Earth’s Wobble Throws Zodiac Out of Alignment

Monday, 10 January 2011 | by Pat's Picks

Anyone who’s ever been let down by their horoscope will find this interesting: According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, most people are not the astrological signs they think they are. Since the Babylonians developed the zodiac symbols many millenniums ago, the Earth has developed a “wobble.”  Over the millenniums, that wobble—the result of the moon’s gravitational pull—has created a “one-month bump in the stars’ alignment.” That means someone who thinks they are a Pisces is actually an Aquarius, and so on.
