If you're the type of person who relies on mysterious-sounding locations of stars to determine your personality and outcome in life, get ready to be shocked.

The field of astrology, which is concerned with horoscopes and the like, felt a major disruption from astronomers, who are concerned with actual stars and planets. The astronomers from the Minnesota Planetarium Society found that because of the moon's gravitational pull on Earth, the alignment of the stars was pushed by about a month. See the Best Portraits from TIME 2010.

"When [astrologers] say that the sun is in Pisces, it's really not in Pisces," noted Parke Kunkle, a member of the group's board. Your astrological sign is determined by the position of the sun on the day you were born, so that means everything you thought you knew about your horoscope is wrong.

It turns out that astrology has had issues from its inception. (Aside from the fact that it tries to link personality traits with positions of the stars.) Ancient Babylonians had 13 constellations, but wanted only 12, so threw out Ophuchicus, the snake holder. Libra didn't even enter the picture until the era of Julius Caesar.

According to the Minnesota Planetarium Society, here is where the real signs of the Zodiac should fall. Get ready for your world to change forever.

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. 23-29.
Ophiuchus: Nov. 29-Dec. 17.
Sagittarius: Dec. 17-Jan. 20.

I'm so glad astrology finally fixed a major scientific flaw in its doctrine! Great job, guys! Only a few more to go!

How will this change anything? It does not really matter because as it says if what-ever-the-hell is wtf then it is A. Only now it is not like that... but it is still A.

You guys understand what I am saying? I am not being eloquent here but my what I am trying to say as long as they were wrong consistently it does not change anything.

Well, I'm not a Scorpio anymore, that means I'm a Libra.
Dammit, I'm not Vriska anymore.

I'm the Thirteenth Sign!  Clearly, this means that I am a boss battle.

Also, I don't have a troll.  :(

I went from Equius to Vriska.

I want a refund. At least Equius could punch a train in half.

Same here. I don't mind. I kinda like Vriska. Equius is probably my least favorite troll.
