Over the past few years, more and more often from astrologers and people close to astrology, the mysterious phrase "the new 13th sign of the zodiac Ophiuchus" has begun to sound. Who is this mysterious man? What month of the year belongs to it and what kind of people are born under this constellation?

Ophiuchus is the thirteenth sign of the zodiac of the eastern calendar: history and facts

In fact, the thirteenth sign of the zodiac has become news only for those who have never been fond of astrology. This constellation has been known since antiquity. However, why they started talking about it today can be explained very simply. In those days when the zodiac circle was formed, astronomers could only see the largest, clearly visible constellations. They were given the names. Therefore, we can say that zodiac signs are only conditionally tied to their names.

In 1931, the question arose of the narrowing of the thirteenth sign of the zodiac

In the early 19th century, the International Astronomical Union changed the concept of "constellation", giving it a new definition. Since that time, the sector corresponding to the parallels and meridians of the sky began to be called a constellation.

In 1931, it was found that there are 88 officially registered constellations with clear border lines. In the same year, it was determined that the circle along which the sun moves (the line of the ecliptic) crosses the constellation Ophiuchus. Since then, the question has arisen of how many signs of the zodiac - 12 or 13 in the eastern horoscope?

As a result new vos accurate horoscope now looks like this:

• from 19.01. to 15.02. - Capricorn zodiac sign
• from 16.02 to 11.03. - zodiac sign Aquarius,
• from 12.03. to 18 04. - zodiac sign Pisces,
• from 19.04. May 13 - Aries zodiac sign
• from 14.05. to 19.06. - zodiac sign Taurus,
• from 20.06. to 20.07. - Gemini,
• from 21.07. to 09.08. - zodiac sign Cancer,
• from 10.08. to 15.09. - zodiac sign Leo,
• from 16.09. 30 10. - zodiac sign Virgo,
• from 31.10. to 22.11. - Libra,
• from 23.11 to 29.11. - zodiac sign Scorpio,
• from 30.11. to 17.12. - zodiac sign Ophiuchus,
• from 18.12. to 18.01. - zodiac sign Sagittarius.

Now it becomes clear between which signs the constellation Ophiuchus is located - Scorpio and Sagittarius. If in the old eastern calendar the period of time allotted to each constellation was approximately 30 days, now there has been a significant shift in the signs of the zodiac. Accordingly, some signs have a greater influence on a person’s character, while others reduce their effect.

General characteristics of Ophiuchus

If earlier Scorpio was considered the most mystical and mysterious sign of the zodiac of the eastern horoscope, now Ophiuchus has taken the palm. Astrologers are sure that someone whose date of birth during the reign of the 13th sign of the zodiac Ophiuchus, there may be several fates. These people are able to be reborn and reborn from the ashes like the mythical Phoenix bird. They are not afraid to radically change their lives, and with it their worldview and hobbies. They are attracted to everything mysterious, inexplicable and mystical.

In Ophiuchus, character traits of neighboring signs of the zodiac - Scorpio and Sagittarius - are intertwined. These people are practically incapable of fear, maintain composure and equanimity even in the most dangerous life situations. They are romantics, adventurers and travelers. They love the company of strangers and everything that excites the blood and gives extra adrenaline. The concept of a quiet family haven is unfamiliar and unacceptable to them.

The main characteristics of Ophiuchus are as follows:

• The sign refers to the element of water.
• The symbol is a man with a snake on his shoulder.
• The lucky number of the sign is 12.
• The main colors are red, purple, scarlet.
• Talisman stone - minerals of the apatite group.

Characteristics of the male Ophiuchus: a knight in brilliant armor or a sad image?

Ophiuchus Man called to bring goodness and justice to this world. They are born with a special purpose - they try to give others happiness and be useful to them. It is customary for men born under this constellation to sacrifice themselves for an important goal. Even if this is not their desire, but the one who asked for help. For many people, such behavior causes surprise and condemnation, for the rest, respect.

The main feature of Ophiuchus men is that very often, radically changing their lives, they destroy everything that was built before and to which they made every effort

However, after a short period of time, new shoots of success and prosperity appear in place of the “ruins” of the past life. Next to these people everything is always simple and easy.. They are not fixated on problems, and especially do not like to impose their difficulties on others.

Extremes are the basic principle of life, which guides the representatives of this zodiac sign. An Ophiuchus man in love can be the most charming person in the world. However, it is worth hurting his pride, and you will see how he changes before our eyes, becoming a merciless and cunning enemy.

A woman who has met a male Ophiuchus on her life path will be crazy about such a gentleman, partner and spouse. This romantic hero rush for the lady of the heart to the embrasure than finally conquer the partner. Most of the daring heroes, ardent lovers and desperate warriors created by the imagination of writers and poets completely copy the behavior and views on the life of the Ophiuchus man. Therefore, any girl can fall in love with a man with such a big and generous heart for emotions.

With regard to courting a lady, the Ophiuchus man simply has no equal. Most women do not even imagine the ways that the men of this constellation use in order to conquer the girl they like.

If it is very necessary, they will get the stars from the sky and put it at the feet of their beloved

For them, there are no barriers to the lady's favor. Any whim and whim beloved will be fulfilled exactly.

The only thing grieves in the Ophiuchus man - his inconstancy. He is incapable of long term relationship, the monotony of which is simply depressing. As soon as he realizes that the girl has already read a book for him and will not be able to give him anything new, he will definitely leave the lady hopelessly in love with him. Women for the male Ophiuchus are an object of conquest, and he is no longer interested in trophies.

The same can be said about marriage relationships. If a woman managed to lure the Ophiuchus man down the aisle, then she definitely will not receive an obedient and attentive husband. Marriage for a man of this zodiac sign is bondage. And from captivity you need to escape. Therefore, there can be no talk of any romantic relationships in marriage or mutual understanding.

Characteristics of the Ophiuchus woman: a magical fairy or an impregnable queen?

To be born under the sign of the zodiac Ophiuchus can already be considered good luck. The Ophiuchus girl never follows the foundations of society, the laws of fashion and style. She always has her own point of view and opinion on everything. However, she is a born altruist who always puts the problems and needs of others first. The more impregnable the mountain of problems in front of her, the more she tries to overcome it.

The fate of the lady of this constellation is simply impossible to predict. It can change several times in a lifetime

A man who is next to her, with the same degree of probability, can become both the happiest in the world and the most unhappy. The behavior of this woman is equally unpredictable. You have just talked with a sweet, friendly young lady, and now you are already sitting in front of you. a lady with a cold, absent look and harsh judgments.

In love, the Ophiuchus woman is passionate, but fickle. She is not attracted by the prospect of staying with one partner for a long time. Simply because over time she recognizes a person, and he becomes uninteresting to her. However, at the time of love she is ready to give her life for her beloved. She can have several lovers at the same time and this fact does not bother her at all.

Even with zodiac signs suitable for the horoscope, the Ophiuchus woman can hardly create a cozy family nest. And if peace and prosperity already reign in the family, you should not rejoice, a lady with the same zeal will destroy relationships, leaving no stone unturned where she had previously made every effort to create. Very often this happens when family problems stand in the way of an active and enthusiastic career of an Ophiuchus woman.

To avoid such a result, A man needs to pay more attention to his partner. For example, more often bring it to light or devote free time to joint sports, art, or another common hobby.

Rather, it wise and prudent mother-snake, giving protection, support, attention, care and all possible spiritual warmth to the offspring.

The compatibility of Ophiuchus with other signs of the zodiac is determined solely at the level of feelings and emotions. If the Ophiuchus man experiences a strong emotional and physical attraction to a partner, he burns with passion, completely forgetting that people are different, everyone has their own character traits, which in ordinary life may not be very attractive for a person of this zodiac sign.

The main problem of Ophiuchus is that they consider themselves perfect people who, for some unknown reason, ended up in this imperfect world.

It is believed that the signs of the Zodiac are not 12, but 13, including Ophiuchus at the junction of Scorpio and Sagittarius. Some astrologers claim that there are 24 of them: in addition to those familiar to us, there are 12 more signs of the Upper Zodiac. People born under the auspices of the signs of the Upper Zodiac often have phenomenal abilities from birth. Says astropsychologist Lydia Nevedomskaya.

The upper zodiac circle in professional astrology is superimposed on the "ordinary" zodiac and, as it were, connects the end of a period under the influence of one sign with the beginning of the next. In addition to Ophiuchus, it includes the Clock, Whale, Hunter, Ship, Chariot, Knight, Shepherd, Raven, Tree, Sphinx and Pegasus.

However, it is no coincidence that I do not name specific dates. After all, only one can consider himself born under one or another constellation of the Upper zodiac circle, in whose horoscope there is a cluster of luminaries and planets in any of these signs, and such coincidences of celestial circumstances do not happen every year ... Probably, you have met people who can’t really say whether they are Capricorns or Aquarius, Leo or Virgo, as they find in themselves features that are not characteristic of “their” zodiac sign. It is possible that they were born under "additional" signs, but they themselves do not suspect it!

Meanwhile, individuals under the auspices of the signs of the Upper Zodiac often have special, phenomenal data from birth. Let's take a closer look at them.

Those born under the sign Hours (end of Pisces and beginning of Aries), have the opportunity to start from scratch at any time. Agree, not everyone is able to cross out their previous life at once and do a completely new business for themselves or leave their former marriage partner and find a more suitable one ... The stars present this gift to you!

born under the sign Whale (end of Aries - beginning of Taurus) have great power to influence those around them. These charismatic personalities are simply created for power! Let us recall at least Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, who was born on April 22 and, thus, is a Taurus Whale ...

born under the sign Hunter (end of Taurus - beginning of Gemini) stars bestow great potential, but at the same time, Hunters are always at a crossroads and are forced to constantly choose a further direction in life.

Born under the sign Ship (the end of Gemini - the beginning of Cancer) endowed with a sense of an invisible distant goal. The stars help them overcome any obstacles on the way to it, including illusions and fears.

People born under the sign Chariots (the end of Cancer - the beginning of Leo), they are able to do many things at the same time and are constantly in the process of learning the world, and also carry their knowledge to others.

Those born under the sign Knight (the end of Leo - the beginning of Virgo), as a rule, they follow their mission and duty - they are truly knights without fear and reproach.

born under the sign Shepherd (end of Virgo - beginning of Libra) have the gift of leading those around them. However, it is not certain that this person will lead them exactly where they need to go. For example, following him, you can easily become a victim of some scam.

Those who were born under the sign Crow (end of Libra - beginning of Scorpio), have the power to free those around them from filth. They make excellent educators of difficult children or workers in rehabilitation centers.

Born under the sign of the notorious Ophiuchus (end of Scorpio - beginning of Sagittarius) endowed with the gift to break out of the endless cycle of time and conquer their karma. Ophiuchus is credited with a lot of mystery, they are usually talented, and also prone to occult and mystical activities.

born under the sign Tree (end of Sagittarius - beginning of Capricorn) often choose activities related to the unification of different cultures and the preservation of their best achievements, selection work. They are suitable for work in a museum or in some cultural organization.

Those born under the sign Sphinx (end of Capricorn - start of Aquarius), often possess the gift of foresight, as a rule, with a tragic connotation: they

They foresee impending fatal circumstances and therefore can be naturally gloomy and gloomy.

born under the sign Pegasus (end of Aquarius - beginning of Pisces) prone to bold creativity, the stars endow them with a thirst for penetration into the secrets of the universe. They can make brilliant artists, writers, scientists, composers.

You can find out if your fate is marked by the "upper" zodiac signs by looking at some free astro site and displaying the location of the planets in the zodiac circle on the day you were born. If at your birth the Sun, in the company of two more planets, was at the very beginning or at the very end of any of the signs of the “usual” Zodiac (at a distance of up to 7 ° from the border of the sign), then you have a real chance to come into contact in your life with secrets of the Upper Zodiac.

I’ll start right away with the most important and simple language.

- Twelve.
- Why?
- A-priory.

Zodiac signs always 12 . Nothing more and nothing less. Neither 11, nor 13, nor 14, nor 53. There are exactly 12 of them: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces. There are no others and there cannot be. Just a-priory, Signs of the Zodiac are 12 equal sectors of the celestial sphere, 30 degrees each. The sign of Aries, first in order, is counted from the point spring equinox.

Zodiac signs are a symbolic concept. Conditionality. The same convention as, for example, "straight line" in geometry, "material point" in physics or "June" in the calendar. This convention does not exist in nature in an explicit form, it is only in the head of a person as a fundamental concept. Why? Convenient to use! That's why I got used to it. And the concept of the signs of the Zodiac was formed hundreds and hundreds of years ago. Why there are 12 of them, to explain for a long time. But this number is not taken from the ceiling. In short: 12 is an ideal number that has spiritual roots. These are 3 ways of creation (exodus, consolidation and return) manifested in 4 elements (types of matter - in Fire, Earth, Air and Water). Our entire world is built according to the divine plan, based on the numbers 7 (=3+4) and 12 (=3X4).

So, there are always 12 signs of the Zodiac and only 12.

There is another concept of celestial mechanics - constellations. Attention! This is where the confusion begins, which alarmed everyone. Constellations are groups of randomly scattered stars in the sky, which make up different shapes that are spectacular to the observer at night. Constellations are not the same as the signs of the zodiac.

Everyone sees something different in the figures of the constellations. There is no single vision. For example, you are more likely to see a ladle with a handle than the so-called Big Dipper in a group of stars, which among the Evenks was considered an elk, among the Kazakhs a group of robbers, and among the Greeks either a chariot or a shell. There was also no single point of view on how to properly “cut” the sky into constellation sections. Scientists agreed, by historical standards, quite recently - only at the beginning of the 20th century - dividing the celestial sphere into 88 constellations. That is - attention! - constellations are also a convention. And even younger than the signs of the zodiac. It is the result of a collusion by a group of individuals called the "1st General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union." For scientific convenience. But this division of the celestial sphere into 88 constellations is not a fundamental, axiomatic concept, it (purely theoretically) can change.

Each of the Constellations has a different extent in the sky. There are big ones, there are smaller ones. There are those against the background of which the Sun passes for an earthly observer during the year. They are called "zodiac" constellations. On this moment There are 13 constellations of the zodiac - twelve of them have the same names as the names of the signs of the Zodiac. And the insidious Ophiuchus that everyone is talking about now completes the damn dozen. More precisely, not just Ophiuchus, but the constellation Ophiuchus. Constellation. There is no sign of Ophiuchus. There is a constellation, but there is no sign.

There can be as many constellations as you like (as you divide the celestial sphere, so be it). And there were, are and will be 12 signs of the Zodiac. By definition.

So, the Signs of the Zodiac are not equal to the zodiac constellations. Not in number, not in appearance, not in meaning. Only the names match.

In the same way as the concept of "Indian summer" has nothing to do with the calendar summer, although the word sounds the same there and here.

It is this fact (the discrepancy between the signs of the Zodiac and the zodiac constellations) that modern scientists are trying to blame astrologers - “They do not match! You don't work like that! And still strive to determine the fate! Yes, Aquarius has long become Capricorn, and Virgo is Leo ... And there is also Ophiuchus. And so on. Remember, please, astrologers are based primarily on the signs of the Zodiac, and there are always 12 and only 12 signs. I apologize to the readers for these repetitions. I do them on purpose. I hope that if someone does not understand, then at least remember.

Fortunately, not all astronomers are as illiterate as they appear after publications in the press. Most understand that we are talking about different concepts. The authors of articles get confused more often. Of course, the signs of the zodiac are associated with the zodiac constellations of the same name. That is why they are called the same. There is a certain relationship between them, which lies in the history of the development of astronomy and astrology. But now this connection is not direct. As between "summer" and "Indian summer" there is a certain semantic connection (warmth), but the concepts themselves differ.

The calendar that is convenient and familiar to all of us, in comparison with the changeable weather, perfectly shows the essence of such a conflict of concepts. The calendar winter always comes on December 1, although frost does not necessarily occur on this day. And on March 1, the calendar spring comes, although streams rarely flow on this particular date. “Why do we use such a stupid calendar, because it does not coincide with the weather and nature?” some scientists might also ask. But they do not ask, because the calendar is very convenient. It is convenient to understand that your child will begin academic year exactly September 1, and not “when the fifth leaf falls from the tree” (God knows when this will happen!). It is convenient to plan a vacation for the exact date of July 25, and not for the day “when the heat finally comes and discounts from tour operators.” The calendar is convenient because it is a clear and measured division of time. By analogy, the signs of the Zodiac are very convenient for orientation and forecasts, because each sign “lasts” always about 30 days. Unlike constellations.

“But they also say ... They say that the Signs of the Zodiac are now shifted relative to the constellations ... And therefore astrology does not work ... Is this true?” No, this is a lie. Brash and outspoken. Because not "now", but "always". More precisely, we can say that the signs of the Zodiac NEVER coincided with the constellations. Because the constellations have always had different lengths, and the signs have always been, are and will be 30 degrees each. Why? Yes, by definition!

Just sometimes, about 1 time in 26,000 years, the vernal equinox point, from which the first sign of the Zodiac Aries is counted, coincides with the beginning of the constellation Aries. And the rest of the time remaining from these 26,000 years, the vernal equinox against the background of the stars, as it were, “creeps” clockwise, moves very slowly until it completes the next complete revolution. This phenomenon is called "precession" - the precession of the equinoxes. The coincidence of the beginning of the sign Aries with the beginning of the constellation Aries is theoretically pleasant, but in fact it does not change anything. Imagine that the whole of May was cold and rainy, and on June 1 it was warm. Nice. But it doesn't matter. Even if the heat had not come, the children would still have gone on vacation.

The last time TBP coincided with the beginning of the constellation Aries around the Nativity of Christ, this fact gave reason to announce the possibility of the coming of the Messiah once every 26,000 years. I can’t say anything concrete about this - the date of the Nativity of Christ, apparently, is also a historical convention. And I have not heard anything about the coming of other Messiahs. Now TVR is “hanging out” somewhere in the region of the beginning of the Pisces constellation.

Outcome:
How many zodiac signs are there?
“Twelve and only twelve.
- Why?
- A-priory.
— And what about the sign of Ophiuchus?
- He is not. Does not exist. There is the constellation "Ophiuchus", which will become a sign of the Zodiac only when Cancer whistles on the mountain and "Indian summer" is officially added to the list of seasons. That is, never.

And so for now, for you personally, dear reader, nothing changes.

How many signs of the zodiac Total? Some argue that 12, others insist on the number 13, and still others claim that there are 24 at all. So who is right? Let's try to figure it out.

In general, it is generally accepted that there are only twelve signs of the zodiac. They were simply divided according to the number of months in a year. For the convenience of the account, so to speak. But the thirteenth sign still exists and its name is Ophiuchus. He, in theory, is between Scorpio and Sagittarius, but somehow this sign was guilty before astrologers, and they simply removed it from the zodiac circle. If you take into account Ophiuchus, when compiling horoscopes, then they will not be entirely correct and accurate.

After all, it is not without reason that many who were born at the junction, for example, of the actions of the signs Aquarius and Pisces, feel the influence of Aquarius, and not Pisces, although the date of birth comes during the reign of the second sign. This Ophiuchus is joking. After all, if justice is restored and introduced into the zodiac circle, then all general characteristics signs of the zodiac will disappear. And Pisces born in mid-March will become Aries, Aries born in mid-April will become Taurus, and so on - according to the list.

Some astrologers know exactly the answer to the question " How many signs of the zodiac? They'll say 24, and they'll be right. Indeed, in addition to the main zodiac circle, there is also the Upper Zodiac. It is simply, as it were, “superimposed” on a typical Zodiac, connecting the periods of action of certain signs. That is, for example, the sign of the Zodiac Whale: the end of the action of Aries and the beginning of the action of Taurus. Or the sign of the Zodiac Knight: the end of the action of Leo and the beginning of the action of Virgo.

It is impossible to determine belonging without astrological methods and techniques specific person to the upper zodiac circle. Because at the time of his birth, some significant event should have occurred in the sky: either a parade of planets, or a cluster of stars in the zodiac constellation, or a comet flying over planet Earth. And such grandiose galactic events do not happen every year.

A person born under a lucky star, or rather, under their cluster, is incredibly talented and endowed with superpowers. That is why people born under the same zodiac constellation in the classical sense, have common features character, but they are completely different. It all depends not only on the date of birth, but on the second in which a person was born.

All those born at the junction of Pisces and Aries can start all over again, crossing out their whole life in one fell swoop. This property gave them the sign of the Upper Zodiac Hours. The Hunter sign is inherent in those who were born at the junction of Taurus and Gemini. These people have a powerful potential, and they do not even know about it. Sign Ship - moored between Gemini and Cancer. Its representatives always strive for the cherished goal and will definitely achieve it. The sign of the Sphinx (Capricorn-Aquarius) gives the gift of foresight to all those born under it. These are just some examples of what the signs of the Upper Zodiac represent.

In general, opinions are divided. AND how many signs of the zodiac in fact, no one knows for sure. No, of course they know, but they cannot come to a common denominator. If you need a detailed, accurate horoscope, then only a professional astrologer can make it, taking into account the signs of the Upper Zodiac. But the majority is content with general forecasts based on the classical Zodiac.

Since ancient times, mankind has been observing celestial bodies. Even in those distant times, astronomers noticed that the Sun passes through 12 constellations during the year, named after real or mythical creatures.

This circle was called the belt of the Zodiac, or zodiakos, which in Greek means "circle of living beings", or "animal circle". If we calculate how many signs of the zodiac the Sun overcomes during this period, it will turn out exactly 12. The modern horoscope has the same number.

The number of signs in various horoscopes

The number of constellations in the zodiac belt at different times ranged from 8 (in the proto-Indian Zodiac, about three thousand years BC) to 36 (in ancient Egypt). The zodiac, consisting of 12 sectors, was first introduced back in the fifth century BC by Euctemon, an Athenian astronomer. The zodiac introduced by Euctaemon was based on the points of the solstices and equinoxes. The year according to the calendar of the Athenian astronomer began on the day of the summer solstice.

Around 400 B.C. e. The Babylonians introduced the Zodiac, which also has 12 signs. The number 12 corresponded to the phases of the moon, the number of which in a solar year is 12.

In modern astronomy, the Zodiac is adopted, also consisting of 12 names:

The zodiac year begins on the day of the spring equinox. And therefore, all modern horoscopes begin their prediction with Aries, since the Sun is in it during this period.

Symbolic designation of the zodiac circle

lovers astrological forecasts it should be known that the names in the zodiac belt correspond to the names of the constellations. Each of them is assigned a symbolic designation of the signs of the zodiac, basically displaying the creature or object after which the constellation is named. All constellations, if you believe ancient Greek mythology, have appeared since light hand gods, perpetuating their exploits and the great events of those times.

The influence of zodiac signs on a person

Modern astrology knows that people born under the same zodiac symbol have similar temperaments, abilities, tastes. Knowing the exact coordinates of the birth, you can even describe what the signs of the zodiac look like, what talents they have, what health features, shortcomings and even fears they have - the influence of celestial bodies on humanity is so strong.

However, it is often found that representatives of the same sign have strong differences in the qualities of character and external data. This is due to the fact that many other factors also influence the human essence.

A horoscope is a forecast for a zodiac sign for a certain period of time, for example, for a week, month, year. The prediction is made taking into account the location of all celestial bodies visible from a given geographical point on the Earth in a certain time period. It can be planets, stars and even asteroids. The value of the horoscope with different arrangements of celestial bodies will differ significantly.

patronage of celestial bodies

It is believed that everyone zodiac sign patronizes a certain heavenly body and in some cases two. Patrons endow people in each sign with special qualities..

Four forces

Considering more deeply the question of what are the signs of the zodiac, it is worth noting that these 12 symbols of the astrological circle correspond to the four elements: fire, air, water and earth. It is believed that people born under signs belonging to the same element have similar temperaments, characters, preferences and inclinations. Each element, respectively, patronizes the three zodiac signs.

• Aries, Leo and Sagittarius belong to the element of Fire
• Gemini, Libra and Aquarius are Air signs
• Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces belong to the element of Water
• Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn under the auspices of the Earth

Astrologers claim that people belonging to the same element are more disposed to each other, have more chances for fruitful relationships than people whose signs belong to different elements.

For any person, you can make an individual horoscope, knowing the exact time and geographical coordinates of his birth. Such a forecast will show in which area it is better to look for your vocation; what to stay away from; which days are favorable for solving financial issues, and which are better left for romance; what to pay attention to when taking care of your health, and will also help you find answers to many other questions of everyday life.
