someone changed the sign boards.

This is absurd and completely flabbergasting. Change is inevitable - it is part and parcel of our daily life, but this change that has taken the world by storm and left millions in an identity crisis. A 13th zodiac sign has left people in a whirlpool of confusion. Those who strongly believe in astrology probably have to chuck aside books and artefacts belonging to the zodiac sign they once held to as a component of their identities. What we seemed to believe over the years has to be scraped and thrown into the garbage chute. That is, if we choose to believe what astrologer Marcie McCaffery is uttering.

Zodiac signs represent constellations that cross the sun's ecliptic or path over the span of a year. In total there were 12 of these, but recent discoveries point towards an additional constellation - Orphiucus. Little is known about this newly introduced zodiac sign but it is located to the east of Scorpius and to the west of Sagittarius. It is said to be represented by a man grasping a serpent, dividing it into two parts and is the only sign linked to a real man. The new breakdown as reported is shown below.

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

Now the decision lies with us, whether we would like to believe in this tale being churned out. Whether this is fact or fiction remains to be decided. But millions have been confounded by this shocking new revelation. Only time will tell whether people will embrace this and whether this turns the tables or changes anything is another matter. Does this change the person we are and do these signs actually depict our personality traits? This is a highly subjective matter and I for one do not feel that these demonstrate how we think, respond, interact and behave as individuals. It should not. The question at hand is how invested are we in our zodiac signs at the end of the day and whether this comes across as fact or fiction. I refuse to budge from being a sagittarian. I cannot be a Scorpion - am far from one. Meanwhile, denial it is.
