Astronomers have restored the original Babylonian zodiac by recalculating the dates that correspond with each sign to accommodate millennia of subtle shifts in the Earth's axis. Prepare to have your minds blown, all you people with easily blowable minds.

Here is the zodiac as the ancient Babylonians intended it—with the dates corresponding to the times of the year that the sun is actually in each constellation's "house"—according to the Minnesota Planetarium Society's Parke Kunkle:

Capricorn: Jan. 20-Feb. 16.
Aquarius: Feb. 16-March 11.
Pisces: March 11-April 18.
Aries: April 18-May 13.
Taurus: May 13-June 21.
Gemini: June 21-July 20.
Cancer: July 20-Aug. 10.
Leo: Aug. 10-Sept. 16.
Virgo: Sept. 16-Oct. 30.
Libra: Oct. 30-Nov. 23.
Scorpio: Nov. 23-29.
Ophiuchus:* Nov. 29-Dec. 17.
Sagittarius: Dec. 17-Jan. 20.

* Discarded by the Babylonians because they wanted 12 signs per year.

"This is not something that happened today. This has gone on for thousands of years," said astronomer Parke Kunkle. The star doctors say Earth is currently in a different spot in relation to the Sun, and its equatorial alignment has changed from 3,000 years ago when the study of astrology began -- back when 12 zodiac signs were assigned to 12 different periods of the year. Those signs you were born into are different now because the Earth's wobble on its axis has created a one-month bump in the alignment of the stars, according to Kunkle. "Because of this change of tilt, the Earth is really over here in effect and Sun is in a different constellation than it was 3,000 years ago."

Still a Sagittarius.

I'm okay with that. We'd win in a fight.

Worry not, dear friend. It's all bollocks anyway and has no scientific bearing on your life or anyone elses.

Still a Pisces!

What's this "Worthless Virgo" thing? I LIKE being a Virgo! (August 24)

From Leo to Cancer

HA!!

This actually explains why, as a Gemini, I actually get along with Tauruses.

On this zodiac I'm a Taurus.

But really I'm a Gemini. I do have two sides and some of the time they're both friends.

Nonsense!

My daughter's one and she's the shit.

I'm really, genuinely annoyed by this. I mean, it doesn't "blow my mind" or anything. As I'm always saying, time and calendars are all nonsensical man-made constructs anyway. But I like being an Aquarius. In fact... I refuse to stop being an Aquarius.

By this chart I missed it by 2. I don't know if it previously fell on different dates as the others did. If so, I supposed I could've been

No way. I am def a Virgo through and through. Sept 11 all the way!

Actually...

This changes very little for me. I'm a Gemini (under the real chart ), but my rising sign is Taurus. So I always read for both, anyway.
