I was a Virgo.
Guess I’m a Leo now, and I was just reading about Leos, and I am much much more a Leo in personality than a Virgo. Probably why I always thought astrology was BS.
Yes, after surgery

All over when I googled about it.
Couldn’t find an actually article about it, though.
Who knows. I don’t really care anyways.

So I'm not a stupid Capricorn after all?
Phew.

well thank God for that.

Because it's based on astronomy, and the astronomy was wrong.
Not that it matters since I doubt a constellation can tell me I’ll have good fortune at work next month.

Same here
That’s not right, changing people’s signs. We Cancerians like things the way they were.
Though to be fair, I was supposed to be born on June 6, which would have made me a Gemini. Probably explains why half my natal chart is in air signs.
Yeah, I know the significance of someone’s Mars being in Aquarius. Wanna fight about it?

All I knew about this crap before...
was that I was a cancer, and its the crab.
After reading the ‘descriptions’ of the two though, I think I fit in the cancer mold much more than a gemini.

So I went from Pisces to Aquarius
Doesn’t matter neither actually fit my personality aside that I like to swim.
Er... 7 days... unless....
The fact that each sign has two days that overlap another sign is strange, too. This may not be a hoax, but those dates are weird.

Well, not really lies
Reading this I guess the deal is the whole planetary axis change it doesn’t apply to the tropical Zodiac because the tropical Zodiac is a seasonal deal instead of being fixed to the constellations like the sidereal Zodiac.
So it depends on which one you use, I think. If you’re a sidereal user, I think you’re still fucked. But I guess the commonly used one is the tropical, so unless you’re into astrology enough to care about using the sidereal instead of the tropical, you can basically ignore the whole Ophiuchus thing.

Right...
…Tropical vs. sidereal zodiacs. Sidereal is an astronomy thing. See my post below.

FYI...
One of my gigs is as an astronomer. The running joke among astronomers is that we are frequently called “astrologers” by the general public…and we love to jack with them when at all possible.
Astronomers have always considered it ironic that astrology observers 12 signs in their zodiac – supposedly the 12 constellations in which the planets, moon, and sun can pass during their travels – but yet failed to include Ophiuchus. There has always been 13 such constellations, yet astrologists have only observed 12 of them.
The dates given above are the actual dates when the sun exists within those constellations. For the astronomer, it means that the best time to see those constellations is 6 months later.
Personally, I’d never understood how Ophiuchus could be overlooked. It’s actually one of the bigger constellations in the night sky, albeit it does narrow down quite a bit at the “ecliptic” (solar system plane), whereby solar system bodies pass through relatively quickly when compared to most other zodiacal constellations.
So, when a person’s “moon,” “planet,” or “sun” is in Ophiuchus, what happens? Do they just pretend it’s in Scorpius – the correct name of the constellation – or Sagittarius? Being that I could care less about astrology, it’s something I’ve always wondered.
We should talk at some point.
I’m an astrophysics major.
Make an offtopic post some time
I’d be curious to see what goes on in OT astrophysics talk :)

You’re dumb if you if you participate in the mass cultural delusion that the sun’s apparent position relative to arbitrarily defined constellations at the time of your birth somehow affects your personality.
