Hey! Capricorn is a goat_fish_! That’s way cooler than a plain ol’ goat. (… There’s probably some sort of fancy Greek name for that, like a demitragos or something that I don’t know.) ---

One frustrating thing about Snopes in this case is that they are not doing much to [debunk Astrology itself.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnoaNLaq1Mo) Yes, NASA is not going to make astrologers change the Zodiac signs; but, the astrologers claiming that they do not react to what science points out about what they are missing is Taurus crap… 🙂 Astrologers relied early on the planets up to Saturn. When Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were discovered astrologers ended up adopting them like if nothing was amiss. Of course Pluto being demoted has not stopped many astrologers from continuing to use such a small planetoid as influential as all the others (not that there was any influence by other planets either), but what I think it will happen is that if more people do become aware of how the constellations have drifted, astrologers will change their tune, with no shame at all. ---

The Snopes articles should say “mostly false”, because it even said that the western astrologers won’t change because of seasons or whatever, but since the eastern astrologers (who even knew there was a split?) go by the constellations, they should technically change. Just glad to know that I, as a western dwelling person, am still Taurus! ---

> [@Doctor\_Jackson](#): > > why not? I’m changing mine to **Doctor Lionwhocopulates20to40times perday**. Full of pride, indeed! Guy goes into the confessional. He says to the priest, “Last night, I picked up two young ladies in a bar, took them home, and had carnal knowledge of both of them! Twice! And I am not sorry. I’m not even Catholic - I’m Jewish!” The priest says, “Well, if you’re not Catholic, and you’re not repenting, why are you telling me?” "Are you kidding? says the man. “I’m telling _everybody!_” Regards, Shodan, who is glad now to be a Capricorn because Capricorns don’t believe in astrology ---

There’s a real gem of a quote in that Snopes link, from one of the astrologers: “Astrology is geocentric. It relates life on Earth to the Earth’s environment, and seasons are the most dramatic effect, which is why we use the tropical zodiac.” So it’s official: astrology has bugger-all to do with the stars. I suppose it’s a step closer to astrologers admitting that it has bugger-all to do with reality, so there’s that. ---

Silly story: I had two gals I worked with try to guess what “sign” I was. First they guessed Taurus, because of some way I acted or something. Nope. They guessed again and again, all with some sort of justification of some aspect of my personality. Nope. All wrong guesses. They went through eleven guesses, all wrong, and couldn’t come up with the last (correct) “sign”. So, I told them I lied, that they had guessed right the fifth time, and convinced them there were only eleven Zodiac signs! They fell for it, hook, line and sinker! ---
