When scientists suddenly decided that Pluto was not a planet, nobody in astrological circles really took that much notice. Such a distant planet had little influence - both in terms of celestial distance and birth sign calculations. However, the notion that there is a 13^th planet has led to tremors of fear and uncertainty. How would this affect the whole zodiac system, so mathematical in its potency? A number of people thought that this might be the end of the whole zodiac system. So what is the final verdict, nearly a year later? You will be surprised at what they have decided.

Ophiuchus

It seems that the thirteenth planet, or rather, the thirteenth sign of the zodiac, was not news to famous astrologers. A number of experts in the field, including Parke Kunkle, Jeffrey Brock and Ron Archer, claim that they have known about the presence of this new sign, Ophiuchus, for many years. The reason why it has not been included in standard horoscopes is that it does not come in to the path of the sun. It is the fire signs, governed by the sun, that have the most impact on our defining characteristics. Thus, because this sign is tucked away, it cannot exert influence.

Traits

If you do believe in the new sign, you are probably quite curious as to what this could mean for you. If you are born between November 29^th and December 17^th, you are part of the Serpent Holder sign - you seek wisdom, and you’re lucky!
