You may be celebrating your fortune based on your horoscope as a Capricorn today, but you might be surprised to find that youre probably a Sagittarius by now.
A set of new zodiac sign dates was unveiled recently, the Minnesota-based Star Tribune reported, with each symbols covered dates being moved by a month thanks to the moons gravitational pull that, as astrologers note, wobbled the Earths rotation on its axis recently.
The ancient Babylonians based zodiac signs on the constellation the sun was in on the day a person was born. During the ensuing millenniums, the moon's gravitational pull has made the Earth "wobble" around its axis, creating about a one-month bump in the stars' alignment, Star Tribunes Bill Ward noted.
A blog post on the Washington Post website have also shed light on this matter, citing the explanation provided by Park Kunkle, a board member of the Minnesota Planetarium Society.
The moon's gravitational pull has slowly moved the Earth in its axis, creating about a one-month bump in the stars' alignment... Now, during what we think as the month of Pisces, the sun is actually in the sign of Aries
Thus the adjustment of zodiac dates as follows:
Capricorn: Jan. 20 - Feb. 16 Aquarius: Feb. 16 - March 11 Pisces: March 11- April 18 Aries: April 18- May 13 Taurus: May 13- June 21 Gemini: June 21- July 20 Cancer: July 20- Aug. 10 Leo: Aug. 10- Sept. 16 Virgo: Sept. 16- Oct. 30 Libra: Oct. 30- Nov. 23 Scorpio: Nov. 23- Nov. 29 Ophiuchus: Nov. 29- Dec. 17 Sagittarius: Dec. 17- Jan. 20
Its really a surprising news for me also that 13th zodiac sign is also invented. I really want to get some more information regarding this topic. I hope during your next visit you would definitely share some more information regarding this topic.
