Why your “star sign” hasn’t changed: A thread
So I know barely anyone will probably read this thread but I’m gonna do it anyway. Firstly there are much more important things going on right now than this, such as Breonna Taylor’s murderers still walking free https://justiceforbreonna.org 
Also I am not an astrology expert but I just wanna share what I do know because so much false info is being shared at the moment.
It is impossible for NASA to change the zodiac. They do astroNoMy whereas “star signs”, the zodiac etc. is astroLoGy, there is a difference! NASA have even said themselves they cannot change the zodiac yet most of the internet seems to just believe everything they read🥴
The constellation Ophiuchus was found by the Ancient Greeks literally thousands of years ago. It isn’t new, it hasn’t been ignored by astrologers, it has been there the whole time but it’s not one of the 12 signs of the zodiac.
There are 88 modern constellations, including the 12 of the zodiac Aquarius, Scorpio, Cancer etc., Ophiuchus and many more. The Babylonians created the zodiac centuries ago based on the position of these constellations in the sky. Over time the position of these has changed.
Your “star sign” comes from the position the sun was in when you were born. If you’re an Aries, the sun was passing through the constellation Aries. Since the constellations have moved over time, for example, Ophiuchus now occupies most of the sign Sagittarius.
This does not mean you are no longer a Sagittarius! Like I said, astronomy and the science of stars is not the same as astrology. Western astrology is based on the findings of the Babylonians not the “current findings” of NASA.
Astrology is actually closely related to mathematics so each of the signs spans 30° of celestial longitude, all adding to create 360°, a perfect circle. Obviously adding in Ophiuchus does not fit in with this mathematically. Ophiuchus is not a “star sign” it is a constellation.
It wouldn’t make sense for there to be 13 zodiac signs. There are 12 months of the year, 12 Chinese zodiac signs, 12 Vedic zodiac signs so why would there be 13 western zodiac signs?
When you google this, a lot of websites will tell you that astrology is simply made up and false because it doesn’t fit scientific tests. I personally believe in astrology, just because it doesn’t work with scientific tests doesn’t mean it’s not real.
I’ve missed out a lot of info here I just wanted to make this simple, so if you want to know more about this please just google it yourself. Don’t believe everything the media says, always do your own research first.
If you don’t know much about astrology, or you only know “star signs”, go and research about it more if you want! You’ll be surprised about how much more there is to it! If you don’t believe in this, that’s fine of course, but do your research first before jumping to conclusions.
Not sure anyone will make it this far but you can calculate your full birth chart here and learn more than just your “star sign” or sun sign https://horoscopes.astro-seek.com
