Answer 1

Here is a link that can show you below. Along with precession of the equinox.

According to the boundaries for the constellations adopted by the International Astronomical Union in 1921, there are 13 signs of the zodiac instead of the usual 12; time from Ophiuchus the snake handler is usually included in time given to Scorpius. If you already know your astrological sign from reading an astrology column in a newspaper or from consultation with an astrologer, you may be surprised that few of these dates correspond to the dates listed in the newspaper's astrological column. Why? Generally, listed astrological signs and the dates given by most astrologers assume that you were born around 140 AD.

PISCES March 14 to April 19 - 37 days
The first day of spring, the vernal equinox, occurs when the sun is in Pisces on March 20

ARIES April 20 to May 15 - 26 days

TAURUS May 16 to June 21 - 37 days
The first day of the summer the summer solstice, occurs when the sun is exactly on the border
between Taurus and Gemini on June 21.

GEMINI June 22 to July 21 - 30 days

CANCER July 22 to August 10 - 20 day

LEO August 11 to September 17 - 38 days

VIRGO September 18 to October 31 - 44 days
The first day of fall, the autumnal equinox, occurs when the sun is in Virgo on September 23

LIBRA November 1 to November 24 - 24 days

SCORPIUS November 25 to November 30 - 6 days

OPHIUCHUS December 1 to December 18 - 18 days

SAGITTARIUS December 19 to January 20 - 33 days
The first day of winter, the winter solstice, occurs when the sun is in Sagittarius on December 21.

CAPRICORNUS January 21 to February 16 - 27days

AQUARIUS February 17 to March 13 - 25 or 26 days

Answer 2

yes the 13th constellation through which the planets pass on the ecliptic path is called Ophiuchus, the serpent catcher. as i recall?

and yes it has been wrong since Babylonian times. Also couple that with the fact that since the "system" started, the pole star has changed, so the whole "system" is out of alignment anyway. And also it hasn't taken account for the new exo planets been discovered, and moons around our own solar systems planets. Mumbo jumbo, but believe it if you really want to.

Answer 3

Ophiuchus is the 13th sign, in western astrology it is not used.
