Zodiac Sign Change Causes Chaos On Internet
Thanks to the Earth's movement, your astrological sign may have changed.
The Internet is buzzing with the news that the zodiac has been rearranged.
A sign has been added to the list of 12 astrological signs we've been used to, stated the Christian Science Monitor. "Ophiuchus," the added sign is said to be a formation the ancient Babylonians discarded because they wanted 12 star signs, not 13.
Ophiuchus is for those whose birthdays fall on Nov. 29-Dec. 17.
According to the website, the positions were determined more than 2,000 years ago.
Here are the "real" dates of astrological signs, according to astronomers:
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. 23-29.
Ophiuchus: Nov. 29-Dec. 17.
Sagittarius: Dec. 17-Jan. 20.

This article has a very flimsy rationale. Astronomers aren't unscientific enough to be qualified to determine the signs of the zodiac. 8)

All this is to just piss people off I am sure. Seems stupid

According to this I'm a Capricorn. :laugh:
First they kill off Pluto now they're fucking with the zodiac. :facepalm2:

Am I the only one thinking it makes no sense for Christian Scientists to be concerned with Zodiac signs?

I'm still a Saggitarius :headbang2:

No more sense than for astronomers.

The real question is, why does Fox News think that the internet will be thrown into chaos because of a contrived news story issued by the Christian Science Monitor?

That depends on whether or not you believe that God created everything.

annnnd thats where you're wrong.
Firstly , Christianity borrows a lot of its ethics / teachings from other religions paganism being one of the main
Secondly , in the middle ages Doctors used stars and star signs to determine illnesses which was one of the few medical practices authorised by the church
Thirdly , If you can believe in some guy in a white fluffy beard sitting on a cloud deciding who lives and dies , etc why can't people believe in the stars having an influence on our future?
Both have the same level of believeability and more over PROOF so you can't say what is right and what isnt.
Consider yourself :pwned:.

Well there is a theory that christians based God on Zeus due to Zeus being "almighty" they wanted that kind of guy to be a "figurehead" for their religion.
Religions today are just pick 'n mixes from each others beliefs really.

That theory is a bit :tinfoil: . ::)
The Judeo-Christian-Islamic god comes from the Canaanite religion. The supreme god is called El, he has a wife called Asherah and together they have 70 children who are collectively known as the Elohim (the same in Genesis 1:1, In the beginning, Elohim created the heavens and the earth). The oldest and most senior of their kids is a god called Ba'al (these names should be ringing a bell by now) and a few kids down the line is a god called Yahweh who is a tribal protector of the Israelite people (if this doesn't sound familiar yet, you were sleeping in sunday school).
You're right though, modern religions are just copy and paste from other religions.

As I said it's a theory not saying I believe it 100% but I do see some possible truth in it , given the way both deities are represented physically.

I would say it's a case of independent co-evolution. Mythology tends to be based on the same themes, regardless of the culture that invents it.
The Judeo-Christian-Islamic god was more likely influenced by the Zoroastrian god Ahura Mazda, the first monotheistic religion.

Ophiuchus holds his snake a lot :P

My mum would be Ophiuchus going by this zodiac. I would be Capricorn. I think I am better suited to Aquarius though.

At least he doesn't ask anyone else to hold it. :P

Me and my mum are the same one by this
Why would this cause chaos online though?

Some people believe in the fate their zodiac sign lays out for them. Now their whole foundation is changing. Even their past is not true anymore. :zombiefuck:

They're as deluded as catholics and muslims then :(

Ok, this is potentially a really stupid question, but dosn't it take time for light to travel though space ? What I mean to say is, isn't what we see in the sky a projection from a really really really long time ago, when the light first left from that part of the universe ? Wouldn't that make astronomy completly innacurate and only a subjective truth?
But our observations also be delayed, making the false information we see true.
IDK, I really really don't know. But that chart changed me from a cancer to a gemini. I wonder what that means ::)
In most practical cases, light can be thought of as moving instantaneously, but for long distances and very sensitive measurements the finite speed of light has noticeable effects. In communicating with distant space probes, it can take minutes to hours for the message to get from Earth to the satellite and back. The light we see from stars left them many years ago, allowing us to study the history of the universe by looking at distant objects. The finite speed of light also limits the theoretical maximum speed of computers, since information must be sent within the computer chips and from chip to chip. Finally, the speed of light can be used with time of flight measurements to measure large distances to high precision.

Congratulations , you're free of cancer! :zoinks:
Btw I heard that apparently this only affects the eastern world? ???

you left out Sumerian writings, which were written down much earlier. I myself prefer their 'legends' and am more willing to accept their teachings as closer to the 'truth'.

Well, yes, it goes without saying that Sumerian writings made it into the bible too. The stories of the Garden of Eden and Noah's Ark come from Sumerian mythology. However, the Zoroastrian and especially the Canaanite influences were more recent, and therefore stronger.
Most of the book of Psalms is a verbatim plagiarism of the Canaanite Ugarit texts.

I'm still a Sagittarius. If I'd been born 2 days earlier I'd be right on the cusp of Sagittarius and Ophicleide.
(Yes, I know it isn't spelled like that.)

According to this, I've gone from cancer to gemini like eris.
And eris is correct in that light takes a finite time to travel from one point to another, add to that the fact that galaxies outside our local cluster are also moving away from each other due to cosmic expansion we are indeed basing the astrological formations upon data current many thousands of years in the past.

for the record
Astrology = bullshit
Astronomy = science
To help remember, consider how counter-intuitive it sounds. -logy sounds logical - so this is the illogical bullshit one. "-nomy" sounds like a leftover name, for a science that would rather be known as -logy, so, -nomy it is!
