Ophiuchus November 30 - Dec 17. The 13th Zodiac Sign.

By Rebecca De Carlo


While most aren't aware of thirteenth Sun sign, Ophiuchus (off-ee-yoo-kuhs) it has been recorded since ancient times by different cultures across the planet, though it was called by various names.

As the thirteenth sign, Ophiuchus has no opposite or polarity within the Zodiac, and has come to be associated with the Awakening and Ascension. The Mayans believed that at the end of time, man would awaken the serpent god Kukulcan (also known as Quetzalcoatl to the Aztecs) to save the world from cataclysmic destruction and carry the nine races of man forward.

Ophiuchus represents our highest potential as Spiritual and Physical beings in this age. Just like every sign, Ophiuchus has innate duality -qualities we try to achieve, and traits that can block us reaching these ideals. Ophiuchus is a sign we all have the potential to move into, achieving awakened states, enlightenment and all forms of higher spiritual learning and connection.

A powerful will and emotions, charisma, intelligence, sex appeal, innate leadership abilities, physical and mental strength are positive traits found in Ophiuchans. Once focused, they can work without stopping for days without needing rest and they have the capacity to live within very stressful conditions.

In the negative Ophiuchans can seem a bit fanatical or obsessed about a beloved topic, are quite dramatic, have overly strong emotional reactions to situations causing fallouts in their relationships. Self nurturing is a last priority.
