The age of Aquarius is over

Apparently someone realized we were using the wrong system for determining astrological... stuff. Instead of 12 signs there were originally 13 in the age of Babylonia. This guy explains it perfectly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLbbhHq_xls"

So, yeah. I don't know what that means for the world. Basically they'll have to reprint everything that has only 12 of the signs of the Zodiac, so yay for the printing and publishing business of the world. And we'll have to ignore everything Cosmo (the lady bible the world over, though I choose not to read it) has ever told us about our horoscope, because those were inaccurate. And our entire existence up to this point has been a lie, so bummer.

The thing that bothers me about this - and boy, I loved being a Capricorn, so I'm bummed about that - is it feels like it was a slow news day and someone thought they would change the way the world operates. Does that make sense? It's like when they said Pluto is no longer a planet and that the Triceratops never existed. But what do you mean those things are not true? They have always been true as long as I have been alive. You can't change 25 years of history and knowledge on a whim! Granted, it apparently was researched, but still, that's a tough sell!

In case you're wondering if you have a new star sign, these are the correct ones (because everything was wrong between the time the Babylonians threw out the new/old O word).
