                The dawn of 2011 has brought in a new addition to the group of sun signs. The newest sign in the sun sign table is Ophiuchus. Infants who are born after January 2011, will have the above assigned sun signs according to their date of birth. For those who are born prior to 2011, will have the same sun signs which they have been following for all these years.
                But seriously, I don’t fuckin’ care if there are 12 or 13 or even a hundred sun signs. I don’t believe in stuff called horoscope. Yes, I do check my horoscope if I see it in a magazine or a newspaper but I’m not that kinda person who will buy a newspaper especially to check his horoscope.
Well, till 2010, I was a Scorpio but as 2011 dawned, the Earth’s axis shifted and we all experienced a mild tremor and our sun signs changed. I’m a Libra now. As far as my behavioral traits are concerned, anyone with a little knowledge of horoscope will tell you that I’m a Scorpio. But now with the change in Earth’s axis and alignment, only my sun sign has changed. I don’t think my behavior is gonna change due to the change in Earth’s inclination.
                Of course, there is a super power that controls all of us but I think we should have faith in ourselves as well. These sun signs and stuff is for the weak who don’t believe in themselves.
