‘Is Ophiuchus The New Sagittarius?’ No NASA Is NOT Changing Your Zodiac Sign
‘Is Ophiuchus The New Sagittarius?’ No NASA Is NOT Changing Your Zodiac Sign
If you’re being hit by a massive wave of déjà vu then know that you’re not alone.
This ‘zodiac signs changing’ is very much in the same boat as the ‘the world will end in X amount of days’, where both the topics somehow get recycled every year and claim that NASA has something to do/say about it.
Since Dubai peeps have been rigorously researching this topic over the last few days, we thought of setting some facts straight about the 13th zodiac sign, and whether or not this will change the time frame of each existing horoscope and put an end to this MADNESS once and for all.
Zodiac signs are a huge part of our identities, how we understand ourselves and use our horoscopes to make sense of the seemingly nonsensical, so news of zodiac signs supposedly changing may come as a huge SHOCKER to many.
For starters, ‘Ophiuchus’ is no new sign! It’s been around for ages – initially discovered by the Ancient Greeks thousands of years ago
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, (NASA) has not ‘discovered’ Ophiuchus AKA ‘the serpent-bearer’ fam, it’s been a part of the constellation for millenniums now. Nor does NASA have anything to do with astrology.
According to many reports, this apparent 13th sign affects those born between 29 November and 17 December (mainly Sagittarians), although that is nothing to worry about because Ophiuchus is a constellation and NOOOTTT a sign of the zodiac; leaving the zodiac chart as is.
Poor Ophiuchus was first left out by Babylonians (who lived over 3,000 years ago and created the zodiac chart). Knowing there were 13 constellations, they consciously drew up the chart with only 12 zodiac signs
This was to neatly match constellations with the 12 months in the annual calendar. So they left behind Ophiuchus and adapted the 12-star sign zodiac chart that we know today.
*If* Ophiuchus was to make an entry in the zodiac sharts the new dates would look like this:
- Capricorn: 20 January to 15 February
- Aquarius: 16 February to 11 March
- Pisces: 11 March to 18 April
- Aries: 18 April to 13 May
- Taurus: 13 May to 21 June
- Gemini: 21 June to 20 July
- Cancer: 20 July to 10 August
- Leo: 10 August to 16 September
- Virgo: 16 September to 30 October
- Libra: 30 October to 23 November
- Scorpio: 23 November to 29 November
- Ophiuchus: 29 November to 17 December
- Sagittarius: 17 December to 20 January
However, your zodiac sign is STILL the same fam.

Anyone else felt personally victimized by the supposed introduction of Ophiuchus into the Zodiac chart?!
Kinda feel bad for the fella now…
Ophiuchus is the new sagittarius?? NO WAY!

Although this does NOT apply, if you happen to fall into the Ophiuchus window, then just know that being a part of the snake-bearer fam ain’t all that bad! Plenty of powerful traits rule your house
To make things clear one more time, this does not affect people born before, after in the middle of 2016 or any other year! The zodiac charts are STILL the same with the same 12 core signs
This is for people born after 2016 I think

FYI, NASA has nothing to do with astrology. As astrology has been rejected by the scientific community for having zero explanatory power for describing the universe
Astrology is all about numbers and a belief system that revolves around the astronomical phenomena in relation with events or descriptions of personality in the human world.

Check out the constellations yourself with this slick portable telescope
This portable telescope is a treat to budding astronomers and space troopers, plus it comes with a smartphone eyepiece adapter to take pics of all the great ‘out of this world’ discoveries that you make.
Promising reviews:
“I bought this as a gift for my son. I finally found something interesting to have his attention. He will keep saying Galileo when he saw the telescope. He knows Galileo always shows with a telescope in pictures of books. So easy to carry with you for the camping trip or another outdoor trip. Great to watch birds and other animals in this product. Image is clear. There are two different sizes of a lens. Choose the correct one depends on the distance of the observing object.”
“I bought this as a birthday gift for my 5-year-old son – his first foray into space. It is very easy to set up with the instructions, works well and it has the part to attach phone so we can take pictures. Comes with a backpack, scope, two different lenses and a tripod. Good starter telescope. Super happy with it!”
Buy it from Amazon for AED 427.
