Zodiac Signs

Due to the changes in the alignment of the Earth caused by the moon's gravitational pull and the addition of a new zodiac sign (Ophiucus, the serpent holder), the dates of zodiac signs have changed. Apparently this change has been going on for centuries/millenia, but it is only recently that it has been brought to light. Well, I only learned about this a few minutes ago, so it's recent for me. :))

According to the Minnesota Planetarium Society, this is the new arrangement:

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. 23-29.
Ophiuchus: Nov. 29-Dec. 17.
Sagittarius: Dec. 17-Jan. 20

That means I'm a Taurus now. I'm no longer a Gemini. :|

But let's see which suits me better. The italicized statements are my comments. :)

GEMINI

• dual personality (umm, sometimes? haha)
• changes mood from time to time (yes? :)) but not all the time!)
• hate to be tied down, but are entertaining romantic partners (so true. i love being single.)
• brains are subtle and brilliant, but lacks continuity of purpose (hmm. nope! i don't lack a continuity of purpose)
• most difficult to understand; can be hot and cold at the same moment; human puzzle (haha. i think i am! hoho)
• has sharp wit and excellent powers of observation (i'm a very excellent observer. :> i see every... wait. not everything, but i see stuff. :)) )
• makes a good raconteur, but has a tendency to exaggerate (i'm not a good storyteller!)
• excellent in diplomacy (i guess so during my high school years. i don't know now.. :P )
• has difficulty understanding what they want to achieve (hmm. i perfectly know what i want to achieve! i wanna be a doctor, superstar... nope i don't think i want to be a superstar. wait i think i don't want to be a doctor. wait, do i even want to be a doctor or a superstar? i want to be an astronaut! okay, i kid. haha. i'm gonna be a doctor.)
• natural communicators; ensures that people are not dull or mundane and will no doubt spend ages chatting to anyone about any subject (totally. i remember talking a lot to my first friends on the first day. :)) i think i told them half of my high school life already!)
• have an ability to see the weak points in those they meet (sometimes. :) )
• life of the party (erg. i don't think so. :)) i follow the life of the party. haha)
• can love passionately and yet be inconsistent. it is only their shield and diplomacy and exquisite tact that keeps them from making a mess of their lives. (how could i be inconsistent? ;;) )

• makes lasting friendships with Geminis or from September 21 to October 20-27, January 21 to February 18-27. (i dunno. i have no best friends born on those dates. xP )
• more inclined to suffer from what concerns the nervous system than anything else (i think so! OC and an over-thinker. :P )

TAURUS

• patient, practical and dedicated (kinda. xP)
• cautious when dealing with people, life, and money (not really on the money part. haha)
• curious power of domination others, even when not conscious of doing so (i dunno. i may not be conscious of doing so!)
• extremely faithful, with a strong need for security and a settled routine (yes. but i'm not faithful to my routine. :)) )
• very earthy but can be highly romantic and sensitive when it comes to love (yupsh. ;) )
• has great power of mental and physical endurance as long as excitement or determination lasts (yes, AS LONG AS EXCITEMENT OR DETERMINATION LASTS. it doesn't last long when i'm studying for certain subjects. haha)
• makes wonderful host/hostess (i don't know. never hosted anything. xP)
• have great taste in food (erg. i'm not picky. if i can eat it, i eat it. so i don't think i have a great taste in food.)
• good housekeepers (my room is soooo cleeeaaan. O.O)
• generally considered richer than they already are (hahaha. what?!)
• have good business intuition (hohoho. i make a bad businesswoman. :)) )

• kind and generous with friends; most faithful and loyal friends (yes.)
• will consider no sacrifice too great for the person they care for (yes.)
• fight with the most determined obstinacy in the open for they hate trickiness, double-dealing or deceit (who loves deceit? and i don't fight in the open. xP )

• too easily misled by their emotions, sensations, or affections (hmm. nope!)
• jealous (ahehe. a bit. xP)
• typically strong and silent, but often appear ignorant and willfully obstinate to others (naaah.)
• innate sense of harmony, rhythm, and color; often are very successful in music, poetry and art (music is <3.>
• almost all have a keen love of gardening and flowers (i love flowers, but i'm not into gardening.)
• make good, patient nurses and healers (yezz! doctah, doctah!)
• usually use force to achieve their purpose (only when i should. :P)
• warm, gentle, passionate and friendly person (i try to be. :) )
• perfectly know what they want (want in life? yes! ; want to eat, want to wear, want to buy? nope! haha)
  
• difficult for them to understand other people (nope.)
• slightly boring because of restraint and reticence (i'm so not restrained or reticent. xP )
• most lasting friendships with people born between August 21-27 and September 20-27, December 21 and January 20-27. (no best friends in that range either!)
• suffer with all things that affect the throat, nasal cavities and upper part of lungs (yes, yes, yes! always the sore throat/cough and the runny nose. tsktsk)

I got these from http://www.gotohoroscope.com/gemini-meanings.html and http://www.gotohoroscope.com/taurus-meanings.html

So what zodiac sign best suits me?

I think both. Can there be a hybrid- like a Taumini or a Gemirus? :))

But it really doesn't matter, because the stars don't define who you are and most especially don't decide who you're going to be in life. Naks. ;))
