Ophiuchus is an equatorial constellation that can only be seen with the naked eye in the month of June. The brightest star in this constellation is Ras Alhage. Some astrologers have long been trying to add the 13th sign of the zodiac to the horoscope, while others, on the contrary, believe that Ophiuchus is not a zodiac constellation and has nothing to do with astrology. The controversy does not subside, astrologers still cannot come to a consensus.
The ancient calendar consisted of 13 months
The symbol of the Ophiuchus is a serpent, which consists of two parts: the "Tail of the Serpent" and the "Head of the Serpent". The thirteenth zodiac constellation is located inside the Serpent and occupies a huge celestial area.
For the first time, the idea of making changes to the traditional zodiac constellations was voiced by the American scientist Park Kunkle. The thirteenth sign of the zodiac was named Ophiuchus. The proposal for changes in the zodiacal circle and the introduction of Ophiuchus into it was not supported by all of Kunkl's colleagues.
In the astrological world, the 13th zodiac sign is far from new. The calendar with 13 months a year was developed in the ancient world, and each month had exactly 28 days in it, which was 4 weeks. This calendar was still not adopted due to the loss of time that happened every month. Thus, the 13th sign of the zodiac was forgotten for a while.
Ophiuchus in the horoscope
Astrologers have been studying the charts of the starry sky for several years now, giving the constellation Ophiuchus a special mystical meaning. It is believed that people born between November 27 and December 17 can consider Ophiuchus as their zodiac sign.
It is believed that people born under the constellation Ophiuchus are endowed with completely opposite character traits. They can be wise and stupid at the same time, sometimes you can only admire their courage, but sometimes they behave like real cowards.
Astrologers say that for a long time the ancient magicians hid the very fact of the existence of the 13th constellation from ordinary people. According to myths, the knowledge and characteristics of Ophiuchus were inherited by the Aryans from some mysterious and highly developed extinct civilization.
Among the ancient Aryans, Ophiuchus in the zodiacal circle is identified with the king of the universe Zachak, who was seduced by the forces of darkness. On the shoulders of this mythical creature sat man-eating snakes, and later this god became a symbol of grief and misfortune.
Many peoples believed that during the period when the Earth is in the power of Ophiuchus, it makes no sense for a person to hope for divine help. At this time, God does not hear the prayers of people.
The constellation Serpent for ancient people symbolized fear and despair, it personified evil and deceit. Apparently, it is for these reasons that Ophiuchus was never included in the zodiacal circle.
People born under the sign of Ophiuchus
Ophiuchus gives some people happiness and a serene life, and others endless grief and suffering. Ophiuchus people are real hostages of their fate.
They are unable to exert at least some influence on their fate, for them everything has already been decided in heaven. Often people born under this sign manage to achieve great heights and material well-being in life.
Ophiuchus is an extremely dangerous person, and it is better not to be at enmity with him. These people do not forgive self-hostility.
At the same time, Ophiuchus, like no other, knows how to be a loyal and reliable comrade, ready to help in difficult times.
The characteristics of the 13th sign of the Zodiac are rather complicated, and the fate of Ophiuchus people is always difficult. Many of them can become slaves of bad habits, which will be extremely difficult for them to overcome.
Ophiuchus is the only sign for which inaction is simply contraindicated. He must be in constant motion. Life for them is a constant struggle and an endless journey.
