The New Sign



Astrologically, the stars aren't aligned. After the 3000 years from when the ancient people started the chart that gave you your "sign", the earths axis has wobbled, making the stars unaligned. This, combined with the fact that there actually was a 13th sign, lead to the decision of adding a new sign. Now there is the Ophiuchus, from November 29 to December 17. Most of the world is having an identity crisis, screaming, "I have been a Libra all of my life, and I always will!" and other, equally confused comments. Even people who claimed not to care or believe in the stars are furious. I wonder whether all of the uproar on Facebook, Twitter, and the web will cause the astrologers to revoke the new sign. Hopeful thinking, but probably not. So, new Libras and Capricorns, get used to this new position on the calendar, because you'll probably be there because you're going to be there for another 3000 years.
