Definitely - it’s about as much breaking news as “Earth revolves around the Sun contrary to previous reports,” but the current panic over the loss of one’s sign makes me thinks that the current “announcement” is joke, a new version of an old story.
Well, I was never a K-car kinda guy anyway.
I will give up my Scorpiohood when they pry my cold dead fingers off of it. So There!
Not that I actually believe in that poop, but…if I did…they would have to pry my cold dead fingers, etc., etc.
Great, my sign changed too! Now when someone asks I can tell them Upyourscus instead of Sagittarius. I feel different already.
And I now longer have a compulsion to visit those centaur pornsites. Rule 34.
Pfft. I went sidereal years ago. This is what I’ve been saying for some time: instead of just dividing the ecliptic into 12 equal parts, actually use these arbitrary collections of stars you’re pretending mean something.
I am amused that Ophiuchus is basically pushing out Scorpius.
And yes, I know it’s poppycock. Chalk up any pretense that I believe in it at all to my Gemini nature.
I used to be a Leo (July 29) and now I’m a Cancer. Oddly enough, I always identified more with Cancer (blue, water) than Leo (red, fire).
I guess I get to choose again what I want to be. At first I was on the cusp of Gemini and Cancer, now I’m on the cusp of Gemini and Taurus. Maybe I’ll just stick with being a twin crab.

I object! I am not a Libra!

Despite my Xmas B-day, I am not anything like a Capricorn of a Sagetarius.
I am, and shall always consider myself, a Pices.
I don’t really give much of a crap about my sign, in fact, I don’t think I’ve checked it in years, but it looks like I’m no longer a Virgo. I’m a Leo. I guess that’s okay. So, which of the 13 signs are you now?
Apparently I’m now a Leo. I will seek to change my personality accordingly. Rawr.
I have a friend who’s been studying sidereal astrology for years, and I just don’t buy it. Can’t explain why, but it just doesn’t fit. I am the Queen of TMI - don’t tell me I’m a Scorpio! Out of all my close friends, there are less than 10% that I think fit their sidereal signs better than their tropical ones.
But yes. Tropically, I’m a Sagittarius. Sidereally, I’m a Scorpio. As if.
Was a Leo, now a Cancer.
I’m glad all the time or money I’ve invested into anything astrological is limited to a $2 pendant I bought 15 years ago, I’d imagine it’s been in a landfill somewhere for the last 12 years.
I don’t make a big deal about it, but yes, I changed. I’m the new guy with the name I can’t pronounce, so I’m calling him “Big Buff Hairy Guy With Snake”
Sounds way cooler.
I’m a Libra now, supposedly…although in my heart and mind, I’ll always consider myself still a Scorpio.
Merged duplicate threads.
I don’t hang around with enough silly hippies, so just checking- if your birthdate is listed as being two signs, does that make it ‘on the cusp’?
So I’m no longer just an aquarius, I’m aquarius on the cusp of capricorn…
Ooh, I think I’ll say it in a dramatic whisper…
CNN clarifies some stuff.
Apparently we’re all still what we were. 
Some people think that if you’re “on the cusp”, you may have some of the traits of each sign. Many astrologers don’t think so, some do, but the ones that do generally define cusp a little more strictly than laypeople do: if your birthday is on the first or last day of the sign for your birth year (the dates change a little bit year to year), then you can be considered a cusp. I’ve heard laypeople refer to themselves as cusp with a birthday as many as 5 days into their sign, which makes most astrologers stabby.
This is one of those “news” articles that isn’t news. (The ones in the OPs, I mean.) Tropical astrologers, as the CNN article points out, know damn well that the constellations don’t line up with the zodiac as they once did. But that’s okay, because they aren’t using the constellations, anyhow. And this gets argued out at every bonfire or bar where two astrologers meet, and has been for hundreds of years.
Really, I wonder how “news” like this becomes News.
No, I knew that, but, like you said, it got big enough to apparently have to be calmed down. Heh.
