Sign Here - Are You A Ophiuchus?

Astronomers have restored the original Babylonian zodiac by recalculating the dates that correspond with each sign to accommodate millennia of subtle shifts in the Earth's axis.

Here is the zodiac as the ancient Babylonians intended it—with the dates corresponding to the times of the year that the sun is actually in each constellation's "house":

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. 23-29.
Ophiuchus:* Nov. 29-Dec. 17.
Sagittarius: Dec. 17-Jan. 20.

* Discarded by the Babylonians because they wanted 12 signs per year.

New Zodiac applies only to those born in 2009 or later.... or doesn't apply at all because we don't use sidereel astrology...

Or whatever. Eff it. I'm staying a Scorpio.

I want to stay Capricorn so I can still be known for my shaggy dog stories.

Wow. I am not sure I know how to be an Aries. Too much time as a Taurus, I guess.


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

With the change in signs is anyone getting a tattoo replaced?

Frankly, my favorite interpretation of the signs of the zodiac is Weird Al's, Horoscope for Today". :D:
