To all the people who begin their day reading their daily horoscope, have their zodiac sign tattooed on their wrist or ankle, or who have a necklace with their zodiac sign they wear faithfully: I have some bad news for you.
NASA has recently informed us that there are actually 13 constellations in the Zodiac not 12. The new zodiac sign (Ophiuchus) was discovered more than 3,000 years ago by the Babylonians. Even in their own ancient stories they recognized 13 constellations in the Zodiac. Some cultures have recognized as many as 24. But, the Babylonians chose only 12 constellations to fit their calendar that had 12 months.
But even those chosen 12 do not divide equally and overflow into the other constellations. In the years since the Babylonians, the constellation positions have changed due to the Earth swaying on its axis. So, the constellations are not in the same spots they once were.
What does this mean?
If you are born between November 29 and December 17 your new zodiac sign is Ophiuchus. The sign is a man holding a snake named Serpentarius. They seek peace and harmony, are inventive and poetic and have a thirst for knowledge. Also they might have secret enemies in their close group of friends (Yikes).
This also means that the other star signs have moved as well.
