这篇报导说十二星座是错的应该有十三个星座正中我们生日只差一天我们不是射手座是蛇夫座

This report says that the 12 signs of the zodiac are incorrect, and that there should be 13 signs. Zhengzhong, our birthdays are only one day apart, so we're not sagittarius, we're ophiuchus.
我知道啊蛇夫座确实是第十三个星座
wǒ 我zhīdào 知道ā 啊shéfūzuò 蛇夫座quèshí 确实shì 是dì shí sān 第十三gè 个xīngzuò 星座
I know, ophiuchus is actually the thirteenth sign of the zodiac.
