They ignored that the Sun actually moves through 13 constellations, so they could assign the existing star signs an equal amount of time. They divided the zodiac into 12 equal parts – which fit perfectly with their 12-month calendar based on the phases of the Moon.īut, as NASA explains, the Babylonians were aware at the time that 13 signs existed, not 12: "So the Babylonians picked one, Ophiuchus, to leave out." When the Babylonians first created the zodiac signs thousands of years ago, it was probably because they felt the changing positions of the constellations throughout the year was important to the people on Earth. It turns out that the Babylonians, who invented the zodiac signs more than 3,000 years ago, chose to intentionally ignore the the thirteenth zodiac sign, ' Ophiuchus' (which means 'serpent-bearer').Īnd now, because of the thousands of years which have passed since they were first devised, the sky has also shifted because Earth’s axis (the North Pole) doesn’t really point in the same direction anymore. NASA has unveiled a completely new zodiac sign, which means all of the other horoscopes have shifted. Originally there were 12 signs however an unearthed report from NASA has shocked some astrology enthusiasts. OPHIUCHUS is the new 13th astrological sign in the Zodiac
