From the article
Quote:
A big part of the whole debate comes from a divide in the astrological world: tropical vs. sidereal zodiac. From Eric Francis of Planet Wave writes: "Kunkle is describing what is called the sidereal zodiac: the backdrop of the stars. It's not the zodiac used by most Western astrologers; it's the one used by Vedic astrologers, the kind in India, and a few in our part of the world. Here in the West, we use a zodiac that follows the seasons. It's called the tropical zodiac. It's based on the position of the Sun's rays and the tropics -- that's why it's called tropical."
You don't have to shift your sign to the "new". . . which really isn't new, just "in the news."

Besides, I am an Aquarius, stubborn, right in my own mind, a little quirky . . . and I refuse to be called a Capricorn!
