Why and how did the zodiac signs change?

Why did the zodiac signs change? Did the earth really move that much because it's 2011? And is it officially changed or is it just a media hype thing? It's stupid how some college professor says something and now everybody has a new sign. I used to be a Gemini but now I guess I'm a Taurus.|||my sign has not changed, neither has anyone elses

there are two types of astrology, western and sidereal. both have been around for quite some time. western has 12 signs, sidereal has 13. the "new" sign only applies to sidereal, and it isnt even new. it has been acknowledged for a number of years now. i have known about it since at least 2006 when i bought a number of astrology books, and all of them had chapters on sidereal and mention the 13th sign.





the ONLY way the 13th sign will EVER have ANY bearing on your life is if you choose to believe sidereal over western astrology. babies born after 2009 will have the same signs as those born before 2009. it is NOT a new concept, no ones sign has changed, and babies born 20 years from now will still have the same signs available as those born twenty years ago.





the only reason everyone is so confused is because the news article that started all of this did not bother to point out that there are two types of astrology, and made it sound like the 13th sign was discovered yesterday by some bored dude in minnesota. in reality, sidereal has been around for ages, and the concept of this 13th sign has been well known for YEARS by people who pay any actual attention to astrology|||Apparently there are new dates for the Zodiac Signs according to the Astronomers,

Astrology has always neglected this fact, instead clinging to 12 zodiac "signs" (which are really not "signs" for anything, the sun just seem to pass through these constellations, which in astrology makes them" zodiac signs"). This should tell you something about the validity of astrology (= crap).





And no, the Earth has not "moved" suddenly. Here's what Phil Plait (an actual scientist) writes about this:





"[...] the Earth鈥檚 axis wobbles over time, which has the effect of shifting the positions of the zodiacal constellations in the sky, or, more accurately, the time of the year the Sun passes through them. So it used to be that if you were born on March 22, you were an Aries鈥?if you went by the original timing of when the Sun was in Aries. But now, millennia later, the Sun is actually in Pisces on that date. "

None of the articles written on this hype satisfied my original question as to why a thirteenth sign would even be needed, so I compiled some information on my own.|||uh...... no.
