Your Sign is Lying to You: 5 Shocking Celestial Facts About the Real Zodiac at New Year

The Forgotten Constellation: Ophiuchus

The zodiac as we know it traditionally consists of twelve signs, but there's a thirteenth constellation that often gets left out: Ophiuchus. Situated between Scorpio and Sagittarius, Ophiuchus represents a serpent bearer and was omitted from the zodiac by the Babylonians who preferred a twelve-month calendar. This omission has significant implications for astrology, as the Sun passes through Ophiuchus for about 18 days each year. If you were born between November 29 and December 17, you might actually be an Ophiuchus, not a Sagittarius or Scorpio. This revelation challenges the conventional twelve-sign system and invites a re-evaluation of astrological identities.
