Is the 13th astrological sign real?

We all have one of those astrology fanatic friends who dedicate their Facebook posts to all the wonderful and strange astrological phenomenon that’s going on. Every once in a while one of them stumbles upon the story that went viral where NASA apparently found a so-called 13th zodiac sign in our solar system. These self-proclaimed astrologers will have a heated debate in order to convince you that the sign you were born with is actually not your sign at all. Obviously, there was panic amongst the astrologers and astrology lovers and NASA explained that they have found that the path of the sun goes through not only 12 constellations, but 13 – but it’s not a new constellation, it has been there all the time. Babylonians who created the zodiac chart made it fit a 12-month-calender, giving each of the 12 signs equal amounts of time. Thus leaving out the 13th sign. This does not mean that the constellation is not real it just means that the Babylonians believed for some reason it wasn’t part of the zodiac signs. The confusion here is that NASA’s research is based on astronomy and the zodiac is based on astrology. So technically NASA did not change the zodiac, but according to a statement made by them they just “did the math”. 

What is the new zodiac sign Ophiuchus & what does it mean?

Our 12 signs of the zodiac have been made into 13 according to a discovery made by NASA and western astrology has lapped it up. So what is the new zodiac sign? We are here to set the record straight! The new sign has been called Ophiuchus which comes from the Greek words, “holding”, and, “serpent”. The meaning of Ophiuchus is the Serpent Bearer.

Have zodiac signs changed since 2020?

NASA made the announcement that they had discovered a new 13th constellation in the Earth’s solar system. They have not, however, introduced a new sign into the zodiacal system which would bring about new astrology signs and dates. Their research is astronomy-based and the zodiac in astrology so astrology lovers can rest assured that their sun sign is still the same.

How has the new zodiac sign caused horoscope changes?

There has been confusion and uproar amongst astrology lovers since Nasa’s announcement of the 13th constellation. The confusion was that there was a new 13th zodiac signed added into the mix in between Scorpio and Saggitarius, giving the Scorpius star system only a seven-day period in which the sun traipses through it. If there is a new sign and the zodiac signs have been bumped up in dates to fit the 13th sign in, then surely the horoscopes have changed too? The good news is, life is as you know it, and the zodiac has not changed, there are still 12 signs as before. therefore, your horoscopes have not changed.

What are the new zodiac sign dates? New zodiac chart

According to the basis that there are 13 zodiac signs, there would need to be new zodiac sign dates to fit the new astrology sign in. The new astrology dates might bring a new horoscope to your reality if you so wish to believe it even though the symbol of each sign has not changed. For your benefit of knowledge, we have listed the new zodiac sign dates below.

Key takeaways on the 13 zodiac signs

This controversy over the so-called new astrological signs has indeed been a topic on demand. There are so many opposing opinions amongst astrologers as to whether your sign has changed. We think it’s safe to say that if you go on the basis that the zodiac hasn’t been officially changed and that NASA simply announced a 13th constellation, you can feel comfortable in the knowledge that your sign is still your sign. However, if you feel you resonate with the apparent new sign you have been shifted into with the arrival of Ophiuchus then, by all means, count them in because in the end, we all have the power to be the person you wish and you will resonate with more than one sign throughout your life.

Do you know a child who remembers past life occurrences?

If you are an avid YouTuber or once spent an afternoon getting lost in the endless stream of science fiction we are sure you have stumbled across many accounts of children who remember past lives.

There are incidences where parents have reported the creepy things kids say about past lives. It is a naturally unearthing feeling when you hear such things, any good horror movie has a creepy child in it because it goes against all things natural. But these so-called “creepy things” they speak about could be memories of previous lives.

Here are some other signs that may hint that a child you know is remembering life before life.

Body Markings

Dr. Ian Stevenson was a Psychiatrist who worked for the University of Virginia. In a study, he conducted he found a correlation between children who reported remembering how they died or attained serious injuries in their previous life and birthmarks or birth defects on their body in their current life.

Old Soul

This is not a new term, we all know people, or children, who are seemingly well beyond their physical age. Their eyes hold a lifetime or more of memories and knowledge, their adult-like behavior is accepting of all things that happen whether they are negative or positive experiences. If the child in question seems to be an adult in an infant’s body, it may be a sign that they’ve lived another life or many for that matter.

Recurring night terrors

Dreams can be quite intense for young children, especially bad ones. As parents or older siblings, it is important to support children who experience this as their little brains might need help to decipher what went on or purely just to reassure them. Naturally, we want to say “it is just a dream”, but you must try to take note of whether the dream happens repeatedly because it might be apparent memories from a previous life.

Imaginary friends

Loads of children have what parents like to call, an imaginary friend. This might be the easiest explanation, but sometimes the conversation between the child and the imaginary friend can seem a little too grown-up. If the parents kept an open mind about this person their child is laughing and conversing with behind closed doors. It could b the sibling or a close loved one of your child’s previous life.

Remembering non-existent siblings

Sometimes children talk about their brothers and sisters even though in their current life, they are the only child in their family. This could be children’s memories of having a sibling in a past life. The memory is still strong in their youth.

To-the-Tee information

Sometimes children surprise us by talking about things that their parents swear their child has never been exposed to, with such intricacy and accuracy, the phenomenon always takes us off-guard. This could be resurfacing memories of a previous life.

Unexplainable Talent

Child prodigies are not common, but not unheard of. There have been numerous accounts, including Beethoven and Mozart where their talent at such a young age was simply astonishing, to say the least. These talents could be reincarnated with them from a previous life.

Why are so many children talking about past lives, is it reincarnation?

This seems like a phenomenon to us as adults, but for children, it is much more common than we realize. A lot of the time we tend to overlook the strange and unchildlike things kids say, or we brush off their concerns saying they probably just had a bad dream.

Are the kids remembering past lives special in some way?

Not necessarily. Children who remember their past lives usually start to forget these memories the more they grow up. Sometimes, people use hypnosis for memory to remember.

There is not much proof that the idea of reincarnation is true but this does not disprove it either. We could all have had a previous life but we remember it in a different way, or not at all. Some children who have memories of their past lives might only remember it because of a traumatic event that happened. Sometimes these emotional traumas get carried into their current wife, and occasionally the memories come along with it.

Commonalities in cases where kids remember past lives

In most cases, there are similar defining characteristics of each case. Typically in a reincarnation case, the child’s memories of its previous life start when they about a three-year-old.

Those memories start to fade when they reach the age of six or seven but this does not exclude the occasional adult who can still remember their past lives.

Should you tell children who remember past lives what they are recalling?

Should children who remember previous lives undergo past life regression hypnosis?

It is said that anxiety, depression, and a variety more of mental health issues are formed by experiences from a past life. Sometimes these experiences are traumatic ones, possibly even the cause of their death from the previous life, and these traumas are carried over into the present life.

Past Life regression therapy in young children might help prevent them from growing up with any of these things. That being said, children are susceptible to creating false memories or saying something in order to be accepted, so the therapist must ensure they prompt the child accordingly when using hypnosis for memory recall of this type, making sure not to put memories into their head.

Regression therapy should be warm and gentle so the child feels no anxiety, and the therapist should understand when to draw the line. 

Famous children’s past life memories stories

There are thousands of stories reported of children remembering past lives. Dr. Jim Tucker (now the head of the Division of Perceptual Studies) is the author of the book, Return to life, which describes the many American cases of children’s past life memories stories. We have listed some prominent stories below for you.

Joanna and Jaquelin Pllock

Joanna and Jaquelin Pollock were twins living in Hexham, England. They were killed in a car accident in 1957. Their parents were devastated and their father vowed he would get them back somehow. This is an impossible thought you might think but remarkably, one year later, his wife Florence, the mother of his deceased twins, The new twins were names Gilian and Jenifer.

What was weird was that Jenifer has a scar on her forehead in the exact place that Jaquelin had and they both had the same birthmarks as their respective sister incarnations. As they grew up the girls started remembering certain aspects that only Jennifer and Jaquelin experienced like the school they attended, even though the family had moved away from Hexham.

They had also named their dolls the same names previous twins had named their own. What’s more convincing is that Gillian and Jennifer were mortified whenever they saw a car, and Joanna and Jaquelin were killed in an accident at 5 years old. As a result, Gillian and Jennifer’s past life memories faded around the same age as their previous sisters had died.

James Leininger

James was born on April 10th 1998 in Louisianna, son of Bruce and Andrea Leininger. From the time he could speak, James would have reoccurring nightmares where he would exclaim; “The little man is trapped! Plane on fire!”.

This very young boy knew details about WWII fighter planes in a way that could not be explained by his parents. The boy allegedly started signing his artwork with his name at the bottom and often put a number 2 next to it. When his parents asked why his reason was that he was also named James in his “other life”.

The word Natoma was also a strong memory for him which their parents were baffled about and after some investigation, they discovered that there had been a WWII pilot called James Huston who had flown a plane off a ship named Natoma. 

The Burmese twins

This was actually the first case of twins reporting having had a past life. In Burma 1898, twin boys named Maung Gyi and Maung Nge fled with their parents to a different village to the one they were born in during the English occupation of Burma.

As the boys grew older their parents couldn’t help but notice similarities between them and an elderly husband and wife from their previous village, who had died one year after the start of the occupation. This couple had loved each other their whole lives and even died on the same day, together.

Their parents even brought them back to their previous village and the boys could recognize just about everything and explained memories that they could not possibly have had.

Sonam Wangdu

At two years old, Sonam Wangdu (Born in Seattle in 1991) started to believe he was the reincarnation of the Lama, Guru, Dezhung Rinpoche. Dezhung’s previous and third incarnation had stated to his acolytes that he would be reincarnated in Seattle, which is where Sonam was born.

Key takeaways

If you would like to find out anything about your own reincarnation, we have the quiz just for you! Find out who were you in a past life!

Whether you’re a reincarnation believer or simply a skeptic, there is no doubt that these stories are fascinating no matter your perspective. These accounts cannot be proven by any science nor can they be explained fully in a psychologically, or 3rd dimensional way. It is up to us to decide what we believe in, but we cannot deny their alluring mysteriousness.

This is an extremely intriguing topic for today. One that has a tremendous impact on our everyday life, even without us realizing it. We all have these strange aspects about ourselves. Maybe you have come to terms with yours already or maybe you find amazing synchronicity with your  “gut feeling” and you want to know how to work with it. Well, luckily for you, your guides have led you to this moment and we shall walk you through it all. There is also an awesome quiz at the end of this article that will help you realize what your psychic ability may truly be!

Psychic Power Meaning

Firstly, the preferred term I like to use is psychic abilities, not psychic powers. The word “power” is often misunderstood for its connotation – some people use the word for having power over someone or something. Neither are they a gift as if you were rewarded for being good. It’s more of an ability. Psychic abilities are our right, they’re our natural abilities as human beings which we are discovering at different points in our lives. It’s like those moments when you’re deep in thought and you get those random but life-changing thoughts – that’s an ability! Psychic abilities are the same,  but for most of us, they lie dormant inside ourselves.

What Does it Mean to Have Psychic Abilities?

How many of you knew that you could see things that others didn’t when you were really young? Maybe you were too young to remember it but someone told you that you used to do or say these weird things. perhaps your psychic powers showed up in that you saw spirits, or possibly had these visions of something involving someone else. That’s the ability! As a child, you don’t have all those walls put up for defensive purposes so you are able to see into other dimensions.

Then, as we grow, we get told not to do or speak about these things, or maybe you were scared of what you were seeing so you, yourself, shut it down. Slowly, we shut down our psychic powers. As we grow up from childhood through adolescence, these abilities often take the back seat – for a lot of us. But then as we reach our thirties we suddenly remember we used to be able to do all these things! In order to reactivate our dormant abilities, all you have to do is just be you – in all your beautiful authenticity and it’ll all come back.

The more we explore this concept, we will start to understand how we have disconnected ourselves from this ability. We have filled our bodies with junk or low-vibrational foods and energies which pollute and cloud us. This includes listening or watching the news repeatedly that headline sad or aggravating stories or staying invested in relationships with people who no longer serve you.

Here is the point – how can we put our knowledge into action? How can we go from a philosophical viewpoint to having a cerebral conversation on these lofty concepts? There are a few steps to achieve this which are much simpler than you might have thought.

Developing Your Psychic Powers

Acknowledging Your Abilities

The Process of Accepting the Infomation

The way in which I receive my information is auditory – I would hear things. And sometimes I would think to myself, “well that’s weird”. But that’s the ego pushing it away. Your ego wants everything to make sense, but if it doesn’t then we tend to push it away. Hopefully, you’ll start to realize you can’t keep pushing it all away, but by then you’ll have had these confirmations of the information you received that will hopefully convince you of its validity.

Once You Accept Your Psychic Abilities

Sometimes you might find that you need to change your environment, you might need to think about where you spend your time and adjust it a little so you have more access to those like-minded people, to include them in your life. 

We tend to filter out the information we receive as part of the ego construct as a way to protect ourselves from embarrassment or rejection of these abilities. If we just learned to relax a bit and rather surround ourselves with like-minded people who appreciate and share some of the downloads or intuition feelings. This helps us to feel comfortable with who we really are, not only to validate the feelings within ourselves but also to share them with others. Because that’s what this human experience really is about – sharing with others. We, as humans, want to share our experiences with other people but we are sensitive beings, so we also crave their acceptance.

Often, we will come across those people who just shut down the topic, calling it hogwash, or ridiculous. That is part of this human experience – part of the world that we are navigating through. This can repress some of our psychic abilities. 

We should take stock of those situations and consider if the relationship is conducive to the development of our psychic abilities. We should take stock of how this information you receive is shown and shared. Strive to share it with supportive and open-minded people – in a safe place. Sometimes you might find that you need to change your environment, If you do want your psychic abilities to blossom, to seek out relationships with those that want you to blossom.

Final thoughts

Think about where you spend your time and adjust it a little so you have more access to those like-minded people and to include them in your life. You need to trust that your light will attract more sources of light. Think: Your vibe attracts your tribe!  By doing so you will be less affected by the roller-coaster of rejection and acceptance of others.

There are so many different ways of receiving information and I want you to just open the doors to it. Do not place limits on yourself just because your friend’s ability does not work for you. You have other abilities that they don’t have. This is a beautiful thing because you can complement each other’s abilities. By being your authentic self and expressing yourself in the way that you are inspired to do, it gives others the inspiration to do the same! We all have these abilities which lie dormant inside of us until we are ready and they are ready to be expressed. Once this happens we can develop them by nurturing and exercising them – just like a muscle.
