Ophiuchus - The 13th Sign of the Zodiac |
 |
The 13th sign of the zodiac, unlike the other 12 signs is actually associated with a real person. In the 27th Century BCE in Ancient Egypt lived a man known as Imhotep. Imhotep was known as ‘Aesclepius’ by the Ancient Greeks, however the attributes are the same under either name.
One of Imhoteps abilities was healing and it is said that it was he who introduced it to mankind. His accomplishments also included a wide knowledge of medicine. The serpent or snake symbol which is still used today to symbolize the medical profession was also used to represent Imhotep. Below is a list of attributes associated with the Serpent Holder, Imhotep i.e Aesclepius. The descriptions below are associated with the 13th sign - Ophiuchus.
- Many people are envious of this subject as he progresses well throughout life.
- A seeker of wisdom and knowledge
- Many people are jealous of this person
- Tends to go for the more flamboyant in dress sense, favouring bright colours.
- Authority looks upon him well.
- Would make a great architect or builder.
- Number 12 is this persons lucky number.
- This person will have a big family but leave home at an early age.
This is the Zodiac as some astrologers believe it should be:
ARIES = APRIL 19 - MAY 13
TAURUS = MAY 14 - JUNE 19
GEMINI = JUNE 20 - JULY 20
CANCER = JULY 21 - AUG 9
LEO = AUGUST 10 - SEPTEMBER 15
VIRGO = SEPTEMBER 16 - OCTOBER 30
LIBRA = OCTOBER 31 - NOVEMBER 22
SCORPIO = NOVEMBER 23 - NOVEMBER 29
OPHIUCHUS = NOVEMBER 30 - DECEMBER 17
SAGITTARIUS = DECEMBER 18 - JANUARY 18
CAPRICORN = JANUARY 19 - FEBRUARY 15
AQUARIUS = FEBRUARY 16 - MARCH 11
PISCES = MARCH 12 - APRIL 18
I’m not sure myself about the qualities of that of Ophiucus, but perhaps if you mix Scorpio with Sagittarius you may come up with something along the right lines.

This leaves me confused. Is this what they mean by having a Cusp?
Hello Lynn, On the cusp means that you were born at the changing of two signs. The 13th sign is what some people believe should be included to the zodiac.
I thought I was a scorpio sag cusp, but after reading this I am wondering that maybe I am a libra? My riseing sign is libra so this could count for the libra streak, I definately know is there, but I still find it frustating that I still don’t know for sure what my sun sign is! Although i am pretty sure it is scorpio. Libra, scopio, sag., somewhere in there. lol. Anyways i lov this site. Lots of funny and interesting things to read. And thanks fo the update on Ophichus!!!
I’m a serpentarius and I agree with all the coments you made about our sign about the Jealousy and what not on the positive side I’m brilliant with herd and there health benifts and can heal in that way…that description is me to a T!!
OMG!!! my whole life i thought i was an aries but the aries description NEVER fit me and i always ended up confused!!! It says aries are always bossy and determined and stuff well i am a very caring shy person and i never fight wih ppl 4 fun like it is said that aries do. But my bday is april 8 and this chart really helped cuz the characteroistics of a pisces fit me just right!!! THANK YOU SOI MUCH!!!
I was born on April 12, 1992. When I found out that I was an Aries, I didn’t think it was true and I started having doubts about my sun sign. I stumbled onto a web page that said I am actually a Pisces. I started to believe that. Though one day when I asked my algebra teacher from my freshman year what her birthday was, she said that she was born on April 19. I told her about the 3rd Decanate of Aries and she said that she isn’t gentle and that she is a true Aries. I am actually a Pisces and I’m glad that I found that out. Thank you!
This is cool. It’s very true about everything. I am extremely lucky and have a way of healing people with my words and interaction. I have a lot of friends just because they want me to help them heal their thinking. Where can I learn more about my sign, the serpent healer?
Hi there are some attributes that define each astrological signs and you really don’t need to know the exact dates just from that. Like the Capricorn is wise and solid which are very strong personality traits. A Sagitarrius is cheerful and brave. Sometimes you can just feel it and see it in the person. Animals also correspond and so do insects. We also always forget that there are twelve astrological years presented by the Chinese which are very powerful too. Together those really give us the philosophical outlines of personalities. I think this sign the snake handler or Ophiuchus runs alongside all of them and we have a chance to connect with it. I am not sure if it acually appears stronger at one time of the year. I think it is always present but few of us accept it.

I was born on 1st Dec -78 and as so I am not only a master sign of 11, but also the 13:th sign according to this. I have not always felt that everything that “should” comply with being a sag could be attributed to me and I’ve known about the 13:th sign for about 10 yrs but since there is almost no info about it I stuck to the sag description. All I can say is that people have since I was a child been jealous of me for different reasons, I have always been very creative and am about to learn how to be a gardner and hopefully I’ll design beautiful gardens in the future, I’ve always been a bit exentric when it comes to clothes and hair etc and I love knowledge. I have often said that my biggest hobby is to learn new things and to “collect knowledge”. So I suppose I’m very much a Serp.. Now I’ve also recently broken up a realtionship with a man of my own sign, 10th Dec -80 and fallen in love with a Cap apparently, 27th Jan -76. Wonder how this will pan out…?
Lmao, so I’m a taurus? Everything about me screams Gemini. This is wrong.
Boo. That’s why it wasn’t added to the zodiac, because I am NOT a taurus. I am a gemini to a “T”.
This thing is faulty. If the zodiac were like that, no one would believe in the horoscope or find some truth to it. I’d be laughing so hard. Me, a hard worker? Lol.
[…] Ophiuchus - The 13th Sign of the Zodiac […]
WHY IS SCORPIO 6 F***ING DAYS!!1?? THIS THING IS F***IN WRONG!! EVERY OTHER ZODIAC SIGN HAS MORE DAYS THEN SCORPIO AND GO INTO DIFFERENT MONTHS BUT SCORPIO IS IN THE SAME MONTH AND ONLY LASTS FOR 6 F***IN DAYS!! THIS ZODIAC CHART IS WRONG TO A “T” WHO EVER CAME UP WITH IT FAILED HARD!! EACH ZODIAC IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE AN EQUAL OR CLOSE TO AN EQUAL AMOUNT OF DAYS!!!
I AM A SCORPIO and i know for sure I’M NOT A LIBRA!!!!!!!! i take pride in my sign and i wont let a thing like the so calle “13th sign” take it away from me…plus i know the mystery behind the 13th sign…and after reading that I DON’T THINK any of you would want to be a OPHIUCHUS!!!
I agree, this is inaccurate. I was born July 29th, 1982; and I fit the description of Leo COMPLETELY. There is not a thread of me that is even remotely adaptable to the Cancer mold. Perhaps I am just an old soul.
А это Вы написали на основе личного опыта?
hello, i have a theory i would like to share which you will see is at first not directly related to the topic, but introduces new specualtion.
i believe that moon signs can be cusped. i was born at 6:11am, 8.11.70. i am one minute into sagitarius moon, but there is no denying that my moon can at times be so very scorpionic. there are other times i am totally on fire so to speak; not only is my sun leo so is my ascendant. triple fire or a little water at times, compounded with taurus midheaven.
so i wonder if anyone would agree with my old( as of today!) theory of cusping moon signs, has anyone ever written of them? or is it possible to consider that i am of an Ophiechus moon?
It was wonderful to have that epiphany; i am very aware of the chakras, of kundalini energy, and also am aware of my own claivoyance. I flet extremely … serpentarian when i thought of the corelation and how it could affect my chart personally. ( a big relief to still be a leo!!) - about how someone states no one would want to be serpentarian- i beg to differ- i feel and have felt at times that the attributes of the sign are within me, as dictated by the nature of a moon sign. the scorpionic tendencies i mentioned seem closer to the truth, and the “tottering” between philosophical sagitarius and sexual scorpio feels nicely balanced with this to contemplate. i suppose someone could say that the seesaw effect, which i have noticed very profoundly in the sun sign cusps i know, could have been the swaying of the sign as we come closer to it for 12.21.12.
ironically, i have started a very successful business and i have said to myself several times’ ” i know what i am doing until 2012.”
I also wonder if there are attributes for Ophiechus’ influence on the body? I wouldn’t be surprized if you said the eyes; seems to have alot of enrgy associated with the eyes for some reason.
i will be happy to share the more complete moon sign cusping theory if anyone cares to see it…
thank you, Joe
*First 7-music…way to reply exactly like an angry Scorpio, with your sting and harsh words. I don’t know if you are against Libras or just overly excited about being a Scorpio but your capital lettered/exclamation filled comment is a little much. You don’t have to believe it (i don’t think i do) but do you need all the profanity and seemingly offensive comment about being a Libra and, quite frankly, your whining about your poor 6 day sign. If you don’t believe it (and you have made that evidently clear!) you don’t have to scream and swear online about it…really?? not cool, but yay for you for being a super Scorpio and VERY proud of it (apparently)
*Second, hary1ophi1 you will enjoy being an Aquarius (well if you believe this particular theory lol) as it is a great sign to be born under….ask any of us 
(no offence to 7-music, i hope i don’t receive a capital lettered/exclamation filled reply hahaha ) *Third Joe i really liked your comment…people always seem to forget that astrology IS a science and the ‘horoscopes’ we read in the paper (which i love) are not even close to being as accurate as they are with each individuals birth place/date/time etc…it is just a generalization at best (but still DEAD ON sometimes, eh?) to my point, i have a friend that i thought of immediately when i read this page about the 13th sign and she fits perfectly with sexual Scorpio and Gypsy like Sagittarius so maybe there is SOME merit to this theory but i don’t believe (with my knowledge) i will be practicing it anytime soon..but something to think about, eh? Peace
Is the 13th sign a sign of the antichrist because of the prophcey of december 21 2012. IT IS THE SERPENT HOLDER AS A SIGN!!!!!!!!! I AM BORN DECEMBER 3, 1986
What the? I am NOT a Capricorn. This is all a bit sad because the original Astrology makes more sense than this newly identified bullshit. I guess it’s all just bullshit in the end but I’d prefer to believe in the way it’s always been. Really. I’m a Pisces and I know it. I’m highly disorganized even though I’d like to not believe it.
Ophiuchus - The 13th Sign of the Zodiac
This doesn’t make any sense… I fit Pisces to a T! And my best Scorpio friends fit Scorpios… and so on. This is really confusing me.
You should all remember that we are not just made up of one sign. We have rising sun, moon, planets in different houses, and above all our own will to manifest changes in our destiny. So don’t get so upset about a 13th sign . . . Take control of your destiny. The stars just light the way — like street signs. You are the one driving!
I feel stupid having a gemini tattoo when im accually a taurus? Fuck astrology this shit stupid anyways. Dont make sense neither cause my personality always fitted a gemini more. Fuck dey blammy words 2. Blah
hey everyone, just be yourselves.
Maybe this is easier for me to digest than some. After all, I’m a Leo no matter how it is viewed. And now am much more aware of the insinuations of my Serpentarius moon… It seems you all forgot that the sun signs represent the outer projection of the native, and the moon represents the inner and emotional being.
I have been continuing to manifest abundance in my life at a much more accelerated rate than I was before this epiphany concerning the true nature of my natal chart.
I would like to suggest that the persons that fele that this affects them in a negative manner, essentially anyone that has been confronted with a such a drastic change in personal beief, I. E. their sun sign, to just meditate on it. Calmly, contemplate it. Open to the energy of the signs and the universe and ask yourself what would it be like to be this new sign? Not what you think of it; how does it make you FEEL?
I am an extremely clairvoyant person. My senses have felt out of sorts on many things over the years. As the 2012 convergence nears, I feel much more stable on an energy level.
I have to tell you, this 13th sign acceptance feels RIGHT.
PS would love to get some feedback from this site’s facilitator!!!!

Blessed Be, Joe
An interesting Serpentarius theory- The Gregorian calandar had christian holidays included to cover and obscure pagan holidays.
Is it possible that christmas landing in capricorn, the goat, ( the sign associated with satanism, sorry if youre one and didnt know!)was an attempt to associate christmas landing in this sign to help people forget about the pagan associations with capricorn?
Serpentarius inclusion also strengthens the theory that christ was born in Pisces; with pisces even later into spring, it makes sense that shepards were out sheparding andsaw a star…
sorry to point this out, shepards don’t wander in december, even i nthe mideast. it’s cold in the night during december even in a desert. this theory has been bouncing around since 1990…
And before anyone calls me a heretic or anti-christian, I’ll admit I was a skeptic until 1993 or so when it was reported that a jospeh and mary’s sepulchre had been found in jerusalem and was carbon dated to A.D. 44… I do believe in the hard scientific data that there was indeed a historical figure, a man named jesus that did in fact live…
it’s not chrisitianity i have a problem with, it’s a wonderful belief system. But men like Gregorius tried to use it to hide a glorious truth from us… I’m glad we’re coming back to the truth of the universe.
Blessed Be, Joe
Hi there Joe,
Thank you for your insight and comments. As for the Christian side of things? Well, for me I am far more in tune with Paganism as that is where it started afterall, Christianity in my opinion is nothing more than a money making machine. However I always respect others views as I am not a single minded person in anyway.
I actually am not a believer of the 13th sign, although I have a problem with the word ‘believe’ in any case. It simply does not feel right to me, it feels as though it is not meant to be part of the zodiac as we know it. I think it’s a personal opinion, just like everythin else in this world, we have to go with what we ‘feel’ is right.
Love & Light
Becky
Gday Becky,
Im no expert on any of this, but it has got me very curious, harry1 stated on 30th june, tht the zodiacs changed after 1990? Am i correct in assuming these dates are fluid? that they are always changing? In 2050 for example… Someone born in May would no longer b born under taurus… but another sign altogether?
Hello Becky
What do you think about what Nostradamus said about the 13th sign and the same was found to be predicted by Maya civilization, that in 2012 when the sun and the moon will be on the same line with Ophiuchus some big changes will happen globally, do you think that there is some touch of truth in there?
I find this a little difficult to buy. It could just be that for years I had a little trouble with ‘who’ ‘what’ I am/was, and while I think this is something everyone goes through at some point in their life, when I checked out my (supposed) sun sign or Aquarius and (supposed) rising sign of Libra, a lot of things kinda fell into place. According to the chart above though, I am a capricorn and from my little knowledge on the subject (I would never profess to be anymore than a student) I have very little in common with the presumed characteristics of Capricorn. I have nothing specific against the sign, i just can’t find a similarity bewteen Capricorn and myself, whereas Aquarius was like the heavens opening and showing me my own face.
In sum though, I have been questioning whether astrology in its entirety can ever truly be taken on as a lifestyle. Interesting, yes, but I find it very difficult to believe it can all apply to so many different people, even full birth charts.
We cannot deny the moons influence, as we know it controls the tide, it would be arrogant to believe we are therefore not effected by it. As for the rest, although I’d love there to be a connection between ourselves and all the planets, there just simply isn’t enough sufficient investigation to come to an accurate decision about their influence.
My gut says yes, but my head says keep questioning.
Hi Becky,
just came here by searching for the 13th sign,
I allways found the zodiac is something fluid
I don’t mind being this or that sign as long
it feels good to be
Hi Kap ,
there are a lot more things pointing at 2012!
For example some reports I found on the SOHO -
homepage about sunspots….even scientists
expect big changes…in progress!
love & live
Lucky
all i can say is wow! i was looking up my daughters cusp jan 19th…and i came across a site that mentiond this 13th sign, i was born december 3, 1980, i have always felt so inbetween the two signs of sagg and scorp so when i did my birth chart i found i had sun in sagg and moon in scorp…anyhow i have always had the ability to heal animals and have had some strange things happen with them(wild animals coming right up to me) and to read about this extra sign stunned me because it fits me so well…i feel like im not crazy now for thinking that i was a little of both worlds
thanks for all the info on here!

Fascinated by all this and the 13th sign. I arrived to the site understanding that Ophiuchus was between Scorpio and Sagitarius and thinking that I might be one! Now apparently I am a Libra and more confused than ever.I suspect that Mr 7-Music (posted above) has the very same birthday as myself and similar feelings). If anyone with knowledge would like to enlighten a curious student. Here I am! sean_crane@hotmail.co.uk
Thanks.
S.C.
What is Serpentarius please?
WOW, the whole 13th sign and the chart is sooooooooo confuesing to me. It says I am Capricorn, but I do not act like one. I was born January 25th 1983 and my Chinese sign is the Dog which fits me to a T. I also feel very Aquarius, but sometimes I feel I share a little of some of the traits of an Aries man.
Yeah, I agree with Becky, I feel it doesn’t fit the Zodica chart nor does it feel right, it feels strange to me.
Very interesting. So in another way, I was born on the cusp of taurus/gemini and I went and read the characteristics of taurus. I have to admit that the similarities in my personality are closer to that of a taurus, then a gemini or cancer.
Was very much an Astrology buff, until I discovered, even through my search (although skeptical) Led me to search further Now I am less skeptical
because I am not a Leo, but a Cancer according to modern dating. ^_^
That left me more satisfied. Many people I know had a shock. I love this new sign,and yes Science accurately confirms it ‘Astronomically’ from their proper perspective.
I hope more can be done to create charts and conjunctions, most peoples’ natal charts are most likely inaccurate for today. Hopefully somebody can take the time to correct this.Thanks.
