What's your Rashee!?

(as seen in Expressions)

The horoscopes in the newspaper tell me I'm an Aquarian which means when i was born, on 9th February, the Sun was in the constellation of Aquarius, the water carrier, and it was but only over two thousand years ago, when the system of astrology was developed. In the 2000+ years since then, the earth’s axis has moved, kind of like a wobbling top and now, in 1992, the sun was not in Aquarius, but in Capricornus. So now im a capricorn?

In fact, the sun is now one zodiac behind where it’s “supposed to be” according to the astrologers. So if you think you’re a Virgo, you’re actually a Leo and if you were born between 17th November and 17th December, you’re neither Scorpio nor a Sagittarian, you’re actually an Ophichan. Yup, 2000 years worth of wobbling of the earth’s axis means there’s now 13 zodiacs and not 12.

If you want to run your own simulations and see where the sun was when you were born, point your browsers to www.stellarium.org and download the free software, plug in the date of your birth, and look for the Sun and see which constellation it’s in.

Makes you think twice before believing in a system which can’t even get its basic organization right, doesn’t it? and that, along with their other bull crap is why us astronomers get mad when you call us Astrologers!

And NO I WILL NOT READ YOUR PALM
