So when in doubt, it's best to verify the information with a birth certificate, baby book, or parent before calculating.

The main reason astrological signs fail to line up with the zodiac, though, is a wobble in the Earth's rotational axis called precession. As a result of its rotation, the Earth bulges slightly at the equator, not unlike how a skater's skirt fans out as she spins.

But some scientists say it's not real science. Let's see why. Scientists say astrology doesn't have enough proof to show it's true. Even though people have been studying it for a long time, there's no clear evidence that the stars and planets actually affect our behavior or what happens in our lives.

However, the Vedic chart is the most accurate, and the Western chart is inaccurate. The Vedic chart uses the sidereal zodiac, which properly aligns the zodiac with the constellations of the same name. The Western chart uses the tropical zodiac, which used to be accurate when it was first created around 275 CE.

Astrology is founded on understanding the positions of the stars, which seems like a scientific enough pursuit in itself. But is there any science to back up whether astrology impacts our personality and our lives? Here's the short Answer: No. None whatsoever.
