Ophiuchus: The Missing Star Sign. November 30 - Dec 17.

By Rebecca De Carlo


Ophiuchus (off-ee-yoo-kuhs) is the thirteenth Sun sign that has been known since ancient times by various names to many cultures across the world, but left out of mainstream astrology.

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.

As we reach for our highest potential as Spiritual and Physical beings, Ophiuchus is now being observed and included. Like all signs, it has positive and negative aspects - the qualities that move us forward and qualities that hinder us. Potentially, Ophiuchus is a sign that we can all to move into, living at this time where many people all over the world have achieved, and are achieving, awakening, enlightenment, and all forms of higher spiritual learning.

Positive traits include powerful wills and emotions, charisma, intelligence, sex appeal, natural leadership and have physical and mental strength. They are capable of living surrounded by stressful conditions and when positively focused can work consistently without any need of rest.

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.
