美国明尼苏达州的一位天文学家研究发现,我们现在遵循的12星座起始日期是错误的,每个星座时段都应该后移一个月。

Earth's shifts on its axis over the past 3,000 years have changed the 12 zodiac signs.
A Minnesota astronomer2 confirms what many have suspected: Your horoscope(星座) is quite possibly wrong.

Earth's shifts on its axis over the past 3,000 years have changed the 12 zodiac(十二宫) signs. For example, think your sign is Aquarius(水瓶座) ? You may be a Pisces. (There's also a 13th sign, Ophiuchus蛇夫座, that's based on a constellation3 the ancient Babylonians threw out for symmetry(整齐,对称) thousands of years ago.)

So who's to blame for this scam on zodiac devotees?

The ancient Babylonians based the zodiac on which constellation the sun appeared to be in when a person was born. Since then, the moon's has exerted a gravitation pull on Earth, causing a "wobble" on its axis that has shifted the stars' alignment4(队列,校准) by about a month, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports.

"Because of this change in the tilt5, the Earth is over here and the sun is in a different constellation than it was 3,000 years ago when this study of the stars began," astronomer Parke Kunkle told the Twin Cities' KARE-TV.

The shift isn't new, Kunkle says -- the zodiac world just hasn't taken the wobble(摆动,摇晃) into account.

Here's your new sign below:

Capricorn(摩羯座) : Jan. 20-Feb. 16

Aquarius: Feb. 16-March 11

Pisces(双鱼座) : March 11-April 18

Aries(白羊座) : April 18-May 13

Taurus(金牛座) : May 13-June 21

Gemini(双子座) : June 21-July 20

Cancer(巨蟹座) : July 20-Aug. 10

Leo(狮子座) : Aug. 10-Sept. 16

Virgo(处女座) : Sept. 16-Oct. 30

Libra(天秤座) : Oct. 30-Nov. 23

Scorpio(天蝎座) : Nov. 23-Nov. 29

Ophiuchus: Nov. 29-Dec. 17

Sagittarius(射手座) : Dec. 17-Jan. 20
