YAY, FUCKERS! The topic for today is Star/Solar signs. So deal with it, or leave. =P NADA!!!
First off... What is your zodiac sign? Not the animals, mind you! The ZODIAC, with all your capricon-ish and Virgo-ness. Yes? No? O.o I hope you know your own star signs...
There's no need to know your ascendent stars or whatever, because I'm only going to point out interesting facts about the ZODIAC as we know it.
XD
Well, we all know our zodiac signs and what they mean. For example, Saggis are wanderers, Tauruses are stubborn and Scorpio can be vengeful. True? Not true?
And we know that there are only 12 zodiac signs... Right?
NO! XDWell, at least it holds true for conventional western astrology.
In fact, the 'real' solar zodiac, has 13 signs, with Ophiuchus, the un-recognised 10th house of the Zodiac. This also means that for people whose birthdays lie between the 30 of November to the 17 December, You have a different zodiac!
Real solar ZodiacANYway, the current zodiac system that we are using, with the conventional 12 signs, (of which 2 signs, namely Aquarius and one other, were added at a much later date) is also known as the Tropical Zodiac, a place rife with debates amongst the astrologers. XD
So why are we where we are today? And what's with the difference in dates?
Well, according to astrologers, every 70 years, our zodiac dates shifted one day ahead. And we are here today because... Tropical Zodiac, which bases its system on the seasons, has nothing to do with the stars today, as compared to ancient times. As such, the big difference.
Shocking? No?
Well, let me introduce you to the LUNAR zodiac.
XD
The representative of the LUNAR zodiac would be the Verdic Zodiac, a Hindu lunar zodiac system. And like the Chinese astrology, instead of the 12 houses that we are familiar with, it has 28 houses, corresponding with the 28 constellations.
That and according to the Verdic Zodiac, there is 18, even though some astrologers believe that there are now 20.
So what does it mean for us actually?
Actually, nothing much, but as you compare and contrast the different results for your birthday under the various Zodiac systems, e.g. Egyptian, Aztec, Babylonian, Tropical, Greek, some of it overlaps, and it is actually quite fun!
