@Hypocrisy_Central: It’s not a hoax… It’s just not accepted by the astrology community.
The following is from an article on time.com:
’“Astronomy is the scientific study of everything in outer space,” wrote NASA. “Astrology is something else. It’s not science.”
The lengthy post explains that NASA made its update based on hard facts, pointing out that if you want to blame anyone for playing fast and loose with the stars, point the finger at the Babylonians for leaving out Ophiuchus entirely. “To make a tidy match with their 12-month calendar, the Babylonians ignored the fact that the sun actually moves through 13 constellations, not 12. Then they assigned each of those 12 constellations equal amounts of time,” NASA wrote. “So, we didn’t change any zodiac signs…we just did the math.”’
So is there a 13th constellation in this set of constellations…? Yes. Is it recognized by the original Babylonian interpretation? No. Is it accepted by most modern astrologists? Nah. But it does exist and if you are trying to be rational in your belief of this phenomenon (which is kind of an oxymoron), you’ll have to acknowledge Ophiuchus.
