Have you heard about the 13th zodiac sign? I never knew about this 13th sign, I thought we only have 12 astrological sign or zodiac sign, because we only have 12 months in a year. After visiting blog of Ruhi Shah - Living Life Inside Out, I was surprised about what I got, it's about my zodiac sign! All my life I thought I was a sagittarian like Ruhi! But not, I am OPHIUCHUS the 13th zodiac sign. Let's read what I've learned from her blog.
The constellation, Ophiuchus, has been known since ancient times, and is better known as Serpentarius, the Serpent Holder. It is included in the list of 48 constellations described by Ptolemy. Ophiuchus is depicted as a man handling a serpent; his body dividing the large snake into two parts, giving way to the symbol used today as an Asclepius - the medical staff. Ophiuchus relates to Asclepius, who learned the secrets of keeping death at bay after observing one serpent bringing another healing herbs. To prevent the entire human race from becoming immortal under Asclepius' care, Zeus killed him with a bolt of lightning, but later placed his image in the heavens to honor his good works.
Are you one of us? Born under the sign of Sagittarius? Take a look at the list below if you're really under the right sign. The characteristics of Sagittarius is different at Ophiuchus, if you want to know all about it visit
