Because of Ophicius, do you believe that you're not the sign you really are?!
Question: I'm just wondering. I think it's bullshit. I'm a Capricorn and i'm nothing like a Sagittarius. I don't know why, but it just makes me angry how suddenly there's this new Star Sign called OPHICIUS and we're supposed to believe that we're actually a different star sign?! Does Ophicius even have any personality traits?! If so, can some one please tell me?

I've answered this pretty much the same way.
It's a numbers game.
According to the boundaries for the constellations adopted by the International Astronomical Union in 1921, there are 13 signs of the zodiac instead of the usual 12; time from Ophiuchus the snake handler is usually included in time given to Scorpius. If you already know your astrological sign from reading an astrology column in a newspaper or from consultation with an astrologer, you may be surprised that few of these dates correspond to the dates listed in the newspaper's astrological column. Why? Generally, listed astrological signs and the dates given by most astrologers assume that you were born around 140 AD.
Even without counting Ophiuchus, the zodiac is off about one full sign. Precession of the equinox is the reason. (See link.) Constellations are of different sizes. Some take up more area than others but astrologers decided to make it 12 more or less even number of days.
The number 12 is favored because it is easy to divide. The four "elements" are alternated evenly. So do the Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable modes alternate. 13 is a prime number so that would mess a lot of things up. Having one less sign can't work since 11 is a prime number too.
Pluto was not discovered for another nine years. It took a little while to make up attributes and be accepted by astrologers. But adding a sign is big trouble. Only when there is an advantage does astrology change.
I am a Virgo and the traits cannot be changed just because there is a new sign!
I AM WHAT I AM!!!!!!!
