Don't Switch Horoscopes Yet!

I new trend caught wave yesterday on social networking sites, Ophiuchus. For those of you who haven't heard about the recent zodiac madness, Ophiuchus was said to be the 13th and neglected zodiac sign. This in turn moved around the dates of the other 12 zodiac signs causing people to believe their sign has changed.

Astronomer Park Kunkle told NBC news that a change in the earth's alignment is now causing the astrological signs to change.

I must admit when I first read the news and I found out as soon as it was released on the internet, I was skeptical like always. Then I started seeing articles from various credible sources so I'm like could it be true?

But this change does not affect us. Your zodiac sign is the sign under which you were born. This means if you were born while the previous zodiac signs were in action then this change does not apply to you. The changes reflect when you were born and I'm sure babies born this year don't care anyway.

The public was made aware of the zodiac news through national and local reports on Thursday while people were ignoring the fact that it does not change their sign. 

There are many people into astrology and horoscopes who were outraged by the news yesterday...
