WTF IS OPHICULUS————————??

Basically for quite a long time now Earth's orbit has been different from what traditional Astrology is based on. Traditional astrology dates way back, it is literally ancient. So because Earth's orbit has shifted, the sun doesn't align with the constellations like it used to. The dates shifted a little and now a 13th constellation also ends up in alignment with the sun for a significant portion of time.

If you adhere to the idea that Astrology is strictly based on the alignments of the planets then this is a troublesome realization because it completely shatters the old interpretation.

However if you embrace the idea that Astrology never actually had anything to do with the actual literal alignment of the planets to begin with. Then this isn't a problem because then it's just a matter of which version of astrology, in your experience, is more accurate to who you are.

It's likely personality has no link to the alignment of the planets anyways. That would be magic and we don't believe in such nonsense anymore. It is however, possible that the reason astrology works is because people noticed actual patterns in personality and ARBITRARILY ascribed them to the planets like a language where planets are the "letters"/symbols.
