Our star signs have changed! NASA has revealed that the dates which define star signs are erroneous, Gizmodo reports. The horoscopes haven't been assessed since 200 years when they were first calculated by ancient astrologists.
Ophiuchus: the 13th zodiac sign?
Over time, the Earth's axis has moved - altering the skies above us. This explains the change in individual horoscopes. According to NASA calculations, astrological signs are about a month out, and Ophiuchus - a new star sign has evolved.
“We did not change any Zodiac signs, we just did the math. The Space Place (an educational page for kids run by NASA) article was about how astrology is not astronomy, how it was a relic of ancient history and pointed out the science and math that did come from observations of the night sky,” NASA Spokesperson Dwayne Brown said.
