Your Zodiac sign might be wrong

A Minnesota astronomer confirms what many have suspected: Your horoscope is quite possibly wrong.

Earth's shifts on its axis over the past 3,000 years have changed the 12 zodiac signs. For example, think your sign is Aquarius? You may be a Pisces. (There's also a 13th sign, Ophiuchus, that's based on a constellation the ancient Babylonians threw out for symmetry thousands of years ago.)

So who's to blame for this scam on zodiac devotees?

The ancient Babylonians based the zodiac on which constellation the sun appeared to be in when a person was born. Since then, the moon's has exerted a gravitation pull on Earth, causing a "wobble" on its axis that has shifted the stars' alignment by about a month, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports.

"Because of this change in the tilt, the Earth is over here and the sun is in a different constellation than it was 3,000 years ago when this study of the stars began," astronomer Parke Kunkle told the Twin Cities' KARE-TV.

The shift isn't new, Kunkle says -- the zodiac world just hasn't taken the wobble into account.

Here's your new sign below:

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-Nov. 29

Ophiuchus: Nov. 29-Dec. 17

Sagittarius: Dec. 17-Jan. 20

Things like this shouldn't be in the news. Most people are smart enough to not pay attention to this crap.

Ophiuchus aka Serpentarius or The serpent bearer. Apperantly it's a popular astrological sign in Japan. And of course there was Lord Zedd's zord of the same name.

Tune in next year for a once-in-a-lifetime interview with Bigfoot... and tour his mansion (he invested those likeness royalties well).

This definately makes me a virgo instead of switching between virgo and libra depending on where I look.

Who cares I'm still a tiger in the chinese zodiac ♥ Not that I actually care about things like this.

As a stubborn, loyal Taurus, I refuse to believe I am anything but a stubborn, loyal Taurus. I'm putting my hoof down and that's that!

I like how most people accept that Pluto is no longer a planet, but REFUSE to believe their new supposed Zodiacs.

This just in from CNN: Apparently we have 2 different zodiac signs and that they're not changing on us: http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/01/13...hasnt-changed/

I did some further research and it seems there are 3 versions of the Astrology charts. Tropical (which is the one we're familiar with), Sidreal, and IAU.

Not all Sidreal Astrologers go with all 13 some just count 12 but with that one the signs are different still.

IAU count all 13. Please note: The IAU are the SAME people who reduced Pluto's planetary status....

So, I'm supposed to be a Capricorn? Screw that. I'm Aquarius for life.

And Pluto is no longer an official planet but a dwarf planet.
