Bad news: your Zodiac sign may have just changed! If you believe in astrology, and you have lived your life based on you Zodiac sign you may have been living a lie!

Astronomers in Minnesota took the zodiac and adapted it based on the way the Earth’s axis was shifted during the Babylonian period, when it was created. That threw off all of the dates when the sun is in each zodiac constellation’s “house.”

So if you want to believe today’s scientists, here’s the way that Zodiac signs are actually supposed to break down:

Capricorn: January 20th to February 16th.

Aquarius: February 16th to March 11th.

Pisces: March 11th to April 18th.

Aries: April 18th to May 13th.

Taurus: May 13th to June 21st.

Gemini: June 21st to July 20th.

Cancer: July 20th to August 10th.

Leo: August 10th to September 16th.

Virgo: September 16th to October 30th.

Libra: October 30th to November 23rd.

Scorpio: November 23rd to December 17th.

Sagittarius: December 17th to January 20th.

    This is just amazing. considering I got Sagittarius jewelry for birthday.

  • Maria

    Good grief. I thought it was going to be adjusted by a day or two…this is almost a month’s difference! No one is going to suddenly start following these dates.

  • Marisaa

    My birthday is December 17th so does that mean I am Scorpio or Saggitarius? The date says both… ???

  • Belle

    This is not good!!

  • Evelyn

    What the heck! I based my whole life following these silly traditions and now they are wrong? I am no longer a mermaid, but a waterbearer! This sucks!!!!

  • Scott C

    What about the new sign, Ophiuchus?

    I was a Pisces, now Aquarius. Huh, that seems like a smooth transition.

  • Vinny

    I always knew I was a Gemini and not a Cancer!!! This is not shocking!

  • Amy

    That’s BS… I’m a total Cancer…

    Well, at least I didn’t get that nonsense tatooed anywhere…

  • vAEr JO

    Umm…no thank you. I’ll stick to the old ways. I do indeed like my shell. I will be a Cancer at heart always. I feel nothing like a Gemini.

  • Jared Pereira

    This totally sucks! I don’t understand why and how they can “all of a sudden” change the signs…Who gets to make this decision??? I’m pissed.

  • Mary

    eff this! I’m going to stay a Sagittarius.

  • Lynn Shoop

    NOT! According to this, I am now a Leo and not a Virgo anymore. No way. Couldn’t be any farther from the truth. I am a total Virgo to the nth degree. My husband is a Leo, and he’s a total Leo. His sign didn’t change. And as far as I’m concerned, neither did mine.

  • nona Windus

    What the Heck

  • Rose

    But I don’t want to be a Scorpio. I like being a Sagittarius!

  • Sam

    Dang it, if i was born 1 DAY LATER i would have still been a tauros

  • Kevin

    Sorry to inform you Marisaa, but you are now a Scorpigitarius.

  • Marcus D.

    This is dumb. I haven’t been a Virgo since I was 13.

  • Jeff Jawer

    This is bogus. We astrologers have been basing signs on the seasons for over 2000 years and they have not changed. This is either a case of ignorance or intentional deception.

  • Penelope6

    I don’t believe it. I’m all Aries. No way I’m a Pisces. No way my ex-BF is an Aries. I’m more man than he is (P.S. I am not a man)

  • http://facebook cortney neely

    This is bull. I’ve been an aries personality my whole 29 yrs. I have friends that have there sign personalities there whole life. I’m sticking to I’m an aries & all my friends are there signs. I don’t like the new signs.

  • Rita

    There’s something really wrong with this… each sign has 1 day that’s the same as another. So what sign is the person who’s birthday lands on those dates? Check out Dec. 17th, Sag or Scropio and Nov. 23rd, Scorpio or Libra. Unless they want to add more signs, like Sagcropio or Scorlibra….. and so on

  • Ben Palmer

    Keep off the mystery stuff all of you. It just does not matter. Go greet your neighbor and make them pie.

    And give a dollar to the homeless guy.

    Stars my foot!

  • Eddy

    That makes you a Saggitorpio!

  • savanah

    yea right; why are the zodiac end & start date is on the same date; BS

  • Faye

    Yeah, I’m with you on that.

  • Webmaster

    Looked this up and it appears these dates overlap because they are based on the sun’s location and switch over at noon.

  • Amberleigh

    I still don’t understand why it changed…? I need a in-depth explanation.

  • CD
  • Bob

    I have a feeling this is just to troll dumb people who believe in this kinda bull.

  • Sandy

    This can’t even be correct because there are truly 13 signs of the zodiac. Ophiuchus is just getting screwed because 13 is an unlucky number.

  • scorpiogirl

    Yeah, right! Are we actually going to believe a group of astronomers from MINNESOTA?!?!?!

  • Me

    >:P Capricorn for ever!!!

  • amber

    thats bull crao..we were born witglh wat sign we have..u cannot change it for anything..so stop trying to change our signs..i qas born a gemeni and i will die a gemeni..thank u very much

  • matt

  • matt

    dont believe this bs its a scam so everyone in the world buys new birthstones!!!!!!

  • TiffanyB.

    As Vin would say “STUPID.”

  • David

    Right, as if astrology.com would actually say they’ve been wrong this whole time…

  • Sandrine

    Is this for real? Are the newspapers horoscopes going by this? I’m sooo confused….lol.

  • jill

    so- I think this is a bunch of researchers working on their dissertations- good, solid research for that reason – but life changing for those around them????not so much!

  • Carina

    I don’t believe it. Once a LIBRA always a LIBRA!

  • marisa

    I was on the cusp of leo and virgo I always felt when I read leo I related and did not relate to virgo being my sign. But alas I was right I am what I always felt I was a true leo! horray for the truth at last

  • Rob

    So if I went from being a Gemini to Taurus, what will happen to my other personality?

  • Ei
