But the precession of the Earth’s rotational axis, which causes astrological signs to diverge from the zodiac, is the fundamental cause. The Earth’s equator gently bulges due to its rotation, much like how a skater’s skirt fanned out as she spins. The Earth quakes like a top because to the gravitational force of the Moon and Sun on the bulge. Over a period of 25,800 years, the wobble makes the Earth’s axisthe line around which it rotatesswing slowly in a circle.
The constellations appear to slide to the east by around a degree per human lifetime, changing how the zodiac appears to us on Earth. Hipparchus of Nicaea made the slow discovery of precession with the naked eye in about 150 B.C.
The vernal equinox, or the first day of spring, was in Aries in ancient times. It entered Pisces due to precession approximately 100 B.C., remained there until 2700 A.D., when it will enter Aquarius, and so on. It will finally return to Aries and the cycle will start all over again in 25,800 years.
Astrology may be entertaining as a game with its predictions of destiny and personality. The topic, however, has no scientific foundation. What Monopoly is to the real estate market, science is to the subject.
Astrology draws attention away from the planets’ very real influences, particularly their gravitational interactions, which actually modify the sizes, shapes, and tilts of their orbits. Past ice eras on Earth were probably brought on by such shifts. Direct impacts between Earth and celestial bodies can result in extremely quick changes, as was the case 66 million years ago when an asteroid hit the Yucatan Peninsula and had global consequences, including the extinction of dinosaurs and the emergence of mammals.
Astrological prophecies will lead you nowhere at all, but astronomical studies will eventually enable the prediction of such events.

Why don’t I look like my sign?
To me, this seems to be correct. Although I am a Taurus at heart, my Virgo and Sagittarius parents have given me a wonderful identity problem regarding whether I want to be a carefree wanderer or a meticulous planner.
You have too many planets in one sign
Although your solar sign is said to represent the essence of your soul, other planets in your natal chart can add complexity to your personality. A strong Venus placement may allow you to love differently than your star sign stereotype, while your Mercury sign may influence the way you communicate. However, you can manifest as a quite different sign if your Venus, Mercury, Mars, and Pluto are all in the same sign.
Can you have two zodiac signs?
Not quite. People who are born on a zodiac cusp are distinct individuals whose date of birth combines the energy and characteristics of two different signs, rather than formally being born under two signs. This results in a unique astrological personality with a fusion of attributes.
Why do I behave so differently from my zodiac sign?
“Our charts are a mixture of 10 planets in 12 signs and 12 houses from an astrological perspective. Because of the positions of our moon, other planets, and rising signs, we may not behave as our Sun sign would. Just one component of a complicated chart is our Sun sign.”
What makes astrology a fake?
Numerous belief systems known as astrology hold that there is a connection between astrological phenomena and occurrences or personality descriptions in the human realm. The scientific community has rejected astrology as having no ability to explain the universe. There is no proof to back up the astrological traditions’ premises or claimed effects, according to scientific research.
Why do Leos always have it right?
Pride is the only factor that causes Leo to consistently believe they are correct. Even though pride can be a wonderful trait in certain people, it is a terrifying one in Leos since they have just too much of it.
For the sake of their pride, Leos may be able to confess their errors when they’re at home alone at night, in the dark, and beneath the bed, but you’ll never see one throw up their hands and exclaim, “Fine! You triumph! I’m mistaken!
What Zodiac sign believes they are all-knowing?
Virgo thinks they possess all the knowledge and/or expertise required. They typically believe they are excellent at handling the events and difficulties that arise, thus they are happy to impart their knowledge.
For Virgo to offer them (what they believe to be) wise counsel, they don’t even need to know them well. They are by nature quite perceptive, practical, and bright, thus their advise is frequently sound even when it wasn’t requested.
Can you have two zodiacal signs?
There is just one solution, since no one genuinely has two signs, regardless of birth date. However, if you were born only a few days before or just after the Sun changed signs, you were born on the verge and might experience the effects of two different signs.
What are the zodiac cusps?
Generally speaking, if you were born three days before or after the change in signs, you are “on the cusp.” Every cusp era has a name that accurately describes the unique energy it possesses.
- Cusp of Power: 16 to 22 April
- Energy’s Cusp: May 1723
- June 17June 23: Cusp of Magic
- July 1925 is the oscillation threshold.
- Cusp of Exposure: 1925 August
- Cusp of Beauty: 1925 September
- Dramatic Tip-Off: October 1925
- Revolutionary Tip-Off: November 1824
- December 1824, Cusp of Prophecy
- January 1623: On the Cusp of Mystery
- February 1521, Cusp of Sensitivity
- March 1723, Cusp of Rebirth
How does being on the cusp affect you?
If you were born on the verge of a sign, you can discover that you have personality qualities from the sign across from you. For instance, Aries-ruled individuals who are on the verge of Taurus generally make excellent leaders. If you were born an Aries on the cusp of Taurus, however, these tendencies might be tempered by a more grounded, rational Taurean energy, which would help to temper your impatient Aries behaviors that could cause you to make snap decisions and react too quickly. The energy of your two signs could clash, so being a cusper isn’t always sunshine and rainbows.
In either case, having a variety of qualities that can blend and shine in various ways might be a benefit of being born on the cusp. Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of your cusp helps you accept your fascinating and occasionally complex nature.
