And NO ONE HAS BECOME ANYTHING. NO. ONE. This is a western astrology based forum (maybe there are a few posts about Vedic Astrology) therefore, we all use the Tropical Zodiac. There hasn't been any changes whatsoever to the tropical zodiac. EVERYONE IS STILL THE SAME.

please keep in mind that Sidereal Zodiac isn't the same as

I notice people keep thinking that Sidereal Zodiac and the constellation Zodiac are one and the same.

Big difference is
that the Sidereal Zodiac is a zodiac that consist of 12 equal signs against the backdrop of the stars

The Constellation Zodiac has 13 uneven constellations on the ecliptic

Sidereal Astrologers often preach about how their zodiac is the true representation of the actual zodiac because they say that it's based on the constellations. That misleads people into thinking that Sidereal zodiac and Constellations zodiac are one and the same.

My Sun is in sidereal Libra, but it is in the Virgo constellation

Zeus killed Asclepius for raising people from the dead that resulted in Hades was complaining about losing souls in his Underworld kingdom. Therefore, Zeus killed him with one of his thunderbolts. Of course, Apollo (Asclepius' father) was furious and so took his revenge by killing the 3 Cyclops that make Zeus' thunderbolts.
Zeus thought about killing Apollo, but Leto (Apollo's mother) begged Zeus to spare his life. Zeus punished Apollo by making him serve a mortal for a year, and that mortal was King Admetus of Pherae in Thessaly.

Asclepius' mother was Coronis who was shot dead with an arrow by Apollo for cheating on him. Apollo saved his unborn son. Then he ended up giving him to Chiron. In the end, Asclepius, being the son of the God of Healing, surpassed his teacher as a healer.

Ophiuchus is a large constellation located around the celestial equator.
Its name is Greek (Ὀφιοῦχος ) for 'serpent-bearer', and it is commonly
represented as a man grasping the snake that is represented by the constellation Serpens.
Ophiuchus was one of the 48 constellations listed by the second-century astronomer Ptolemy,
and it remains one of the 88 modern constellations. It was formerly referred to as
Serpentarius English pronunciation: /ˌsɜrpənˈtɛəriəs/,
a Latin word meaning the same as its current name.

‘Ophiuchus, 13th Sign of the zodiac’

From Daniel Bates
In New York

‘IF YOUR horoscope has never seemed tally with your life, there may be a good reason
- It could be out of date.
Astronomers have called for the zodiac signs to be over-hauled because they are no longer accurate.
The ancient Babylonians based zodiac signs on the constellation the sun was ‘in’ on the day a person was born. But the moon’s gravitational pull has since shifted the Earth on its axis and created a one-month shift in the stars’ alignment
Astronomers want to move all the star signs back one month and squeeze in a 13th sign, Ophiuchus, to help read just the zodiac calendar. The change will come as a shock to many who will discover they have been reading wrong star signs their entire lives.
Those under dominant and creative Leo could become a Cancer, which supposedly means they are moody and sensitive, while a passionate Scorpio could become a more diplomatic and balanced Libra. One woman wrote on an astrology website: ‘Oh great. I have a scorpion tattooed on my shoulder and now I’m a Libra!’
The change was suggested by American Parke Kunkie, but Daily Mail astrologer Jonathen Cainer says it’s the work of a ‘jealous astronomer’. He said:

“The Earth has moved but astrologers have not for years based on their predictions on the constellations. This is either wilfully ignorant or mischievous and malevolent and shows that the scientific community reacts in a bigoted way when faced with mysticism. This is a load of nonsense.” ‘
