Your Horoscope's a Lie

So recently the big hype all over the internet is that the zodiac is changing, and not only are they adding in a thirteenth sign, but your astrological sign might change.

What a bunch of bull shit.

First of all, this only supposedly affects those born in 2009 and later.

Second, if you talk to any astrologer who creates horoscopes at depth and for you personally, they'll tell you it's all a bunch of crock.

"A spokeswoman for the American Federation of Astrologers, Shelley Ackerman, said she'd been swamped with e-mails from worried clients. She advises them not to overreact.

"This doesn't change your chart at all. I'm not about to use it," she said. 'Every few years a story like this comes out and scares the living daylights out of everyone, but it'll go away as quickly as it came.'"

And that does bring me to my third point, I heard about this in 2009, and no one cared then.

I'd like to share a bit of information to you horoscope reading folks.

You're only looking at your sun sign.

Did you know you have a moon sign too? That because of that, it changes what your actual overall zodiac means.

Did you know that every person has their own natal star chart that gives them their own personal horoscopes every day, and that differs from person to person? I bet you didn't.

You see, astronomers are very scientific. Astrologers, while scientific in their own way, operate on an entirely different playing field.

So before you go jumping for joy over a potential new constellation and zodiac sign, remember that it probably won't ever really exist in any books, readings, or otherwise. Because astronomers are not astrologers.

And in a month, no one will remember or care about this anymore anyways. So please calm down, breathe normally, and continue on with your life. It's going to be okay.
