck of it….
Interesting…. supposedly mine changed as well. I think I need to find and do a comparison as well – maybe it will fit me better too!
I have to admit I don’t take a lot of interest in Zodiac signs, but according to these new rules I’d be Opiuchus, – so I’d be interested to see what it said!
Count me amongst the Gemenis-turned-Tauruses. The only thing that REALLY irks me about this is that I gave birth to The Twins on my own 30th birthday…yes…under the sign of the twins. I thought that was the shizzle. Now we’re just a pack of bulls. Humph.
LOL I thought this as well when I heard the story. Luckily the “western” astrology that most of us go by isn’t impacted by the “new” sign. I’m still a cancer just like I always was (and boy oh boy am I a cancer…..)

My sign did NOT change, but my hubby’s did, from Gemini to Taurus as well and my daughters changed from Libra to Virgo… What a year this is going to be.. everyones signs are changing, Regis is retireing, Starbucks is getting a 30oz!!! WHOA!!! Slow down lol…
OMG, I’m an ex-Gemini, now Taurus too, and I seem to fit the Taurus mould SO much better! And here I was, mourning the loss of my Gemini-ness!
