no maybe about it. The wobble, called the precession of the equinox has changed since this phony thing called astrology was set up and what ever sign you think you are, you are off one sign and soon to be two. Ask any astronomer what he thinks of astrology and he will probably roll his eyes. And most important of all, if you are a Christian, the Bible teaches to stay away from this sort of thing.

I looked it up. From Wikipedia Ophiuchus is a large constellation located around the celestial equator. Its name is Greek (Ὀφιοῦχος) for 'serpent-bearer', and it is commonly represented as a man grasping the snake that is represented by the constellation Serpens. Ophiuchus was one of the 48 constellations listed by the second-century astronomer Ptolemy, and it remains one of the 88 modern constellations. It was formerly referred to as Serpentarius English pronunciation: /ˌsɜrpənˈtɛəriəs/, a Latin word meaning the same as its current name.

That is the name of the "serpent bearer" constellation in the sky, it does intrude into the Zodiac plane so there are some who do believe that there are 13 signs instead of 12.

Our “sign” includes three factors: Date, Time, Longitude/Latitude of place of birth.

Ophiuchus was added. While never part of the zodiac proper it has been included as an astrological indicator in the past. I doubt charlatans fortune tellers will change their method of divination to include modern astronomical observation.
