Is there a thirteenth constellation and what is the thirteenth constellation?

For the long-circulated thirteenth constellation, many friends are on the sidelines or skeptical: does Ophiuchus really exist? What is the basis for its existence?

Today, with a cautious attitude, I have collected some information about the existence of the thirteen zodiac signs, hoping to satisfy the curiosity of friends!

Ophiuchus. First of all, do you know that since the constellations you belong to are located above the path of the sun in the sky (there are twelve constellations), they are collectively called the zodiac signs?

In fact, there are a total of eighty-eight constellations in the entire celestial sphere. In the zodiac, in addition to the familiar zodiac signs, there is another zodiac sign - that is, Ophiuchus. But Ophiuchus occupies only a small part of the actual position of the ecliptic, unlike the other twelve constellations, which are almost all contained in the ecliptic.

Therefore, it was often ignored in pre-astrology.

However, due to the oscillation of the Earth's axis in a cycle of 26,000 years, the movement of the solar system, and the movement of the stars themselves, the position of the ecliptic in the sky has also changed. Every 2,000 years, the arrival of the Sun in a particular house is delayed by about a month.

Thus the zodiac now crosses not only the twelve constellations, but also the thirteenth constellation, Ophiuchus. Ophiuchus becomes a member of the "thirteenth house" of the zodiac!

It is also recorded in scientific data: there is a British astronomer who found that there are always some errors in time every year when observing the changes of the stars, and if this goes on for a long time, the time error will become larger and larger, so a new constellation was born - that is, Ophiuchus!

Ophiuchus is also astronomically real: Ophiuchus is one of the equatorial constellations, located south of the constellation Hercules, north of Scorpio and Capricorn, and west of the Milky Way as seen from Earth. Ophiuchus is the only sign of the zodiac that is connected to another sign, Serpentus, and is also the only sign that straddles both the celestial equator, the galactic and the ecliptic.

Ophiuchus is large and wide, rectangular in shape, and the celestial equator passes diagonally through this rectangle. Although the Milky Way traversed by Ophiuchus is short, the central direction of the Milky Way is within Capricorn, not far from the constellation Ophiuchus.

Although the zodiac passes through Ophiuchus, Ophiuchus does not belong to the zodiacal constellation. Every year on November 29, the Sun passes through the constellation Ophiuchus until it enters Capricorn on December 17. There is no solar term point on the zodiac, but there is a heavy snow solar term point in Ophiuchus.

In addition, in fact, "Ophiuchus" is not a new discovery, it has been recorded in poetry since 270 AD! So why has Ophiuchus never been included in the horoscope?

Legend has it that in ancient times, the folk believed that the people of Ophiuchus represented disaster (just like the broom star), thus violating the bottom line of the Holy See, so the Holy See sealed this unlucky constellation.

I don't know if you believe in the existence of the thirteen constellations? Anyway, I believe it!

Yes, it's called Ophiuchus. (Ophiuchus is November 30-December 17.) The path that the sun travels throughout the year is called the "ecliptic."

The twelve constellations in astrology refer to the twelve constellations through which the sun passes on the ecliptic, which originated in the Babylonian period 3,000 years ago. However, because of the "precession", the zodiac gradually moves westward, and on average, the corresponding date of the birthday sign will be one day different on average, so Ophiuchus was born.

Ophiuchus represents meaning.

Ophiuchus represents the courage and perseverance to declare war on death and will not be easily defeated. Ophiuchus has a temperamental, steady, and strict standards for right and wrong. In addition, Ophiuchus is a person with his own ideals and goals, so he will move towards challenges and have a strong motivation.

Is there a thirteenth constellation? I haven't heard of thirteen zodiac signs, only twelve zodiac signs, and since there are only twelve months, there are twelve zodiac signs.

Oh no, there is no 13th zodiac sign in the world, only 12 zodiac signs, oh.

There are 12 constellations.

There is the thirteenth constellation. Ophiuchus.

Ophiuchus' biggest personality trait is tangled, because Ophiuchus is a combination of Ophiuchus and Megasnake and a tangled constellation, so Ophiuchus' personality should be the most tangled of the thirteen zodiac signs. For example, it is like a snake man and a serpent, switching back and forth between sensuality and reason, and different emotions dominate at different times. Sometimes passionate, sometimes indifferent.

In fact, this is why Ophiuchus looks like both a Scorpio and a Sagittarius. In fact, no matter which zodiac sign you prefer more, Ophiuchus always has its own characteristics.

Ophiuchus is located between Sagittarius and Scorpio, so the advantages and disadvantages of these two signs in all aspects are inherited by Ophiuchus, a star on the sole of Ophiuchus just belongs to the end of Scorpio's tail, so Scorpio's personality occupies a dominant position, mainly in the face of calm thinking, more delicate mind, but occasionally cold and mysterious. But at the same time, the Sagittarius' passion, vision and perseverance are also vividly reflected in Ophiuchus.

Ophiuchus don't like to cause trouble or trouble to others, so most of the time Ophiuchus takes everything silently on their own. They will only show their sunny and enthusiastic side to the people around them, and hide their negative side. But in fact, it is easy for others to think that he is a person with a dark belly and a deep city.

There is a paradox that Scorpio is a low-key person, so when there is something to be happy to show off, Ophiuchus will choose to hide; But when the people around them notice it, Ophiuchus will feel very proud. This is the embodiment of the contradictory personality of the Scorpio and Sagittarius zodiac signs combined.

Ophiuchus's entanglement is not only reflected in this, they are not the kind of zodiac sign that will easily let those around them see through their hearts, so it is always difficult for those around them to understand his point accurately.

Due to the changes in the Earth's axis, the movement of the solar system, and the movement of the stars themselves, the position of the zodiac constellations today is very different from 1,500 years ago, so the original 12 constellations have become 13 constellations. The thirteen constellations are Ophiuchus, one of the equatorial constellations, located south of the constellations Hercules, north of Scorpio and Sagittarius, and west of the Milky Way as seen from Earth.

Ophiuchus is the only sign of the zodiac that is connected to another sign, Serpentus, and is also the only sign that straddles both the celestial equator, the galactic and the ecliptic. Despite the short Milky Way that Ophiuchus straddles, the center of the Milky Way is located in the constellation Sagittarius, not far from the constellation Ophiuchus.

From an astrological point of view, the way in which the zodiac signs are divided in astronomy is meaningless for astrology, and the zodiac signs that are now spoken of in astrology are actually only symbolic signs, and do not correspond to the real constellations of the same name. Therefore, no matter whether there are twelve or thirteen zodiac signs in astronomy, and how large or small the constellation range is, it has nothing to do with the constellation system in astrology.

Thus, although Ophiuchus is a sign that actually exists in the universe and is something that is indeed studied in astronomy, in astrology it does not exist.

Of course, there are thirteen zodiac signs, and Ophiuchus is the last one.

The thirteenth zodiac sign is Ophiuchus. Unlike the very broad zodiac signs, there is also Ophiuchus among the thirteen zodiac signs. The 12 constellations that are usually referred to are stupidly shouted that the Babylonian civilization led by Lazhigu divided the sky into constellations at that time.

In the 6th century B.C., the concept of the ecliptic was proposed, which is the circle occupied by the orbit of the earth on the celestial sphere. At that time, the zodiac was distributed with twelve constellations, because the movement of the stars is now distributed on the zodiac with thirteen constellations.

Is there a 13th zodiac sign in this world, and I made a mistake?

There are actually a lot of constellations, more than 12.
