You may have heard about a 13th Zodiac Sign called Ophiuchus, the Serpent Bearer (between Scorpio and Sagittarius).
Stories of the “13th Zodiac sign” do the rounds every couple of years and I get lots of emails and messages from people freaking out that their zodiac sign is wrong, and their whole life is a lie!
How could astrologers have missed something so huge?
Is there truth to this rumour and what does this mean for the credibility of astrology as an ancient craft practiced by modern astrologers in this current day and age?

I’m a regular lister and really loved this podcast about the 13th Zodiac Sign Stephanie. I like astrology, but do admit that much of it is very vague and full of loose interpretation, however, do like reading about the various signs/planets and their correlations and which are spookily accurate. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Sam! Yes Astrology regularly blows my mind with its uncanny accuracy. It’s kept me interested all these years and I’m sure will continue to do so. Thanks for listening.
