In 1970, Steven Schmidt in his Astrology 14 advocated a 14-sign zodiac, introducing Ophiuchus (December 6 to December 31) and Cetus (May 12 to June 6) as new signs. Within 20th-century sidereal astrology, the idea was taken up by Walter Berg in the form of his book, The 13 Signs of the Zodiac (1995).
The zodiac was divided into 12 astrological signs, each occupying 1/12 (or 30°) of its great circle, by the Babylonians about 500 bce. Many of the Babylonian signs (for example, the Twins [Gemini], the Crab [Cancer], the Balance [Libra], among others) are still used today.
Ophiuchus is one of the thirteen constellations that cross the ecliptic. It has sometimes been suggested as the 13th sign of the zodiac. However, this confuses zodiac or astrological signs with constellations.
Ophiuchus: November 30 - December 17. Sagittarius: December 18 - January 18.
