Ophiuchus?

Apparently, there is a 13th zodiac sign, Ophiochus and people born between 1-17 Dec belong to this sun sign. I found the follwing on http://www.universeguide.com/Ophiuchus.php:<BR>
We are all familiar with the twelve signs of the Zodiac which were created about 2000 years ago. The theory being that our destiny lies in the star sign that was in the sky at the time of our birth. Since they were drawn up over 2000 years ago, the Earth's orbit around the Sun has changed as it does not orbit the same ecliptical path any more. This is due to the forces exherted on the Sun by other planets in the solar system. As a result of this, the Earth will travel out further from the Sun or come in nearer. Therefore when the Sun now sets, it sets in a different constellation than it did all those years ago. However, the astrology community has not changed with the times. Some astrologers do use the thirteen star sign Zodiac. There are a number of reasons why they haven't updated :-

Thirteen is an unlucky number
Thirteen can not be split into smaller equal groups ( Earth, Fire, Water and Air )
General Reluctance to change

If you've ever wondered why your love life or fortune is going as they had told you in the stars, you now know the reason. This does not mean that you should automatically stop believing in the Zodiac. This page is just to make you aware of why your Zodiac prediction doesn't match

Below is a table detailing all twelve\thirteen signs of the Zodiac, their official range and the actual astronomical range when they can be seen in the place of the setting sun.

The Legend
Ophiuchus was according to Greek mythology a man called Asclepius. He was the son of Apollo and Coronis, the daughter of King Phlegyas of the Lapiths.

ok..so what did it say are the characteristics of someone born under this new (old) sign?

^It's suppossed to be the sign of the medical worker. My mom was an Ophi, and she worked at a hospital.

Why none said any of this before? Now I am lost!!!! I was born on Nov 28 really late at night. I could be an Ophiuchus.... My world has crumbled I don't know who am I, why, when, how many, where, aaaaggggghhhh!!!!!

well, the healing thing fits...just curious because I'm seeing a guy who would fall under this 13th sign. I searched on a number of websites and they all talked about the location of the constellation, between Scorp and Sag, but nothing about sign characteristics beside the fact that the person it was named after was a healer.
