Are you an Astrology believer? How many
Zodiac signs are followed in Astrology?
a. 7
b. 9
c. 12
d. 13
Answer: [d]
Astronomers at the Minnesota Planetarium Society found
that the moon's gravitational pull on Earth can result
in a slight misalignment of the stars, leaving room in
the calendar for a whole new sign: Ophiucus, the serpent
wrestler — a symbol of medicine and healing. This
means there are 13 Zodiac sign and not 12 as everyone
has believed. Studies show that the original astrological
calendar had 13 and it was reduced to 12 during Babylonian
period. Ophiucus was dropped at that time. Now, Minnesota
Planetarium Society wants to bring him back :-) Is your
family astrologer up to speed?
