Astronomers have restored the original Babylonian zodiac by recalculating the dates that correspond with each sign to accommodate millennia of subtle shifts in the Earth's axis. Prepare to have your minds blown, all you people with easily blowable minds. Here is the zodiac as the ancient Babylonians intended it—with the dates corresponding to the times of the year that the sun is actually in each constellation's "house"—according to the Minnesota Planetarium Society's Parke Kunkle: * Discarded by the Babylonians because they wanted 12 signs per year. I was born a Virgo, and because that's the shittiest sign in the zodiac, I have long refused to believe in astrology and forbid my loved ones from believing in it, either. (My anal retentive need to destroy an entire worldview because I do not like my role in it is, I am told, part of my Virgo nature.) If I'm really a Leo, though, who knows.

Poster Comment: Was listening to the NBC national anchor reading a story about this. He said it was due to precision. Then he went on to describe precession. LOL clueless.

It's not that few people believe in this crap that depresses me, it's that enough people believe in it to make it lucrative.
"I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it." - William S Burroughs
Here's my sign, Hippie "The person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is a friend and an ally — not a 20 percent traitor" - Ronald Reagan
Having been born on the Cusp of Oscillation, I'm still in the same sign but my cusp changes. Virgo is NOT the shittiest sign in the Zodiac. Virgos are practical, stable, modest, shy, meticulous, tidy, reliable, diligent, analytical and intelligent-- extremely valuable traits. : ) Just did a quick check and I will be moving to the Cusp of Magic. Bring on the charm, magnatism and brilliance baby!!

I can see where we would want to align our zodiac with that of the Babylonians, their being such a penultimate example of civilization.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.
Agreed, I suggest everyone pray for the Great Dogmatic Convergence and help the process along by sending me some of those gift packages with cheese and little jars of preserves.

I'm not sure if mine changes or not. Not that it makes any difference since my horoscope is always wrong. I don't believe in this crap either. However we are the results (Virgo's) of some pretty heavy love making around the winter holidays. Only you got big boobs outta the results.
Those born on cusps have aspects of both signs. You are on the cusp of mystery and imagination.....how intriguing!! ; ) Some traits: disciplined, patient, loyal, traditional, ambitious, offbeat, progressive, cautious, practical, friendly, realistic, curious, stable, funny, confident, unique, attractive, competitive and multi-talented. They may also be rebellious, narrow-minded, cold, harsh, depressed, stubborn, secretive, aloof and over-critical. But Dillo would never be any of that...

That was part of the article. I'm an Aquarian. Or I was.
Tough women come from New York, sweet women from Texas, prissy women from Southern California, but we NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WOMEN have fire & ice in our blood. We can ride 4-wheelers, be a princess, throw a left hook, pack heat, hunt with the men, bake a cake, love with passion, and if we have an opinion, you know you're going to hear it!! LOL no but I would. Maybe I should switch to Capricorn.

Agreed, I suggest everyone pray for the Great Dogmatic Convergence and help the process along by sending me some of those gift packages with cheese and little jars of preserves. Being of practical nature I will settle for small unmarked bills in large packages, or Amazon Gift Certificates.

I get along well with Virgos too. Husband was born on 9/11.

I think I'll stay with Aquarius.
Shit.. I don't wish to be Virgo! :-P
Solutions for Ireland. Say NO to the IMF/World bank. Default on our debt. Print our own debt free currency. Nationalise the trillion euros worth of gas and oil off our west coast. Take back our fishing (200 billion worth). Get our farmers growing again. Done deal if our politicians had the backbone. ~ Jim Corr
I so tempted to post this on my profile - to confuse all the New Agers on my Friends List over at Facebook. lol

Same here. I was born on 7/18 and always thought I was a crab. @ abraxas: Can you tell me about Gemini? Or have my displayed qualities totally disproved astrology? ;) I did a chart recently. I tried to understand it. Except for some very basic info gleaned from a tutorial (the info fit me, BTW), I failed. .

How can Feb. 16 be both Capricorn and Aquarius?
I guess I can choose, so I'll stay Aquarius.

Can you tell me about Gemini? I did a chart recently. I tried to understand it I'm a late in the month crab too--you just missed the cusp of Leo that brings more fire for crabs. Crabs are more introverted than Gemini--crabs tend to be homebodies and we like that. Gemini is a social butterfly--flitting from one group to the next, prone to hundreds of associatiates but only a few close friends. The sign is ruled by Mercury so Gemini's are very talkative. However, this is still an air sign which makes them aloof--not as emotionally involved as water signs tend to be. Gemini's are more in their heads while crabs sulk around in their hearts more often. Gemini's are the most dual of all signs (twins) prone to frequent changing of the mind. As with all signs, it is important where the planets fall into the houses. This makes reading charts very arduous for people who aren't familiar with what each house entails and wheather the planets that fall into them are in a place that is beneficial or not. Aries as an ascendant sign are lucky in that the houses are first ordered, making it easier to read the chart. The ascendant sign orders all houses while the sun sign is what people refer to in general. Cancer are the most subconscious of all the signs, responding to life through feelings and intuition. To really read a chart, one must understand the signs, houses and the planets in order to determine how the three interact to create the life lessons a person will encounter and how to best learn from them. This is why snippit style horoscopes are generally useless. : ) If you really want to learn more about it, I recommend Isabel Hickey's "Astrology: A Cosmic Science" as it is one of most readable for the layman.
Same here. I was born on 7/18 and always thought I was a crab.
