The twelve zodiac signs, which have been in place for almost 3,000 years, are now different according to news reports.

The Babylonians determined the dates of the zodiac, and since then the position of Earth in relation to the Sun has gradually altered, according to ABC News.

The shifting of the Earth’s axis has also introduced a 13th zodiac sign -- Ophiuchus.

The Huffington Post reported that astronomer Parke Kunkle, who spoke to NBC regarding the issue, explained that the Earth and the Sun slowly move, as expected, causing the alteration in the signs.
