[sigh] I don't know why someone dug this up and pasted it all over the net, but it's old news in the astrology community, from what I can tell.
Most Eastern astrology systems use the sidereal zodiac, which changes with the precession of the equinoxes. Western astrology, however, uses tropical astrology, which does *not*. So, unless you're into Mesopotamian or Chinese astrology, your Zodiac signs *haven't* changed, especially your Sun sign, which is the one everybody reads in the newspaper.
[edit to add] Zia, I agree with you completely about divination in general[ it's an art, *not* a science. This also explains why it's so difficult to do divination for oneself; the results are skewed by our own conscious and unconscious desires and fears. I tend to laugh at most dream interpretation books, for instance.
