Ophiuchus - The 13th Sign of the Zodiac |
 |
I would just like to say that what I have written below is based on research for those interested in the 13th sign NOT on my own beliefs. I remain a firm believer in the 12 sign zodiac but will carry on my research. To those of you who are heavily religious - please do not use my site to put down those of us who don’t share in your beliefs, this is after all an astrological website so please respect that. Also any comments abusing any person and/or their beliefs will not be approved. 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.

Ophiuchus - The 13th Sign of the Zodiac
October 13th, 2008 at 8:48 am
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!

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

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?
October 18th, 2008 at 7:58 pm
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

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.

What is Serpentarius please?
November 2nd, 2008 at 7:44 am
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.
November 18th, 2008 at 9:06 am
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.
