Star Truths

Truths and common thoughts need to be challenged and considered. Take something as simple as your mythological birth sign. Almost everyone knows their zodiac sign, but do you know your REAL birth sign.


"The most popular form of traditional Western astrology is sun sign astrology, the kind found in the horoscopes of many daily newspapers. A horoscope is an astrological forecast. The term is also used to describe a map of the zodiac at the time of one’s birth. The zodiac is divided into twelve zones of the sky, each named after the constellation that originally fell within its zone (Taurus, Leo, etc.). The apparent paths of the sun, the moon, and the major planets all fall within the zodiac. Because of the precession of the equinoxes, the equinox and solstice points have each moved westward about 30 degrees in the last 2,000 years, the zodiac constellations named in ancient times no longer correspond to the segments of the zodiac represented by their signs."

In fact, today there should be 13 signs, not 12 Zodiac signs today. The common 12 and their corresponding periods are no longer accurate because they are based on stars positions as they were over 2000 years ago. The movement of stars are slight but after 2000 years its significant enough to change how we relate to them today.

Something so often thought of as a simple truth to our identity...

Think about that.
