New Zodiac Sign: Ophiuchus.

   New Zodiac Sign: Ophiuchus. Many are tuning into today as the news this week is that the standard zodiac signs may be out of date. Ophiuchus is a rarely used astrological sign, not included in most versions of the Zodiac.Changes in the Earth's alignment the dates of many zodiac signs have changed.
   The change didn't happen over night 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.
This is not new news, Astronomers have known about this since about 130 B.C.

   The confusion seems to be a result of Eastern vs. Western astrology. Most of us are familiar with tropical zodiac (Western), based on the seasons, which has not changed, though sidereal zodiac (Eastern), based on constellations, has different signs including a 13th. Is there a correct system? That's up for debate.
