According to a blog article published by NASA early this year, the ancient Babylonians intended dates on the calendar to align with star constellations when they formed the zodiac over 3,000 years ago. However, they were using a 12-month calendar and there were 13 constellations. Ophiuchus was so abandoned.
NASA also noted that all of our signs now have various date ranges because the Earth’s axis doesn’t even point in the same direction that it did when the original constellations were first created.
To put it another way: astrological mayhem. And the NASA science nerds don’t even give a damn about how they’ve changed our lives. Last Monday, they issued a statement stating, “At NASA, we study astronomy, not astrology. We simply did the arithmetic; we didn’t alter any zodiac signs.

What zodiac signs will be present in 2020?
According to Western astrology, there are 12 signs of the zodiac, which literally means the “a circle of animals, but the Sun passes through 13 constellations annually:
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:

Your fundamental character and essence as a person are reflected in your Sun sign. Your Moon sign indicates your emotional side and who you are when you’re by yourself.

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.
How frequently do zodiac signs shift?
“It gently revolves around in a circle every 26,000 years, much like a spinning top wobbling on a table. On a daily basis, this additional motion is essentially undetectable, but it accumulates over millennia.” The stars do not move, yet over the period of millennia, it appears as though they do.
Ophiuchus pronunciation?
Ophiuchus is pronounced /fijuks/ in accordance with the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Ophiuchus is pronounced “oh-FEW-kuss” in simple old English.
