Zodiac

I read an article a few months ago about the Zodiac changing because of the stars moving. If you were born supposedly a Libra, better start looking at Virgo, because that's the actual constellation in which you were born.

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. (Here's a bit about this new constellation, a man wrestling a serpent)
Sagittarius: Dec. 17-Jan. 20.


I know it's all over the internet now, but I was using StumbleUpon and I happened across it maybe three months ago, and it was this pretty cool website where you'd plug in your full birthday (month/day/year) and it would calculate if your sign changed or not, and then it would give a detailed explanation as to why or why not. This is the closest thing I could find to that: didmyzodiacchange.com
It'll take you here if you click to learn more, but all that's here is a comparisson between the "older" and "newer" zodiac.

And then there's this article, which goes a little more in depth than most other articles I've seen: Voices.washingtonpost.com
I think I like this link better, because it delves in deep about the changing of the signs. The other site just explained everything on the surface.


Really though, I don't understand the big hype about it. The only reason I'm writing this is because I find the science and history behind it fascinating.
The way I see it, it's not going to change who you are or what your day is going to be like. My zodiac predictions were never correct to begin with.

"Rest assured, though, your horoscopes will not change as scientists have known about this change since 500 B.C. Tarot.com astrologer Jeff Jawer says, 'Western astrology is based on equinoxes, so if you were a Cancer last week -- you're still a Cancer'" - Syracuse.com

Leaves

I feel like I'm flipping as much as leaves do as they flutter to the floor. No, I am not bipolar; I'm not talking about my emotions, thank you very much! I'm talking about what I want.

Tonight I was a falling leaf with cookie dough. To eat - or not to eat... That is the question! Cookie dough is the key to my heart, I'm telling you right now. Give me some cookie dough and you're set for life!

Oh if only cookie dough were the most of my falling leaves! For the moment, I'll let it be. Tomorrow morning - that's when I'll accept the more difficult leaves... Like finals I'm not prepared for.


Wish me luck,
L.

I suppose this is just the inside of my mind for whenever I feel like updating. I have the Letters to the President blog, but that's for specifics. This is just a bit of everything.

My parents made blogs before I did. Just like they both had their own facebook pages before I did.
I'm not a 21st Century child, it would seem.



I just got back from Travis's going-away party. I don't want him to leave... I won't have any contact with him until late April. He won't be his own person until the same day. He will be a number, a recruit, and nothing more.

I met a bunch of his real family (I say "real family" because he calls me his sister, my dad his father, my mom his mom and my brother his brother, but we are not blood-related to him) at his party. They're all very brilliant, nice people. I also met his recruiter. She's young, probably no more than two years older than Trav. But she's really nice. I tried to be mad at her, but it was futile from the start. I liked her as soon as she and I were introduced.

My parents laughed when I told them that.

Travis's grandmother is going to be at my graduation. I hope I get to see her more than I have since Trav graduated; I only really saw her at my brother and Trav's football games. Now that there aren't any more games for the boys, I don't get to see her often. She's a sweet woman, right down to her core.

Anyway.
It's getting late and I desperately need to study for finals (yaaayyyyy...) so.


Having completed my random thought, this is L. signing off!
