There is now a new zodiac sign. Of course astrology is a bunch of hooey. I don’t believe even the least little bit of it but I grew up around people who, to varying degrees, did believe it and as far back as I can remember I’ve been aware that my sign is Taurus. Now, my sign might be Aries. Or does that only apply to people born after the addition of the new sign?
It doesn’t matter. I’ve never even liked my sign but it’s my sign, even if it doesn’t mean anything. This is almost like waking up one morning and finding that I have blue eyes instead of the brown that they’ve always been. Or maybe not really like that. And it’s not a bad thing at all. Aries is a much cooler sign than Taurus. Somehow I’ve always known that deep down I’m cooler than people think.

But the question remains: So what?
Never got the whole “What’s your sign” thing.

Apparently I’m a Taurus now. Well that’s nice. I have gotten more bullheaded as I’ve aged. In any case, my answer to the “what’s your sign” question has always been “closed!”

I was born under a “Hospital: Quiet Zone” sign, according to my mother, and I’m not gonna call her a liar.

I thought asking people their sign went out with mood rings and pet rocks?
I thought the new gambit question was asking people what they did for a living, as a way of divining if they made enough money to still be “worth” talking to?

When someone asks you, “What’s your sign?” that’s a sign that you need to quickly back away from that person.
