Given that Ophiuchus, the 13th zodiac sign that NASA proposed back in 2011, is once again in the spotlight, it makes sense that all of you kids born between November 29 and December 17 are experiencing identity difficulties this week. But if you don’t know how to pronounce Ophiuchus, how on earth can you ask all of your very important inquiries on the matter? I understand your discomfort and am #HereForYou because I recently botched an attempt to say it in front of a complete office. Folks, here it is: Ophiuchus is pronounced “oh-FEW-kuss” or “fijuks,” in plain English. Although it doesn’t quite seem as catchy as “Cancer” or “Taurus,” beggars can’t be choosers when it comes to the time period in which you are born, am I right?
Since NASA first proposed the concept of the “13th zodiac sign” in 2011, it has generated considerable debate, mainly because it caused a significant upheaval for individuals who take astrology seriously and had been keeping track of their own signs. Ophiuchus makes its home right between Scorpio and Sagittarius, yet previously those who fell within its domain exclusively identified as Scorpio or Sagittarius.

Cancers: cruel or kind?
Both positive and negative characteristics apply to Cancer. On the plus side, the Cancer personality is dependable, vigilant, perceptive, and compassionate. On the negative side, Cancers are highly emotional, irritable, and vengeful. Below, we go over each of these characteristics in more detail.
Positive Cancer Traits
We are aware that Cancers are very sentimental, reserved individuals who value their tight relationships with friends and family. However, the Cancer personality is more complex than this.
Here, we discuss the significance of four of the finest Cancer characteristics for crabs.
#1: Loyal
Cancers, as was previously mentioned, can be tough to connect with at first, but once they do, they’ll be loyal to you for the rest of their lives. But don’t expect unwavering loyalty immediately away; it takes a long time to win over a Cancer’s trust.
Cancers are willing to do whatever it takes to care for the people they love, even if it means letting their own morals or sense of justice slide. Part of what makes the Cancer sign one of the most loyal in the zodiac is their high capacity for empathy.
#2: Protective
In addition to being devoted, Cancers are fiercely protective of their loved ones, often to the point of being unreasonable. They value their family and close friends greatly and frequently go above and above to defend them.
Crabs will go to great efforts to preserve their houses and the people who live in them since the Cancer sign is so closely associated with the idea of home. The house is where Cancers feel most at ease, so it is vital that they try to defend it as best they can not only for their loved ones but for themselves as well. This is similar to a paternal instinct (which Crabs also have).
Although at times this protective mentality might be intrusive, it is really committed and comes from a generous heart.
#3: Intuitive
Another essential trait of Cancer is intuition. Due to their high emotional state and capacity to quickly pick up on others’ emotional shifts, crabs frequently rely more on their intuition than on their practical or rational sense of judgment.
It wouldn’t be far-fetched to claim that Cancers are practically psychic because of their exceptional emotional intelligence, which allows them to “read” people. In fact, Cancers use this ability to prevent being duped by others and to increase their sense of security. They possess a special ability that only Cancers possess: the ability to make judgments fast and successfully based solely on their intuition.
The Cancer sign also dislikes things that are forced or false, such small talk and white lies, as a result of this perception. Therefore, you had better not lie to a Cancer since they will see straight through you!
#4: Caring
The nurturing qualities that cancers are renowned for are an outgrowth of their fundamentally emotional personalities. In fact, Cancer’s devotion and protectiveness are examples of this trait.
When it comes to romantic love, crabs are extremely kind to their mates, but they also demand the same level of consideration and care from them (and become upset if they don’t).
Negative Cancer Traits
Every sign of the zodiac has a few flaws, and the Cancer sign is no different. Here, we list the three worst qualities of Cancer, ranging from moodiness and excessive sensitivity to vindictiveness.
#1: Overly Sensitive
The Crab’s inclination to become too sensitive to criticism or any (even mildly) emotional scenario is one of the hardest Cancer qualities to deal with. You can be sure that if you say something hurtful to a Cancer, they won’t forget it and will probably think about it for the rest of the day.
Indeed, crabs are infamous for spending a lot of time brooding in the shelter of their shells, which frequently causes them to participate in a public act of self-pity. If they continue to feel something is “wrong,” their sensitivity may occasionally lower their self-esteem and even cause them to become a bit paranoid.
#2: Moody
Due to the intricacy of their emotions, which can abruptly switch from being exceedingly pleased to terribly unhappy, cancers are renowned for having mood swings. A Cancer will quickly retreat into their shells when upset or uneasy.
The sudden emotional shifts that the Crab experiences, which wax and wane with the moon’s phases, are a result of the relationship between the Cancer sign and the moon (the sign’s ruling planet). Cancers secretly desire others to be as kind and generous as they are. And if they don’t understand it, get ready for a powerful emotional outburst or mood change!
#3: Vindictive
Never be shocked if a crab becomes a little petty or vindictive if you ever cross them. Cancers enjoy getting their way and typically do so by being compassionate and selfless. However, if it doesn’t succeed, they are prepared to exact revenge on whatever or whoever is making them suffer.
Because their emotions can often make them feel insecure and even manipulative, angry crabs should be avoided.

The 12 zodiac signs are what?
The zodiac is a belt-shaped area of the sky that stretches roughly 8 degrees north or south (as measured in celestial latitude) of the ecliptic, the Sun’s apparent passage across the celestial sphere throughout the year. The belt of the zodiac contains the paths of the Moon and the visible planets.
The zodiac in Western astrology and earlier astronomy is split into twelve signs: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. Each sign occupies 30 of celestial longitude and generally corresponds to a star constellation.
These astrological signs are used to create an ecliptic coordinate system, which uses the vernal equinox position of the Sun as the origin of longitude and the ecliptic as the origin of latitude.

Zodiac signsare they true?
According to the 2016 post, astrology is not science and is instead something else. Nobody has demonstrated the use of astrology to make future predictions or characterize people solely based on their birth dates.
I’ve come across a lot of folks that are willing to quickly condemn another person based on their Zodiac sign, especially on this college. Others even believe that it is possible to determine a partner’s compatibility purely based on their Zodiac sign, as if that weren’t enough. The dating scene has been harmed by the rising stress that people place on their Zodiac compatibility. Zodiac signs are frequently brought up on first dates and are abundant in Tinder profiles’ biographies.
When reading the personalities of the Zodiac signs, it is precisely the same as when individuals perceive something nice about themselves, they tend to latch onto it and disregard the bad. For instance, a typical Cancer is sensitive, kind, and creative. When looking at this rapidly, cancers might be able to relate to some or all of these, as I do, but they might disregard the ones they don’t. Additionally, cancers frequently make decisions on on intuition rather than thorough research. I can say that, as a fellow Cancer, I am awful at making judgments without having all the information. I always view a YouTube video of a huge rollercoaster before riding it so I can be fully prepared. That’s not really something a Cancer would do.
In the end, the facts are what actually matter. The constellations that form the basis of the Zodiac signs are real, as well. However, not even NASA can support the idea that a person’s personality is influenced by their astrological sign. I, for one, am in denial, despite the fact that some college students around the nation may still be mesmerized by these sweeping, general readings.
Ophiuchus: a fire sign or not?
Although neither of the official astrological systems recognizes Ophiuchus as a sign, certain sidereal astrologers might include it in their chart analysis. The constellation, which is a representation of a serpent-bearer, is located between the early and late degrees of the mutable fire sign Sagittarius and the fixed water sign Scorpio.
Are cancers reserved?
Cancers are initially shy, so it could be difficult to discern if they even like you. A Cancer may take some time to fully emerge from their shell and reveal their actual self, much like their mascot, the crab. When dating a Cancer, patience is essential. This conflict-averse water sign may exhibit some passivity if they’re irritated. Make sure there is always open communication in the relationship because a Cancer can assume you can read their minds and understand what’s bothering them.
Why is cancer so popular?
When it comes to matters of the heart, they are the most fervent and emotional sign.
No other sign possesses the emotional intelligence and real grasp of human nature that Cancers naturally possess, and they bring a great deal of compassion and care to individuals. They understand you, and it is so alluring.
- Their affection for the ocean and their use of seagreen, blue, and silver tones represent their inventive nature (being a Water element).
- displaying their stunning eyes. Every Cancerian has dark, brooding eyes.
- Smiling. It can brighten the environment when someone is genuinely joyful or satisfied.
