Entity looks at Ophiuchus

Thought you were a Sagittarius or a Scorpio? Think again because there’s a 13th Zodiac sign.

If your birthday falls between November 29th and December 17th, you’re actually an Ophiuchus. Surprise!

Here is everything you need to knoMw about this less popular astrology sign.

What is the Ophiuchus sign, exactly?

Ophiuchus means the “serpent bearer” in Greek and is pronounced, “o-few-cus.” This mythological character was inspired by the constellation, Serpens, which resembles a snake.

It is the only Zodiac sign that is a man. The mythological symbol is based on a man named Imhotep, who lived in ancient Egypt in 27 B.C. and was the illegitimate son of Apollo.

Ophiuchus (aka Asclepios, the god of medicine) was seen as a danger to the town of Hades, so Zeus sent him to the sky alongside the serpent. This banishment became a representation of renewed life.

What are some Ophiuchus traits?

Basically, if you mix the good and bad of Sagittarius and Scorpio signs, then you will get this unique sign. Here is a breakdown of what it means to be an Ophiuchus.

Uh oh, the fun part is over. They have an elevated sense of pride that is borderline arrogant and won’t accept being seen as inferior. Those with this sign can also be honest to a fault (aka have no filter). They enjoy being the center of attention and they want others to remind them how wonderful they are.

6 Responsible isn’t always a part of their vocabulary.

The Ophiuchus sign is synonymous with procrastination. They also have a violent temper at times, but it is short lived. In relationships, they struggle with being monogamous but ironically they are also the jealous type. In general, they tend to be more secretive about their personal lives. They can’t all be good traits, right?

But what about people who prefer their old Zodiac sign?

Basically, you can decide which sign you want to identify with it. You’re probably thinking, “Wait, this isn’t how the Zodiac works.” Actually, it is.

The Zodiac signs have not officially changed, even though this constellation has received more attention recently. However, some astrologers do include Ophiuchus in their horoscopes. Astrology is really just meant to give you a better understanding of yourself. So if these don’t resonate with you, don’t feel obliged to “match” the descriptions.

The bottom line is…

The sign Ophiuchus is the 13th constellation that not everyone is accepting into the Zodiac. It is a mixture of the Sagittarius and Scorpio signs, so it makes for an interesting character.

If your zodiac sign has been flipped on its head, you can choose to stick with the old or embrace the new. Enjoy learning about this fascinating addition to the astrology world!
