So apparently astrology will now feature the 13th sign of the Zodiac, Ophiuchus. Plunked between Scorpio and Sagittarius. it runs from November 29th to December 17th, resulting in a knock on effect for all the other star signs. For example, I'm now Cancerian as opposed to Leo and poor Baby Jesus is now a Sagittarius instead of a Capricorn. This is ignoring the fact, of course that all astrology is complete nonsense. The idea that what happens to hundreds of millions of people every day is decided by the alignment of stars and planets that were around before there was even life on Earth is obviously preposterous. However, that doesn't prevent poor schmucks from swallowing this up like their a fat person at an all you can eat buffet.
To me, this clearly shows how stupid these hocus pocus things are. Alongside potpourri and homeopathy, astrology is probably this biggest cons in the world at the moment. Some people base their whole lives around what some bloke with a dodgy beard and a glass ball makes up in his living room. I for one hope that this maybe makes people think about what clear nonsense it all is.
