According to Western astrology, there are 12 signs of the zodiac, which literally means the “a circle of animals, but the Sun passes through 13 constellations annually:
the following signs: Aries, Taurus, Gemini (where the Sun is right now), Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Ophiuchus, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.
Unfortunately, astrologers give the inaccurate dates for each star sign in addition to neglecting Ophiuchus. Astrology’s line-of-sight is based on what it claims occurs in the night sky “insights into human emotions and fortunes:

How frequently do zodiac signs shift?
What does that meanyour zodiac sign shifts annually? No, it’s closer to every 30 years. (Thank G, you have some time to think about all of this.) The advanced sun only moves by less than a degree per year, therefore there are 30 degrees in each sign, making this transition extremely gradual, according to Montfar.
Zodiac signsare they true?
Astrology: Is it true? Although reading horoscopes is a well-liked past time, is there any scientific evidence that it has any significance?
When you are lured by a familiar interruption and your willpower wanes, problems may result.
Up to 70 million Americans consult their horoscopes every day. At least that is what the American Federation of Astrologers claims. A Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life research conducted twenty years ago found that 25% of Americans thought that the positions of the stars and planets had an impact on our daily life. According to the General Social Survey from 2012, 34% of Americans asked think astrology is “extremely” or “kind of” scientific. The percentage of those who think astrology is “not at all scientific” has decreased from two-thirds to roughly one-half.
The concept that astronomical phenomena, such as the stars above when you were born or the fact that Mercury is in retrograde, have the ability to affect the daily happenings in our lives and our personality traits is commonly referred to as astrology. The study of astronomy, which is the scientific study of celestial objects, space, and the mechanics of the cosmos, is obviously very different from this.
An element of astrology in particular that is gaining popularity is the ability to predict one’s future or provide advise on daily actions through horoscopes. Horoscope pages had 150 percent more visits in 2017 than in 2016, according to publications like The Cut.
It’s obvious that many individuals are looking for methods of star interpretation. Understanding the locations of the stars, the basis of astrology, seems to be a sufficiently scientific endeavor. But can science support the idea that astrology has an impact on our personalities and our lives?
But since I have you for the remaining five minutes of this six-minute-or-so podcast, let’s examine the precise methods by which astrology has been put to the test.

Ophiuchus refers to what dates?
Some people refer to Ophiuchus the Serpent Bearer as the 13th or forsaken constellation of the zodiac. This is due to the sun’s annual passage through Ophiuchus from roughly November 30 to December 18. Nevertheless, nobody ever claims to have been born while the sun was in Ophiuchus.
How do astrological signs work? The 12-sign tropical zodiac divides the sky into equal-sized, 30-degree sections. Due to this, the sun, for instance, only passes directly in front of each zodiacal sign once every month or so. The sun is in front of the constellations for varied lengths of time; for instance, it is in front of Virgo for approximately 1 1/2 months and Scorpius for approximately one week.
What are constellations in astronomy? The early stargazers identified patterns in the stars, gave them names, and connected them to tales and folklore. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) established the boundaries of recognized constellations at the turn of the 20th century. The constellations come in a wide range of sizes and shapes. The zodiacal constellations are those through which the sun, moon, and planets all move. There have been 12 zodiac constellations for as long as anyone can remember. Their names are roughly equivalent to those of the 12 zodiac signs.
There are 13 constellations in the zodiac if Ophiuchus is included, which also contains the sun for a portion of each year.
Ophiuchus a short hop north of Antares
On these July nights, you can glimpse Ophiuchus the Serpent Bearer. You’ll need a dark sky because the stars are faint. When night falls in the Northern Hemisphere, look for Ophiuchus in the south. Around mid-evening, look more overhead from the Southern Hemisphere.
You can locate Ophiuchus by looking for the bright red star Antares in the constellation Scorpius the Scorpion. A quick hop to the north of Antares will bring you to Ophiuchus.
The head of Ophiuchus is highlighted by the star Rasalhague, a second magnitude star. The Ophiuchus chart below shows Rasalhague. Rasalhague, however, is not even close to Antares’ brightness.
