:I was sorely tempted to add this in myself, as a reference, but I thought I'd do the 'wholesome' stuff first, and only just decided to stop adding/changing my submissions for a while in case I'm causing other people some edit-conflicts. (Someone may also want to wikilink the named constellations, perhaps say something about the greek-letter 'numbering' of constituent stars of a constellation that would run out of subsidiary names in this meta-constellation, etc, which are other things I was thinking about.) So, if you really feel like it needs mentioning, you are of course at liberty to fill your boots accordingly.

This could be referencing how NASA recently mentioned a 13th start sign Ophiuchus, https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/starfinder2/en/ especially because it is placed prior to Scorpio/Libra/Virgo/Leo | This could be referencing how NASA recently mentioned a 13th start sign Ophiuchus, https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/starfinder2/en/ especially because it is placed prior to Scorpio/Libra/Virgo/Leo | ||

:Ah, you beat me to it! As a teenager (sometime in the last century), I volunteered at a planetarium in New York City (no, not ''that'' one), where I learned the names of the stars in the claws of Scorpius that were cut off by the IAU and "given" to Libra.

It'd not be inconceivable to add a "Munroe Id" field to every electronic database and treat the 'old' ß-Leonis as non-classification name like Denebola, but it's a fuss that has no real advantages compared to the effort of the undertaking. |

So if you merge them, this new sign (built up of air, earth fire ''and'' water signs, what is it now... a ventilation brick?) now has to encompass ~25% of people (rather than ~8.3% of everybody, as now) and, at least at the upper levels of astrological 'calculation', has the same planets influencing all of them equally, meaning far more people finding it simultaneously profitable to look for a new job/love, take care of their money/health, share/retain an unspecified secret, etc. And they'd have to pad out the columns in the paper with nine (or four?) star-signs in the space they once had twelve. Probably have to tack on some totally nonsensical cold-reading generic bullshit, or something! |
:But how to say this neatly in the Explanation, that which aint already there, I wouldn't know.
