Quote from Arus;290095:
None of your signs have changed. There are two things Kunkle (the astronomer responsible for this mass media zodiac "scare") has failed to realize: 1) that astrologers have long since known about precession, and 2) the type of astrology to which he is referring is known as sidereal astrology, which is generally only practiced by Vedic astrologers in the East. Most of us in the West have grown up with tropical astrology, which doesn't deal directly with stars. Instead, we use the equinoxes (vernal and autumnal) and solstices (summer and winter) to create four cardinal points, which are then divided up into areas marking the twelve signs of the zodiac. The constellations simply help to locate those points marking seasonal changes, which are constant, hence the names of the signs.
So on that note, I will still refer to my sun sign as Leo and not some giant crab. Whee.

Lol, Bliz, I'm just trolling these news. Evidently, nothing has changed, since this 'new' sign has been around for centuries (it's a constellation).
And I was cancer before I got my new sign...!! DOOM. Now I'm Geminis. Be my twin.

Also, lol at all those articles that came out explaining this the next day. Reporters should've looked into it a little more before publishing. ):
