I was born on August 31, which used to mean I was a Virgo. Now apparently I'm a Leo! While I admit most of me is comprised of Virgo-isms... I am also a bit of a Leo. However, when I read this I was a bit taken aback, as all my life I've been a Virgo, and I feel sorry for all of those who have tattooed their signs on themselves! Lol, but this is the latest news...
A Minnesota astronomer confirms what many have suspected: Your horoscope is pretty much wrong! Earth's shifts on its axis over the past 3,000 years have changed the 12 zodiac signs. There's also a 13th sign, Ophiuchus, that's based on a constellation the ancient Babylonians threw out for symmetry thousands of years ago.
The ancient Babylonians based the zodiac on which constellation the sun appeared to be in when a person was born. Since then, the moon has exerted a gravitation pull on Earth, causing a "wobble" on its axis that has shifted the stars' alignment by about a month.
The shift isn't new, Kunkle says -- the zodiac world just hasn't taken the wobble into account.
