I saw some scuttlebutt on the internet about a new Astrological Sign coming into being, Ophiuchus. What I didn't see was that I was no longer a Virgo.
Now, I never gave any credence to astrology, but Paige once gave me a run down on who and what Virgos are and it was insightful in a broad personality descriptor type of way.
Why the change has happened is covered by io9.
MSNBC has the new dates:
Capricorn: Jan. 20-Feb. 16
Aquarius: Feb. 16-March 11
Pisces: March 11-April 18
Aries: April 18-May 13
Taurus: May 13-June 21
Gemini: June 21-July 20
Cancer: July 20-Aug. 10
Leo: Aug. 10-Sept. 16
Virgo: Sept. 16-Oct. 30
Libra: Oct. 30-Nov. 23
Scorpio: Nov. 23-29
Ophiuchus: Nov. 29-Dec. 17
Sagittarius: Dec. 17-Jan. 20
Scorpio is a window of less than a week? Weird.
Anyway, what is a Leo (and that was my Nana's sign so I am happy about that in a weird way) and what does it mean to me?
As a Virgo, this is what was expected of me:
The Virgo is highly discriminating, but not necessarily as prudish at some might believe...You Virgos have the uncanny sense to see what's wrong with a person, a situation or your environment. It's why Virgo makes such natural critics. Virgo practical analytical abilities are second to none. Your mental process may not be the most creative, but Virgo's razor-like thinking is highly effective...

Yep, that was me. Kind of a douche. I own it.
But I am no longer a Virgo...
Here is what the same site said about Leos:
The Lion is considered the king of the jungle, and likewise you Leos have an air of royalty about you. Some Leos even have hair resembling the thick mane of the Lion...Leo are warm of spirit, eager for action and are driven by a desire to be loved for what you bring to others. Leo are a magnanimous leader and a faithful servant. Once scorned in love, however, Leo will withdraw your affections and the light, once brilliant, can go cold...Leo motto might be "What you see is what you get." You tend to live your live straightforwardly and with a flair for drama...

So...a mane of hair? Warm of spirit? A magnanimous leader?
Nope, I am a Virgo.
Oh, and why you are at it, check out this page about astrology.
Fuck that. I'm a stubborn ass Capricorn and I will always be a stubborn ass Capricorn and they can shove their astrology up their ass.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm an Aquarius? HELL NO!
ReplyDeleteI refuse to accept this.
ReplyDeleteAs DanGarion said, FUCK THAT.
ReplyDeleteLiterally everything in the Virgo paragraph applies to me. There's no way in hell that I'm claiming to be a Leo.
I usually don't care about this kind of thing, but if my something is gonna tell me that I'm completely different than I have been for the last 18 years, I'm gonna bitch about it.
The reason the horoscope fits is because IT WAS CREATED TO DO SO. By being broad and one-dimensional, they make lonely idiots think they fit in with the rest of society. Which brings us to your writings. Your blog is filled with copious amounts of meaningless tedium. Do everyone a favor: shut the hell up and look up the definition of futile, you superficial douche.
