What’s your sign? The answer is most likely not what you think.
Astronomers have reportedly restored the original Babylonian zodiac the way the ancient Babylonians intended it. See, the moon’s gravitational pull has caused the Earth to “wobble” around its axis throughout the subsequent millenniums, the Star Tribune writes. And while the rotation has been known since 500 BC, the horoscope calendar hasn’t moved – until now.
The result? The signs have shifted backwards by about a month. Meaning if you were once an easy going and sociable Libra, like me, you are now a fussy and worrying Virgo. Bummer.
Check out the new horoscope signs below [via NBC 2]:
Capricorn: Jan. 20-Feb. 16.
Aquarius: Feb. 16-March 11.
Pisces: March 11-April 18.
Aries: April 18-May 13.
Taurus: May 13-June 21.
Gemini: June 21-July 20.
Cancer: July 20-Aug. 10.
Leo: Aug. 10-Sept. 16.
Virgo: Sept. 16-Oct. 30.
Libra: Oct. 30-Nov. 23.
Scorpio: Nov. 23-29.
Ophiuchus: Nov. 29-Dec. 17.
Sagittarius: Dec. 17-Jan. 20.

No. I'm not happy. I have very little traits of a Taurus, which would be my new sign. I am a textbook Gemini.

Astronomers have done this, or astrologers? Because astronomers are well aware that this is all laughable BS, while astrologers continue to believe no matter how much they change it. And this isn't the first big change. They've added and removed planets in the past, changing everything, and yes SOMEHOW everyone's readings were perfect! Which isn't surprising when everything's written to appeal to what people want to hear about themselves and/or secretly fear, no matter what sign you are. This will change nothing. Everyone will readjust, most people (Desiree possibly being an exception) will suddenly find that, shockingly, their new sign fits them "even better" and those niggling doubts they had about their old sign's accuracy will come to the surface. Meanwhile anyone new to astrology will never know how similarly accurate their old sign would have been. LOL.

I dont know if I believe this, cuz I have all the traits of a sagitarius like I am saggi to the bone. And now Im opochius, the snake teaser or something? Actually I am like one of the most undevious people you will ever meet. And all my friends zodiac signs fit them perfectly. Untill they figure out more about this sign, Im sticking with the saggi forcast which is usually accurate for me
