The Minnesota Planetarium Society says the astrological signs we follow today are not what the Babylonians intended.
The ancient Babylonians based zodiac signs on the constellation where the sun was present on a persons birthday. However, since the original signs were created, the moon's gravitational pull has changed the Earths position. This created about a month-long bump in the star alignment and our current signs may be off by several days.
"When [astrologers] say that the sun is in Pisces, it's really not in Pisces," said Parke Kunkle, a board member of the Minnesota Planetarium Society.
