Hello sojourners Do You Know Your Real Sign? Don't be surprised that your birthday is not in the sign you've grown up with. What astrologers said was wrong; they don't know what sign you are. Look out into the galaxies, like a star gazer, and you'll see the problem. The Sun, Moon and the planets are not where astrology says, and usually in the sign before. Mainstream "Tropical" astrology uses an 1800-year-old-map of the sky and one look at the real sky will disprove their horoscopes.
Tropical ignored the Earth's precession of the equinoxes and developed a 28-degree error that's like a tumor in astrology. Science and the rest of the world abandoned the Tropical calendar over 400 years ago. But that's not only thing that Tropical astrologers get wrong.
A 13th Sign is Really There The Zodiac has 13, not 12, signs! The constellation of the goddess Ophiuchus, the snake handler, can clearly be seen emerging from Scorpio and leaping up to Vega. Yet, she's a non-entity in Tropical astrology, and is disguised as an old man. She is one of the eponymous (original) signs, based on the 28 day, 13-month lunar calendar. Ptolemy revised it in the 2nd century ACE by deleting Ophiuchus and the gender of other female gods, and superimposing a static Zodiac with 12 thirty-degree houses.

The astrological signs are not defined by the constellations you see in the sky. In antiquity, when both astrological and astronomical thinking were based on insufficient data, the names of the constellations happened to be paired with the astrological signs.
Today, those pairings are no longer in sync: Astrological signs do not line up with the constellations in the same way they did way back then, due to the precession of the equinoxes.
Modern Western astrologers understand this perfectly. It's irrelevant to their work because the information upon which they base their hypotheses does not involve a study of distant stars or constellations.
Rather, their data have to do with the movements of the planets in our own solar system within a zone of influence defined by the relationship between the Earth and Sun.
The key demarcation points in that relationship are the equinoxes and solstices. At the Northern Hemisphere's vernal equinox, which occurs on about March 20th of each year, the Sun enters into the sign of Aries. At the Northern Hemisphere's summer solstice, the sun enters into the sign of Cancer. The locations of the constellations are irrelevant; the "influence of the stars" isn't considered.
To reiterate: Western astrologers don't work with stars or constellations. Their focus is our solar system. They study the patterns of the planets and the moon as they pass through 12 zones defined by the relationship between the Earth and sun. Those zones have the same names as constellations because of a historical quirk, but they are unrelated to the constellations.
When Parke Kunkle triumphantly says, "There is no physical connection between constellations and personality traits," as if he has finally stamped out the delusions of us astrologers, he doesn't realize that we agree with him completely. We don't deal with constellations.
