Ophiuchus is not a zodiac sign in Western astrology, which only uses 12 zodiac signs and is based on the Tropical zodiac.
Ophiuchus
Ophiuchus is a constellation the sun passes along the sky, so it is a zodiac constellation, but modern astrology doesn't have anything to do with the constellations anymore. In some areas, Ophiuchus is given a zodiac sign, which looks like a U with a squiggly line through it.
Ophiuchus is often mistakenly called the 'thirteenth sign of the zodiac' because the sign is thought of as an additional sign to the the twelve Tropical or Sidereal signs. In fact, Ophiuchus is a Sun-sign in the Real Solar Zodiac, i.e. the Sun can be seen against the stars of Ophiuchus between 30th November and 17th December each year. 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].
The 13th constellation is Ophiuchus, also known as the Serpent Bearer. It is located between Scorpio and Sagittarius and is not typically included in the traditional zodiac signs used in Western astrology.
Astronomically, there are thirteen, arguably fourteen zodiacal constellations with Ophiuchus joining the classical twelve and Cetus's constellation boundary's corner touching the ecliptic. Astrologically, there are only twelve zodiac signs. Signs and constellations are not the same thing, but they are named after one another.
No, they discovered that the dates that define the horoscopes are not quite accurate. The cusp (borderline dates) of each horoscope is out by a few days, therefore if you are an Aries in the old system, you should also be reading the previous sign, which is pisces, and so on.
If you mean Ophiuchus, November 30th to December 17th.
13 Signs of the Zodiac. If we count all the traditional constellations, there are 13 in the zodiac, not 12, the 13th being "Ophiuchus."
The addition of a new zodiac sign, such as Ophiuchus, is based on the precession of the Earth's axis over time. This phenomenon causes the constellations to shift in relation to the Earth's position, leading some astrologers to include Ophiuchus as a thirteenth sign. However, this change is not widely accepted or recognized in mainstream astrology.
the new zodiac sign is Ophiuchus and its from November 29 till December 17. It is pronounced as (of-fee-u-cus) I am 98% sure it is pronounced like this. 2% sure it is not.
most hate it and dont believe it should be counted in astrology and/or the zodiac
