What is the new star sign Ophiuchus and has yours changed?

A 13th sign of the Zodiac has been discovered by NASA, shifting the dates of most star signs.

The new star sign officially introduced to horoscopes, Ophiuchus, comes following an alteration to the constellations since the Zodiac wheel was created.

Now, many people's star signs have changed thanks to the reveal of Ophiuchus, Chronicle Live reports.

Here is everything you need to know about the new 13th sign of the Zodiac - Ophiuchus

Top astronomical events: July 2020

Marking the reveal, a NASA spokesperson saying: "The line from Earth through the sun points to Virgo for 45 days, but it points to Scorpius for only seven days.

“To make a tidy match with their 12-month calendar, the Babylonians ignored the fact the sun actually moves through 13 constellations, not 12.”

Ophiuchus falls between Scorpio and Sagittarius on the calendar, with its dates being  November 29 - December 17 .

The introduction of this new sign means the dates of the others have shifted.

If you now so happen to be an Ophiuchus, this is its description:

According to  Medium.com, "the main advantage of Ophiuchus is that they are very excited and smart people. They are information seekers and are also known for their attractive physical appearance.

"They were gifted with wonderful qualities to interpret dreams, visions and seekers of wisdom. According to astrology, they naturally attract good luck. They are honest and intelligent people."

Ophiuchus people are also said to have a dry sense of humour and often give sarcastic comments.

Here are all the new star sign dates:

Capricorn (January 20 to February 16)

Aquarius (February 16 to March 11)

Pisces (March 11 to April 18)

Aries (April 18 to May 13)

Taurus (May 13 to June 21)
