The Zodiac did not change!

Over the last week, there has been much talk about the Zodiac being adjusted, with a 13th sign added in. If you want to look into that new system, fine, but be it known that the Zodiac hasn't changed. Not at all. Has the alignment of the stars changed? yeah. does it matter? NO. No it does not. Your horoscope is not affected.

Lets split that last sentence into two camps. The first is for those who don't believe in the Zodiac anyways. For them, it doesn't matter if they change it, they don't care to begin with. Now, we have the other camp, the ones who believe in the Zodiac. Maybe not all believe their future is in the stars, but to generalize traits based on when a person is born is no less rational than calling all 'gingers' crazy and evil, or left-handers to be eccentric and artistic, or even the system in Japan that I won't even pretend to understand where blood type is a big deal to them. (I know a number of red heads, and yeah, I have seen the temper on some of them, but that doesn't mean all the ones I know are ticking time bombs. I am left handed, which can be a pain in the ass at times, and if that makes lefties seem crazy, well, you try having scissors that won't cut paper unless you put them in the hand you don't use.)

Now, if you believe that the horoscope works, then you might be worried. But remember, if it worked when you were 10, or even last month, why would it be screwed up now? The answer to that lays in where the power of the Zodiac comes from.

This is a simple concept really, and we see the fabric of it in Hinduism. Here we have the idea of Maya, the great illusion. I included a link to a book on Amazon that explains this in another, complimentary, way. We believe the rules of our world because we agree with them, and know them. We believe you open doors to walk through, that we need to be at a certain level of warmth to be comfortable, and so on. That the Zodiac works is hidden here. It works because the world mind, the Maya (not to be confused with the Mayan people of South America) shows it working.

What does this really mean though? It means that until the world agrees the new system will usurp the old (and there is resistance) your Horoscope is no different than had the news story ever gained such a widespread following. You will be a Aries, or a Leo, or whatever you were until the day you die. Your kids, they may have a choice, but either one they pick will still give them accurate (or as accurate as any horoscope ever is) information. If that is hard for you to accept at first, think of this. What do you consider yourself? Perhaps you think you are an American, but few ever really say American as their heritage. You still hear people talk of being German or Chinese, even if their families have been in the US for 5 generations. Often, even the family that was German wasn't even there for more than a generation, or even sometimes the families left that region when it was still part of the Ottoman Empire. Such is the nature of the Maya.
