The13th Zodiac... called Ophiuchus, sometime also referred as Serpentarius mean 'Serpent-Holder.
Dear Reader, do you belief in astrology? in horoscope? Fengshui? Vasusastra? Primbon Jawa? If yes... is the descriptions about you and your caracter match with what you feel or thought?
Certain person said Astrology is the playground of the ignorant and superstitious. But for me... its a way to help understanding ourself. I was late to find out what these all about. If not, sure i'll understand myselft earlier and stop making a messiver to people around me.
The zodiac system was developed in Babylonia, some 2,500 years ago.In astronomy, the zodiac (derived from Greek word=zōdiakos) is the ring of constellations that lines the ecliptic, which is the apparent path of the Sun across the celestial sphere over the course of the year. The paths of the Moon and planets also lie roughly within the ecliptic, and so are also within the constellations of the zodiac. In astrology, the zodiac denotes those signs that divide the ecliptic into twelve equal zones of celestial longitude. As such, the zodiac is a celestial coordinate system, or more specifically an ecliptic coordinate system, taking the ecliptic as the origin of latitude, and the position of the sun at vernal equinox as the origin of longitude.
So far there are two main type of zodiacs. The tropical Zodiac and the Sidereal Zodiac. Tropical Zodiac is based on our relationship to the sun, whose reference points are the tropics that form a ring around the earth. Early astrologer called star signs.
The Sidereal Zodiac one is linked to the constelations of the stars. Taking the current constellation boundaries as defined in 1930 by the International Astronomical Union, the ecliptic passes through an additional thirteenth constellation, Ophiuchus, which situated between Scorpius and Sagittarius. So, by that Ophiuchus referred as 13th zodiac. The symbol of Ophiuchus is a serpent and stick or called 'Serpent-holder". Sometime Ophiuchus was formely known as Serpentarius.
Now, I think the matters is the sign you were born under, not what it is at this moment in time. So. once you born as Taurus... forever will be Taurian and will die as Taurian.
