All I could think of is something about Ron Howard.
I think the old guys had way too much imagination;few of the constellations look much like the supposed hero,creature,or object to me.
Been too cold for stargazing here anyway.But a like-new CR150 sits waiting for me to pick it up tommorrow!Wonder how many astronomers are on FR?
If that’s the case, then he will have to re-calculate the Chinese zodiac, as well! Good luck!
Cold? That’s really the best time. Bundle up and go out and stargaze.
Got to see Canopus for the first time. That was really something.
Not exactly correct; the list needs to be time-sequenced so that you can look up the correct sign in the year of your birth, not what it is now.
The procession of stars is, well, universal, and has been going on since the beginning.
If it’s important to anyone, then it only matters (I guess) what sign it was when you were born. I suppose the daily zodiac in the paper will have to make that distinction clear.....
Oh wait, what am I saying.. Media being forthright and factual?
Never mind.
Wouldn’t you have to change your handle to Sitting Bull, or some such?
They added a new one, kind of an affirmative action sign.
Unfortunately, I’m still stuck with Virgo. Although my daughter keeps trying to tell me that only people born after 2009 get the new sign dates, the rest of us are stuck with our old ones.
That's just like an Ophiuchus to say such a thing.

The Spring Equinox is slowing moving out of Pisces and into Aquarius, at a rate of 1.5 degrees per century. We are currently in the Age of Pisces, but try writing a song about that.
BTW, the start of the Age of Aquarius begins in 600 years.

No the zodiac does not work this way and somene is trying despearetly to make money. Astrology is based on not just the earth but where the stars are positioned in the sky so I say FAIL!
So is this all Ophicial?
Yep. Date, time, exact location = what stars you were born under.
If you were born on 5 September at 4:23 PM in Earlimart, California, your stars are entirely different than those of someone who was born on 5 September at 10:44 AM in WangWingWong, Peoples Repugnant Of China.
Goodbye, God. We're going to BodieWe're in the age of ophiuchus.
Slitherin!
DOAN’T YOU BE WHAT YOU AIN’T
De flower ain’t de daisy, and de melon ain’t de rose,
why is dey all so crazy to be sumpin’ else dat grows?
Jes’ stick to the place you’s planted, and do de bes’ you knows,
be de sunflower or de daisy, be de melon or de rose.
De songthrush ain’t de robin, and de catbird ain’t de jay, why is day all a-throbbin’ to outdo each other’s lay?
Jes’ sing de song God gave you, and let your heart be gay, be de songthrush or de robin, be de catbird or de jay.
Doan’t ye be what you ain’t, jes’ be what you is,
ef a man is what he isn’t, den he isn’t what he is. —
