Have you noticed the “new one?” Ophiuchus (pronounced or-phew-cuss) is the 13th zodiac sign, a summer constellation well-known to stargazers but overlooked by traditional astrology. It’s true! On November 29, the Sun enters the constellation of Ophiuchus and leaves on December 18… a period of the year typically associated with Sagittarius.
Many Sagitarians are actually Ophiucuns, despite the fact that many of us are the star sign before the one we assume we are.
When you look at the list of true star sign dates, you’ll notice that the Sun spends vastly varying amounts of time within each zodiacal constellation. It travels into Scorpio in a week and out in a week, while spending 45 days in Virgo.
It’s partly due to the fact that the star signs were reduced down to 12 (omitting Ophiuchus) and then rounded up to cover a month each.
The astrological star signs were established by the Babylonians who lived in Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq and Syria, around 3,000 years ago.
Precession is a natural process that occurs every 25,800 years and causes the Earth to wobble on its axis, much like a spinning top, due to the gravitational impact of the Moon. As a result, the “North Star” and the equinox positions are continually changing. In other words, the stars’ apparent locations have migrated west.
As a result, the Sun on your birthday is very unlikely to be in the same star sign as it is according to traditional astrology.
So the next time someone checks your horoscope or says something like “typical Capricorn!” you may be sure they’re talking nonsense. Because, in addition to giving meaning to alignments, which is illogical, their alignments are 3,000 years old.

The Ox’s most significant years are now 2033, 2021, 2009, 1997, 1985, 1973, 1961, 1949, and 1937. Every 12 years, an Ox year occurs. In the Chinese Zodiac, the zodiac sign Ox is positioned second.
The year 2021 is the Year of the Ox, which begins on February 12th and ends on January 31st, 2022. It’s the year of the Metal Ox. The year 2022 will be the Year of the Tiger.
The Ox is a symbol of diligence, power, honesty, down-to-earth persistence, and riches as the strongest animal of the 12 Chinese zodiac signs, known as “the helpful helper” in Chinese farming.
Is Ophiuchus the zodiac’s rarest sign?
Aries is the second rarest zodiac sign, followed by Sagittarius, both of which are fire signs, according to Stardust.
According to Stardust, the first sign of the zodiac is Aries, which has a spark of creativity that “gets everyone going and moving.” According to Stardust, Sagittarius, the third rarest zodiac sign, “falls during the autumn season and are renowned to be adventurous and free-spirited.”
Is Ophiuchus a water sign or a fire sign?
Although neither astrology system recognizes Ophiuchus as a sign, some sidereal astrologers may use it in their profession. The serpent-bearer constellation is located between the late degrees of the fixed water sign Scorpio and the early degrees of the mutable fire sign Sagittarius.
What are the three most important indications in my life?
Your Sun sign, Moon sign, and rising sign, also known as ascending sign, are the three most important places in your birth chart. Your Sun sign is the foundation of your personality and who you are as a person. Your Moon sign indicates your emotional side and who you are when you’re alone. Finally, your rising sign is the initial impression others get of you and how you appear on the outside.
Dominant and invigorating lucky colors for 2021: white, gray and silver
Metal, the major element of the Chinese year 2021, represents resistance, collective interests, determination, and persistence, according to Chinese astrology and Feng Shui. Metal is more closely associated with incisiveness, instinct, money, independence, and wealth in the Yin polarity. White, gray, and gold are the hues most typically associated with the Metal element, according to Wu Xing’s teachings. The gray and silver tones, on the other hand, represent the Metal element in its Yin form.
What is the appearance of Ophiuchus?
Ophiuchus is located northwest of the Milky Way’s center, between Aquila, Serpens, Scorpius, Sagittarius, and Hercules. Scorpius to the west and Sagittarius to the east make up the southern portion. Summer is the greatest time to see it in the northern hemisphere. It’s the polar opposite of Orion. Ophiuchus is represented as a man holding a serpent, with his body dividing the Serpens constellation into two sections, Serpens Caput and Serpens Cauda. Ophiuchus is a constellation that spans the equator, with the most of its territory in the southern hemisphere. Rasalhague, the brightest star in the constellation, is located towards the northern edge of Ophiuchus, with a declination of about +12 30 degrees. The constellation reaches 30 degrees declination to the south. Within Ophiuchus, portions of the ecliptic are south of 20 degrees declination.
What is the correct pronunciation of Ophiuchus?
Ophiuchus is pronounced /fijuks/ in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Ophiuchus is pronounced “oh-FEW-kuss” in simple old English.
What is the difference between Ophiuchus and Sagittarius?
It all started with a story that had been resurfaced. Ophiuchus, or the serpent-bearer, is the 13th zodiac sign found by NASA. Anyone born between November 29 and December 17 is an Ophiuchus, not a Scorpio or a Sagittarius. Scorpio’s window would be reduced to just seven days, and the entire astrology chart would alter, resulting in different star signs for some Pisces, Leos, and Libras. As astrology fans on the internet began to panic, NASA stepped in to gently correct the record.
What are the signs of the zodiac that I belong to?
Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces are the 12 zodiac signs in order. Each zodiac sign has a symbol that dates back to Middle Ages Greek manuscripts. Let’s look at the zodiac symbols, constellations, and qualities in more detail.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
The ram is the constellation that represents Aries, the first of the twelve zodiac signs. You are adventurous, active, ambitious, and competitive if you were born under this sign. Aries are recognized for their agility and leadership abilities, as well as a tendency to be impetuous and blunt (due to the “fire” aspect).
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Taurus is the second of the twelve zodiac signs, and the constellation Taurus represents it. You are dedicated, dependable, focused, and creative if you were born under this sign. Tauruses are noted for their intelligence, trustworthiness, and stubbornness (the sign is a bull, after all). Tauruses are notorious for questioning authority and seeking pleasure.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
The constellation Gemini, which is made up of the Dioscurithe twins, Castor and Pollux, represents Gemini, the third of the twelve zodiac signs. You are active, expressive, intellectual, and playful if you were born under this sign. Geminis are recognized for their gregarious personalities and diverse interests, yet they have a (probably undeserved) reputation for being duplicitous.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
The constellation Cancer, which is most typically pictured as a crab, represents Cancer, the fourth of the twelve zodiac signs. If you were born under this sign, you are brave, empathetic, protective, and perceptive. Cancers are noted for their tendency to be remote and passive-aggressive, as well as their caring nature.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
The lion is the constellation that represents Leo, the fifth of the twelve zodiac signs. You are vivacious, extroverted, and fiery if you were born under this sign. Leos are recognized for their warm personalities and great self-esteem, although they can be proud or jealous at times.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
The virgin is the constellation that represents Virgo, the sixth of the twelve zodiac signs. You are practical, analytical, and sophisticated if you were born under this sign. Virgos are recognized for their generosity and meticulous attention to detail, yet they may also be introverted and have unrealistic expectations for themselves and their loved ones.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
The scales, the only inanimate constellation, represents Libra, the seventh of the twelve zodiac signs. You are thought to be balanced, social, and diplomatic if you were born under this sign. Libras are recognized for their selflessness and camaraderie, although they can be overly pragmatic and insecure at times.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Scorpio is the eighth of the twelve zodiac signs, and it is symbolized by the scorpion constellation. You are loyal, resourceful, and dedicated if you were born under this sign. Scorpios are recognized for their boldness and pioneering spirit, but they may be abrasive and walled off to strangers.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
The archer is the constellation that represents Sagittarius, the ninth of the twelve zodiac signs. If you were born under this sign, you are cheerful, self-reliant, and intellectual. Sagittariuses are noted for their magnetic qualities and generosity, yet they can also be arrogant and direct.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
Capricorn is the tenth of the twelve zodiac signs, and it is symbolized by the sea goat constellation. If you were born under this sign, you are patient, hardworking, and disciplined. Capricorns are recognized for their tenacity and fondness for boundaries and regulations, but they may be stubborn and too concerned with perfection.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Aquarius is the eleventh of the twelve zodiac signs, and it is symbolized by the water carrier constellation. If you were born under this sign, you are thought to be creative, loyal, and unique. Aquariuses are recognized for their rebellious temperament and ingenuity, but they can be aloof and unyielding with loved ones.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Pisces is the last of the twelve zodiac signs, and it is symbolized by the fishes constellation. You are intuitive, artistic, and sympathetic if you were born under this sign. Pisces are famed for their empathy and artistic abilities, yet they can also be overly sensitive or delusional.
