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.

@Rose Iannone Scorpio ends on November 21. You were born on the cusp if you didn’t write a typo…
Anyways I’m supposed to be a Scorpio but I think Virgo fits me better. I’ve always ‘felt’ like an Earth sign.

I think what people need to remember is that there is always going to be both posotive AND negative to all zodiac signs. Taureans can be so bullheaded and stubborn. But they are also more loyal. I keep seeing people mention the ‘bad’ part of their sign, and that they didn’t feel it applied to them. I don’t buy into the whole “13th Zodiac sign” because it’s like trying to change what has been since the dawn of man. I’m glad some are happy with it. But i will stick to the traditional zodiac.

I always believed I was a Sagittarius because my parents forced me to believe it, but after some intensive research, I found out that i am a child born under the Ophiuchus star sign; December 17.

Everyone who is already born is the Same Sign. The planets won’t shift in your birth year. Those are already set. The addittion of Ophiucus ONLY effects those born in 2011 and after. Relax everyone! Yousr still the same sign.
For those of you who “don’t match” your sign? How close were you born to the Begining or End of that Cycle? You can take on the traits of the sign before or after yours, depending on which one you were born Closest too

I love learning different ideas, especially where religion is involved. I honestly do not feel like a capricorn and never have. My birthday is Jan 5 1989. If we take a look at history the earlier religions did not take to the number thirteen to well, so maybe this is true for this religion. We can only remain open in our thinking and know a sign does not define who we are or what we make of ourselves.:)

well you see, i’m strongly sticking to the 12 zodiacs cuz i don’t want to be removed from gamini. but i heard some say that the 13th sign is only well… effective for those who are born in 2009 and above… but i’m born in the 90’s so i’m still gemini!!!!!!! I LOVE BEING GEMINI.
June 27th, 2011 at 12:28 pm
I AM FREAKIN NOT TAURUS!!!!!!! I’M A GEMINI FROM HEAD TO TOE… it fits me perfectly. I was always a two sided person. And also a negative one. I’m an air sign too. TAURUS DOESN’T EVEN GET CLOSE TO MY PERSONALITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is absolutly outragous! I am disapointed in everything that they are saying…you can’t just say that there’s a new sign in the Zodiacs when everything hase been this way since the begining. I meen sure you all ‘think’ that this sign had been here the WHOLE time, but you can’t, honestly think that you can just jump in and change everything about Asstrology. It’s not right. I hope that people learn to open their eyes.

First the meso-americans said that this sign would return but that it would take something like 200 years to stableize in the orbit. Secend, if you devide a solar year by 13 you get an almost excact fit to the lunar year as in 13 of them in one year. Third the lunar year fallows crop planting as well as female minstration, so it’s use was very brod in early “Man” it also coused a lot of casos when it fell behind with the presetion of the sun. The return of this sign marks the middle of the long count of 24,000 or so years. It fell somewhere around the time of the bilding of the sphinx and was problly the reason for all the astrological megaliths from stone henge to the paramids being that if one only judges time passage from the zodiac movement when one goes missing, no matter how slow, it wrenchs everyone out of the rutt of normality and makes the wise take notce. The real thing to watch is the “Dark Rift” of 12/23-25/2012 that will be a big event talked about for generations and is what the mayan calender counts from and to. Apperentally, that is the only stationary refrence point they found to count time from.

is Ophiuchus really a zodiac or just a Constillation?
September 20th, 2011 at 4:52 pm
Besides the fact that Ophiuchus is the 12th sign and not the 13th as it actualy fits between the 11th & 13th ,, Which is what is happening in the night sky as the three merge like told by the Myans .. If you look at the very tip of the archers arrow you will see the center of the Universe .

Why is the thirteenth sign not included?
February 11th, 2012 at 1:00 am
It was Ophiuchus is not Imhotep but the one and only Hermes Trismegistus. The Staff of Hermes (aka Caduceus) is the original form of the Rod of Asclepius. He was called the “Thrice Greatest Hermes”, as he was worshipped as 3 different gods: Thoth (Egypt), Hermes (Greece), and Mercury (Rome). The Rod Of Asclepius was taken from the true life story of the Thrice Greatest himself to include their own cultures in the marvel of another mythology; which is proven through the fact that man creates their own gods as they feel they are needed.
Ophiuchus and Mercury are the only planets/zodiacs pre-20th century that were named by a homo sapien actually documented of walking the earth.
But don’t take this website’s or my word for it…Look it up for yourselves. Hermes Trismegistus.

I look at this Asrology alot, you must know!
I too– love ASTROLOGY and study it alot.
However I must say, I just spend another couple hours
in the compnay of my ARIES brother, I am TAURUS, we have never gotten along well,
yet we are both adults, so to keep the peace for my dear Mother who is 90 I just never
answer for her sake, keeping the peace, but let me tell you, in this new
chart made up it says MAY 13 is ARIES, and you can ask anyone that knows me,
and I am so sorry I do not fit ARIES at all, I am each too easy, to be ARIES,
which to me—– can be very —very ARROGANT! Thoughtless,believe me!

Lol… I see so much confusion …. Your SUN SIGN … doesn’t necessarily rule your traits… You would need an astrologer to make up an astrological chart with all of your signs filled into their respective houses. Each house represents one aspect that traits deal with … that is why some people in certain Sun signs have tendencies to act like other signs or develop personalities accordingly. Here is a list of all the different types of signs you can have …
Sun
Rising
Mercury
Venus
Moon
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
Pluto
Astrology is the belief the the gravitational pull of the planets as well as the moon and the ascendant all determine your life’s personality. The houses which add to specific aspects that are affected by the signs attributes determine a much more rounded personality. Also, your geographic place of birth is also a factor. Some signs travel through the zodiac in hours instead of days.
As an example .. Your sun sign might be Pisces and exist in the 3rd house on the day you were born according to where on Earth you were born. You might have Scorpio as your Venus sign and it might exist in the 6th house… there are also 12 houses … Astrology is not a simple straight forward and direct theory… it has many levels of depth and only one who studies it in depth can actually tell you all of the different meanings of houses and signs and how they work with each other. I for one don’t believe in astrology any more .. but at one time in my life I was able to create astrological charts but it required having books that listed times each planet went through each sign. The books I used then covered from 1900 - 2000 … so anyone born after 2000 would need the new books that probably cover from 2000-2100.
