Why is it that I remember that Nov 22 was Scorpio back in the 70's, but today it is considered Sagittarius?

Answer 1

Different astrologers and systems cosnider the cusp to be either the 21st or the 22nd. I experince the same thing as a Sag born on Dec 21st. It's because sometimes the solstice occurs on the 22nd of a year. To find your exact sun sign consult an azimuth for the year in which you were born. An azimuth is the start chart for a particular year. By doing so I was a able to find, for instance, that I am a true double Sagittarian, being born in the exact hour when the sun was actually in my first house. ;) If you don't wanna do this, then go with the 21st as the last day, as this is most usually the correct date.

Answer 2

The rotation of the earth on its axis causes a gradual unstable movement as it spins thru the solar system. Little by little, the signs on the cusps begin to transform themselves later, and later, and later, until, as you've pointed out, nov. 22 is no longer scorpio, but now it's sagittarius. but regardless, we still memorialize the death of JFK and Aldous Huxley.

Answer 3

The dates that start the signs differ from year to year and location due to the way the sun moves and the way the earth rotates.

Answer 4

it's the sign of the times.
