And my ex-wife now a Taurus instead of Gemini?THAT I can believe!
When they standardized the constellations in 1928, they put the ecliptic going through Ophiuchus. It looks like Theta Ophiuchi is the big troublemaker, and it has an old style name, so the trouble started a very long time ago.
Yes, this star was called Theta Ophiuchi as early as 1889, in Star Names by Richard Hinckley Allen.
I think they could have put this piece of the ecliptic into Scorpio or Sagittarius and preserved the 12 constellations.
Thanks. People sure made much of the skies before there was TV.
My hubby is a Capricorn. I am a Virgo. According to this, I’m a Leo and he’s Sagittarius. Now, unless they have also redone the characteristics of these signs; they simply do not fit. I am most definitely a Virgo, and my hubby is most definitely a Capricorn.
I’m still a Leo.
No wonder the Chinese used to toss sticks on the ground and consult a book.....
I’m a Cap on Jan 8th. Too bad some terrible stuff happened on my b-day..
since i’m a typical taurus, i know better than to believe in this astrology mumbo-jumbo
This superstition is based on the Forer Effect. Another one in the same category is MBTI.

[Ophiuchus: Nov. 29-Dec. 17 ] !!!
Gads, we’ve got a lot of ‘unseen’ people walking the earth!!
I haven’t bothered to read my horoscope in years; I don’t mess with that sort of stuff. . but, I’ve always enjoyed being a Leo the Lion, and Cancer doesn’t have quite the same ring to it. I think I’ll stay a Leo.
Until recently, Ophiuchus was not included in standard astrological zodiacs, which divide the ecliptic into abstract 30-degree segments (implying exactly 12 signs) rather than using the physical constellations, with only a few astrologers using a sidereal zodiac use it as the 13th zodiacal sign.
Could be the sign of the anti-christ?
The 13th zodiac - Ophiuchus
This constellation is considered the 13th zodiac sign but for some reason it has been omitted from modern astronomy. This zodiac is said to rise up and be positioned directly over the sun for the first time in the last days.
1. This sign is called the “serpent - bearer” and is a man holding a serpent.
2. The sign is direct opposite from Orion.
3. This sign represents healing, medicine, and immortality (the medical field today uses the serpent).
Now we know a future man which speaks like a dragon serpent will come upon the earth performing miracles and offering everlasting life. So is there a connection with the rising of Ophiuchus and the man of sin or mere coincidence??
Damn that George W. Bush for screwing this up.
Ophiuchus Christmas is my two front teeth.
wow an Aries to a Pisces
Ophiuchus - the serpent holder.
