Eamonn Holmes finds out he is the new 13th star sign Ophiuchus
Nasa have unveiled a new thirteenth star sign called 'Ophiuchus' - meaning 'serpent-bearer' - and some Zodiac dates have now 'changed'.
People born between November 29 and December 17 apparently now fall under a thirteenth star sign called 'Ophiuchus'.
According to a report by The Sun, Nasa have claimed that there are now 13 - rather than 12 - Zodiac signs, and the dates of these have now shifted to make room.

"Besides the 12 familiar constellations of the zodiac, the sun is also aligned with Ophiuchus for about 18 days each year."
