New Zodiac Sign

The media reports on the 13th zodiac sign and the change in the zodiac calender has sent thousands into an astrological identity crisis. However, the real meaning seems to have been lost in translation.

Birth in ancient Babalonian formulation

It all began with astronomer Parke Kunkle's interview to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, during which the board member of the Minnesota Planetarium Society told the publication of how ancient Babylonians formulated the zodiac signs.

Kunkle explained that Babylonians based zodiac signs on the constellation the sun was 'in' on the day a person was born. As millenniums passed by, the moon's gravitational pull has made the Earth "wobble" around its axis, creating about a one-month bump in the stars' alignment, Kunkle is quoted as saying in the January 9 report.

"When they [astrologers] say that the sun is in Pisces, it's really not in Pisces," Kunkle said, indicating that most horoscope readers may be reading the wrong predictions and may be rationalizing their behavior on wrong traits.

Kunkle, who teaches astronomy at Minneapolis Community and Technical College, also stated that there is no physical connection between constellations and personality traits.

"Sure, we can connect harvest to the stars. But personality? No."

With the Kunkle's remark that people are no longer looking at the sky to understand astrology, the report concluded on a thought-provoking note stating that this could be the reason why sometimes "why a day might not have turned out exactly as predicted."

The Proffesional Astrolger argue hat when these 12 conventional stars were introduced the earh was in a different position with respect to sun as well as moon.

It means as i am a taurean now i am not taurean any more, i am Aries now.

Sun is constant at its position but the Earth is constantly moving around it orbit and now its in different position so the stars should change accordingly.
