13th zodiac - the serpent bearer
    #5874402 - 07/18/06 05:59 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

I came across a few books recently that tried to explain that there is a 13th zodiac, and many people who believe they are gemini (including me) may actually be Ophiuchus.

http://www.griffithobs.org/SkyOphiuchus.html

Quote:

If asked, most people would say that a "Gemini" is a person who was born when the sun was in front of the stars of the constellation Gemini the twins. That might have been true about 2,600 years ago, but it isn't today-for two reasons.

First, when the astrological sun sign system was set up more than two thousand years ago, the sun's path was divided into twelve equally spaced "signs," each 30 degrees wide, and these signs only approximately coincided with the constellations. Cancer, for example, is a small constellation, and Pisces is huge, but both are accorded onetwelfth of the sun's annual path. The constellation Cancer -- which is made of stars - never coincided exactly with the sign of Cancer -- which is a 30 degree wide zone along the sun's path. And each astronomer/astrologer had his own idea of where the constellation Cancer began and ended, and even of how many constellations there were.




now i do understand this only applies to western-astrology (right?) and not vedic or others.

can anyone explain this to a non-astrology major?  :confused:

I posted about this hur awhile back.

The movie The Great Year explains it all very well...
