Astrology Signs Change 2011

Over the past decade, astrology has become a seemingly irreplaceable part of popular culture. In Western astrology, there are twelve segments of the zodiac, with no connections between the constellations.

Recent changes in the Earth’s alignment have led to astrological changes. With new differences in the movements of the Earth and Sun, there will be a new Zodiac.

The 13th Zodiac sign will be Ophiuchus, named for a constellation located around the celestial equator.

Ophiuchus lies between Scorpius and Sagittarius. As such, its placement will be between the two, with its dates ranging from November 29 to December 17.

Astrology is an ancient practice, dating back to 3,000 years ago. As many years have passed, the Earth’s position relative to the sun has changed. Fortunately for some, though many people may now be born under a different sign, experts reveal that the new sign should not affect horoscope readings.

The symbol for Ophiuchus is based on the Rod of Asclepius. Asclepius was the Greek god of medicine and healing. His rod forms the basis for today’s most common medical symbol, the rod with the snake wrapped around it. Notably, famed historian Hippocrates worshiped Asclepius most out of all the other Gods.
