<p>I thought this was bizarre - but then I read it in Time… and well, my son WAS a sagittarius but never fit the mold. Born Dec 3. He is a molecular biology biochemistry major… as I said to him after reading the descriptor on Time.com … “no pressure.” :)</p>
<p>Can you imagine the lines forming at all the tattoo parlors with people who have the wrong zodiac sign now wanting to have the wrong sign somehow transformed into the new sign?</p>
<h1>27 - priceless!!! Teri and jym, your posts made my day! At least the Zodiac sign stuff I have is Christmas ornaments! I think we had some Zodiac shuffling in my family, too - we are all summer babies!</h1>
<p>My S was apparently born on the cusp of Scorpio and Ophiuchus…I have to say that Scorpio suits him MUCH more than Sagittarius! :)</p>
<p>BTW, to give serious astrologers their due–I have known a couple, both of whom were actually remarkably insightful, from wherever that insight was derived–the sun sign is actually a comparatively minor factor in what they do. It’s something like the relative importance of Chanukah as a Jewish religious holiday: grossly inflated in the public mind. The whole thing is a lot more complex and more subtle than the popular media would have it. (As usual.)</p>
<p>Regarding the extra “month,” isn’t it the case that in a strictly lunar calendar, there are in fact more than 12 “moons” in a year?</p>
<p>OK, I’m the new one. For those of us who tell the Chanukah story (Antiochus, anyone?), pronunciation is a snap! (Although I disagree with the one on the link. I’d pronounce it “Oh-FI-a-chus” or “Oh-fi-U-chus” with the Hebrew “ch” sound.) Haven’t read the definitions, though.</p>
<p>But my definitely two-sided DH has gone from Gemini to Taurus (then again, he can be stubborn!). And my Libra has become Virgo. </p>
<p>I guess there is more than one way to read the whole thing. My D was mad that she was going to “stop being a mermaid!” Now she can continue to have a tail.</p>
