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.

Sepent holder

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.

Imhotep

  • 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.

    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 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!

    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.

    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?

    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!

    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!!!!

    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?



    Upload your Avatar Watermark on October 19th, 2008 at 11:12 am

    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.

    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.

    The picture at the very top. that image actually does not represent Ophiuchus. that image is a image of commerce. the proper image of medicine is a single rod with a single serpent wrapping its self around it. that is the proper symbol of medicine and the symbol that represents Ophiuchus.

    I was born July 23, 1960 and always thought about the “cusp” not really knowing what that meant. When reading my horoscopes, i would find that Cancer most always applied to what my day or whatever was going on. Being born on that date always led me to believe I was a Leo and this horoscope thing was silly since it never made sense. I was born before midnight so couldn’t possibly be a Cancer. Ironically, my brother and I were born 9 years apart, him being born just after midnight July 24th 1951. In discovering this “13th Sign” theory, I think maybe there is something to this zodiac after all. I won’t read Leo horoscopes anymore.

    I have to say that I really appreciate Joe’s knowledge, wisdom & clairvoyance.

    I found out i fit into this bracket a year and a bit ago, and it has openned my eye’s then to a possiblity. I am more invigorated now taking time out to actually look up the information myself as when I found out it was brought to my attention from a true friend of mine of which there has been few in my life.

    I AM IN THE WOW STAGE ALSO… i will say that through my life it has not been rosey.. which explains the Jealousy.. I have always had an interest in the softer things in life and have been on a quest with in myself to gather knowledge. Where I sit now I am in a stage of self healing and trying to fine tune myself. I know realize all the downs of my life had led me to be who I am today and more importantly who i WILL be. I have very unique personal theries and I was please to see that there was an Egyption reference as my Intuition or clairvoyance is telling me it “feels” right. I read information about reiki a while back regarding tbe origination of that ability and the description of what the founder discussed sounded right to me, and I have been blessed with being given Fine Tunings by a past lover and now best friend. I have also had experiences where people are drawn to me and also animals. Bizaare things have happend to me also from just remaining open and operating from the distinction “every thing is the truth” its freeing in a way, or at least it put a stop to the Little Voice in my head I call my brain, or survival calculator.

    In what I have read above the thing I would like to add - I think the fact that there is a definate truth in both there being a specific place for the 13th star sign and it running along all sides of the zodiac signs. We all feel things we can’t explain at one time or the other… but for me the common denominator is LOVE - when you let go of all the meanings u have of it and what manifests in your body when attached thoughts of the past come to the forfront of your mind, I at least became present to the feeling or sensation I was experience instead of all the other “garbage” that was in my head.

    Beautiful :) As for this 2012 thing I find this very interesting and I too put myself in the distinct catagory of student - but given recent events, readings and events in my life I am aware that all the wisdom of the universe is in me to access… I also believe that we all possess our special little gift. Its a matter of having the inner passion and what ever words or actions you would use to invoke the necessary state with in.

    Thanks very much guys - chris is reaching out for the first time

    Love and light.

    I’m so confused. I am 08/28/86 baby and have never felt like a virgo 100%; more like 60%. then someone mentioned that maybe i was a cusp. So i read up on leo, and the parts of me that never fit in virgo (i love being on stage, being in the lime-light, i’m bad with money, i have a quick and firey passion/temper) fit with leo. only every place i look at says my bday should be 100% virgo.

    i’m eastern zodiac year of the Fire Tiger, and that fits me almost perfectly.

    Now this page says since i’m pre-1990 born, I’m a leo through and through.

    lol what’s the deal?!?! it makes it so hard to find out who i’m astrologically compatible with. right now i’m into a Taurean. the virgo side should be match in heaven, the leo not so much.

    To Nick: I have to so disagree with you. Saying all Scorpios act the same is so wrong. I am Aquarius and I seem to clash with the sign Gemini, but I know not all Geminis act the same. Not all the Geminis on this site annoy me. Becky is a Gemini, I find her very cool, she is very open-minded, and I feel she has bit of Aquarius in her, maybe she got those traits from her husband. Because she seems to love her husband buches :)

    I know I don’t act like all the Aquarius here, I am also very different from them. I know I some times feel I have bit of Aries in me. (And I can’t wait for the results of my consultion from Becky.) :)

    But no one of one star sign is going to act the same. Because there are other factors in invole such as . . . How one was rasie, their make up, personality and accoring to Becky the other planets invole in your birth chart the time you were born.

    I had a hard time accepting this at first. But after a week of assessing it. I find that I actually am a Pisces! At first I didn’t want to accept it. I liked being an Aries because that is what I knew. But I re-evaluated myself and found that I really am a Pisces. And also my friends who are Pisces are actually Aquariuses. I understand most people do not want to associate themselves with another sign, afterall we build our sign up to be the best in the zodiac.

    As far as harry1ophi1 giving dates for before and after 1990, I don’t agree with your dates. The zodiac moves ONE DAY every 70 years. Whereas you have the calendar jumping ahead like 38 days (i.e., Aries), from 1989 to 1990, which would be inaccurate. So we need to find out when the next alignment change is, go back 70 years, and that will dictate who the dates would apply to.

    I’m curious now as how this additional zodiac effects our Moon and Rising Sign. As far as I know they do not include Ophiuchus, and would need to in order to give an accurate reading.

    I am born on the cusp of Aries & Taurus and because of Ophiuchus I am given the power to adapt the positive qualities of both taurus and aries. With this new power of Ophiuchus I and everyone else can become as SuperHumans if they are able to adapt to new heights. However, I do feel for those who cannot adapt… those are people who are not of the cusp. Those people are true to their sign. like Taurtarians Ararians,Gemgeminians, Cancancerians…, unlike Picarians,Taurarians,Gemtaurians,Cangeminians…. If you have any problems with figuring this out get Linda Goodman’s Sunsigns… a book you can get at the library, Check it out. You will find valueable information in that book!!!!!!

    Hi Jess,

    yes i do very much agree with you on your point and if your moon sign is between 2 and 28 degrees sagg it is in the Serpentarius/Ophichus constellation.

    This 13th sign is also associated with ISIS the Egyptian goddess who protected the pharaoh. Ptlomey one of the Greek astronomers removed Ophiuchus because of its powerful association with the Egyptian female goddess, in an attempt to diminish the cult of Isis, perhaps for very sexist reasons! 13 is also quite a feminine and mystical number, remember there are actually 13 ‘lunar’ months in the year not twelve!

    I am very surprised to read this alleged recent turn of events in astrology, it upturns the whole system and leaves everyone completely apart from where we had understood ourselves to be prior.

    Personally it doesn’t seem right to me, I am not a professional astronomer or astrologer, but haven’t other ancient civilizations come to the conclusions of the dates for the tropical, 12-sign based zodiac?

    So how many instances of civilizations have concluded the 12-sign zodiac versus the number of ones who take the 13-sign zodiac to be truth? I don’t know the answer to that but I would like to know.

    I would also like to know, how many people have come along so far with any kind of major evidence that the 13-sign configuration is the right one?

    Only one person?

    I’m not trying to be closed minded or cynical, but the original 12-sign set up makes a lot more sense to me.

    4 elements distributed among 3 signs each which is perfectly EQUAL and then almost every sign is given about 30 days each which is EQUAL, why shouldn’t they be equal? It would make more sense that all signs are equal and that there would be an even distribution among the population, although yes that is only a presumption

    One major indicator, I think, is your own life and the way you express yourself. I am talking about the most BASIC form of energy that you radiate, yes of course taking your Moon and Rising signs into consideration

    How about for those of you who are supposed to have a SINGLE element predominant in your major 3 configurations (Sun/Moon/Rising)?

    If you have ALL fire signs for your Sun, Moon, and Rising according to the traditional 12-sign astrology, then the energy that you express should be CLEARLY a representation of that element

    It’s not hard to discern this, I believe. I think that every element is extremely distinct in its behavior and representation.

    Fire - ACTION
    Air - INTELLECT
    Water - EMOTIONS
    Earth - PRACTICALITY

    You can see it, you can feel it, it is almost tangible if you look for the element as they are being expressed by you.

    Rather than try to figure out if you “act like a Leo” or “are a lot like a Cancer” or whatever it is

    instead just try to focus on your energy and its direct relation to the element that it is supposed to be.

    I am a Pisces by both systems, but the people I know

    are all very much like the original 12-sign zoadiac description.

    I don’t think that this “new” system describes them very well at all.

    And also, yes I agree there are 13 moon cycles and that is important, but for the sake of being mathematically and pragmatically succinct, it would seem to me that adding a 13-th sign into the wheel is terribly inconvenient and throws off the whole harmony and simple balance of the regular distribution.

    Again, I am not a professional astrologer or astronomer by any means

    but I pay a great deal of attention to every person who is supposed to be a representation of water/fire/earth/air and cardinal/fixed/mutable and it always seems consistent with the original 12-sign system. But i am always open to hearing anyones opinion about anything relating to this.

    There are 13 lunar months in a year of about around ~385 days, not 365 and this thing is clearly structured within a 365 day calendar. It also has intervals that can’t fit into any lunar calendar because they are fixed along those 365 days and this would never coincide with any of the full or new moon dates.

    Personally it doesn’t make sense to me that he would try to abolish that sign based on sexism because it’s not the only feminine sign in the zodiac. All of the water signs, as well as Virgo and very feminine and he could have removed one of those in order to make it “less feminine” and even if 13 is a particularely feminine number, I don’t see how it could be so detrimental to keep it at “13″ no matter how many people understood that it was a number feminine in nature.

    I’m not sexist by any means, it just make sense that this system is a balance of numbers and affiliations, a 13th sign throws everything off balance. What element is Ophiuchus supposed to be anyways?

    I think Astrology is feminine either way, the water signs as well as Virgo (well, all the water and earth signs really) are expressions of the feminine, I personally don’t believe that could have been his motive.



    Upload your Avatar caryn on February 4th, 2009 at 8:37 pm

    I think that you prefer the balance and structure which is reflected with the 12 zodiac sun signs. Ophiuchus does however exist and is widely recognised so by astronomers, we can’tjust ignore it, it is on the ecliptic belt with the moon and sun etc; passing through it.

    I am probably stating the obvious here butthe Zodiac signs are not stars themselves but constellations with many stars within. So just as pisces is a constellation on the ecliptic belt with sun, moon etc passing through it so too is Ophiuchus with sun & moon passing through it also. I am not suggesting dismantling the structure of 12. I am just saying that we can work within it, there are other constellations on the ecliptic belt Ophiuchus being one of them (there are others on the ecliptic belt too). There is scope to refine and fine tune things to get more accurate readings. Therefore if someone says their their moon sign is more Ophiuchus than Saggitarius they are merely fine-tuning things for a more accurate in depth chart. Blessings, Caryn

    The people that are born under the one sign that would confuse me the most if this new system were to be valid would undoubtedly be: Aquarius.

    Just as Reo is saying, everyone who now thinks they are an Aquarius would instead be a Capricorn, and those are very, very different signs. Everyone I know who is born under Aquarius far more resembles an Aquarius than a Capricorn. It’s not limited to just this sign, and as Reo is also saying:

    What is the element of Ophiuchus anyways? My guess would also be earth, and if thats true (or any element for that matter)

    then the system gives one extra element in contrast with the other three, and that is a major imbalance for the harmony of a system that is mathematically succinct.

    I’m not about being closed-minded or avoiding evidence, it’s just going to take some serious hard data to convince me that this is the legitimate wheel of the zodiac. I am very interested in knowing more about this conviction for a new system.

    I just learned about Ophiuchus and find this all very interesting; largely because I am not emotionally invested in “being” a Sagittarian. Several astrologers over the years have told me that I am not a “typical” sag (born Nov27,1957) but could never really define why.
    After reading on several websites about the “Real” zodiac, where the signs are based on the true size of the constellations rather than an arbitrary 1/12th of the year, I learn that I am supposed to be a Scorpio.
    Ophiuchus caught my imagination because, during a period in my life while my personal quest was guided by the Native American cosmology, and a childhood spent on the family farm and consequent fascination with rattlesnakes, I had a rattler tatooed around my bicep. If Oph has any influence on my life, it’s interesting that I seem to have such an affinity for serpents. I AM the serpent-bearer.

    According to the old zodiac I’m an Aries/Scorpio and that fits me perfectly. The 13th sign just throws everything out of balance. Maybe it should just effect all signs depending on how close they are to it, but still not actually qualify as a sign itself. You know, like a higher influence. Now with that said I really can’t help but brag a little. Aries are hands down the best :). Strong, Confident, Number 1 in everything we do. We’re simply amazing, like pure perfection. I mean really. who wouldn’t want to be an Aries? Haha, I love that I’m an aries and I love my Scorpio influence too. They’re both amazing signs. Though in my opinion I think that the only other sign that could even come close to the greatness of Aries is Cancer. They’re just such kind, caring, strong people. Hats off to Cancers.

    I’m a “true” Leo, 8-19-1984, but I tend to be earthier than fire, I assume because my moon is in Taurus.

    My Husband is Bipolar type 2 & was born on 12-15-1980. I wonder if it has anything to do with being a sign that isn’t commonly known here … I mean he’s has Scorpio & Sagittarian tendencies, but has never really fit either. He fits Ophiuchus 100% even the being part of a big family & leaving at an early age.

    I’m not blaming I sign for a chemical imbalance, I just wonder how common it is for people with Ophiuchus to have that chemical imbalance.

    Case & point, my grand mother’s birthday was December 13th & she was also Bipolar.

    Hi everyone, I have been reading up on Ophiuchus and I have to say that I am quite intrigued. I dont know alot about any of this.I mean I know I am lined up as a Sagittarius. That’s about it. I know whenever I read my horoscopes they are usually pretty fun, there usually a little wrong but hey its a best guess. Anyways what I was wondering is, if there is a 12 sign zodiac and there is also 13 signs why hasn’t anyone made up a 13 sign zodiac chart?(If they havent already)Or why hasn’t someone formed characteristics about one who is Ophiuchus? You know like they have now for the 12 other traditional signs.
    If we went by the 13 signs I would be Ophiuchus going by 12 I am Sagittarius.
    I am not biased to either two. (But I must say my favorites numbers are 13 and 5 :)!)

    Mona, Ophiuchus is an Ancient Greek constellation. The Serpent Bearer is one of the original Ptolemy constellations, appearing in Al Magest Star Catalogue [c 130 - 170 AD]. He also appears on the Farnese Globe, a Roman copy of a circa 2nd century BC depiction of Atlas holding the Celestial Sphere above his head. The sun does indeed pass through this sign and all the planets do as well, making it a legitimate 10th sign (I’m not sure why everyone calls it the 13th, that would be Aquarius). There’s not a 12 and 13 sign chart, there’s the original 13 sign chart and then one with the 10th sign (Ophiuchus) taken out. With the rise of Christianity with Constantine and the merging of traditions, things were changed around, including the calendar days and the astrological signs. 12 was easier to use to merge Astrology and Christianity (12 signs around 1 sun, 12 disciples around 1 son). Also the serpent went from being a healing totem or medicine sign to an evil deceitful devil because of the Bible depiction, so nobody could be born under a serpent sign, they’d be burned at the stake in those days. It was easier to just change the degrees to an equal 12 sign zodiac with the changes in history, even though the Ophiuchus is most definitely a sun sign in between Scorpio and Sagittarius, I hope that helped some?

    Also, Adam R, it’s not some mystical magical life determining factor. The human is far more complex and hardly ruled by the position of the stars. There will be plenty of people who are nothing like the typical description of their sun signs, because for one, there’s more than just sun signs. Everyone has a moon sign, and different planets being in different houses change attributes a lot. Year of birth and changes in the solar system alter things, space is not consistent, our modern zodiacal positions have changed from ancient zodiacal positions, since the earth and other planets and stars are moving ever slightly in other directions. We know that galaxies in space are constantly moving further apart and expanding, this changes the zodiac by a few degrees every so many hundred years. Try to not be so confused, there’s more to your life than the stars you were born under, friend.

    I am DEC 14… After knowing my numerology numbers and Chinese sign and now this… I’m not buying this!! Saggitarius is the 9th sign!Numerolgy#9 ALSO saggitarius representing the 9th sign… The meaning of 9 will be simular to ophiuchus based on what they describe! I do not agree with the dates and what most of it says.. I’m know my self and all my major signs… and I can see why this is not accepted in astrology!! Especially with a ruling a number 9 as Saggitarius … there is humain in that number.. I just don’t agree.. I’m not being ignorant… I think most of this ophiuchus stuff is just phycological!! I havent magically healed anybody before.. Now how about that!! (as a joke) Ohh ohh, I’m not saggitarius anymore.. I don’t feel like adventure or adapting anymore & now I’m not a fire sign, now I feel like a ophiuchus and need to heal people because Im told now I’m a Ophiuchus!!!!! LOL LOL I believe there is some very minor influence with Saggitarius people who I came across that have an interest in the medical field between Nov 30 to Dec 17, who has some minor influence of ophiuchus as a constlation star (minor strengh level)!! But to tell me I’m not a Sag and now this whole ophiuchus crap along with other people’s western signs not being signs of who the people are… GIVE ME A BREAK!! I came across enouth people between Nov 30 to Dec 17 like me and they represent a Saggitarius(They have enouth of of in them- still with the goofy smile)!! Half the stuff they describe about ophiuchus is the same as Saggitarius and how come ophiuchus doesn’t have an opposite!! Explain that!!

    I read my first book about a 13th sign back in the early 1970’s. This caused a difference in the dates for the Sun signs. With or without the addition of Ophiuchus, there is a difference between the Tropical (based on seasons) and Sidereal (based on stars) dates.

    The Spring Equinox now placed around 20 March, shifts backwards through the Zodiac a fraction of a degree every year due to the way the Earth rotates - approximately 1 degree every 72 yrs. Most tables that list the daily positions of planets, include the Synetic Vernal Point (SVP) - the current sidereal location of the Equinox, from which one can convert from one to the other. So I am not sure where the above commentator got the information about the dates before and after 1990. Even the conventional dates vary by 1 or 2 days, and must be checked for that year.

    So with all this emphasis on accuracy, why not 13 signs? How is one to know what system is “Right” ? And if astronomers say the Sun stays in Scorpio only 7 days, what is one to believe?

    We could think about it this way: All ancient cultures compiled detailed astronomical and environmental observations of all kinds. Divisions of the earth, sky, and time into 12, 8, or 360 degree segments, related to numerology, feng shui, and many other methods of creating harmonious relationships between one’s self and the world.

    To this day, the Chinese, Indians and Arabs, use astrological systems that give equal importance
    or more, to a person’s Moon Sign in 27 or 28 “stations”. Multiple planets in one sign, Lunar Nodes, Arabic Parts, asteroids and even Black Holes are used by some astrologers to collect information beyond one’s sun sign.

    All these systems are tools to help us understand our world and our place in time. Knowledge of “the Wheel of the Year” was essential for crops, animal migrations, floods and weather patterns. Originally, “the Future” was more about understanding repeating cycles, than about “predicting” isolated events.

    Uneven numbers have been with us from the beginning, and accounted for nearly as long - days
    and months are not exactly 24 hrs or 30 days, but sun rises and lunar phases absolutely repeat. Astronomical constellations are of irregular lengths, but the “wavelength” or “spirit” of Aries is as
    distinct from Taurus as the color red is from green. These are functional structures that help us manage patterns and cycles of events and behavior.

    So, relax - No one can take your identity from you! Choose whatever systems answer your questions and describe you best. Each has plenty of practitioners to support you. And be kind to others who are open-minded enough to include any Astrology in their lives.

    Best Wishes to you all.

    I THINK I MAY HAVE CRACKED THE THEORY THANKS TO ALL OF YOU, BECKY, AND MY OWN KNOWLEDGE!!!!!
    FIRST OFF HARRY1OPHI1- This chart is wrong to me-
    THE FOLLOWING SIDEREAL ZODIAC IS FOR PEOPLE BORN BEFORE 1990 (is incorrect!)

    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

    The following Sidereal Zodiac below is for children born beginning 1990: (is incorrect!)

    AQUARIUS March 26 - April 18
    PISCES April 19 - May 26
    ARIES May 27 - June 20
    TAURUS June 21 - July27
    GEMINI July 28 - August 27
    CANCER August 28 - September 17
    LEO September 18 - October 24
    VIRGO October 25 - December 9
    LIBRA December 10 - January 1
    SCORPIO January 2 - January 8
    OPHIUCHUS January 9 - Janury 26
    SAGITTARIUS January 27 - February 27
    CAPRICORN February 28 - March 25

    Why- because I have analyzed my humungous social group which is born before 1990 and many people born after and have watched their influences with my own eyes. Also most of you are wrong because you are not taking into account your Rising Sign(ascending sign) and your Moon Sign (true emotions) and your Chinese Year( your disposition) and your years secret sign ( your other ascending sign!) Then all the planets which I have done for all of my friends and many friends on my myspace because I am obsessed which is about 200 people, including new ones almost every month, and I have taken into account all of these things! and applied them to people before 1990 and after and to me and I have proved the charts wrong and know it to be true!Before my eyes, applied all these things you all may have forgotten these and I tested them and have seen them for myself on over 200 people! I can almost guarantee that if all of you who think the chart is true, that if we figure out these other things we may prove that what you thought was true already exists in you and is a big influence!

    On another note, ***Ophiuchus*** -besides most of you not taking into consideration the rising sign, moon sign, year, etc… (which explains why you probably think the chart is true), you also have to take into notice that besides the charts

    A. Most people who sense the ophicus might not have analaysed the rising sign, year, moon, etc… and possibly have incredibly amounts of pisces, cancer, or SCORPIO which are very deep and intuitive signs which posess great intuition and emotion. WHich would definitely be the mother nature healing signs.

    B. THe OPHIUCHUS = NOVEMBER 30 - DECEMBER 17 so it falls away from the cusp of scorpio which is 21st to about 25th, so it is safe to say that ophicus runs on saggitarius only. So in theory everyone is still Saggittarius but MAY POSSESS THE OPHIUCUS!!!!! NOTICE how i have not ruled it out, soo many of you seem to sense it, maybe it’s biased opinion and you really want to be it, or maybe you have not checked your rising sign,moon, year, etc… or maybe you truly sense it and it is really apparant and evident in this dated time…..!

    Also there are such things as Leo 1, Leo 2, Leo 3 Capricorn 1, Capricorn 2, Capricorn 3, etc… for all the signs, this may be a very special and unique saggitarius cointaing cancer or somethign or may make this saggitarius a bit different?!?! So we cannot rule it out unless we do all the influences on the people above and figure out what they possess inside already and see if that is what they are sensing and prove it wrong! We can really do it! Will Becky have the energy for that I don’t know?!?!?!

    And besides what I just wrote above, if The sun is going through Ophiucus separately from Sagg and Scorpio then that is a whole unique sun sign and in my analyzing of all people born at that time they were all SAGGITTARIUS before my eyes and that is WITH rising sign, moon, year, etc…. EVEN MY DOG (dec. 2nd) acts SAGG. all the way, my black lab is a saggitarius, year of Pig(scorpio in western) Virgo Moon, and I don’t quite know his rising sign, but the sagg in him always wanteing to go explore somewhere new, and be overly enthusiastic even though he is now 13 years old is quite amazing to me so I DISSAGREE, OPHIUCUS IS NOT EVIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!
