Whether you are a Cancer, a Gemini or Leo, one thing's for sure: what the future has in store. But what if things have not been going to plan and all seems to be perpetually in retrograde? Maybe it's a case of a changing star. According to a recent Facebook post , America's space agency, NASA, made a new discovery with astrological implications. NASA announced a new star sign, and it's throwing everything out of wack Was your horoscope affected?
The claim was published by Hot , a Virginia-based radio station. More: First planetary core discovered, astronomers announce. Shifts in astrological paradigms have been around since , when Minnesota Planetarium Society astronomers found that the alignment of the stars had changed due to the moon's gravitational pull on Earth. According to Snopes , these stories have been circulating online since at least as far back as via various chain letters and viral blog posts. The origins of the zodiac go back approximately 2, years when the Babylonians separated the sky into 12 different sections.
These people are not astrologers. Even though Ophiuchus is undoubtedly an observed constellation located northwest of the center of the Milky Way, in case you were curious , could it have the chance to be an actual member of the zodiac?
Ophiuchus is depicted as an image of exactly what you might expect: a large, powerful man holding a large snake represented by Serpens, a neighboring constellation, which is usually coiled around his waist.
Because of this, Ophiuchus is sometimes also called Serpentarius. Remember, they invented astrology and we have to go with what they gave us. A new story about an old misunderstanding is once again circulating—and NASA is once again setting the record straight.
Anyone born between November 29 and December 17 would no longer be a Scorpio or a Sagittarius, but an Ophiuchus. As astrology lovers online started to panic, NASA gently waded into the online fray to set the record straight. NASA then notes that the zodiac signs are simply constellations that are in line with the Earth and the Sun as the planet follows its orbit. NASA didn't "create" this zodiac sign. Ophiuchus is one of the 13 major constellations in the zodiac, according to ancient Babylonians.
The Babylonians left it out of the zodiac because they followed the month calendar and assigned the other 12 constellations, or zodiac signs, to different months.
