Jason Hribal in a book just off the CounterPunch/AK press, Fear of the Animal Planet: The Hidden History of Animal Resistance, regales the reader with tales of animal rebellion and escape from captivity. In Hribal’s account, when big cats, elephants, and orcas injure or kill their trainers and keepers they are inflicting retribution for the abuse and exploitation that they suffer.

He said he can’t understand why his explanation of how a well-known wobble in the earth’s orbit throws off astrology charts turned into an internet sensation.

“Astronomers have known about this since about 130BC,” Mr Kunkle said while sitting in his office, where the phone rang constantly, as he said it had been since the article came out.

Ophiuchus lies between Scorpio and Sagittarius: Nov 29. - Dec. 18

This is the Greek god of medicine, Asclepius, who is depicted holding a serpent, a traditional symbol for healing. This region of the sky contains many star clusters and the Milky Way.

… and, not to forget that we are in continuous motion because of the “precession of the equinoxes” also called the : Great Year, Platonic Year, Brahma year (Hindu) which our solar system goes through once every 26,000 years (approx. 25,922 years) which changes the Zodiacs too.

This means that the Vernal Equinox, or the beginning of spring,  is in a different sign every 2,100 - 2,400 years (since some zodiac signs are larger than others and it takes longer to go through), until it goes through all the zodiac signs and ends up back in the same zodiac sign 26,000 years later at the Vernal Equinox (spring).

An interesting side note here is that the sun never really rises at the same spot every day because we are constantly moving. It is imperceptible but, its happening.

If we take all the known zodiac signs and arrange them in a circle and, this circle has 360 units called degrees - shown with this symbol °, 360°, each piece or, degree of this circle, 1°, would be about 72 years long ( or 71.6 years). We would see that in 72 years where the Sun rises, on the first day of spring is 1° farther along than it was 72 years prior and, so on. And, degree by degree it takes our solar system 26,000 years to make one orbit or cycle around this zodiac.

360° = 26,000 years
30° (one zodiac sign)= 2,160 years
1° = 72 years

Also, the Gregorian calendar, the calendar, that we use for everyday purposes, was corrected around 140 AD because of calculation flaws, that was the time when they added the leap year every 4 years to correct this mistake.
