An astronomy professor has the astrology world on its by suggesting the 3,000-year-old zodiac is wrong. Professor Parke Kunkle said the Earth's wobbly means things have changed in the past three millennia and now has a different relationship to the stars. He said the Babylonians determined the dates of the Zodiac and not to include a thirteenth sign called Ophiuchus. He believes the changes in the Earth’s orbit now this sign must be included in the Zodiac. This would change all of the we are used to with our star signs and many of us would have a new one. Professor Kunkle is surprised his announcement has shocked people: "Astronomers have known about this about 130BC," he said.

The story has millions around the world to worry their life might change because of this news. People who were at being a Virgo are upset because they are now Leos. Kunkle says people should not be worried because star signs were never to predict our future or provide an to horoscope writers, saying: "You could predict when to , when to plant, by the stars. So there is some predictive there. Then they took it too far, using it to determine when to go to and people's personalities." Popular astrologer Susan Miller has reassured people they worry and called the news "ridiculous." In an with ABC News, she joked: "We've known about this for ages….Trying to explain something in 140 characters [on Twitter] is hard."
