Thanks for posting that list Colin - when did that one become the new dates? I mean - some of us are old enough that maybe we were born under the "ancient" signs. lol *ducking*

Don't worry. Astrologers still use the positions of the planets from about 2000 years ago to determine signs. The ones I posted are true in the sense that the sun is REALLY in those constellations at present during those months. The astrological signs that can be looked up in astrology books and the real physical location of stars, planets, the earth, moon and sun are actually different. The ones we use were first set down mostly bythe Greeks Hipparchus and Ptolemy. Ptolemy was certainly a first-rate astronomer and mathematician for the times.
Your "sun sign" is the constellation the sun was in around 200 AD; Ptolemy's time.
I used to own zodiacsigns.com I just learned I let it expire. :-(
