So they discover that because of the earth's shifting rotation and orbit we're going through 13 constellations instead of 12. So they change what we've always known and how we've always identified ourselves. Whether you follow astrology or not when the question 'What sign are you' comes up you've most likely at least known the answer. Now unless you fall within a certain few days, you're not who you've always said you were.
When I've been asked, I have always responded (with pride) that I'm a virgo. No longer is that true. I'm now a Leo. I know next to nothing about this sign, when you look up the definition of a virgo it has always fit me to a 't' now I need to learn it all over again. Then what do I do when I'm nothing like what a leo is? How do I identify myself? It was always easier just saying 'I'm a typical virgo.' Now do I just say 'Well I'm a typical virgo but I'm actually a leo?'
To some this may mean nothing, nothing more than meaningless superstitious nonsense. That's fine too. They're constantly changing how we view our countries, our planets and now this so what's one more change right?
Who knows what they'll change next.
