i was quite lagged behind about this. omg. just so happened that i was shocked when Alvin told us about it. i knew i was a Gemini ever since i was born. and now, i became a Taurus. omg. 19years of I-AM-A-GEMINI and now you tell me im not? its just like you are told that your current mum and dad are not your biological parents. i dont really believe in this astrology thing. just still not very ready to accept the fact im no longer what i was. omg... check this out, especially for people like Su Eng (and for people like me, lagger)

“I’ve been reading through astrology sites the other day and I came across a site that says that there is another star sign in the sky and a new star sign. It was pretty interesting to actually read it but due to this, many of our star signs are not as accurate as we think it should be. According to the website, I am supposed to be a Virgo, the “Virgin” but all these years I have been considered under the star sign Libra, the Scales. This change is due to the 13th star sign, Ophiuchus which is supposed to be in between Scorpio and Sagittarius. Haihz, now it seems that we trust our astrologers too much but now it seems that they are not actually 100% correct. Instead they are only 92% correct. Due to this, 84% of us have a star sign that is off by one constellation and another 2% is off by two! The rest of the 14% are lucky enough to be still under the same sign. Unfortunately I’m one of the 84% of people that have their star sign off by one constellation.
It was kind of interesting reading astronomy. They explained in detail for a layman why this is actually happening in the first place. It is basically caused by the Earth wobbling at its own axis. Means that the geographic North of the Earth doesn’t point to the North star all the time which is now Polaris, it changes from time to time and this process takes thousands of years to complete one cycle. According to the website, it takes 25800 years to complete a “wobble”.
Well, if you don’t understand what’s a wobble, just imagine a gasing (malay for top) spinning on the floor, where the top represents the Earth and the spinning represents the Earth’s rotation from West to East on a daily basis and the pointed edge of the top is the North pole of the Earth. As the top is spins so very fast, that’s the Earth spinning in a thousand years. Then as the tops slows down its rotation, the top starts to lose it’s central of gravity and starts to spinning unsteadily, so that is called a “wobble”. As the top continues spinning unsteadily, the pointed edge of the top which represents the Earth’s North pole moves around in a circle. So that is what the Earth is experiencing currently. And as the spins unsteadily, it’s still spinning fast, and so it also shows that the Earth is still spinning around many times which takes thousands of years to complete a single “wobble”. Pretty easy eh? Even things on Earth can substitute the incidents happening in the universe.
The table below shows the “actual” constellations of the zodiac.

So what’s the Ophiuichus sign represents? It’s actually a serpent bearer. This constellation is actually discovered thousands of years ago, just that many astrologers today has forgotten about its discovery. And because of this constellation, many things in the world isn’t what it’s supposed to be named after. Everything has all gone hay-wire but nobody seems to notice it because nobody actually knows its very own existence! An actual case of chaos in a world of order.”
