what the heck?

Surprise! I just found out that the dates of the zodiac signs have changed this year. It must be true 'cos Wikipedia says so (tongue in cheek here). Although I stay a Pisces (aw, man! I can't even swim) for a lot of you, this means your personalities will spontaneously change and relationships fall apart. Hm. Good thing I'm not a Zodiac nut, other than to bemoan my status as last of the signs and scaly of persuasion. My man will be especially bummed to switch from Aries to Pisces as 2011 is meant to be the Year of Aries, but I hope he'll find consolation in the arms of another fish (me) ... that sounded more romantic in my head.

Your new alignments, people:

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

Update: It turns out the dates only change if you follow Sidereal, or Hindu Astrology. I'm no astrology nut so don't even ask me what the differences are! I'm not even sure this changes anything - what is that man with the toy talking about? So in conclusion.... Astrology sucks. Your life may have just changed inconsequentially. Or not - I've no idea who's right or wrong, the world is flat and made of cheese, yay!

Now astronomy, that's a good game.
