Is Ophiuchus a zodiac sign? No, it's a constellation - Here's what Susan Taylor's says: 

This sign hasn't been recognized like the other traditional sun signs, meaning nothing will change for you, even if you were born between November 29 - December 18. 

Ophiuchus is in fact the thirteenth zodiac constellation, however it doesn't appear in traditional astrology. Western astrology doesn't take the constellations into account and instead focuses on twelve sectors that the Sun travels through in a year. Although, its existence is more a subject of media hype and sensation than actual astrological fact. Astrology isn't based on astronomical constellations, meaning the signs remain unchanged. This means our Scorpio and Sagittarius friends can relax because their signs remain untouched. Find out from Susan Taylor; can your zodiac sign change?
