Astrology is based on the stars. Star alignment is based on the Earth's relationship with the sun. The latter has been changing for hundreds of years, while the former has stayed the same.

It was bound to catch up to astrologers at some point.

Is it possible that a Leo 100 years ago is not a Leo today? According to a Minnesota-based astrologer Parke Kunkle, the answer is no.

Here are the new horoscope dates:

Capricorn: Jan. 20 - Feb. 16

Aquarius: Feb. 16 - March 11

Pisces: March 11- April 18

Aries: April 18 - May 13

Taurus: May 13 - June 21

Gemini: June 21 - July 20

Cancer: July 20 - Aug. 10

Leo: Aug. 10 - Sept. 16

Virgo: Sept. 16 - Oct. 30

Libra: Oct. 30 - Nov. 23

Scorpio: Nov. 23 - Nov. 29

Ophiuchus: Nov. 29 - Dec. 17

Sagittarius: Dec. 17 - Jan. 20

With a birthday on Oct. 25, I barely made the Scorpio cut off on the "old system." Now it appears I've jumped back two signs to that of a Virgo.

Notice anything else a little different?

Maybe "Ophiuchus" jumped out at you.

A whole new sign? Where did that come from? According to a Los Angeles Times article, it's been around for awhile, but there is some debate about how great a role it plays in the sun's path, hence why it's not heretofore been included in your daily horoscope.

Kunkle, whose comments started the current media storm, told the L.A. Times that he's not the first to make these assertions, it's just caught on due to online networking outlets like Twitter and Facebook.

I remember astrology-minded friends discussing similar topics in college, but I never gave much thought to it.

Will the new dates or new sign have any affect on how you go about your daily life?
