Astrologers try to change their stars

AT the start of each year, many people look to their horoscope to gain insight into what to expect.

AT the start of each year, many people look to their horoscope to gain insight into what to expect.

But what astrology buffs never expected was that their star signs may have changed.

Astronomers with the Minnesota Planetarium Society last year dropped a bomb on the zodiac.

They established that the millennia-long effect of the moon's gravitational pull on earth had caused a one-month bump in the alignment of the stars.

The controversial announcement meant people's star signs should change.

They also recommended a new 13th star sign - Ophiuchus, the serpent-bearer.

But don't try to argue any of those points with Goodna astrologist Jana.

 

"The star signs have been around for thousands of years and they will remain the same," Jana, who has devoted 40 years to astrology, said.

"But people are welcome to have their own opinions about them."

Jana said the beginning of the year was always a particularly busy time for astrologists, with people interested in knowing what the year held.
