Ophiuchus will be in newspaper columns soon! Are you worried? Did you lose your sleep over it, yet? Do you feel betrayed that your whole life you were told about (yourself) and now you are not! Actually I don’t give a rat’s ass on this new change in zodiac, just that I need to convey few long pending victory laughs, to those friends who called it part of Astronomy. Eee Ha ha ha (Amrish Puri style)!
Right, back to the topic. This is what happened recently: Few astronomers finally found some time to have a look at this stuff called Astrological (the non-science part of stars, constellation stuff) zodiac signs. They found discrepancy and their calls on Astrology are:
a) Zodiac constellations (news paper ones, not scientific) were designed by Babylonians based on placement of constellation couple of thousand years back, and earth axis changed since then making the whole Zodiac system inaccurate. So, could you please correct it? Enough fooling people!
b) Are still stuck in 12? We told you 13 is the number for the boundaries. So now, add it. The name’s Ophiuchus, “The Ophiuchus”. And to embarrass you, for making him wait 3000 years to get into the committee, he will have a strange sign, wrestling a snake between his legs! (Really! what kind of pervert can come up with that!)

c) Could you please (I added this) stop linking these constellation with personal traits? We know you pulled this stuff from your ass.
This was the story, and there was panic from every corner of the world. It’s fun to watch J
General public feeling betrayed. Let me remind you, betrayed people tweet in block letters! Astrologers panicking, planning on how to pull together some “personal traits” for this new Ophiuchus guy. It’s been a couple of thousands years since they did something like that.
Indian astrologers must be in bigger dilemma, not sure if they plan to copy the Zodiac system from west once again, which wasn’t synced since they first copied it from Greek. Sure its going to be fun to watch astrologers come up with excuses, they need to answer for all the marriages they broke and made based on Zodiac.

But the Hindu calender does take this into account by adding an extra adhik maas every third year. So there is no change required in that 🙂

What about Zodiac signs, any additions there ?

Nope. The Indian System is unique since it makes adjustments for the fact that our Zodiac / Universe is moving and not fixed.
Also, the Indian system takes into account that the zodiac is epileptic and not circular due to which the twelve houses in a birth chart are not 30 degree each but varying according to the time of birth. It is due to these differences that the birth chart cast on the Indian system comes out different from that done on other systems and usually more specific.
