You know your sign, right; the constellation you were born under? Astrologers tell me I was born under Scorpio because my birth date is in the first half of November.

Am I really a Scorpio?

Astrology was founded about 2200 years ago, a relative of, maybe an early form of, astronomy.

The dates were set. We all know the dates of our sign, born between this date, and that, we're a Scorp, maybe a Cancer, or Fish. And the stars we we're born under, the constellation ruling the sky at the time of our birth, it rules our lives.

Since then, a process known as precession, something most astrologers don't seem to have even heard of, has moved the constellations.

These are the dates for your real sign and the stars that would rule your life if stars had that power. (If you're born between Nov 29, and Dec 17, check for your new sign. Your astrologer probably never heard of it.)
