New Astrological Signs For You And Your Friends? Find Out!

New Astrological Signs

Are you who you think you are? Maybe not, according to a new version of astrological signs.

The Internet is abuzz this week about the claim that most of us have new Zodiac signs.

Is it true? Well, as CNN explains, it depends how you look at it. Eastern astrology typically relies on sidereal zodiac (based on constellations), while Western astrology - what most of us are familiar with - has been associated with tropical zodiac (based on seasons).

Sidereal zodiac has a 13th sign, Ophiuchus, throwing a wrench on the well-known 12-sign system. If you believe in constellations like the ancients do, you may want to take a look at your sidereal zodiac. That's the "new" system.

While the debate rages on, whether we should adhere to sidereal or tropical Zodiac for our true sign, it's a great time to see if you and your friends would have a new sign if the system truly switched. Use our handy app below to find out! And see all new Zodiac sign dates here.

I am really interested in finding out about Serpentarius. I find a lot of resistance to it, but the facts would seem to suggest that it has always been a part of the original Zodiac which was indeed, based on where the stars are in the sky when one is born. It only became seasonal, it would seem, from what I've read, to suit religious superstitions and then to pretend it was not for religious superstitions. The serpent made such religious sorts fear the devil, or anti christ and there are 12 deciples 12 this's and that's and so on to justify to the religious superstitious types to take it out. The Western Astrology is born. I don't mean to upset anyone who is fond of their Western sign. I think you should be a little more open to the possibility that the other sign you may be is just as wonderful. I don't take well to religious superstitious types rearranging truths so much so and for so long that not too many people realize this is what they've been believing in. A lie. I'm not even saying that religion is a lie, so don't go there. I'm saying fear-based religion is riddled with ridiculous lies and deceptions.

As is, most ‘Western’ astrologers who utilize the Tropical Zodiac (Sayana) have yet to realize the profound Vedic heritage and gnosis of their art; and Indian astrologers mistakenly celebrate a calendar that is calculated by looking to the constellations (Sidereal/Nirayana) rather than by looking to the Earth’s own measure. And on top of this, few have imagined that the four-fold 12-month Zodiac and the triadic Circle of 9/0 in tandem or simultaneously describe the unified field of Time and Space which extends from the Soul. (from 'Restoring the Soul of Knowledge in the Age of Aquarius')

Astrology is junk and the people who believe in it are fools.

I have read about this change in our zodiac signs and the whole time find that the new system is wrong......it is more of an emotion or a feeling that it is wrong. Because I am now 57 years old and all my life I act and conduct my life as a Virgo would....I have the characteristics of a Virgo, not a Leo.....I know that horoscopes is not really a science, or religion..but I am the face a lot of people in my life, know is a Virgo, because of who I am, how I act and the way I conduct myself..I'm just saying....

No wonder the ladies looked at me funny in bars when I'd use the "what's your sign" pick up line. It's not that they thought my line sucked, they just didn't know the answer. :-)

You would think CNN would check their facts before they confuse people with erroneous information. Unless that was their true intention ... This one here is both false and old.
