[quote=The Star Tribune]A recent Harris Poll found that 31 percent of Americans believe in astrology. They're wrong -- although not necessarily in the way their detractors might cite. The ancient Babylonians based zodiac signs on the constellation the sun was "in" on the day a person was born. During the ensuing millenniums, the moon's gravitational pull has made the Earth "wobble" around its axis, creating about a one-month bump in the stars' alignment. The result? "When [astrologers] say that the sun is in Pisces, it's really not in Pisces," said Parke Kunkle, a board member of the Minnesota Planetarium Society. Indeed, most horoscope readers who consider themselves Pisces are actually Aquarians. So instead of being sensitive, humane and idealistic, they actually are friendly, loyal and inventive. Or not. There is no physical connection between constellations and personality traits, said Kunkle, who teaches astronomy at Minneapolis Community and Technical College. "Sure, we can connect harvest to the stars," he said. "But personality? No." Astronomers have pooh-poohed astrology from the get-go, but Kunkle hedged when asked if astrology can bring people to his science. "Historically, people looked at the sky to understand the world around us," he said. "But today I don't think people who are into astrology look at the sky very much." But they do look at horoscopes. And now they have an explanation for why a day might not have turned out exactly as predicted.[/quote] [URL="http://www.startribune.com/lifestyle/style/113100139.html?elr=KArksUUUoDEy3LGDiO7aiU"]Source[/URL].

It's not retroactive. More clearly, it depends which camp you fall into. Some astrologists believe that changes such as these ones take effect over all current and past individuals, while other astrologists believe that it only affects ones that have been recently born.

My ex had a book on this stuff, she looked up shit all day and tried to relate it to daily life, if I did anything she read in the book she'd get snobby and say "That's such a typical scorpio thing to do" drove me insane sometimes.
[quote]Update: Well, strike that, you don't get to switch your sign. At least reader StarJack says so: "The stars are markers that drift, but our main points of reference are not directly the stars. They are the equinoxes (both spring and vernal) and the solstices which altogether make the four cardinal points of the zodiac which in turn determine the signs. The stars help us locate those points which define the SIGNS of the Zodiac which remain constant in relation to the equinox point. The CONSTELLATIONS do move about and we take that into consideration when locating planets."[/quote] somebody said this I don't know

Fuck I still count myself as a Sagittarius.
