You know the signs, but what about the constellations? This blog entry features the constellations and the stars that comprise all 12 zodiac signs. I must regret to inform you that this is an old blog entry supposed to be about how certain zodiac signs look in space. Because of copyright concerns, I have now just made this a blog post about famous people based on their zodiac symbol. Rather than post pictures of stars in space (which was the primary intent), I will instead link you to Wikipedia so you can learn more about each zodiac sign and each constellation. I am deeply sorry to all of you.

--- The NEW Zodiac? (added: January 14, 2011) ---
According to the fact that Earth's alignment has changed, so have the dates of the zodiac. Here are the new dates:New Zodiac Dates...
Capricorn: Jan. 21 to Feb. 16
Aquarius: Feb. 17 to Mar. 11
Pisces: Mar. 12 to April 18
Aries: Apr. 19 to May 13
Taurus: May 14 to June 21
Gemini: June 22 to July 20
Cancer: July 20 to Aug. 10
Leo: Aug. 11 to Sep. 16
Virgo: Sep. 17 to Oct. 30
Libra: Oct. 31 to Nov. 23
Scorpio: Nov. 24 to Dec. 17
Sagittarius: Dec. 17 to Jan. 20
Ophiuchus: November 30 to December 17
I guess I'm a Sagittarian now. :( I had to change up the dates because you can't be two signs of the zodiac at the same time. I also had to look up the new date for the Ophiuchus sign. Some sites I read had certain end days as the start of a new one. In other words, the last day for Sagittarians is January 20... which is also the first day for the •new• Capricorn date with this new date alignment.
What do you make of all of this?
I'm still not going to adjust the names of famous zodiac people just because of this.
Now you know a few famous people born within those times of the zodiac. Again, I'm sorry that I couldn't post any pictures of each zodiac sign in space, which was the primary intent of this blog post. I still hope you enjoyed reading this as well as learning aobut the different characteristics and such of each zodiac sign. I personally don't believe in horoscopes. Crap happens each day.
Most of the information about the characteristics of each zodiac sign are based on stuff I have read on Zodiac Signs. If you haven't read earlier, I am trying to get rid of as many of my incomplete 2010 blog posts to get ready for 2011, and this is one of them. Hope you like this one!
Thank you for reading!
