What the Astrology Sun Signs REALLY are!
The following chart was given to me in my 100 level Astronomy course in college. The course was taught by Stan Shadick (who writes the Skywatchers calendar every year)
Constellation | Horoscope Dates as the newspaper lists them | Correct Dates (for year 2000) |
SAGITTARIUS | Nov 22 - Dec 21 | Dec 18 - Jan 18 |
CAPRICORNUS | Dec 22 - Jan 19 | Jan 19 - Feb 15 |
AQUARIUS | Jan 20 - Feb 18 | Feb 16 - Mar 11 |
PISCES | Feb 19 - Mar 20 | Mar 12 - Apr 17 |
ARIES | Mar 21 - Apr 19 | Apr 18 - May 13 |
TAURUS | Apr 20 - May 20 | May 14 - June 20 |
GEMINI | May 21 - June 20 | June 21 - July 19 |
CANCER | June 21 - July 22 | July 20 - Aug 9 |
LEO | July 23 - Aug 22 | Aug 10 - Sep 15 |
VIRGO | Aug 23 - Sep 22 | Sep 16 - Oct 30 |
LIBRA | Sep 23 - Oct 22 | Oct 31 - Nov 22 |
SCORPIUS | Oct 23 - Nov 21 | Nov 23 - Nov 28 |
OPHIUCHUS | (not part of astrology) | Nov 29 - Dec 17 |
Correct dates in other years may fluctuate slightly by a day due primarily to Leap Years and other effects. The major reason that the Correct Dates differ from Horoscope Dates is due to presession. Another contributing factor is that modern astronomical constellation boundries were used to arrive at correct dates.
Most Newspaper horoscopes are several millennia out-of-date!
"I'm My Own Grandpa", an excellent song, as sung by the Gogolala Jubilee Jugband on the Muppet Show in 1976.
The Lyrics ... just in case you were wondering:
Now many many years ago when I was twenty-three
I was married to a widow who was pretty as can be
This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red
My father fell in love with her and soon they too were wed
Oh I'm my own grandpa
I'm my own granpa
It sounds funny I know,
But it really is so
Oh I'm my own grandpa
This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life
My daughter was my mother 'cause she was my father's wife
To complicate the matter even though it brought me joy
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy
My little baby then became a brother-in-law to Dad
And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad
For if he was my uncle, then that also made him br'ther
Of the widow's grown-up daughter who was also my stepmother
Father's wife then had a son who kept them on the run
And he became my grandchild, for he was my daughter's son
My wife is now my mother's mother and it makes me blue
Because altho' she is my wife, she's my grandmother too
Now if my wife is my grandmother, then I'm her grandchild
And every time I think of it, it nearly drives me wild
For now I have become the strangest case I ever saw
As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa
(And really, the whole explaination of being his own grandpa is covered in the first verse)
