Actually, the calendar we use today originally only had ten months. That's why the last four are called September, October, November and December. (7,8,9,10 - get it?) Then they added August and July which were named for the first two Caesars.
As for the zodiac being off due to axial tilt, that too has been known for some time, and it is an argument I have used to debunk astrology for years, as well as the fact that there are actually 13 zodiac houses. Ophiuchus is actually named for a real person, and his symbol is the caduceus. I have no idea why this story is suddenly in the news as if we just realized it. |

A friend of a friend raged over this. I've never seen anything like it:

AND YOU'LL NEVER TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME BITCH. I had no idea that anyone really cared THAT much. O_o Apparently I'm a lion now. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Silly astrologers.

Because even if everything I stand for turns out to be completely true, I was still wrong about being wrong. |

Why do we look at the stars to see what(horoscope) we are, shouldn't we read the astrological predictions and personalities to see what(horoscope) we are?

I think a psychological test would be even better.

Apparently I'm now this "new" sign. I looked around to see if some new traits had been invented for it yet, and sadly, there have. It's quite funny though:
