New Zodiac Sign Dates: Ophiuchus The 13th Sign?

Your zodiac sign may not actually be your zodiac sign anymore

Astronomer Parke Kunkle says that due to changes in the Earth's alignment the dates of many zodiac signs have changed, according to NBC. In addition, there may be a 13th Zodiac sign: Ophiuchus.

Kunkle says that as the Earth and Sun slowly move the signs gradually change, as expected.

The change didn't happen overnight either. The 12 signs were designated to different periods of the year almost 3,000 years ago, when astrology began, and since then the Earth's position in relation to the sun has changed.

While the sign many people were born under may now be different, it shouldn't affect horoscope readings, according to NBC.

The New Dates:

Capricorn: Jan. 20 - Feb. 16
Aquarius: Feb. 16 - March 11
Pisces: March 11- April 18
Aries: April 18 - May 13
Taurus: May 13 - June 21
Gemini: June 21 - July 20
Cancer: July 20 - Aug. 10
Leo: Aug. 10 - Sept. 16
Virgo: Sept. 16 - Oct. 30
Libra: Oct. 30 - Nov. 23
Scorpio: Nov. 23 - Nov. 29
Ophiuchus: Nov. 29 - Dec. 17
Sagittarius: Dec. 17 - Jan. 20

 The Ophiuchus 

Ophiuchus is a large constellation located around the celestial equator. Its name is from the Greek Ὀφιοῦχος "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 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy, and it remains one of the 88 modern constellations. It was formerly referred to as Serpentarius (English pronunciation: /ˌsɜrpənˈtɛəriəs/; also Anguitenens), a Latin word meaning the same as its current name.

It is located between Aquila, Serpens and Hercules, northwest of the center of the Milky Way. The southern part lies between Scorpius to the west and Sagittarius to the east. It is best visible in the northern summer and located opposite Orion in the sky. Ophiuchus is depicted as a man grasping a serpent; the interposition of his body divides the snake constellation Serpens into two parts, Serpens Caput and Serpens Cauda, which are nonetheless counted as one constellation.

ALL ABOUT BENAIAH

Benaiah

Benaiah, from the Hebrew name pronounced ben-aw-yaw (notice how names in the actual Hebrew are often different than their renderings in English; other examples: in Hebrew "David" is pronounced daw-veed, "Moses" is pronounced moe-sheh) meaning built up by The Lord, was a very courageous and loyal officer of King David and then David's son and successor King Solomon 

"Benaiah the son of Jehoiada"

When King David began to reign over all of Israel, Benaiah was appointed as one of David's primary government officials.

"So David reigned over all Israel; and David administered justice and equity to all his people. And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder; and Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were priests; and Seraiah was secretary; and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and   David's sons were priests." (2 Samuel 8:15-18 RSV)

Benaiah's leadership wasn't merely a matter of politics; Benaiah was a truly courageous warrior and leader.

"And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was a valiant man of Kabzeel, a doer of great deeds; he smote two ariels of Moab. He also went down and slew a lion in a pit on a day when snow had fallen. And he slew an Egyptian, a handsome man. The Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but Benaiah went down to him with a staff, and snatched the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.

These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and won a name beside the three mighty men. He was renowned among the thirty, but he did not attain to the three. And David set him over his bodyguard." (2 Samuel 23:20-23 RSV)

When Adonijah attempted to usurp the throne of Israel for himself, Benaiah remained loyal to David and to David's known successor, Solomon.

"Now Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, "I will be king"; and he prepared for himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him. His father had never at any time displeased him by asking, "Why have you done thus and so?" He was also a very handsome man; and he was born next after Absalom. He conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest; and they followed Adonijah and helped him. But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan The Prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and David's mighty men were not with Adonijah. Adonijah sacrificed sheep, oxen, and fatlings by the Serpent's Stone, which is beside Enrogel, and he invited all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the royal officials of Judah, but he did not invite Nathan the prophet or Benaiah or the mighty men or Solomon his brother." (1 Kings 1:5-10 RSV)

When David learned of the plot, he sent his most trusted men, including Benaiah, to not only protect Solomon from assassination, but to coronate Solomon while David himself yet lived.

"King David said, "Call to me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada." So they came before the king. And the king said to them, "Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride on my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon; and let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet there anoint him king over Israel; then blow the trumpet, and say, 'Long live King Solomon!'" (1 Kings 1:32-34 RSV)

King Solomon then went about removing the threats to him, including his own brother Adonijah (who would surely had done the same to Solomon if he came to power). Solomon sent Benaiah to kill treasonous Adonijah.

"Then King Solomon swore by The Lord, saying, "God do so to me and more also if this word does not cost Adonijah his life! Now therefore as The Lord lives, who has established me, and placed me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day. So King Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he struck him down, and he died." (1 Kings 2:23-25 RSV)

Solomon then made Benaiah commander of the army of Israel, in place of Joab.

"The king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada over the army in place of Joab, and the king put Zadok the priest in the place of Abiathar." (1 Kings 2:25 RSV)

ANGELS EXIST

What are angels?

Angels have existed since the beginning of Creation. Angels are beings from the lower part of the subtle region of Heaven. The primary purpose of angels is to act as messengers for lower level deities in the lower subtle region of Heaven. Deities speak in the language of light whereas we humans speak in the language of sound. Angels therefore act as step-down transformers carrying messages from lower level deities to deserving beings in a language they can understand. This is primarily through the medium of putting thoughts in their minds. By deserving beings, we mean humans on Earth and subtle bodies in the Nether region who have some background of spiritual practice or merits. The messages are generally about how to address a particular worldly issue. About 5% of times angels themselves also give worldly advice.

Various types of angels

There are 30 varieties of angels. The names of most popular angels in the order of spiritual hierarchy are: Archangels Principalities, Seraphim, Powers, Dominions, Cherubim.

To view the pictures of various angels drawn with the help of activated ESP click on the link at the end of the article.

The reason for the variety of angels is that each one operates at different frequencies. This allows angels to relay messages to the multitude of human personalities who best match the frequencies of angels.

Spiritual level of angels

The spiritual level of angels is between 29 - 34%. The minimum spiritual level for humans to make it to Heaven after death is 60%. Despite the comparatively low spiritual level of angels, angels reside in lower subtle region of Heaven. Just as on Earth along with humans we have other animal species and plant kingdom of lower spiritual level, so also in Heaven along with subtle bodies of humans with higher spiritual level and lower level deities, we have angels.

Only 30% of angels have wings

Angels have traditionally been depicted having wings. However spiritual research conducted by SSRF has revealed that only 30% of angels have wings. 70% of angels do not have wings. The 30% of angels that have wings are of the lowest order of angels. Angels communicate with human beings regarding fulfillment of very low worldly desires. The higher angels do not have wings.

Do we have a guardian angel?

Some ancestors who have deep affinity for the family communicate to help their family members regarding worldly matters. These departed ancestors may be mistaken for the guardian angels. Guardian angels as such do not exist.

Can we see angels?

As angels are subtle beings they are not visible to the ordinary human eye. Angels can be seen only with the help of advanced and activated extrasensory perception (ESP) or sixth sense. The mechanism of communication of angles with us humans is through putting thoughts in our mind.

WORK

When you attempt to push a cart and nothing happens, you are exerting a force, but by definition you do not work on the cart.

On the other hand, if you push a cart at if moves, you have actually accomplished something in return from yourself. this accomplished something in return from yourself. this accomplishment is defined in physics as work.

The term has an explicit, quantitative and operational definition.

for work to be done, three conditions must be met:

1. there must be a net force acting on the object

2. the object has to move ai a certain distance called the displacement

3. there must be a component of the force in the direction of the motion.
