New Zodiac Sign Dates: Well actually they are not all that new, the process of the Zodiac Sign Dates changing has been happening for thousands of years and will continue to do so.
Earlier today Astronomer Parke Kunkle let it be known how the Astrologers have been getting their dates wrong on the Zodiac for so long. However, I can’t help but feel he is wasting his breath. The Astrology world tends to give little notice to what Astronomers have to say. One of the most famous amateur astronomers on the planet, Sir Patrick Moore, 87, has mentioned the Zodiac alignment shift on more than one occasion on TV. In fact the first time I can remember him discussing it was over 15 years ago on his popular TV show “The Sky at Night”. If the Astrology world won’t listen to an Astronomer of his caliber, they are not likely to listen to anyone else.
So why exactly have the Zodiac Signs been changing? Well it is all to do with the Earths tilt. The Earth basically wobbles on it axis, which of course changes the alignment. When Astrology first started around 3 thousand years ago, the stars were in a different position then. The Zodiac Signs are out by around 1 month. So if you are into Astrology, here are the actual signs and dates you may wish to follow, given the current alignment;
