2-22-20 Wall Street Journal article: Zodiac Sign
Posted: Sat Feb 22, 2020 11:15 pm
I tend to get annoyed when people confuse our wonderful astronomy hobby to that of astrology. Today's WSJ had an article titled: "Your Zodiac Sign Isn't Aligned with Stars." I was very relieved to read this as I thought the planets were controlling my life! 
As most of us know, because of Earth's precession, the planets no longer align with the constellations of the zodiac on the dates that were established in ancient times. Currently, the sun is passing through the constellations about a month later than when the horoscopes were established. They even interviewed several professional astronomers who clearly wanted nothing to do with astrology. Anyway, the dates of the horoscopes were correct 2,000 years ago and they will be correct again in another 24,000 years. Perhaps just tell that to someone the next time they ask you for your sign.
