zodiac signs..?

Question

what is the thirteenth zodiac sign?

Answer 1

Ophiuchus, the sign of the Serpent Bearer, is the 10th sign of the Real Solar Zodiac.

However, although it lies on the Ecliptic it is not one of the signs of either the Tropical Zodiac of standard Western Astrology, or the Sidereal Zodiac of standard Vedic astrology.

This problem is one of the most contentious issues in modern astrology. I know the subject of Ophiuchus causes us lots of grief as astrologers. But it's up there in the heavens. It exists. We can't ignore it
Ophiuchus is often mistakenly called the 'thirteenth sign of the zodiac' because the sign is thought of as an additional sign to the the twelve Tropical or Sidereal signs.

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.
There is also some information available on the Internet on Cetus, the Whale, describing it as the '14th sign'. This is a confusion of the Real Solar Zodiac and the Planetary Zodiac. The Ecliptic and hence the Sun, as seen from Earth, do not pass through Cetus. However, most of the planets, and the Moon, can be seen occasionally against the stars of Cetus. But this is also true of another 25 signs in the Ptolemaic Planetary Zodiac.

Answer 2

Yes Ophiuchus is a constellation just like the other zodiac signs, but the constellations are simply their to give them names so to speak. Astrologers have known about its existence for over 3000 years, but it does not play apart in the zodiac signs. In fact it's not a zodiac sign at all, if it was the signs would be split very unevenly with scorpio having only 9 days to itself. The signs instead are on the ecliptic line which heavily influences the seasons (in the northern hemisphere that is), like the spring and autumnal equinoxes and the summer and winter solstice and it splits the signs more evenly with this method.
