New Zodiac Sign: Ophiuchus is the 13th sign! Astronomer Parke Kunkle of The Minnesota Planetarium Society says that due to changes in the Earth’s alignment the dates of many zodiac signs have changed, according to NBC. In addition, there may be a 13th Zodiac sign: Ophiuchus.

Kunkle says that as the Earth and Sun slowly move the signs gradually change, as expected. 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.

The Associated Press reported Friday evening that Kunkle has since clarified his earlier statements, emphasizing “this is not new news,” and “Astronomers have known about this since about 130 B.C.”

The theory of the 13th Zodiac sign of 2011, Ophiuchus came as the Earth’s position has shifted due to the gravitational pull from the moon and hence the Zodiac Signs must be rearranged to balance this shift. This also added the new sign “Ophiuchus”, a sign represented by a man holding a snake or “SnakeMan”. The sign is based on “Imhotep” of Egypt.
