Hey there, star-gazers! You might’ve stumbled upon some buzz online lately about the zodiac shuffle—yes, the one where Scorpios are supposedly packing their bags for history’s exit. Let’s clear the air, shall we?
First off, let’s backtrack a bit. Remember when we were kids, looking up at the night sky, trying to connect those little twinkling dots? Yeah, turns outconstellation aren’t exactly cosmic family trees. They’re more like our own little Earthly inventions. We’ve grouped stars into constellations for the sake of memory, but in reality, the universe doesn’t give a hoot about our zodiac signs. If extraterrestrial beings exist, they’re probably chuckling at our attempts to organize the stars.
So, when people start flipping their lids over whether there are 12 or 13constellation, I can’t help but chuckle. It’s like getting worked up over whether your favorite ice cream flavor is still in stock at the grocery store. Let’s get real; the universe isn’t changing its mind aboutconstellation just because we’re in a tizzy.
Now, let’s talk size. Ever notice how someconstellation are massive while others are dainty little clusters? Remember those starry nights, pollution-free, when you could actually see the stars? Yeah, those were the days.constellation, much like snowflakes, come in all shapes and sizes. But here’s the kicker: why do we assign eachconstellation about 30 days? It’s like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. It just doesn’t make sense.
If you’ve ever pondered these musings, you’d realize thatconstellation are as arbitrary as a game of connect-the-dots. We’ve named them, but they don’t hold any cosmic significance.
So, what’s the deal with the zodiac signs we’re all so obsessed with? It’s all about Earth’s relationship with the sun, really. Simplified, it’s all about the seasons. There are two days a year when day and night are equal in length—spring and autumn equinoxes. These mark the beginning of Aries and Libra, respectively. Then there’s the longest day of the year, the summer solstice, marking the start of Cancer, and the shortest day, the winter solstice, marking the start of Capricorn. Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn are the cornerstones of the year, with every other sign fitting neatly into this cycle, corresponding to specific seasons.
Now, back to that controversial "zodiac change" business. It’s all hogwash, really. It’s like mixing up astronomy with astrology—they’re like distant cousins who haven’t spoken in ages. isn’t about the sun traipsing through some cosmic sector; it’s about the time between the spring equinox and the start of spring rain.
No matter what you hear about precession of the equinoxes orconstellation shifts, the logic of the zodiac remains untouched. Why? Becauseconstellation are just labels, arbitrary concepts. The real magic lies in the seasons we’re born into, not the names we’ve slapped on them.
This kind of understanding is the bread and butter of my astrology classes. Without a grasp of basic astronomy, logic, and philosophy, it’s easy to get swept up in internet rumors and create unnecessary confusion. Speaking of which, happy start of the Monkey year! It’s the beginning of spring, and the sun is hanging out at 15 degrees in Aquarius (not the actual astronomical Aquarius, mind you).
Now, a bit about me. I’m the Astro VIP, known as the Mutable Witch on WeChat. I’ve been diving into the world of astrology for 16 years, counseling over 10,000 clients, and teaching more than a thousand students.

So, if you’re looking for some cosmic wisdom, I’m your girl. Just remember,constellation are as predictable as the seasons—they’re here to stay, no matter how many times we try to rename them.
