When news starting reaching the media outlets, that a 13th sign of the zodiac was likely and that most of us are not what we have always believed ourselves to be, I scoffed with good reason. It has seemed all my life that if one is to read the characteristics associated with a Virgo, that he was reading about me. I fit the profile completely. I certainly was not a Leo. My son has always been a Scorpio, but now he is a Libra. It is all very confusing.

So, here is the truth about the new zodiac sign. Scientists have said that it really is not a new discovery. In reality, these 13 signs have been “in existence” for over 2000 years. This new zodiac sign comes to us from the Babylonians, who once used the concept, but then thought otherwise. For some reason the Babylonians did not want Ophiuchus. If one is under this new sign, he will first have to learn to pronounce it and then change his bar pick up line. There will be no more, “What’s your sign?”
Here are the new divisions. I wonder what this change does to gemstones, etc., associated with the older signs.

Capricorn – Jan 20 to Feb 16

Aquarius – Feb 16 to Mar 11

Pisces – Mar 11 to Apr 18

Aries – Apr 18 to May 13

Taurus – May 13 to Jun 21

Scorpius – Nov 23 to Nov 29

Ophiuchus – Nov 29 to Dec 17

Sagittarius – Dec 17 to Jan 20
Now you know about the new zodiac sign. Which sign are you? Have you changed? Does this mean a “whole new you” for the New Year?
