You may have heard about a 13th Zodiac Sign called Ophiuchus, the Serpent Bearer (between Scorpio and Sagittarius).

Stories of the “13th Zodiac sign” do the rounds every couple of years and I get lots of emails and messages from people freaking out that their zodiac sign is wrong, and their whole life is a lie!

How could astrologers have missed something so huge?

Is there truth to this rumour and what does this mean for the credibility of astrology as an ancient craft practiced by modern astrologers in this current day and age?
