Technically, Ophiuchus is not a zodiacal sign in "Western" astrology due to a historical system in which 12 signs divided equally into 30 degrees each are vital. At present, the Sun is in Ophiuchus from November 30 to December 17.

However, I give you Ophiuchus, the Serpent Bearer:

In fact, Ophiuchus is a Sun-sign in the Real Solar Zodiac, i.e. the Sun can be seen against the stars of Ophiuchus between 30th November and 17th December each year. [The dates of the cusps move a little from one year to the next, so sometimes they are quoted as 1st December to 18th December.] Aquarius, the Water Carrier, is the actual 13th, and last, sign of the Real Solar Zodiac.

So why isn't Ophiucus in the Commonly-Used Western Zodiac?
Ophiuchus is a Sun-sign. The Moon and planets all are seen against the stars of Ophiuchus. Unfortunately, the answer to the question is that Ophiuchus isn't in the Tropical Zodiac not because there is something wrong with Ophiuchus but because there is something wrong with the Tropical Zodiac. The Tropical Zodiac is an inaccurate oversimplification of the heavens dating from a time when we did not have telescopes or computers. Follow the Zodiac Wheels link for a description of the history of the Zodiacs.
According to this; the properties of the Serpent Bearer are:
interpreter of dreams, vivid premonitions,
attracts good luck and fruitful blessings,
serpent holder, lofty ideals,
a seeker of peace and harmony,
doctor of medicine or science, natural-pathic,
adds, increases, joins, or gathers together
poetical, inventive nature, expanding qualities,
seeks higher education and wisdom,
overseer, supervisor of work,
fame - either grand, or completely misunderstood,
longevity, aspirations of healing the ills of man,
architect, builder, reaches for the stars, figuratively and literally,
tax assessor, or levys taxes,
astrological talents, intuitive,
large family indicated, but apt to be separated from them when young,
the number twelve holds great significance,
foresight and good fortune to benefit from hard times,
has secret enemies in family or close associations,
many jealous of this subject,
notable father, apple of father's eye when young,
high position in life expected [depending on aspects] highest fame and legend comes after death
feelings of granular, wise, genius mentality,
likes to wear clothing of vibrant colors, and plaids in particular,
receives the favor of those in authority.
So the Astrological Chart should look something like this:

Sun Sign Meaning Dates
01: Pisces the Fishes 12 Mar to 18 Apr
02: Aries the Ram 19 Apr to 13 May
03: Taurus the Bull 14 May to 19 Jun
04: Gemini the Twins 20 Jun to 20 Jul
05: Cancer the Crab 21 Jul to 9 Aug
06: Leo the Lion 10 Aug to 15 Sep
07: Virgo the Maiden 16 Sep to 30 Oct
08: Libra the Scales 31 Oct to 22 Nov
09: Scorpius the Scorpion 23 Nov to 29 Nov
10: Ophiuchus the Serpent Bearer 30 Nov to 17 Dec
11 Sagittarius the Archer 18 Dec to 18 Jan
12: Capricornus the Sea Goat 19 Jan to 15 Feb
13: Aquarius the Water Carrier 16 Feb to 11 Mar

So...what's your sign?

1) Signs are meaningless.

2) Your dates for the signs are wrong.

You won't believe how shocked I was when the end of your post didn't try to sell me nike sneakers and authentic gold watches.

Oisterboy · 11-05-2010, 10:14 PM

According to this I'm the Ram, but the year I was born it was different and I was born as a Bull.

Bull and Ram. No wonder I'm so stubborn.

Does believing in these signs and stuff make you feel better?

Just a normal question

.

Oisterboy · 11-05-2010, 10:30 PM

Personally, I don't look into them or read them at all, ever. But, I think its cool that people enjoy following them. The world doesn't have enough magic, believing in a little bit of hocus pokus keeps you young.

Believing in a LOT of hocus pokus keeps you eternally young.

TheSkald · 11-05-2010, 10:36 PM

Capricornus the Sea Goat.

Lol awesome.

Every time I look into a damned horoscope it says: 'you will have luck with finding a partner'.

I still didn't find one.
