Astronomers suggest an overhaul in the process of defining horoscope on the basis of one’s birth date as the earth’s position vis-a-vis the sun and other stars has changed since the astrological signs were determined over 2,000 years ago.

Apart from the existing 12 astrological signs, the experts include a 13th sign Ophiuchus, a formation which the ancient Babylonians discarded because they wanted 12 star signs.

From 2011 onwards, the 13th sign has been revealed….which is called Ophiuchus.So what is Ophiuchus? Ophiuchus is like a snake like being..a healer, and also a person which a lot of people hates of. This sign is related to people who leaves home in a young age, love bright colors and was always in love with fashion. This sign is also a seeker of wisdom and knowledge.

Our Sun Sign has changed to the one immediately prior to it or even worse suddenly there is a new Zodiac intruder in the form of a 13th Zodiac sign with the weird name “Ophiuchus” and who wants to be born in a Sun Sign with a name like that? I don’t think so. For one, the moment and place in the heavens where Earth was at your birth has not changed. In fact, nothing has changed but someones view of all this. Are we allowed to look at an elephant from different views? Yes we are, and some of those views might not even be all that elegant. We have the same problem here. Lets look at these two claims, the first that your Sun Sign at birth has somehow slid back to the sign before it. In other words I am a Cancer/Gemini Sun Sign and not a truly Gemini Sun Sign. And the second claim is that there is actually a 13th (lucky number?) Sun Sign to be wedged into the zodiac pie, making each sign in the circle have less width.

As you know, astrologers used the common thing to calculate this by naming is “Tropical Zodiac”. It is true that zero degrees of the Tropical Zodiac sign Aries has gradually shifted backward a tiny bit each year against the backdrop of the actual constellations in the sky. This effect is called precession. The length of time required for the Earth to swing its axis in a full circle backward through the zodiac is a period of about 25,800 yrs. It therefore takes a little over 2,000 years to precess or move backward through one entire Sun Sign. This is the basis for the” Great Ages.” We are now near the end of the Age of Pisces which began around the time of Christ and near the beginning of the Age of Aquarius.

Another way to calculate is Sidereal Zodiac, which is much more complicated because of the exact calculation of the space and Earth is.

Here is the blend of the Horoscope zodiac and what astrologers says it should be:

ARIES = APRIL 19 – MAY 13
TAURUS = MAY 14 – JUNE 19
GEMINI = JUNE 20 – JULY 20
CANCER = JULY 21 – AUG 9
LEO = AUGUST 10 – SEPTEMBER 15
VIRGO = SEPTEMBER 16 – OCTOBER 30
LIBRA = OCTOBER 31 – NOVEMBER 22
SCORPIO = NOVEMBER 23 – NOVEMBER 29
OPHIUCHUS = NOVEMBER 30 – DECEMBER 17
SAGITTARIUS = DECEMBER 18 – JANUARY 18
CAPRICORN = JANUARY 19 – FEBRUARY 15
AQUARIUS = FEBRUARY 16 – MARCH 11
PISCES = MARCH 12 – APRIL 18

Shocked? Yes, I am shocked too, depends on what you want it to be…and as the more deeper I research on, I realized that the Earth changes and the  axis also changed….so If you inserted Ophiuchus into it.

And if you were based on the Sidereal Zodiac, the list below is for people who were born before 1990.

ARIES = APRIL 19 – MAY 13
TAURUS = MAY 14 – JUNE 19
GEMINI = JUNE 20 – JULY 20
CANCER = JULY 21 – AUG 9
LEO = AUGUST 10 – SEPTEMBER 15
VIRGO = SEPTEMBER 16 – OCTOBER 30
LIBRA = OCTOBER 31 – NOVEMBER 22
SCORPIO = NOVEMBER 23 – NOVEMBER 29
OPHIUCHUS = NOVEMBER 30 – DECEMBER 17
SAGITTARIUS = DECEMBER 18 – JANUARY 18
CAPRICORN = JANUARY 19 – FEBRUARY 15
AQUARIUS = FEBRUARY 16 – MARCH 11
PISCES = MARCH 12 – APRIL 18

The following Sidereal Zodiac below is for children born beginning 1990:

AQUARIUS March 26 – April 18
PISCES April 19 – May 26
ARIES May 27 – June 20
TAURUS June 21 – July 27
GEMINI July 28 – August 27
CANCER August 28 – September 17
LEO September 18 – October 24
VIRGO October 25 – December 9
LIBRA December 10 – January 1
SCORPIO January 2 – January 8
OPHIUCHUS January 9 – January 26
SAGITTARIUS January 27 – February 27
CAPRICORN February 28 – March 25

Summary:
It depends on you on how you want to accept this or not…and this snake like symbol, it depends….

Last year, I’ve heard of numerous news of Facebook accounts being hijacked or hacked. Although Facebook privacy is strong, but it attracted lots of hackers and hijackers to continuously hack someone’s account and manipulate the accounts in Facebook or other sites such as Twitter.

Facebook, Twitter and other famous site is the Hacker’s new TARGET in the 21th Century…since the last decade, many social networking sites and microblogging sites have appeared and people use it to connect with other people with just a touch on the mobile screen!

By the end of the year of 2010, many Facebook users from Malaysia was being hacked and well, my dad (Who is also one of the users in Facebook) is one of the victims to the treat.  I just want to say that “THINK BEFORE YOU POST“. Don’t blame Facebook or Twitter for making your life miserable, there are millions of users worldwide in the internet world, and definitely someone will stalk on you…so becarefull.

Today while I was drawing random sketches, suddenly I remembered a short story told from an old friend….he was a Christian, this story was told to me 9 years ago, when I am still young, still fresh, untamed and still have much to learn…

That story reflected me and I quickly draw in a piece of paper and wrote the story…I remembered a boy, God or Jesus and the Cross…..then I just get my pencil and then I sketch and draw….after I finished my art piece. I showed my short story to Annie, and she told me that she had a similar story which was shown on Youtube…and yes, I looked and searched for it and finally I’ve found it.

This story has been passed down from many churches to many churches and I am glad to be able to listen to this story =)

Have Faith and don’t give up =)

It was 5 days before Patrick’s Birthday, “Paaaattttrrrriiikkk Kor!” Alice shouted, while running towards Patrick. Alice was just a new friend to Patrick, they meet each other accidentally through Church, they got more closer through social networking and they often call each other brothers and sister and it was only 4 months since they’ve met.They promised to meet each other at one spot after lectures.

That day, Alice asked Patrick: “Hey Patrick, your birthday is 5 days to go! What present would you like me to give? Tell me or else I’ll give you nothing!”. Looking at Alice, he suddenly turned silent….a few seconds later he smiled and replied:”Hmm…try you guess?”. With minor frustration…Alice hit him softly and yelled at him:”Yeeerrrr, tell me leh…I lazy to think wor…”.Patrick then say to her:” Let’s msn tonight, I will tell you.”. “Promise oh, don’t throw airplane!”replied Alice.”I will, Alice”..

That night, they meet up at msn…and Alice was the first to nudge him first…but Patrick didn’t reply…Alice was a little angry. After 45 minutes of waiting, Alice’s  Iphone was ringing, It was Patrick. She answered.

Alice: “Patrick?!! Where are you?You promised that we want to chat tonight right?”
Patrick:” Yes..and here is my answer?”
Alice :” Huh? Why do you need to call me? Why don’t we just chat at..”

Patrick cut the conversation

Patrick:” What I want for my birthday is not about presents.I want to ask a silly question”

Alice:” ….erm…ok? Tell me…”

Patrick:” Can you be my girlfriend for just one day?”

Alice (Shocked):” Huh? you’r kidding me?”

Patrick:” Nope I am not kidding”

Alice (After thinking through): “hmm…a strange request, okay then, I’ll be your girlfriend for one day then, since I won;t have to spend a single cent on you, haha”

Patrick:” So can we meet tomorrow? Since tomorrow is Saturday”

Alice:” Woah, that’s quick! not on your birthday? but since it’s your request, ok then, see you tomorrow….what time?”

Patrick:” Same time, same place, thank you very much, Alice”

After that call, Alice’s head was full of questions but she wouldn’t bother..

The next day,they met at the place as promised, and they really acted as they were couples, they went to cinemas, they went to the fun fair, they even walk by the esplanade holding hands…they took a lot of photos and both of them were having a great time. On that evening, Patrick hand her a note and he told her not to open only during his birthday, she was shocked but she promised him.That night at Alice’s doorstep, Patrick kissed her on her forehead, and she turned red, and she thanked Patrick with a shy tone. “No, should be me should be saying thank you, if only this day would be longer and lasts forever….anyways, you better get in! Or else I will shout dirty Alice!”. “Ahhhh, u make me beh tahan d! haha, ok lo~ see you!Good night and take care” Alice replied.

The next day….Patrick was nowhere to be seen and even his msn and Facebook was not updated. She wonders where he could have been. She felt angry for him not showing up….she tried to sms him but he did not reply, she called and the same results came to her….she was disappointed…

On the day of Patrick’s Birthday, Alice mom received a phone call and she immediately ran into her room. Patrick was diagnosed with Brain Cancer and just passed away. Alice was shocked and she couldn’t believe the news she received…immediately she remembered the note that Patrick gave her 4 days earlier…she quickly looked for it, and she quickly opens it and here is what written:

” Dear Alice,

When you read this note means today is my Birthday, I am very sorry that I could not celebrate my birthday today with you and I might be now at somewhere else watching you…

Do you remember? When we are at church, I used to work as a choreographer and a photographer and when I captured a photo of you, you often used your two hands to block my view from capturing you.And here it is, I saw you, sitting right there, a quiet, but interesting girl.At first I taught you were the hardest girl to be in my photos, and I tried all the available methods and skills just to get you. Finally you called me kor because I always pat your head and disturb you at social networking…those were the precious moments.

You may have been looking me, and asking where I went and why I didn’t go the Church, I didn’t meant to run away from you. I am sorry for not telling you..

Thank you for giving me the chance to be your boyfriend. Although it was just one day, but this is what I always wanted for my birthday present. I may be very selfish but I want to tell you that…”I love you”.I was thinking to myself that night that I should have said that with you, so I could be with you. And I am crying because my days were getting closer and closer..but you, taught me to be brave and to appreciate life and your smile in my photos always gave me warmth.

From then on and forever, you were my source of inspiration. You showed me how to love life and live to the fullest. With your simplicity and honesty, you showed me a world full of love and caring. And you made me realize that the most important thing in this life is to continue loving without asking why or how and without setting any limit.And I will miss you. I may be not there to pat you everyday again but I will still sit and talk about the good and bad times we have.

I will always remember, your face, your smile. I will always remember You

Thank you, Alice.

With love,
Patrick”

Tears flowed out from Alice’s eyes…
