OK, so the star signs were fixed 2,000 years ago, and correspond to the way the constellations appeared behind the sun on the day you popped out of your mum. Over time, though, the constellations have drifted – which means that over 80% of people were born under signs that no longer correspond to their true astrological sign.
So you might not be a Taurus, because the stars have drifted and so you’re actually an Aries! Or any other example using two of the signs that are next to each other!
Also there’s a new constellation, called Ophiuchus, which was deliberately left out of the original zodiac for a mysterious reasons that may or may nor be because the astrologers wanted their charts to look prettier.
If you’re an Ophiuchus, or the 13th sign, then you’re destined for great things; you’re likely to build things both metaphorically and physically (hello,budding architects) and you’ll be very intuitive with secret enemies. Oh, and it’s the serpent holder, so you’ll probably hold lots of snakes? Who knows.
Anyway, behold your new star sign – is it anything like you? Do you give a shit? I don’t, but then discovered I’m an Aries and it’s blown my mind because I identify, like, sooo much more with a ram than a bull, amiright?
zodiac
1 of 1321st January - 16th February: Capricorn (the goat)
You are very ambitious, very stubborn and very headstrong - if you make a decision you will stick to it till the very end. You also hide your emotions really well, only opening up to a select group of people
2 of 1319th April - 14th May: Aries (the ram)
You're bright, and you'll give everything to someone you love. You can be a bit blunt, but you make a good leader and are the best at listening. Go you.
3 of 1315th May - 21st June: Taurus (the bull)
You're stubborn, egotistic and powerful. Also seductive (oo-er) and sensual (lol). You won't easily be taken for a ride, and will destroy anyone who tries to pull the wool over your bull-y eyes
4 of 1322nd June- 20th July: Gemini (the twins)
You're a twin. Just kidding, you're probably hot and you have a proper mouth on you in the sense that you can blag your way anywhere. You're also very witty and everyone fancies you. God.
5 of 1321st July - 10th August: Cancer (the crab)
You can get a bit moody, but only about people you care about - you're also sensitive, intelligent and emotional. Like a crab. And you make a really good BFF.
6 of 1311th August - 16th September: Leo (the lion)
You're strong, take big risks, are really independent and re pretty much unable to sugarcoat or lie about things. Even if it makes someone really sad. You are also a focused employee! Hooray.
7 of 1317th September - 31st October Virgo (the virgin)
You're honest, incredibly private and if someone gains your trust then oh my god it's intense. You also hate hypocrisy. And people laughing at your star sign in primary school because it says 'Virgin' and they think it means boobs.
8 of 131st November - 23rd November: Libra (the scales)
An inanimate object, you're also very independent, easy-going and love going on new adventures/trying new things. You also work really hard and would make really good court judges. Which are obvs paid well. So probs do that.
9 of 1324th - 29th November: Scorpio (the scorpion)
People better not cross you, otherwise you'll smack 'em down - but you're also very loving and protective and would probably take a bullet for someone. Try not to, though.
10 of 1319th December - 20th January: Sagittarius (the archer)
You're the heart and soul (as they say) of the partaaay, but don't like short term flings and fairweather friends, because you're also very loyal. And friendly and fun. Basically, you're a good egg.
11 of 1313th March - 18th April: Pisces (the fish)
You're secretive but trustworthy and not always the friendliest, but when people get to now you then they find out you're cool. You're basically in it for the soul-mates and have no time for flings.
12 of 1330th November - 18th December: Ophiuchus (the serpent holder)
Cool.
13 of 1317th February - 12th March: Aquarius (the water bearer)
Apart from bloody loving water, you're a bit spiritual, intuitive and really good at communicating. You've probably got loads of different friends and relish public speaking.
