Astronomer Parke Kunkle tells NBC news that due to the Earth's changing alignment in the last 3000 years, the sign you are born into now are different than they were long ago. Plus, some astronomers believe there is a 13th Zodiac sign called Ophiuchus, which falls between Scorpio and Sagittarius.
"This is not something that happened today. This has gone on for thousands of years," says Kunkle. "Because of this change of tilt, the Earth is really over here in effect and Sun is in a different constellation than it was 3,000 years ago."
So astrology enthusiasts should be using these dates, which reflect the current alignment of the Sun, Earth and stars.

I also remember seeing something somewhere saying this isn't true and it's a misconception.
I don't know what to believe anymore ;A;
I'm still a Leo either way though.

17 Name: Wik : 2011-01-21 23:11 ID:K7FE2UZ6 [Del]
If it makes you feel better, the new zodiac sign only applies to those born after 2009, since that's when Ophiuchus re-appeared.That means you can still use the sign you were born in ^^
18 Name: Firo : 2011-01-22 00:39 ID:qUwIy23G [Del]
Sucks for those that were born '09
19 Name: Misuto : 2011-01-22 18:24 ID:9OU092iZ [Del]
>>17 Oh, is that right? That's interesting. People born after 2009 will have different zodiac signs than people that have the same birthday, born before that.

Cool. Beeing an Ophichus is way more cool than beeing Sagittarius.
No more horses with arrows, now I'm something more alien.

It actually only affects people born now, you would still technically be the sign you were born under.

lolz.... its only a prediction...
"To the Phantom's back the Crown is near, but by his head mark near at hand the head of Ophiuchus, and then from it you can trace the starlit Ophiuchus himself: so brightly set beneath his head appear his gleaming shoulders. They would be clear to mark even at the midmonth moon, but his hands are not at all so bright; for faint runs the gleam of stars along on this side and on that. Yet they too can be seen, for they are not feeble. Both firmly clutch the Serpent, which encircles the waist of Ophiuchus, but he, steadfast with both his feet well set, tramples a huge monster, even the Scorpion, standing upright on his eye and breast. Now the Serpent is wreathed about his two hands – a little above his right hand, but in many folds high above his left."

Again...
Your sign only changes if you were born AFTER this announcement was made. You were still born with whatever constellation you had in the sky on that day, it's just that they were realigned very recently due to the new one.

IIRC, and someone has probably said this before in this thread, but the Zodiac that we use hasn't changed. It is a slightly different one that has changed and people have been aware of this for years. So it doesn't change anything unless you want it to.

Maybe the whole "has been going on for thousands of years" thing is just the process of the new system becoming official. Maybe the constellations were still in unstable motion for the past few millenniums, and it has finally settled down for astronomers/astrologists to use legitimately for people who are born in this generation. So people who were born before 2009 (which I'm guessing is everyone here...or else it will be very weird for a 2-year-old baby to be posting threads online..-_-) get to keep their astrological signs.
Therefore, I'm still a Cancer. Not a Gemini. :)

Actually, the Zodiac change is only being applied for people born in 2010 and later. Anyone born before keeps their old Zodiac sign.

Gdi, it's explained every time someone says it but I forgot nobody can read. Your sign does not change, these new alignments are for newborns, essentially.
