Why Only 8 Zodiac Signs? Most people are used to seeing 12 zodiac signs (you know, Capricorn, Gemini, and so on). So why do Mormons have 8 and not 12? It's a common question, so here's a few reasons: 1. "Peculiar" is a TrophyMormons take pride in being a “peculiar people”. It’s a badge of honor! We are counseled to live in the world, but not of the world. Does wearing special underwear make logical sense? Does not drinking coffee provide any health benefits? Did polygamy seem normal? Of course not! Mormons aren’t supposed to “seem normal”, and neither should our zodiac. 2. "Doubt Your Doubts"We shouldn’t question what god says. His ways are higher than our ways, and stuff. If he says, “build a boat”, you build the damn boat! If he says, “kill your only child” or “cut off part of your genitals”, you’d be crazy not to do it! Am I right?! So, if the lord tells us that there are 8 zodiac signs, that’s how it is, so stop asking about it! 3. The Number 8 is like, Super Amazing!There are lots of reasons why the number eight is special, and it isn’t just special for Mormons. In Japan, eight is a really lucky number. Buddhism has the “Noble Eightfold Path“. And if you turn the number eight on its side, it becomes, wait for it… INFINITY! Holy shit! Of course, Mormons understand the importance of the number eight. When someone turns eight years old, they are ready to make a lifelong commitment to Mormonism by being baptized! They may not be old enough to get a part-time job, to vote, or even get a gym membership, but they are definitely ready to make a lifetime commitment to the religion that they were born into. Its known as the “age of accountability”, or the age when baptism becomes required. If a person dies at age seven years, eleven months, and 27 days, they aren’t accountable for their actions and they get a free ticket to heaven! No baptism required. However, once someone reaches that magical eighth birthday, they are sinful as Hell and need to be baptized clean so they don’t drag mud all over god’s perfectly cleaned Celestial carpets! The number 8 is also part of the most sacred, and awesome symbol of all time, the eight-pointed star. Mormons recognize this symbol as the “Seal of Melchizedek” and if you’re looking, you can find it everywhere -especially Mormon temples. In fact, the San Diego temple is one giant Seal of Melchizedek, filled with thousands of other Seals of Melchizedek stuffed inside of it. The symbol is so over-the-top for that temple that you’d have an easier time going to a Doctor Who convention and counting the sonic screwdrivers! Of course we had to incorporate the Seal of Melchizedek into our logo 🙂 Anyway, now you know why there are eight zodiac signs for Mormonism! Does this blog post answer all of your questions? If more questions arise, just refer to the reasons listed here -especially #2: trust god and stop asking so many dam questions!
