Did you checked out your new Zodiac sign? Ophiuchus is the latest addition

Modern Astronomers welcome Ophiuchus, a new addition to the present 12 Zodiac signs. Ophiuchus is a rarely used astrological sign that is not included in most versions of the Zodiac calendars, also known as 'Serpentarius' with its dates falling between November 29 and December 17.

Ophiuchus was said to be counted between Scorpio and Sagittarius. But it was discarded by the Babylonians because they wanted 12 signs per year.

Taken from the Greek word for 'serpent-bearer', the sign is portrayed by a man grasping the snake that is represented by the constellation Serpens. Ophiuchus was one of the 48 constellations proposed by Ptolemy in the second century. It was earlier known as Serpentarius, a Latin word for serpent-bearer.
