Has the Zodiac Changed?
A story that the astrological chart has shifted, changing many people’s signs, has caused panic. But calm down! “Everything stays the same,” says astrologist Susan Miller.
Never has the question, “What’s your sign?” been the subject of so much controversy. Ever since Parke Kunkle, an astronomer out of Minneapolis, gave an interview to a Minnesota TV station last Saturday, discussing how there’s a so-called 13th sign, the oddly named Ophiuchus, the world has gone topsy-turvy. Kunkle’s revelation (which both astrologers and astronomers agree is old news) that the Earth’s wobble—which has moved it 23 degrees since the Babylonians began reading the skies—means that the constellations have shifted.
