New Zodiac ~Ophiuchus~

1. Ophiuchus is real constellation of stars that exists along the same pathway as the zodiac. The constellations that align with the signs of the zodiac Aquarius, Cancer, etc. roughly line up along the ecliptic, the trail that the sun appears to travel over the Earth. The sun passes in front of Ophiuchus between November 29 and December 18which is why some people are saying that Ophiuchus is a new astrological sign.

2.Although Ophiuchus is a real constellation with a real mythological history, it’s not the 13th sign of the zodiac unless you want it to be. The uproar about a 13th sign started because of a blog post for kids published by NASA back in January that discusses the differences between astrology and astronomy. The post points out that the astrological calendar created by the Babylonians no longer fits with the way the stars are aligned with Earth, but that doesn't mean that it is part of the zodiac. The Babylonians just didn't add it into their calendar so it isn't considered it a "New Zodiac Sign"


Before you post things like this, for the love of god get your facts right then post it. It's so annoying when people post things with the wrong information.

I have read many articles and books about astrology and this is not true, there is a constellation in the zodiac belt but it is not officially in the charts and will not change anything, its completely untrue and doesn't change anything.

I honestly don't know anymore. I read about Ophiuchus in an article for kids from NASA. I'm just going off of what that said

The Babylonian calendar was based off of 12 of the 13 zodiac constellations because they had a 12 month calendar. They left Ophiuchus out because it would not fit with their calendar year and it's setup. NASA recently discovered this... hope this helps
