The Horoscope Signs Changed?

No. "Ophiuchus", is the 13th constellation... however, ideas for including him have been bounced around since in the 30s astronomers discovered that there really should be a period including him to be accurate.

At any point in the last 80 years, it could have changed; some astrologers recently got fed up with the increasing gap between the actual constellations and what "constellation" you are born in. Adding Ophiuchus fixes this. There is no governing board of astrology, so whether you want to use the new system or not it entirely up to you.

The news of a "new Zodiac" thing have been hovering around since like, '07, but recently began spreading because a bunch of stupid people (IE: YCM) got a hold of it.

tl;dr - Your Zodiac sign hasn't changed. If you had a kid right now, he would also follow the old Zodiac. There's no "lawl, born before '09 and he's safe!". Just ignorant people spreading more ignorance.

I choose to pay it no mind.

Plus, if there really was a 13th sign, were all my previous horoscopes invalid? The description of a Virgo still fits me and so do its horoscopes, but as I look at it they all do fit me.

It all a bunch of shenanigans in my opinion.

There is no "Change". The 13-sign horoscope is just a different system that already existed, it doesn't "replace" anything any more than me being a Rooster in chinese astrology means that i'm "no longer" a Taurus in sidereal astrology.

Your horoscope was already invalid.

I'm now an Aries. My old star sign didn't suit me at all but this is an even worse match. I am nothing like that.

I don't believe it but people can form an opinion of you from it.

I am Taurus on the old system and Aries on this system, both of them are complete garbage...
