Snake-wranglin' in the sky

Much as I'm pretty happy following the tropical zodiac, just like always, I'm kinda amused to have some association with this "extra" sign, Ophiuchus the Snake-Wrangler. If I'd ever actually gotten the caduceus tattoo at the small of my back that I've been talking about for years, I'd be spot on now.

Has anyone seen anyone positing anything about what my personality is like now?

It's a hoax. It's not new, and your sign hasn't changed.

Oh, I know. :) I'm a witchy scientist type, really.

It's not a hoax per se, but it's irrelevant to the Western (tropical) Zodiac and yes, been happening over the last hundreds of years, and you can trivially pull up web discussions back to 2006 or so.

But I'm still wondering what associations the media are going to add about it, given this week's brouhaha.

If I ever believed in that stuff the 'new' stuff is completely and utterly not like me not in the tiniest bit. Not that I'm so terribly obviously Aquarius, I'm just not even close to Capricorn.

Here's the article I found:
http://www.worldnewsinsight.com/ophiuchus-traits-traits-peculiar-to-an-ophiuchus/4066/

It actually fits me a bit better than Saggitarius, but I've never actually believed in astrology.
