According to a new report from the Minnesota Planetarium Society, “The moon’s gravitational pull on the earth has created a one-month bump in the star’s alignment and that could mean a change in your astrological sign.”
Oh No!
Everyone I’ve talked to has experienced a change in their sign!
Here are the new signs:
- Capricorn: Jan. 20-Feb. 16
- Aquarius: Feb. 16-March 11
- Pisces: March 11-April 18
- Aries: April 18-May 13
- Taurus: May 13-June 21
- Gemini: June 21-July 20
- Cancer: July 20-Aug. 10
- Leo: Aug. 10-Sept. 16
- Virgo: Sept. 16-Oct. 30
- Libra: Oct. 30-Nov. 23
- Scorpio: Nov. 23-Dec. 17
- Sagittarius: Dec. 17-Jan. 20
I went from being a Taurus to an Aries. From being stubborn to being hard-headed. Aren’t I a peach? 😉
I’m not particularly into astrology, though I do see characteristics from people’s signs in their personalities sometimes. I always thought my mom and sister definitely possessed the traits of a Cancer while my dad is a true Gemini… but now it’s all switched!
Sadie was all bent out of shape after her identity was changed. She’s now a Capricorn and isn’t quite sure what to make of it, so I gave her a hard-headed hug and told her everything would be alright.
New Capricorn + Aries Love
The change of my astrological sign didn’t change my typical morning routine. I still got up nice and early to hit the gym.
Today I completed 20 minutes on the elliptical, followed by a total body weights workout.
Breakfast
After getting nice and sweaty, Ryan and I took Sadie on a walk before heading home for a hot breakfast.
Sadly I am all out of my cinnamon raisin bagel thins, so I made due with a whole wheat bagelwich instead.
Friday Lunch
The bagelwich included a fried egg white and a thick layer of my favorite cream cheese. A cup o’ strawberry banana Chobani was enjoyed on the side.
Cheeeeez
Breakfast!
It was not quite as good as my bagelwich from yesterday, but it was still satisfying and delicious.
Off to work I go to get things done and grapple with my new personality.
Question of the Morning
What was your old sign? Do you think it suited you?
EDITED TO ADD: Apparently the change in signs is debatable. Click here for more info. (Thanks to Melissa, Ashley and Babycakes for this link!)

i went from aries to picses. i’m not big into horoscopes but i am kinda sad about it. i think it’s totally weird that they’re switching them around…and i love that picture you found. it really sucks for all those people who have those tattoos!
I don’t really follow horoscopes and don’t plan on it… I think it’s entertaining seeing SO many people flip out, haha! But it totally would suck if your tattoo was now meaningless – I feel bad for those who have their sign tattooed! OOPS! Haha 🙂
Enjoy your day – I love your outift and Sadies 😉
I was a Gemini and now I’m a Taurus. Weird. I’m not so into the whole astrological sign thing, but I am a total gemini – so, it was always kind of fitting! I’ll have to do some more reading on the Taurus, but I rather stick with being a Gemini.
I went from Taurus to Aries too…not so sure how I fit into that 😉
I tweeted you the link, but this actually isn’t true – yay! Check out the article on CNN today
thanks! i updated the post w/ a link!
I stayed a Leo, but my fiancée was a Leo, too (Our birthdays are only eight days apart) but now he is a Cancer. He doesn’t follow horoscopes at all, and I barely do, but we both have a lot of Leo qualities and people (those who are crazy about signs really…) give us a lot of credit for staying together this long hahaha. I honestly think it might be a little too much to wrap my head around and try to understand .. oh well. Happy Friday!
Lol I hadn’t even thought about people with their sign tattoed on them! I would be so mad! I’m not super into astrology so I’m not sure of my change from Sagittarius to Scorpio. I’m curious to look into it now though !
Your sign doesn’t change..I thought it was only for anyone born after 09 or something?
Interesting news!! I haven’t changed signs – I’m still a Leo according to your list! I think it suits me more on some days than others.
I don’t believe in astrology, Before I was aries, now I’m pisces 😀
Looks like I have good company in the newfound Capricorn department!! Aquarius is a water sign and I HATE water, so I always thought my sign didn’t suit me anyway!
I told my roommate about the switch this morning and we were laughing about how mad people were getting about it until she found out that she had switched signs. I’m one of the few that didnt change, haha. I think a lot of the traits suit me.
I was a Pisces, but apparently now Aquarius! What the heck? I was very true to my sign, but now I’m going to have to do more research on my supposedly “new sign”. HA! Have a wonderful weekend!
Being born on May 21st I was also on the cusp between taurus and gemini, but usually a gemini…. it is funny because I have traits of both the taurus and the gemini!!! Now I guess I am a 100% taurus…. I already miss being a Gemini!
I tried the Chobani Mango yogurt that you mentioned was new a few days ago and it was so totally delicious! The strawberry Banana is still my favorite but the mango was sweet and fruity just the way I like it to be!
You left out ophiuchus the new sign which is November 29- Dec 17.
I want to remain as Aries. Not ready to cross into Pisces 😀
I actually just read on CNN that this isn’t true. But I’m still a Taurus either way. Here is a link to the article: http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/01/13/no-your-zodiac-sign-hasnt-changed/?hpt=C2
thanks, ashley! i updated the post with this link.
devastating! I’m not at all into signs but I always thought the scorpio (my old sign) characteristics were so fitting. I’m afraid to look up stupid virgo stuff.
I was a Gemini and fit the personality description to a tee. Now I’m a taurus and life doesn’t make sense anymore!!
I’m a gemini and I refuse to be anything else! It’s okay, Sadie, you can still be an Aquarius.
I used to be an Aries and now I’m a Pisces. This whole sign change thing is ridunkulous!
I think I’m the only one that didn’t change… still a virgo! 🙂
I went from a Leo to a Leo heheheh
I went from Gemini to Taurus. This is unacceptable! Actually, my friend just told me that this sign change is only to NEW babies and does not change old signs. *whew*
As mentioned above, according to CNN http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/01/13/no-your-zodiac-sign-hasnt-changed/ the signs have not changed since all of us are Westerns and have all followed the tropical zodiac signs which are fixed to the seasons. So everyone is still what they always thought they were.
updated the post w/ this link. thank you!
of course, and btw I love your blog – my bf and I have been using your total body workout at the gym these past couple of weeks and love it, so thanks!!
I went from Aries to Pisces…. but apparently the signs really didn’t change.
Yeah, I was all bent out of shape last night when I learned that I’m a gemini not a cancer. Okay, that’s a lie. 😀
I find it absolutely hilarious actually, especially with the people that made the change trying to clarify that it applies to people born in 2009 on. Hmm…I don’t think those people are old enough to read or care. 😀
I love the humor you treated the “news” with. Thanks!
The new astrological sign change is only if your born after 2009 !
So your still a good ol Taurus 🙂
Don’t worry, no changes — the new set of signs only applies to people born after 2009. So everyone born before then is still the same.
I read that here and at numerous other sources:
http://www.syracuse.com/have-you-heard/index.ssf/2011/01/did_your_zodiac_sign_change_ce.html
Still though, even if it did apply to me, I would have remained a Cancer…which is totally appropriate since I am a 100% true Cancer 😀
Oops – looks like I missed your edit before posting my comment above 😉
PUH! I’m having an identity crisis.
I was a Capricorn, now I’m a Sagittarius.
I went from being responsible, ambitious, and loyal to optimistic, unemotional, independent, fun-loving, and an entertainer.
both seem to fit me, so… I guess I’ll just go with it! 🙂
what in the world! how do theyu just change your sign like that?
I was a gemini now I am a tarusus! Dag nabit! I’ll have to go see what taursus meas now! Thanks for the sientific update! 🙂
I was a sagittarious and I refuse to believe im a scorpio!
My old sign was Aries and now I’m Pisces. I don’t know what to believe. I do think I have a lot of traits of Aries. I haven’t looked into Pisces yet. So strange that the signs changed!
I’ve gone from Aries to Pisces….why change now???
here’s more info! Apparently, if it DOES exist, it only affects those who are born after 2009.
Sept 18th — I’m still a virgo! Woot!
I used to be a Libra (right on the line between libra/scorpio), but now I’m a Virgo. Huh, I always thought I matched the libra traits too.
We’ve been debating this in our newsroom today. Just for fun (in case it IS true) I’ll play the what-if game 😉 I’ve always loved being a Virgo. Virgo’s are helpful, reliable and independant. However, if I do “switch” to a Leo I wouldn’t mind that since Leo’s are known for their zest for life and warm spirit, being confident and encouraging (and maybe a bit stubborn–yep, that’s me!) It’ll be interesting to see what comes of this over the next few days, weeks, years etc.
I will always be a Libra. Although I talked to my sister and she said it wouldn’t be a big deal if I switched, because according to her I have a LOT of Virgo tendencies.
GAH! I was an Aquarius and now I’m a Capricorn..my Birthday is coming up and things are all out of whack. I am going to hibernate until the moon goes back to where it’s supposed to be 😉
I was (or still am apparently?) a Libra…but after reading the stuff for a Virgo, I think I’d like to go ahead and change 🙂 It just seems to fit me better
I went from Libra to Virgo (apparently!) and don’t think it holds true! I looked up some info. on virgo’s and it doesn’t really describe me. I’ve read up lots of things on Libras and although it doesn’t weigh heavily on my mind… the description of a Libra is far more fitting to me!
I also looked up my fiance’s (does anyone else do that? haha!) and he went from Gemini to a Taurus… which doesn’t suit him either. He’s a 2 personality gemini… to the core. 😐
I was an Aries and now I’m a Taurus, but I have to admit I’m much more of a Taurus than an Aries, so I actually don’t mind the change! 🙂
so apparently I am this: Ophiuchus
WHAT THE???
I thought it didn’t change except for those born after 2009 or something like that!
I am a lot like the Gemini characteristics so, I would wish to stay one instead of being a Taurus!
Glad it really isn’t changed. If it did, I would go from Pisces (passionate) to Aquarius (detached). That kind of change doesn’t make sense!
I went from a Cancer to a Gemini. I gotta say, the new one definitely fits my personality!
Lucky for me i’m still a Cancer…and boy, am I a Cancer through and through. HAHA!!!
Ahh I was so worked up about this yesterday!! I’m so glad that it doesn’t affect us now… but BOY was I upset… Not only was my sign bumped from my beloved Sagittarius sign, but I was bumped into that new sign that NOBODY can pronounce!!!! I even ranted about it on my blog yesterday I was so upset.
Once a Sag, always a Sag. Gotta love being a December baby!
I’m not really into horoscopes, but think they’re fun. It would put me and my boyfriend as Sagittarius, and we’re pretty much opposites. I do believe he falls more into that new category though.
