MOBILE, Alabama (WALA) - Zodiac zinger has a few folks star struck with confusion after a report comes out changing everything we thought we knew about the zodiac signs.
The next time someone asks your sign you may have to think twice.
That's because of a shake up in star signs.
"I was a Virgo before but now I am a Leo. It is weird," Krystal Trusler said.
Trusler said she doesn't know anything about the Leo sign.
Lots of people are buzzing about the change after the Minnesota Planetarium Society released a report on the zodiac calendar. It says, the stars' alignment was pushed by about a month, because of the moon's gravitational pull on the earth.
Short answer, when astrologers say the sun is in Pisces, it's really in Aquarius, and so on.
Which some say could explain some signs being a bit off.
"There are some things that relate to me and some that doesn't," said Nick Gay.
Before you start reading a new horoscope there's some good news. Word is, there are actually two different zodiac calendars.
Most westerners follow the tropical zodiac based on seasons instead of constellations and nothing has changed there.
Not only are the signs off by a month but a new sign was added to the 12.
