Maybe this has been the problem with the Browns all along.

Horoscope Hang-Up: Earth Rotation Changes Zodiac Signs
By: Megan Friedman (6 hours ago)

If you're the type of person who relies on mysterious-sounding locations of stars to determine your personality and outcome in life, get ready to be shocked.

The field of astrology, which is concerned with horoscopes and the like, felt a major disruption from astronomers, who are concerned with actual stars and planets. The astronomers from the Minnesota Planetarium Society found that because of the moon's gravitational pull on Earth, the alignment of the stars was pushed by about a month.

"When [astrologers] say that the sun is in Pisces, it's really not in Pisces," noted Parke Kunkle, a member of the group's board. Your astrological sign is determined by the position of the sun on the day you were born, so that means everything you thought you knew about your horoscope is wrong.

It turns out that astrology has had issues from its inception. (Aside from the fact that it tries to link personality traits with positions of the stars.) Ancient Babylonians had 13 constellations, but wanted only 12, so threw out Ophuchicus, the snake holder. Libra didn't even enter the picture until the era of Julius Caesar.

According to the Minnesota Planetarium Society, here is where the real signs of the Zodiac should fall. Get ready for your world to change forever.

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. 23-29.
Ophiuchus: Nov. 29-Dec. 17.
Sagittarius: Dec. 17-Jan. 20.

No grandfathering ? This should be based on where the stars WERE when you were born, not today.

Just means I'll never get curious anymore when I read the paper,....

I enjoy the hell out of the song "Age of Aquarius" and the way they sing it at the end of the 40 Year Old Virgin... now it makes sense.

I've gone from Pisces to Aquarius

I have no clue.

I also don't like that I used to be the coolest name on the list - scorpio - and now somehow I'm a vegetarian, or virgin, or whatever that v thing is.

Good thing I don't give a rip either way.

I went from a supposed Taurus with a strong Aries influence to an Aries.

Big ^%$&( deal.




What the hell is a Ophiuchus anyway? Never heard of such a thing. Better be careful with that pronounciation ......

Drop the "i" and say it real fast and it's what Browns fans have been saying with great regularity since 1995 .......

Hmmm... a "non-profit group" - whose is located on the grounds of the University of Minnesota - comes out with an outlandish announcement that is driving lots of traffic to their site, and oh... they just so happen to be fundraising to build a new planetarium.


Things that make ya go Hmmmmm.

I went from Aries to Pisces, which proves this is utter BS because I am a fiery guy, artistic like Aries, and not a water person at all.
NO WAY am I anything but an Aries, so these scientists can go screw themselves.

that is a great post!

I am a libra it does fit me quite well. A friend shown me this numerology thing where you add up your name and it gives you a number then there is the time you were born and where the moon was at and that gives a number and those numbers describe your personality.

I wouldn't have bought into it but it nailed me to a T.

I switched from Virgo to Leo and was 1 day from the cutoff. I actually happened to be pretty Virgo-like, or so I've been told

Mine didn't change. I'm doomed forever to be the same ass I've always been. Dang, I was really hoping for turning over another leaf.

I went from Leo to Cancer.

I'm not at all sure what that means except that now I appear to have the crabs and can't roar about it.

I was supposedly a Taurus with a string Aries influence. (which would make me a ram headed bull ..... or something) Frankly, I can't see that ..... what me being such a sweet guy and all .... never confrontational ......

Now I'm just a ram? (Aries) I think this is a conspiracy put forth by the Browns to try and convince me that I should accept the for "Ram" coordinator as head coach .......

j/c. what I find is on other sites people are getting really excited about this dropping f- bombs and practically in tears mad over this. Wake up world zodiac signs mean nothing. what a world we could live in if people got this fired up for Jesus
