重大發現：現行12星座日期有誤

美國明尼蘇達州的一位天文學家研究發現，我們現在遵循的12星座起始日期是錯誤的，每個星座時段都應該後移一個月。他解釋說，古巴比倫人對星座的劃分是根據人出生時太陽所處的星座來確定的。地球在繞着太陽公轉的同時，還發生自轉。由於受到月球的引力，地球在自轉過程中會發生偏移。在過去的3000年中，地球的偏移角度已達30度，因而12星座的時段也應該相應後移一個月。另外，這位天文學家還指出，古巴比倫人最初劃分星座時有13個星座，多出的那一個爲蛇夫座。不過，爲了與12個月相對應，蛇夫座在幾千年前就被排除在外。

A Minnesota astronomer confirms what many have suspected: Your horoscope is quite possibly wrong.

Earth's shifts on its axis over the past 3,000 years have changed the 12 zodiac signs. For example, think your sign is Aquarius? You may be a Pisces. (There's also a 13th sign, Ophiuchus, that's based on a constellation the ancient Babylonians threw out for symmetry thousands of years ago.)

So who's to blame for this scam on zodiac devotees?

The ancient Babylonians based the zodiac on which constellation the sun appeared to be in when a person was born. Since then, the moon's has exerted a gravitation pull on Earth, causing a "wobble" on its axis that has shifted the stars' alignment by about a month, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports.

"Because of this change in the tilt, the Earth is over here and the sun is in a different constellation than it was 3,000 years ago when this study of the stars began," astronomer Parke Kunkle told the Twin Cities' KARE-TV.

The shift isn't new, Kunkle says -- the zodiac world just hasn't taken the wobble into account.

Here's your new sign below:
