« on: 19.01.2011 at 16:04 [UT] »Hi there,
Somebody has just messaged me and asked me about the "New star sign" and apparently she is no longer a"Cancer" anymore. Her words not mine.
Anybody know what she's on about?

threads posted on here recently about it, titled things like 'have our signs really changed' etc. I get theimpression that a few people are open minded about it, but most are dismissive. Personally my ignorance
around the issue means I can't really have an informed opinion, but there's no way my husband is NOT ASCORPIO LOL!!! Here's a link about it:

wrong and have been wrong for centuries. He said that astrologers were wrong in their calculations and they
were wrong about the number of signs being 12 (he says 13 signs is more accurate).
This is a case of a strict empiricist assuming he knows more about astrology than astrologers. He has assumed,
I think, that his status as an astronomy expert makes him superior in knowledge to those who are astrology
experts. It is ludicrous that he has demonstrated his ignorance thus.
First of all, he has ignored that most astrologers in the English-speaking world are tropical astrologers, so hiscomments are utterly irrelevant to them and grossly misinformed since he didn't know that. Second, even hisassumption regarding the rest, the sidereal astrologers, is erroneous. In neither case is the horoscope
generated or reliant upon constellations. The constellations were named (long ago when the Equinox waselsewhere) for the signs not the other way around.
The scandal is that this scientist has assumed himself an expert on astrology so that he can ridicule astrology,
but his error is obvious to all but the most junior astrologers. His error will remain unknown to the vast public
who are rather ignorant, really, about astrology. Constellations are not and never have been the basis ofastrology.

changes the chart to draconic or of a system like vedic, the sun sign often changes.
sorry if i startled you with my bag of magic stars.

Well it's definitely a full moon tonight. I have just been very rude, defensive and aggressive towards the girlwho posted it on my FB page. She thinks she knows everything and yet she has never even studied astrology.
She always thinks she's right and she gets everyone's backs up. I just wasn't in the mood for her today, so
she's got on the wrong side of my b temper and now she's regretting it. You try telling her she's wrong andshe doesn't listen or want to know. Ggggrrr
