Haha, my girlfriend,
Aidenskai, just told me about the new 13th Zodiac Constellation, Ophiuchus, the Snake Annoyer. Well, haha, this will be pretty interesting considering that all the new Metal Fusion/Fight beyblades are based on Star Constellations. and knowing them, they WILL make this beyblade. I know they made one of this constellation in the V-Force series? (correct me if i was wrong). but yeah, as far as i know, they haven't made one for Ophiuchus in Metal Fusion/Fight. and haha, ALL out of humor, i would laugh hysterically if they made Ophiuchus' symbol a stick... yes, i said a stick... haha, from whati know, snakes get annoyed by sticks constantly... ok out of seriousness, yes, i believe Ophiuchus's symbol will be a man that is grasping a snake because that IS what Ophiuchus is... I may not be any astronomer but this is pretty interesting
oh, and get this:
Quote:Astronomically speaking, the zodiac is simply a way of plotting the movement of the sun against the stars behind it. When Babylonian sky-watchers thousands of years ago recorded the course of the sun in the sky for a year, they discovered that the sun moves through only a few of the dozens of charted constellations.
These constellations are the constellations of the zodiac.
so in other words, now that they discovered that the new zodiac signs, they had to squeeze in Ophiuchus in... so majority of you will have different zodiac signs:
Quote:Actual True Zodiac Signs Dates:
Pisces: March 12 to April 18
Aquarius: February 16 to March 11
Capricorn: January 19 to February 15

and for some of you who don't believe me and distrust my sources... go search it yourself... google "New zodiac sign 2011".

LOL
Basically they're saying that though this new system has come out, nothing's really changed.
Astrologers have known about the planetary shift that brought about the news of this "new" Zodiac for centuries and it was already being taken into consideration in the current, or shall I say "old" Zodiac.
Does that make any more sense?
Conversations have already been done by the way, and it really does not have anything to do with the anime or the hobby because they have already taken star signs which most of us have not heard of before (hell kerbec's, pyxis, horologium, etc.)
well, as it says in the quote "the zodiac is simply a way of plotting the movement of the sun against the stars behind it." so in simple words, the star constellation "Ophiuchus" just so happen to be behind the sun during November 23 to December 17? idk... i'm no astronomer... this is all new to me.... o.O

yeah... well, i'm pretty sure if they are going to make the beyblade, they're going to put it in the anime somehow... and where are these conversations? I tried googling and surfing the WBO... i couldn't find such discussions specifically for Ophiuchus...
And the reason y they're using the other star signs was because they plan on expanding the way Beyblade plays. Like how there are countless combinations due to the growing amount of new and unique parts, they would obviously have Ophiuchus on they're "to do" list. plus, they did not know Ophiuchus would suddenly become a zodiac sign. It's very unexpected. and i'm just thinking... what would it's fusion wheel be for Ophiuchus?
This was discussed in the Random Thoughts topic and I think in the end it was just false anyway.
