When NASA formally announced in 2016 that there is a 13th Zodiac Constellation, people everywhere were so shocked. They felt that NASA had been withholding information from the public. Cosmopolitan, an entertainment news outlet that does daily horoscopes for its users, published a story immediately providing the new borders for the zodiac symbols. Later in the month, Cosmopolitan edited the post to correct that NASA had not hidden anything. Since Babylonian times, the 13th zodiac, Ophiuchus, has been scientific knowledge. They just ‘did the math’. Using only 12 was easier to match with the lunar calendar. Many people feel as if everything they had assumed to be true is wrong, but the recognition of Ophiuchus deals with astronomy and constellations, not how we perceive our signs, astrology. Take a look and see if yours has changed!
