Why do the dates of the zodiac signs differ?
The finding was first announced by NASA in a blog post earlier this year, explaining that when the ancient Babylonians developed the zodiac over 3,000 years ago, they wanted dates on the calendar to match to star constellations. However, there were 13 constellations to consider, and they were using a 12-month calendar. As a result, they abandoned Ophiuchus.
NASA also pointed out that the Earth’s axis no longer points in the same direction as it did when the constellations were first drawn, therefore all of our signs now have various date ranges.
To put it another way, astrological turmoil. NASA’s science nerds don’t seem to mind that they’ve turned our lives upside down. “Here at NASA, we study astronomy, not astrology,” they said in a statement last week. We didn’t make any changes to the zodiac signs; we simply did the math.”
