As usual, money well spent.
Then too those astrologers way back in the early centuries making those forecasts didn’t know there were a few more planets whizzing around out there.
This is stupid. NASA declares a 13th zodiac sign, why? To create a controversy so they can ‘respond’ to us rubes who have questions? NASA needs to have their budget fined for such arrogance.
Well, NASA believes in that primitive religion that worships “Climate Change”. It isn’t a stretch at all for NASA to endorse astrology as well.
Sounds like.NASA got punked.
NASA never did this. This is an email hoax.
P.S. Sorry Mars won’t be as big as the full moon this August, that’s a hoax too
It’s the Sign of Trump!
NASA didn't "change" the astrological signs. Precession of the earth's orbit caused it.
Ancient astrologists picked the "signs" 2,000 years ago. A lot has changed since then.
I've found articles about this as far back as 2007. I've surprised several people with this trivia in the past few years, explaining that they weren't born under the "sign" they thought.
And if anyone really thinks NASA is taking this seriously, the "announcement" was a "fun fact" posted on a web portal intended for children.
Wouldn’t 13 zodiac signs reconcile with the islamic lunar driven calendar?
Or might it be a load of Taurus?
The signs in the stars might or might not indicate influences to the good or ill, however it is people’s choice before God as to what to do in the face of these influences that matters the most in the end.
I take this stuff at arm’s length. Sometimes I notice that horoscopes and the like are attempting to coax me in a direction that God isn’t wanting me to pursue at that time, even if it might be a nice thing in the abstract. Like telling me it is a good time to travel when my greatest interests are developing to be local.
I think that the season a baby is born in does indeed affect their emotional and mental outlook from the beginning, and I’ve read at least two studies that suggest that there are health variations and longevity issues that correspond to birth season, probably having to do with temperature, food supply, light, maternal stress level during gestation, etc. I suspect that astrology is merely a pre-scientific way to try and explain these patterns.
Constellations don’t exist as actual astronomical objects.
“Astrology is fake.” Hmmph. Sounds like something a Libra would say. Remember, these are the people who will also tell you that Perfessional Rasslin’ is fake.
This is akin to declaring Pluto a non-planet. The ecliptic has passed through Ophiuchus since I was a boy (ancient times), and very long before that. Nothing new has happened in the sky to precipitate a change in definition.
In any case, defining the Zodiac as 12 or 13 (or 14, for that matter), is a matter of arbitrary definitions and arbitrarily defined boundaries. Maybe NASA is just trying to get some attention.
But what about the tall dark and handsome man I am going to meet on the 12th?
This was predicted long ago by an astrologer.
Any more, if someone asks me what sign I was born under I’ll tell them ‘the cross’.
NASA Says Astrology Fake”
Are they going to immediately stop giving degrees in Economics then??
Anybody who believes in astrology is a fool.
Not to muddle the discussion further, but...
the constellation Cetus gets within a degree of the zodiacal belt and occasionally the planets will be in Cetus. The sun too, I believe.
Doesn’t matter unless you’re a Pisces. Then you’re usually a nice fishy person but once in a while a ghastly sea monster.
