NASA itself also mistook the change of the zodiac

NASA does say that the constellations have changed since 3000 years ago. However, not so that your zodiac changes.

The constellation after 3000 years changed the arrangement, and reaffirmed the existence of the 13th constellation - the constellation Ophiuchus.

This led to a rumor that the zodiac of many people - at least 86% of the world - was changed.

12 signs of the zodiac.

This information comes from an article on Space Place - a NASA-managed children's educational website. Accordingly, in 3000 years ago, the Babylonians created zodiac signs based on observing the Sun's movement through the constellations in the night sky.

However, after 3000 years, the sky is no longer the same as before, and the cause comes from the shaking of the Earth axis. Earth's North Pole is not fixed, but varies from year to year.

This shift is very small, but after thousands of years will create significant changes. According to Christopher Crockett - Ph.D. in Astronomy at the University of California (USA): "At the June issue of 2,000 years ago, the Sun is in the middle of two constellations Gemini and Cancer. This year, the sun Between the Gemini and Taurus, in 4609, the June solstice will surpass the Taurus and enter the Aries. "

As a result, a lot of information was given, based on NASA's changes to make a new zodiac system: 13 arcs, and the days in it changed.

Does the appearance of the Snake (Ophiuchus) change the way the zodiac is calculated?

And the truth is?

The truth is that NASA itself then had to correct itself, by placing a very large, bold line of headlines on Space Place: Astrology Other Astronomy (Astronomy). That is, one must understand that: changes in astronomical constellations have nothing to do with calculating zodiac in astrology.

Astrology (Astrology) OTHER Astronomy (Astronomy).

First of all, we will go from the constellation Ostrich. In fact, in 3000 years ago, the Babylonians used the 12-month calendar (moon calendar), thereby pairing each month with a piece of the constellation.

However, in the oldest Babylonian documents it is noted that the sky has 13 constellations, not 12. It is unclear why they omitted the Ostrich constellation, perhaps for the calculation to be most with 12 months time.

What does this mean for? Let us understand that the constellation of the Ophiopus was not recently discovered, but since 3000 years ago the Babylonians had known it. There are things, they deliberately ignore.

And if we still believe in the zodiac according to the Babylonian calculation so far, there is no reason to put more constellations into it.

Next, we need to clarify how to calculate the zodiac. The truth is that as NASA says, the positions of the constellations can change over time. However, Western astrology is based on another system, using "artificial" constellations is better.

Astrologers create a map of invariant constellations.Therefore, the corresponding days in it will never change, even when . it collapses.

Instead of observing the movement of the constellations, astrologers rely on the Sun's path from the most favorable position. They created a starless map and based on it to determine the movement of the planet corresponding to them. That is why the days for the constellations will never change, even . the sky collapses.

By about 100 BC, Ptolemy, the great mathematician and astrologer, created the tropical zodiac - a fixed system unaffected by the changes of the constellations or the Earth's axis.

What Ptolemy named the signs of the zodiac according to the names of the constellations, made the later generations confused as we are today.
