So apparently, I’m an Ophiuchus now. Or so they tell me. I don’t do well with change, and trust me, I don’t like this one bit. I mean I couldn’t even spell Ophiuchus right the first time around. Any way, if you’ve been in and around while this whole thing has been staging itself, then you’ll have probably heard that it’s quite likely that your zodiac sign has changed. Says who, you ask? The experts. They say that the Earth has shifted due to the gravitational pull of the moon and thereby the positions of all the astrological signs have changed further to give rise to new zodiac signs.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, there is now a 13th zodiac sign that has been added to the list of existing signs – the Ophiuchus sign. People who are born in the period of 30th November to 17th December take after this sign, it is said. The Ophiuchus sign is characterized by a man who stands tall with a snake in his hands. It is because of this factor that this sign is also known as a Serpentarius sign. What are the Ophiuchus traits and how did they come to be? That is exactly what we will be studying about in the article that follows.<\/p>\n

The Lore of the Ophiuchus<\/h3>\n

The Ophiuchus sign is based on a real person who lived in ancient Egypt and was called Imhotep. He was also known as Asklepios\/Aesclepius by the Greeks and was the first doctor in history dating back to the 27 BC. The story goes that he once killed a snake which was about to attack him. Immediately after he had struck the snake dead, however, another snake entered the room with a herb in its mouth and revived the fallen snake.<\/p>\n

Asklepios took the herb and thereby began his medical career. But with him reviving dead people back to life, it would mean that all of mankind would become immortal which could not be allowed. And therefore Zeus struck him dead. But honored him by allowing him a place in the stars. The medical profession honors Imhotep with the rod of Asclepius (known as the Caduceus) which has two snakes intertwined around it. This is recognized as the symbol for medicine. The term Ophiuchus literally means ‘serpent’ and ‘holding’ in Greek.<\/p>\n

As a result of this, the Ophiuchus star has always been around they say. The newest zodiac sign falls under the Scorpio and Sagittarius signs and it is said that people who are born between the period November 30 – December 17 fall under the Ophiuchus star and have certain Ophiuchus traits to display. Let us study some of these traits and characteristics in the following paragraphs.<\/p>\n
