No offense to 'Gemini' people-- who are perceived as the most hated zodiac sign. Here's the news. Despite all the claims saying the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) found a new zodiac sign-- changing all we know so far about astrological signs, NASA said that they did not discover any new sign. Yup, you're still you.
NASA adds new zodiac sign called 'Ophiuchus'
Not everyone believes in astrological signs or zodiac signs. However, for those people who believed in it, these signs prove everything about the life of a person: the common temperament, issues, or the future of a person.
So when the NASA announced a newly-discovered zodiac sign, everyone went havoc. Based on the reports, NASA officially declared that there are 13 zodiac signs-- not 12. The new sign is called 'Ophiuchus' which was said to be in between the dates of Scorpio and Sagittarius dated Nov. 29 to Dec. 17.
The agency said that the skies today were not the same as how the astrologers perceived the signs 3,000 years ago.
"The sky has shifted because Earth's axis (North Pole) doesn't point in quite the same direction. Now Mimi's Aug. 4 birthday would mean she was born 'under the sign' of Cancer (one constellation 'earlier'), not Leo," said NASA.
Reports already released the new zodiac signs with the new dates supporting it. However, here's a catch.
NASA denies all the claims that they discovered a new zodiac sign.
Nope, you're still a 'total Gemini'
NASA clarifies that they did not discover or announced a new zodiac sign. First, astrology and astronomy are way different from each other.
Astrology is not based on science, while astronomy is. In a Tumblr post-- written a few years ago, NASA confirms that what they discovered is based on the study of astronomy. This means that the new sign is not true and will not change anything on the astrological signs.
"We see your comments about a zodiac story that re-emerges every few years. No, we did not change the zodiac," it wrote, linking out to a Tumblr post that explained what had happened.
The agency said that the early astrologists had a mistake with their measurements on the constellation alignments. Instead of 13 constellations, they only get to 12 to make sure that it will be matched on the 12-month calendar.
"The line from Earth through the sun points to Virgo for 45 days, but it points to Scorpius for only seven days. To make a tidy match with their 12-month calendar, the Babylonians ignored the fact that the sun actually moves through 13 constellations, not 12. Then they assigned each of those 12 constellations equal amounts of time," the agency said.
So yup, you're still a 'total Gemini.'
