According to one astrologer, we should be counting the 13th sign in the zodiac. Ophiuchus falls in between Scorpio and Sagittarius. Unfortunately, with the moon's pull on the Earth, the signs are a month off. This was already obvious with the season changes. January, April, July, and October tend to be when we notice the big temperature differences.
The new proposed days are:
Capricorn: Jan. 20-Feb. 16
Aquarius: Feb. 16-March 11
Pisces: March 11-April 18
Aries: April 18-May 13
Taurus: May 13-June 21
Gemini: June 21-July 20
Cancer: July 20-Aug. 10
Leo: Aug. 10-Sept. 16
Virgo: Sept. 16-Oct. 30
Libra: Oct. 30-Nov. 23
Scorpio: Nov. 23-Dec. 17
Sagittarius: Dec. 17-Jan. 20
Adding a 13th sign robs Scorpio of all but six of its days.
However one site does mention that we don't have to change our signs.
"Well, strike that, you don't get to switch your sign. At least reader StarJack says so: "The stars are markers that drift, but our main points of reference are not directly the stars. They are the equinoxes (both spring and vernal) and the solstices which altogether make the four cardinal points of the zodiac which in turn determine the signs. The stars help us locate those points which define the SIGNS of the Zodiac which remain constant in relation to the equinox point. The CONSTELLATIONS do move about and we take that into consideration when locating planets."
