As the World Turns...

Just a few hours ago I was informed that our zodiac signs have been changed. Apparently the earth's orbit has wobbled us all out of our usual signs and into the one directly preceding them...this shouldn't bother me, I am not a particularly loyal follower of astrology, but it does...being a Virgo has, in fact become part of my identity.  The intensity with which I derided the news confounded even me.  How is it that something I only marginally adhere to could suddenly become so intrinsic in the wake of it's changing?
