In two short weeks, I will be 70 years old. And, believe me, that’s old. My entire life, I have been a Leo, but not any more. Why? Because they’ve added a 13th sign to the zodiac calendar! That’s right. You can read it here:
What are the new dates?
Capricorn: January 20th to February 16th
Aquarius: February 16th to March 11th
Pisces: March 11th to April 18th
Aries: April 18th to May 13th
Taurus: May 13th to June 21st
Gemini: June 21st to July 20th
Cancer:July 20th to August 10th
Leo: August 10th to September 16th
Virgo: September 16th to October 30th
Libra: October 30th to November 23rd
Scorpio: November 23rd to November 29th
Ophiuchus: November 29th to December 17th
Sagittarius: December 17th to January 20th
Ophiuchus–that’s a mouthful to say! The 13th constellation is symbolised by a man with a snake. On a Zodiac wheel, it sits between Sagittarius and Scorpio. Apparently those born under the sign have a great sense of humour, eagerness to learn, and a strong attachment to family life.
Now the first thing that struck me is that Scorpio is now a rare breed with only a 7 day period. The second thing that struck me Is that I am now Cancer.
Strengths: Tenacious, highly imaginative, loyal, emotional, sympathetic, persuasive
Weaknesses: Moody, pessimistic, suspicious, manipulative, insecure
Cancer likes: Art, home-based hobbies, relaxing near or in water, helping loved ones, a good meal with friends
Cancer dislikes: Strangers, any criticism of Mom, revealing of personal life
For all of my life, I was Leo
Strengths: Creative, passionate, generous, warm-hearted, cheerful, humorous
Weaknesses: Arrogant, stubborn, self-centered, lazy, inflexible
Leo likes: Theater, taking holidays, being admired, expensive things, bright colors, fun with friends
Leo dislikes: Being ignored, facing difficult reality, not being treated like a king or queen
The red symbolizes traits I see in me, so I’m a little of both, I guess.
Now that I look at the two together, I see I really do have more cancer qualities than Leo ones.
If tenacious means stubborn, then that’s definitely me. As a writer I have certainly proven to be highly imaginative. I am loyal, emotional, sympathetic, but not sure how persuasive I really am. As for faults, I am definitely moody, pessimistic, suspicious, and insecure, but I don’t see me as manipulative.
What about you? Did you get to stay in the same zodiac, or have you moved as I have?
