Even if the constellations have changed places, this does not affect astrology in any way, that is, the signs have not changed
Let’s get to the direct answer: the signals have not changed. Among all the arguments used in matters that aim to disqualify the Astrologythe most repeated is the one that tries to convince the reader that the astrological zodiac is wrong.
The supposed “mistake” of the astrological zodiac resurfaces from time to time and tends to strike the unprepared. If the authors of these articles had the slightest care to consult those who understand the topic, they could avoid exposing themselves.
The zodiac of astrology is not the zodiac of astronomy. Astrological signs are not constellations.
And this is something known by any astrologer with a minimum of knowledge. Even astronomers, who generally don’t like astrology and don’t believe in it, know this.
Ronaldo Rogério Mourão, one of Brazil’s greatest astronomers, who recently passed away, became angry when someone criticized astrology based on this alleged “error” in the signs. Mourão did not believe in astrology, but he knew that this was not the point from which the subject could be criticized.
The differences between signs and constellations explain why signs have not changed in astrology
You Astrological signs they are geometric. They result from the division of the zodiac ecliptic by twelve. Thousands of years ago, sky scientists decided to delimit this virtual division, using the stars as “signal flags”.
They didn’t “see” a lion when they drew the constellation Leo. They didn’t think there was a lion in the sky. Underestimating the ancients as if they were superstitious ignoramuses is another common mistake.
Have you ever stopped to see the constellations and look for signs on them? You have to work hard to see a Virgo in the constellation of Virgo. Of all the constellations, the one that most resembles a sign is Scorpio.
Furthermore, the constellations are very unequal in size. The ancients knew very well that the constellations were not the signs of Astrology.
What happens is simple: some celestial constellations have names similar to those of the zodiac signs. But when someone talks about the sign Cancer, for example, it is not the same thing as referring to the constellation Cancer..
Therefore, even if the constellations have changed places over the course of two thousand years, this does not change anything for Western astrology.
The signs have not changed, your astral chart remains the same
Astrological signs are projections of the Earth. Have you ever stopped to think about what the tropics of Capricorn and Cancer are? They are signs. These signs – all twelve – are on Earth, not in heaven. What is in the sky are the planets, whose positions are interpreted based on the angles they form with respect to the Earth.
So, forget about the “NASA Zodiac”. NASA does not have an official “zodiac”. Constellations, for astronomers, are nothing more than cultural conventions.
Conclusion: If you were born on August 27, for example, the The Sun is in the zodiac sign of Virgo.
The alignment between the Sun and a given constellation has no importance in Astrology, and no quality astrologer mistakes one thing for the other. The only people who insist on confusing this sort of thing are uninformed journalists.
Astrology is a practical application of geometry, just as music is a practical application of arithmetic. These four knowledges (Astrology, Geometry, Music and Arithmetic) were part of the structure called “quadrivium”, the subjects taught at the beginning of the educational process, in ancient schools.
Having said all this, what remains for me to say with conviction is: Yes, your sign is exactly what you think.
