Sign, sign, everywhere a sign...but what is it?
By Natalie J. Ostgaard Crookston Daily Times Jan 14, 2011
The scientists have spoken. First they demote Pluto, the little blob of mass that everyone had ingrained in them since kindergarten as the ninth planet in our solar system, to a mere dwarf. Now they're looking at revamping the whole astrological system into something that's sure thoroughly confuse people all around the globe, putting into question which zodiac sign a person truly falls under.
It's the end of the world as we knew it.
Hot off the tweets and blogs comes the big announcement Thursday from Minnesota Astronomer Parke Kunkle that due to precession – the moon causing the earth to wobble on its axis and gradually shift in orientation with the sun – that took over the last few thousand years, the astrological signage set in stone by ancient Greeks and Babylonians no longer applies and hasn't since around the time Christ was said to be born. The scientists maintain that this realignment of the planets necessitates a 13th sign, Ophiucus, into the mix.
With the new system, Ophiucus is squeezed into the November/December spot between Scorpio and Sagittarius. Anytime you add something to an already established calendar consisting of 365 days in 12 months, you're going to have to do some adjusting to compensate. Hence, the new signs/date ranges: Most are moved up about a month, so, for example, Pisces, instead of falling in the mid-February to mid-March range is now in the March to April range.
It's not quite that simple, though. Some signs, like Virgo, encompass a much longer range of days than before while others, especially Scorpio with only a week, are shortchanged. Only a select few people who are apparently born on lucky days retain their same signs in the new configuration.
Over the past 24 hours, the electronic media has been overloaded with cries of angst. True believers, who make up about a quarter of the population, are upset about the prospect that the sign they'd come to love and respect as their own is no longer theirs, their personality traits being different than once thought and having to nix their partner because he/she is no longer compatible, sign-wise. Even those who don't take it all seriously but still read their horoscopes from time-to-time and proudly proclaim “Sagittarius” or “Capricorn” when asked their sign is are in an uproar about having to change it. Which daily prediction is a person to follow?
So who will prevail in the battle between science and this pseudoscience/superstition? Signs point to the latter. The general consensus among high-profile astrologers is that the scientists who have come up with this theory are just trying to discredit astrology, that their practices are based on a combination of things such as mythology in addition to science. These things have actually been silently debated among both communities for centuries, but in the age of Facebook and Twitter, Knunkle has managed to garner 15 minutes of fame surrounding the controversy.
The thinking here is that no one should rush to get rid of all the jewelry, knick-knacks and tattoos depicting their “old” zodiac signs. Ophiucus has too many strikes against him to become a popular sign, what with being the serpent-bearer (nobody wants to be a snake) and slashing Scorpio's population hold. Maybe in the next century or two, after the inevitable technology tank out, the scientific and astrological communities will settle for a compromise that pleases almost everyone.
Then again, if you've never liked your sign, this is the perfect chance to change it.

Artist(Band):Bob Dylan
Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

What did watchmen do in Bible times?
According to Bible prophecy... we are living in the "end time" of man's rule on earth. In that regard, we are still in "Bible times."
And the purpose of a "watchman" is still the same. A watchman is a guard... a "SENTRY."
He's on patrol watching for danger... for the approach of enemies [from without or from within]. And if he stays awake on sentry duty and spots danger or the enemy approaching... his job is to "sound the alarm"... warn and alert his people to it, so that they might prepare for it and repel it.
"Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the House of Israel: therefore hear the Word at My mouth, and GIVE THEM WARNING FROM ME." (Ezek.3:17)
"...set him for their watchman: if when he seeth the sword [war] come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and WARN THE PEOPLE..." (Ezek.33:2-3).

They mention Lea Michele -- Born August 29, Virgo ... would have been a Leo
Story image includes: Christina Aguilera -- Born December 18, Sagittarius ... would have been an Ophiuchus
Natalie Portman and Johnny Depp – Both Born June 9, Gemini ... would have been a Taurus
…Sign of twins has changed to Taurus, considered a negative sign, ruled by Venus.
Could be
And I also thought of Prince's "Sign Of The Times"

Then of the 12 sons of Israel. Joseph the favorite has two sons Ephraim and Manasseh, who replace his part, bringing the number of inheritances to 13. This link explains the number 13 in Bible context very well. "13 is a symbolic number that represents God's chosen bloodline and His chosen people!!!" He also includes the 13 original United States which is IMO part of the counterfeit but who knows.

When I heard the news about the change in Zodiac Signs last week, we were discussing it at work if it had to do with the planets lining up and that caused the wobble. But I was wondering when someone would post about it. It certainly connects with endtimes, and "the powers of the heavens will be shaken" kinda thing. These are interesting times, just like DD said.
