Ophiuchus Christmas is my two front teeth.

All I could think of is something about Ron Howard.

I know but the modern tradition ,like for a couple thousand years ,has been the TWELVE signs of the zodiac.

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?

Yep, I've always suspected I ain't who I are!

Is you is, or is you ain't

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.

This is earthshaking (no pun unintended!) I mean, everything you know is wrong! It also explains much of human history. Finally. Why did Napoleon lose at Waterloo? Hitler under Stalingrad? Daddy Bush in '92? Why did Paul McCartney die in 1969? Why does Pink Floyd suck pseudo-artistic pretension? It's a great big AHA! Or, if you prefer, D'UH!

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.

Oh well, not going to affect me in any way......

That's just like an Ophiuchus to say such a thing.

Pity the people born under the new sign. Let's be modern and call it the Obama sign. Ophiuchus is a large constellation located around the celestial equator. Its name is Greek (Ὀφιοῦχος) for 'serpent-bearer', and it is commonly represented as a man grasping the snake that is represented by the constellation Serpens. Serpent-bearer. Sounds like Barry to me. Fitting that it should show itself now.

That's because we're in the dawning of the age of Aquarius.

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!

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.

I looked it up. From Wikipedia Ophiuchus is a large constellation located around the celestial equator. Its name is Greek (Ὀφιοῦχος) for 'serpent-bearer',

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. —
