Scorpius only hosts the sun for a measly seven days while Virgo hogs it for forty-five days in the real physical sky

A closer look

The idea that every astrological season lasts a neat, uniform thirty days is a hilarious fiction. If you look at the actual physical sky, the constellations are completely different sizes. The sun sluggishly takes forty-five days to drag itself across the massive constellation of Virgo. Meanwhile, it absolutely sprints through Scorpius in a mere seven days. The zodiac wheel is basically the ultimate participation trophy system, artificially giving every star sign equal planetary real estate.
