So, as some of you are aware, (maybe not) the sign known as Ophiuchus is rising up from the ashes and is now believed to be the 13th sign. Ophiuchus, () formerly referred to as Serpentarius, is a large constellation located around the celestial equator. It’s name is from the Greek word “Ophioukhos” meaning “serpent-bearer” and is commonly represented as a man grasping the snake that is represented by the constellation Serpens. The Ophiuchus sign is withheld from people born between November 29 and December 18. Sadly, this means that you will have a new sign. ...O whale. Here are the signs correlating to their supposedly respective dates: Capricorn: Jan. 20 to Feb. 16 Aquarius: Feb. 16 to March 11 Pisces: March 11 to April 18 Aries: April 18 to May 13 Taurus: May 13 to June 21 Gemini: June 21 to July 20 (??) Cancer: July 20 to Aug. 10 Leo: Aug. 10 to Sept. 16 Virgo: Sept. 16 to Oct. 30 Libra: Oct. 30 to Nov. 23 Scorpio: Nov. 23 to Nov. 29 Ophiuchus: Nov. 29 to Dec. 17 Sagittarius: Dec. 17 to Jan. 20 In my case, I was born September 12. Before Ophiuchus, I was a virgo. I guess I’m a Leo now? I don’t care. I’m still a virgo in my eyes. ? For those of you born between the dates of Ophiuchus, here are some traits. - Secretive and mystical - Keeper of hidden wisdom - Sexually magnetic with bedroom skills par excellence - Passionate and magnetic - Healers - Empaths - Jealous and possessive - Dream interpreters - Rebellious and independent - Anti-authority - Flamboyant fashion sense - Vital Health - Wisdom Seekers - Likeable and often given special treatment So, in conclusion, what do you guys think? ? Also, sorry for no b.b. codes. I’m lazy. I would also like to thank Google and Nasa for the mind-blowing discoveries.
This is interesting. Im musing upon the cultural relevance of removing the snake, in particular, from the zodiac. I also dont agree. Aries? Pssh. No way.
The zodiac is supposedly based on astronomy, and the constellations in the sky or whatever. Something to do with which constellations we see in the sky at certain times? There used to only be those 12 previous signs, but the actual astronomical landscape has changed, and astrology must change according to it. The dumb field(astrology), if to maintain any sort of credibility, must accept that Ophiuchus is now valid, and any people saying "Once an (x), always an (x)" are literally disregarding any semblance of scientific rigour in astrology, and probably proving that the effects are no more than placebo. There are no thoughts or opinions. The only voices against are those of sentimental conservatives, and the voices for are those with the ability to think critically, and without bias or sentiment. I don't really care about Astrology, don't believe in it for a second, but the narrative and logic presented in it, which remains consistent with only the field of astronomy, says that Ophiuchus is valid. If it doesn't match up, it was never the stars. It was always you. :mrgreen: Deuces
I don’t agree with this, it’s like NASA trying to say that all the dates have moved because the stars are constantly moving.
It cannot be removed because astrology's logic is reliant on myth and astronomy, and without the astronomy, nobody would believe it.
Why shouldn't it? Is the Zodiac and astrology not partially based on astrology, or do you just believe it because it's all an entertaining myth with no logical basis?
Well this is why I argue which no one seems to get. Basic astrology signs are bull crap. The descriptions can literally apply to anyone. For example; Aquarius are impulsive. Anyone can relate to being impulsive sometimes. I believe in astrology but through birth charts. From the time, date and place you was born you read where the star were aligned. That goes into deep depth explaining what you have in each of the list star signs. For example; how you deal with money could be in the Leo house. Then it will explain how Leo’s are with money. Then it moves onto love Work etc.
^ then surely if the date, time, etc. applies down to that retarded level of intricacy, (which, by the way, would treble placebo) would surely rely on the stars' exact positions, and Ophiuchus' presence in the sky would be a major influence. If those charts deny it, they must all be wrong.
It would but How can it be applied when it’s not even official yet. I don’t believe in it, the traits just seem a load of crap. Until it’s put into the zodiac chart I’m not gonna waste my time going oh what if. These are the charts and that’s it
Can one of you find the official board's statement in response to the proposition of the new sign? and I didn't know that official board of gypsy mysticism was a higher authority than the position of the constellations in our sky.
Kefo just shut up and move on. You clearly don’t believe in it and think it’s a load of crap and that’s fine. It’s your opinion. As many think religion is a load of crap. Let people believe what they want, it’s not harming your life so let them enjoy. You’ve always gotta argue about people’s beliefs. Why can’t you just let people enjoy things in peace
If you want something to occupy your time to argue about something, I suggest you go to Karen’s communism thread
I was born aries and I will always be aries.If anyone thinks elsewise he/she can smd(sleep making donuts). cough cough* have a nice day.
Only quacks believe in that stuff, Aphro. I'm not sorry. XD *Pimd's super secret ultimate troll plays her "I believe in asstrology" card* I like how you believe your view on the topic is nuanced because you don't just believe in the general horoscopes. You're applying the bare minimum amount of critical thinking to the topic, but at least that's better than other topics. Just wish you'd spend your time focussing on things that matter, because asstrology never will without gullible people. Idek if you are applying critical thinking in this case though. It's just the most common, obvious, and primary attack against astrology, that the readings are too vague to take meaning from, and confirmation bias plays a role in perception of its validity. "Why can't you just let people enjoy things in peace?" Cause screw bliss ignorance. The only life worth living is the examined one.
I’ve always believe in astrology and always will. Kefo you don’t know me at all so for you to sit there like a bigot telling me about what my beliefs are as a person. Is pathetic You argue about EVERYTHING with a person just to voice your opinion, so you can be noticed. Why do you feel you need to argue about something you disagree on. We know your view on the matter move on. But you don’t you keep trying to feed the dead horse to get yourself some attention. The worse part of it is that you are rude as hell to people’s beliefs. “What kind of gypsy needs to validate the new star sign”. Excuse me astrology originates back to the Mesopotamians. So for you to even have the audacity to belittle someone’s beliefs when you don’t even know the history of it. Just shows what a sad little man you are.
