Leo or Virgo?

Over the last few days, a news story about how a new Zodiac sign has been discovered by the NASA scientists, because of which the Zodiac chart will undergo a change, has been doing the rounds. If this is true, then the Zodiac signs of a huge number of people should change. I, for one, who is quite a Zodiac aficionado, upon hearing the news, instantly took to assuming that all my existing personality traits would cease to remain the same.

Having been born a Virgo, a number of characteristics typical to this Zodiac sign have, over a period of time, started to seem relatable to me. And a handful of the traits that I have refused to assume the ownership of and have vehemently rejected have now faded away into oblivion, as far as I'm concerned. The perfection that a Virgo is associated with is one of the handful qualities that I'm still trying to contend with. Amidst all the ongoing struggle and being on the cusp of claiming to be a true Virgo, i wish to disprove the changed Zodiac chart. So much so that even before finding out the personality traits and qualities of a Leo, I, in no uncertain terms negated and dissociated myself from every quality that a Leo is known to possess. Until some time back, I was torn between my sun sign and moon sign. The reason being that every time I would beg to differ with a certain point or statement mentioned about my sun sign, I would switch over to my moon sign and find solace, while looking for qualities that, I think, describe me perfectly well. On the one hand, if a Virgo woman is known to be a nitpicker, who is known for her subdued charm and grace as much as for being usually detached, a Leo woman is known to be akin to a lioness; larger-than-life and extravagant.

Recently, I read an article in a leading news daily, that spoke about how some avid followers of Zodiac signs, after hearing about the apparent change in the Zodiac chart, have already believed that their trajectories are going to change and that their lives have started to look aimless. I, on the other hand, turned to the most reliable news sources to obtain the correct information, and at the same time thought about what to make of my Virgo-symbol tattoo. My tattoo, a replication of one of the Virgo symbols, has often been mistaken for my initials. As much as I shirked, before, every time someone pointed to my tattoo and linked it to my initials, the threat of having to sport an incorrect tattoo, and in my case, an obsolete one, made me rethink about what my tattoo actually signifies. A Leo woman, who is often known to embody a dramatic personality and talks nineteen to the dozen, is a far cry from a Virgo woman. But, till the time I don't get a final update on the status of the zodiac chart, for my sanity, I'm going to try and fit into the character of a Leo woman, in the ways that I can, just so that I can refer to them as an extension of my personality, if the need arises.

Till now I have played quite a safe game when it came to switching roles between being a zodiac fiend and thinking of zodiac signs to be nothing more than a mere past-time, with consummate ease. I have reached a stage where I've almost decided that the signs that are supposed to be good matches for a Virgo woman are actually going to be the ones that I'm going to turn to, and will form a proud association with whoever is in possession of those signs. On a positive note, I think I should, now, also consider the signs that supposed to be good matches for a Leo, along with those that are compatible to a Virgo, so that I can experience the best of both worlds and get to choose from a wider range of sun signs, while looking for a match for myself. Or better still, get a Leo-symbol tattoo.
