Zodiac

I read an article a few months ago about the Zodiac changing because of the stars moving. If you were born supposedly a Libra, better start looking at Virgo, because that's the actual constellation in which you were born.

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. (Here's a bit about this new constellation, a man wrestling a serpent)
Sagittarius: Dec. 17-Jan. 20.


I know it's all over the internet now, but I was using StumbleUpon and I happened across it maybe three months ago, and it was this pretty cool website where you'd plug in your full birthday (month/day/year) and it would calculate if your sign changed or not, and then it would give a detailed explanation as to why or why not. This is the closest thing I could find to that: didmyzodiacchange.com
It'll take you here if you click to learn more, but all that's here is a comparisson between the "older" and "newer" zodiac.

And then there's this article, which goes a little more in depth than most other articles I've seen: Voices.washingtonpost.com
I think I like this link better, because it delves in deep about the changing of the signs. The other site just explained everything on the surface.


Really though, I don't understand the big hype about it. The only reason I'm writing this is because I find the science and history behind it fascinating.
The way I see it, it's not going to change who you are or what your day is going to be like. My zodiac predictions were never correct to begin with.

"Rest assured, though, your horoscopes will not change as scientists have known about this change since 500 B.C. Tarot.com astrologer Jeff Jawer says, 'Western astrology is based on equinoxes, so if you were a Cancer last week -- you're still a Cancer'" - Syracuse.com
