That actually sounds pretty badass. I think there's also another name for that constellation instead of Ophiuchus. Is it Serpentarius? I might be mistaken...

I haven't given a shit about this at all.

But it seems that the stars that influenced your birth remain your guiding stars; you don't get adopted by a new 'star set' after this. This apparently only affects newborns.

Back to not giving a shit.

Well except that this is because of the precession of the earth which is the kind of thing that happens over hundreds/thousands of years, not over a few decades.

Which is to say that if you go by the guiding stars, and not the seasons version of astrology, these 'new' stars were your guiding stars all along. You were just lieeeeed to.

Lie of omission, due to no one outside of the astrological community* really knowing about the difference between the tropical and sidereal systems, but a lie all the same.

*I consider the fact that this even exists a failure of the human race.

No, the failure is that more often than you would like, people Mix Astrology with Astronomy as being the same thing.

Also, any reason to post a Neil Degrasse Tyson video is a good reason

There are many failures of the human race. An inordinate amount center around things like astrology.

Yay.

Though though new born Scorpios are going to be very few and far apart now. The one constellation that got screwed short. XD

so....

The sun was in a certain position in the cosmos when i was born, thus i was a born Aquarius.

Now, he is no longer in that position, so the starts have changed in their relation to earth, thus someone who was born in the same day as me today would be a Capricorn.

Isn't that... how it is?

... also, has a fuck been given?

Ah but I was referring to the eastern hemisphere.
