An old report was the catalyst for everything. The 13th zodiac sign, Ophiuchus, or the serpent-bearer, was “found” by NASA. Anyone born between November 29 and December 17 would now be an Ophiuchus instead of a Scorpio or a Sagittarius. Scorpio’s window would be reduced to just seven days, and the entire astrological chart would move, changing the star signs of some Pisces, Leos, and Libras. As astrology enthusiasts online began to freak out, NASA subtly entered the conversation to clarify.

the following signs: Aries, Taurus, Gemini (where the Sun is right now), Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Ophiuchus, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.
Unfortunately, astrologers give the inaccurate dates for each star sign in addition to neglecting Ophiuchus. Astrology’s line-of-sight is based on what it claims occurs in the night sky “insights into human emotions and fortunes:

The sun enters Cancer, the fourth sign of the zodiac, on or around June 21, the day after the Northern Hemisphere’s summer solstice. Depending on the year, people born between roughly June 21 and July 22 fall under the sign of Cancer. Depending on the astrological system they follow, people born on these dates may be referred to as “Cancerians.” Cancer is a northern sign, and Capricorn is its polar opposite. A warning indicator is cancer.
Cancer’s elemental sign is water, which together with Pisces and Scorpio makes up the water trigon. One of the zodiac’s four elemental trigons, along with fire, earth, and air, is the trigon of water. A trigon is considered to influence changes on Earth when it has influence. According to legend, persons born under the sign of Cancer have Neptune as their home planet and Jupiter as their exaltation planet. The Moon is its ruling planet.

Although neither of the official astrological systems recognizes Ophiuchus as a sign, certain sidereal astrologers might include it in their chart analysis. The constellation, which is a representation of a serpent-bearer, is located between the early and late degrees of the mutable fire sign Sagittarius and the fixed water sign Scorpio.
Zodiac signsare they true?
Astrology: Is it true? Although reading horoscopes is a well-liked past time, is there any scientific evidence that it has any significance?
When you are lured by a familiar interruption and your willpower wanes, problems may result.
Up to 70 million Americans consult their horoscopes every day. At least that is what the American Federation of Astrologers claims. A Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life research conducted twenty years ago found that 25% of Americans thought that the positions of the stars and planets had an impact on our daily life. According to the General Social Survey from 2012, 34% of Americans asked think astrology is “extremely” or “kind of” scientific. The percentage of those who think astrology is “not at all scientific” has decreased from two-thirds to roughly one-half.
The concept that astronomical phenomena, such as the stars above when you were born or the fact that Mercury is in retrograde, have the ability to affect the daily happenings in our lives and our personality traits is commonly referred to as astrology. The study of astronomy, which is the scientific study of celestial objects, space, and the mechanics of the cosmos, is obviously very different from this.
An element of astrology in particular that is gaining popularity is the ability to predict one’s future or provide advise on daily actions through horoscopes. Horoscope pages had 150 percent more visits in 2017 than in 2016, according to publications like The Cut.
It’s obvious that many individuals are looking for methods of star interpretation. Understanding the locations of the stars, the basis of astrology, seems to be a sufficiently scientific endeavor. But can science support the idea that astrology has an impact on our personalities and our lives?
But since I have you for the remaining five minutes of this six-minute-or-so podcast, let’s examine the precise methods by which astrology has been put to the test.
