It all has to do with Tropical Zodiac vs. Sidereal Zodiac
In a Galaxy along long time ago...Tropical was regarded as the one for the dumbed down masses in the Western World as Sidereal was widely used from Gurus and Saints in the Eastern World.
Things have changed quite a bit since then....these are just the facts I read amongst other sites.
Sidereal Zodiac is quite older and then word Sidereal is as explained as such: it is a time-keeping system astronomers use to keep track of the direction to point their telescopes to view a given star in the night sky. From a given observation point, a star found at one location in the sky will be found at basically the same location at another night when observed at the same sidereal time. This is similar to how the time kept by a sundial can be used to find the location of the Sun. Just as the Sun and Moon appear to rise in the east and set in the west, so do the stars. Both solar time and sidereal time make use of the regularity of the Earth's rotation about its polar axis. The basic difference between the two is that solar time maintains orientation to the Sun while sidereal time maintains orientation to the stars in the night sky. The exact definition of sidereal time fixes it to the vernal equinox. Therefore sidereal time correlates closely to the inertial rotation of the Earth, whereas common time on a typical clock correlates to a slightly faster rotation, accounting not only for the Earth's axial rotation but also for the Earth's annual revolution around the Sun of roughly (slightly less than) 1 degree per day.
A sidereal day is approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes, 4.091 seconds (23.93447 hours or 0.99726957 SI days), corresponding to the time it takes for the Earth to complete one rotation relative to the vernal equinox. The vernal equinox itself precesses very slowly in a westward direction relative to the fixed stars, completing one revolution every 26,000 years approximately. As a consequence, the misnamed sidereal day, as "sidereal" is derived from the Latin sidus meaning "star", is some 0.008 seconds shorter than the Earth's period of rotation relative to the fixed stars.
Its primary feature is that the signs of the sidereal zodiac approximately align to the sky constellations of the same name. The signs therefore run between dates which are different from the tropical zodiac used by most Western astrologers.
Tropical Zodiac: Tropical astrology is a type of astrology based on a zodiac whose points of reference are the tropics. The word tropic comes from the Greek for "turning point", and originally meant the point at which the sun at sunrise and sunset appears to turn, and to move north in the northern hemisphere and south in the southern hemisphere along the horizon after the winter solstice or the opposite direction after the summer solstice.
Tropical astrology is based on the idea that early astrologers (mid-to-late first millennium BCE) defined the star signs according to the seasons in which the sun rose in them; it wishes to preserve the seasonal associations of those star signs by laying out new horoscopes against a first-millennium sky. For tropical astrologers therefore it is irrelevant that the solsticial points (tropics) have drifted from one constellation to another over the millennia, due to the precession of the equinoxes. The underlying philosophy remains unchanged in spite of precession, because it is based on the Earth's (and therefore our) relationship to the sun, not to the stars. The names of the zodiacal constellations that became the star signs are supposed to suggest the characteristics of (the sun in) each segment of the year.
In astronomy and astrology, the zodiac (Greek: ζῳδιακός, zōdiakos) is a zone extending 8 or 9 degrees on either side of the ecliptic, in which is the apparent path of the Sun, Moon, and visible planets across the celestial sphere over the course of the year. It is divided into twelve equal parts of celestial longitude called signs, such that the sun spends one month in each sign per year. The signs are named after twelve of the constellations that coincide with the ecliptic, though they no longer correspond well to them due to precession.[1] The zodiac is a celestial coordinate system, or more specifically an ecliptic coordinate system, taking the ecliptic as the origin of latitude, and the position of the sun at vernal equinox as the origin of longitude.

Uh-oh.
Anyone know what the proper etiquette for cancelling with a hitman is? I'd rather avoid confrontation- is there a way to do it online? |

Yeah, well, LOTS of things are better than an asterisk. Just look at that ing thing- 6 sided punctuation is sooo Jewish.
Now ampersands, on the other hand... |

For you a tattoo is mutilation of your body ? ::curious:: I would figure you had a couple. |

| Nono, I love tattoos. It's just the majority of them suck, and there's nothing artful about getting a zodiac symbol stamped onto you at all- nothing personal whatsoever, save for a conversation piece to lure in others with the same sign, and all the inevitable chittering that goes along with it. |
