A New Zodiac Sign: What Ophiuchus and Other Signs Say About You

  Movements in the earth’s axis have spurred astronomers at the Minnesota Planetarium Society to add a new zodiac sign: Ophiuchus. Apparently astrological positions calculated thousands of years ago have required some new millennium readjustment. The shift was caused by the gravitational attraction of the moon to the Earth’s equator, causing all previous calculations to fall slightly out of whack. If you were born between Nov. 29 and Dec. 17 and were formerly a Sagittarius or Capricorn, you could now be Ophiuchus. But it’s not just you guys – the shift has caused many of us to switch teams, and for those of us who believe in astrology, it could trigger a minor identity crisis.

I must say, I’m not happy about no longer being a Scorpio. I’ve always been a Scorpio! According to the new chart (below), I’m now on the cusp of Virgo and Libra. What does that mean? According to Georgia Nicols, the Scorpio me must beware of financial matters today. The Libra me needs to not bite off more than she can chew. Which leads me to wonder: if our astrological signs have so much to do with our decision-making processes, what impact do they have on determining what’s for dinner?
