Zodiac Signs change with addition of Ophiuchus

(NECN) - It's one of the things people ask -- "what's your sign"? Astronomers say because the earth's alignment is different from where it was three thousand years ago when the study of astrology began -- the Zodiac signs are different.

New reports out from the Minnesota Planetarium society say the stars' alignment was pushed by about a month, because of the moon's gravitational pull on the earth.

In fact, there's now a 13th sign.

The new dates for Capricorn are January 20th through February 16th.
For Aquarius, it's February 16th through March 11th.
Pisces: March 11th through April 18th.
Aries: April 18th through May 13th.
Taurus: May 13th through June 21st.
Gemini: June 21st through July 20th.
Cancer: July 20th through August 10th.
Leo: August 10th through September 16th.
Virgo: September 16th through October 30th.
Libra: October 30th through November 23rd.
Scorpio: November 23rd through November 29th.

The new sign, Ophiuchus is for people with birth dates between November 29th and December 17th.

Sagittarius is now December 17th through January 20th.


These are the old signs:

Aries: March 21 - April 20
Taurus: April 21 - May 21
Gemini: May 22 - June 21
Cancer: June 22 - July 22
Leo: July 23 -August 21
Virgo: August 22 - September 23
Libra: September 24 - October 23
Scorpio: October 24 - November 22
Sagittarius: November 23 - December 22
Capricorn: December 23 - January 20
Aquarius: January 21 - February 19
Pisces: February 20- March 20

There's your problem lol....... One news story causes huge identity panics. Its actually irrelevant for Western astrology and has been for 1800 years.


Astrologist: Changes only apply to one type of zodiac (http://www.gmanews.tv/story/210571/earths-rotation-causes-new-zodiac-sign-assignments)

However, Tarot.com astrologer Jeff Jawer said in an interview with CNN that astrology fans need not worry because there are actually two types of zodiacs: the tropical zodiac, which Western astrology adheres to and is fixed to seasons; and the sidereal zodiac, which is fixed to constellations and is followed more in the East.

The "changes", he said, apply to the sidereal zodiac.

Jawer added that the alignments with constellations indeed changed compared to years ago, but this change is irrelevant for the tropical zodiac, which was codified for Western astrology by Ptolemy in the second century.

"When we look at the astrology used in the Western World, the seasonally based astrology has not changed [and] was never oriented to the constellations," he said in the CNN interview, adding he personally adheres to the tropical zodiac.

"Astrology is geocentric. It relates life on Earth to the Earth's environment, and seasons are the most dramatic effect, which is why we use the tropical zodiac," he said. —

So you guys can unbunch your panties :P
