MINNESOTA: If you've ever read your horoscope, you may be interested in what at least one astronomer has to say about it. Turns out your sign may not really be your sign.

"This is not something that happened today. This has gone on for thousands of years," said astronomer Parke Kunkle.

The star doctors say Earth is currently in a different spot in relation to the Sun, and its equatorial alignment has changed from 3,000 years ago when the study of astrology began -- back when 12 zodiac signs were assigned to 12 different periods of the year.

Those signs you were born into are different now because the Earth's wobble on its axis has created a one-month bump in the alignment of the stars, according to Kunkle.

"Because of this change of tilt, the Earth is really over here in effect and Sun is in a different constellation than it was 3,000 years ago."

What that means to you is a Virgo may now be a Leo, an Aquarius - a Capricorn, and a Taurus - an Aries.

"So I'm an Aries now, fabulous," said Jozsef Szathmary, reacting to the news.

Szathmary has gone from Taurus to Aries in stride, vowing to his sun alignment that he is ready to change.

"I'm a ball of sunshine....wherever the sun is at, that's where I'm at," he said.

And that is just the point. The Sun and Earth are moving surely and slowly, so the stars of your sign aren't the same as they were when that sign was assigned to your birth thousands of years ago.

For your new sign, just subtract one spot on the list.

But, don't expect your horoscope reading to change. Scientists say this rotation has been known about since 500 B.C. and the horoscope calendar hasn't moved.

[mrclean604]

great i'm a taurus now

[jerche]

Apparently it only affects people that are born in the year 2009 and onwards.

I don't believe it at all. All the 'readings' are so broad it's hilarious.

[ilvtofu]

No it wouldn't make sense to say that it only affects 2009 onwards because the periods changed quite a bit. If it was one or two days maybe. But this is more than a month difference which probably means even if you were born in the last 100 years it was already way off since the old dates were set 3000 years ago

Wikipedia still not updated?!?!?! How can this be?!?!

[HonestTea]

Leo -> Leo

FTW!

[asahai69]

if getting your sign tattooed on your body wasnt a big enough fail before, it sure is now. this shit just pushed it over the edge. lol

[trancehead]

IM STILL A DRAGON:fullofwin:

[Obsideon]

WTF is an Ophiuchus?? How do they just randomly add a new one in there? It looks stupid, some dude riding a dragon/snake?... maybe that animal will attack the man's orifice so they will rename it to 'Oriphius'
:failed:
LOL and why are the dates overlapping? What happens when you land on a date like August 10, are you like half Cancer half Leo?

I work in a Japanese restaurant and a lot of the staff here are really into this crap! Wait 'till I burst their psychological bubbles! MINDBLASTED! :willnill:

[Gt-R R34]

hmm lol i honestly thought most people knew..that..the earth moves, and we rotate and it moves...

[jeedee]

Went from a Libra to Virgo...

I'm never gonna read another horoscope after this zodiac change :lol

[MindBomber]

I went from being pisces- which describes me perfectly, to an aquarius- which I am the complete opposite of.

Thankfully, this only applies 2009 onward lol

[PiuYi]

this has altered all my life decisions, thankyou OP :lol

[dogeatcookie]

lol i'm in between a capricorn and aquarius.. feb 16

dude we have the same bday!

[q0192837465]

I dun care what astronomers say, there r only 12 Gold Clothes so there r 12 zodiacs PERIOD.

I went from a virgo to a Leo. Virgo is freaking stronger than Leo, he can take 3 gold saints at once.

[jnesss]

i went from a pisces to an aqua-pisces :fullofwin:

[drunkrussian]

in a related story, all Ford Taurus Models are now to be renamed to Ford Piece of Broken Garbage

[ilvtofu]

lol a lotta the ppl posting in this thread are making up bullshit excuses why the ford Taurus wouldn't work. In reality, you're just scared of change and hate on progress.

I was born in a period where ford didn't even pay me to advertise their cars yet I still have faith in the quality of their new line of engines and much higher initial quality than before

*flame suit on*

[urrh]

i really didn't expect this thread to make it to the third page.
only girls care about their horoscope. and well, we know how many girls are on rs...

[Bouncing Bettys]

The only time I've ever enjoyed the astrological symbols was there role in Battlestar Galactica. It made it all into a mythology which had its routes in our shared origins to the planets on the show, Earth being the long lost 13th colony or 13th symbol in astrology.

[Mercy]

Born an Aries will die an Aries.
