Don't panic- your star sign has NOT changed!

While we've all seen the news that the star signs are changing- no need to stress, because you're safe.

NASA themselves have confirmed that they did NOT change the zodiac, and honestly, we're relived.

Astronomers don't even have that power. Because astronomy and astrology are very different things and only one is considered the domain of scientists.

"We see your comments about a zodiac story that re-emerges every few years," the United States space agency recently tweeted.

👀 We see your comments about a zodiac story that re-emerges every few years. No, we did not change the zodiac.

When the Babylonians invented the constellations 3,000 years ago, they chose to leave out a 13th sign. So, we did the math: https://t.co/DQOs5VSjT7 pic.twitter.com/WlblguobGT

The origin of this alleged 'zodiac change' dates back to 2016- so it's really nothing new.

Basically 3,000 years ago Babylonians first invented the 12 signs of zodiac, a birthday between about July 23 and August 22 meant being born under the constellation Leo.

"Now, 3,000 years later, the sky has shifted because Earth's axis (North Pole) doesn't point in quite the same direction."- meaning there is technically a thirteenth costellation.

Adding in a thirteenth zodiac, astronomers then calculated new dates for our star signs:

Capricorn: Jan 20 - Feb 16

Aquarius: Feb 16 - March 11

Pisces: March 11 - April 18

Aries: April 18 - May 13

Taurus: May 13 - June 21

Gemini: June 21 - July 20

Cancer: July 20 - Aug 10

Leo: Aug 10 - Sept 16

Virgo: Sept 16 - Oct 30

Libra: Oct 30 - Nov 23

Scorpio: Nov 23 - Nov 29

Ophiuchus: Nov 29 - Dec 17

Sagittarius: Dec 17 - Jan 20

Of course, this wasn't suggesting any kind of official star sign change - it was just interesting math.

So do whatever with this info- we're just happy we don't have to relearn a whole new sign!
