Zodiac Sign Change


From an online article














Astronomer Parke Kunkle tellsNBC news that due to the Earth's changing alignment in the last 3000years, the sign you are born into now are different than they were longago. Plus, some astronomers believe there is a 13th Zodiac sign calledOphiuchus, which falls between Scorpio and Sagittarius.

"This isnot something that happened today. This has gone on for thousands ofyears," says Kunkle. "Because of this change of tilt, the Earth isreally over here ineffect and Sun is in a different constellation than it was 3,000 yearsago."

The constellation of Ophiuchus is located near thecelestial equator and is typically depicted as a man wrangling aserpent. "Ophiuchus" means "serpent-bearer" in Greek. There are severaldifferent characters from Greek mythology that Ophiuchus is thought torepresent, including Asclepius the healer, Trojan priest Laocoon, whowas killed by sea serpents, and Phorbas, who saved the people of Rhodesfrom an infestation of serpents.

The sign Ophiuchus can befound in the Sidereal Zodiac, which is used by Jyotish (or Hindu)astrologers. The Sidereal Zodiac's astrological sign dates are similarto the dates listed below, depending on if the Sun is in aconstellation or not. 

So astrology enthusiasts should be using these dates, which reflect the current alignment of the Sun, Earth and stars.
