What exactly is going on with this new change in zodiac signs?

It's ludicrous, but I'm kind of disconcerted by this. Why did I go from being an Aries to a Pisces? And is it true that this only concerns those born in the past two years?What exactly is going on with this new change in zodiac signs?
oh god.

The constellation, Ophiuchus, has been known since ancient times, and is better known as Serpentarius, the Serpent Holder. It is included in the list of 48 constellations described by Ptolemy. Ophiuchus is depicted as a man handling a serpent; his body dividing the large snake into two parts, giving way to the symbol used today as an Asclepius - the medical staff. Astrologers have not included Ophiuchus in the wheel of Astrological signs because the Sun spends only about nineteen days in this 13th sign of the Mazzaroth. Not that there wasn't a 13th sign in the Heavens, but as far as Astrologers were concerned, the Sun traveled from the constellation 'Scorpius' and then proceeded directly into the sign of Sagittarius. In reality, this was not the case. The Sun, for 19 days of the year, travels through the star constellation 'Ophiuchus' before entering Sagittarius from Scorpius - see chart below. thus The sign of Ophiuchus is patterned after the original 'Serpent Holder', Enki, a Sumerian god.

The signs of the Zodiac are for the most part, the highway, or path on which the Sun takes it's yearly journey across the heavens - as it would appear to Earthlings. These signs are actually star constellations occupying space in which the Sun appears to travels in an earth year. The original twelve signs/constellations: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces are quite familiar to everyone, however, the thirteenth sign and constellation, [Ophiuchus], is in fact, not well known. To acknowledge a 13th sign now would seem awkward for astrologers, who like the tidiness of 12 signs that rule over the 12 houses of the Zodiac. The heavens are alive and they do change after a few thousand years and the astrologer who wants to maintain accuracy must change along with the signs in the heavens.

The constellation of Ophiuchus is the only sign of the Zodiac which is linked to a real man. This man lived in ancient Egypt around the 27th century BCE, and his name was Imhotep [again patterned after Enki]. Many of the same attributes of Imhotep can also be found in the Biblical Hebrew man Joseph, son of Jacob - [see comparison chart for these two men in separate article]. Imhotep is credited with many accomplishments including the knowledge and use of medicine. It is said of Imhotep that he brought the art of healing to mankind. The symbol of a serpent [or snake], which is still widely used today to represent the medical profession, was used to represent Imhotep. Imhotep was also known as 'Aesclepius' to the ancient Greeks, but by any name the attributes are still all the same. The attributes listed below describe the Serpent Holder, Imhotep, i.e. the Hebrew Joseph, and Aesclepius. The keyword descriptions seen below, originated with Betty Rhodes, and are the attributes for the 13th sign of the Zodiac - Ophiuchus:


OVERALL. Ophiuchus is a real constellation which was regarded by Babylonians in the beginning, but decided to knock it off to keep it a simple, neat 12. the sun passes through it only 19 days before transitioning from Sagittarius to Scorpius, so that would explain why it was disregarded by astrologers. but it is, indeed, a part of the Zodiac. this is recycled news. Ophiuchus has been, %26amp; always has been, there. it's just been ignored until people decide to dig it back up again.
%26amp; that depends on your birth date %26amp; birth time. you could figure out your star sign %26amp; rising star sign, etc, with that information. but i believe that whatever constellation you were born under is what you are. so keep calling yourself an Aries, because i'm going to keep calling myself a Gemini, but i accept Taurus as my secondary sign instead of freaking out about it.
There's no new zodiac. The "change" the news was referring to only applies to Sidereal/Vedic astrology-which is used mainly in India and other east Asian countries. We just use Western or Tropical astrology here in the US and Europe.

And the "new" 13th sign Ophiuchus has always been around in Sidereal astrology. The news is just stupid and misinformed.

So there's absolutely no change.What exactly is going on with this new change in zodiac signs?
This "new horoscope" has always been, it's just that some astrologist thought that it was more accurate so we should incorporate that into the western horoscope stuff.
It only concerns those who were born in the past two years to the best of my knowledge.What exactly is going on with this new change in zodiac signs?
It's just bs.... they want our money that's all
