The 13th Sign
A 13th sign has emerged in the 12-sign zodiac thanks to tiny shifts or wobbles in the Earth's rotation around the Sun, Basically, the Sun's apparent path has moved since 3000 years ago when astrology was born.
The new sign is Ophiuchus, or the Serpent Bearer, which falls between November 30 and December 18, placing it between Scorpio and Sagittarius.
Ophiuchus is said to represent Aesculapius, the ancient healer, with the serpent's venom able to cure or kill.
People born under the sign are said to be healers, but they are also said to be skilled interpreters of dreams, seekers of peace, poetical and attract good luck.

The reason that Ophiuchus is not a part of the western astrological zodiac is because that zodiac is defined on the basis of the sun spending an equal amount of time in twelve astrological signs starting at the vernal equinox in the northern hemisphere — this is called the tropical zodiac. There is also a sidereal zodiac, which is based on the actual location of the stars in the sky, and which is used by Hindu and some Western astrologers. At present, the sun is in Ophiuchus from November 30th to December 17th.

Interesting... I would be curious to know how this will affect astrologers' readings and interpretations.
