The Serpent Bearer, Ophiuchus, is frequently referred to as the 13th or Forgotten Constellation of the Zodiac. Because the sun passes in front of Ophiuchus every year between November 30 and December 18, this is the case. Despite this, no one ever claims to have been born when the sun was in Ophiuchus.
What are astrological signs and what do they mean? The 12 signs of the tropical zodiac represent 30-degree sections of the sky that are equally proportioned. That’s why, for example, the sun only appears in front of each zodiac sign for about a month at a time. Meanwhile, the sun passes in front of the constellations for varied lengths of time, for example, around 1 1/2 months in front of the constellation Virgo and about a week in front of the constellation Scorpius.
What are the different types of astronomy constellations? Ancient stargazers identified patterns in the stars, gave them names, and linked them to legends and mythology. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) established formal constellation borders in the early twentieth century. The constellations come in a variety of sizes and shapes. The zodiac constellations are those through which the sun, moon, and planets all pass. We’ve had 12 zodiac constellations for as long as anyone can remember. Their names (roughly) correspond to the 12 zodiac signs.
There are 13 zodiac constellations if you include Ophiuchus, which also keeps the sun within its limits for part of the year.

Ophiuchus a short hop north of Antares
On these July nights, you can glimpse Ophiuchus the Serpent Bearer. The stars are faint, so you’ll need a dark sky to see them. From the Northern Hemisphere, look for Ophiuchus in the south at nightfall. Around mid-evening, look more overhead from the Southern Hemisphere.
Antares, a brilliant red star in the constellation Scorpius the Scorpion, can aid in the search for Ophiuchus. Ophiuchus can be seen a short distance north of Antares.
The brightest star in Ophiuchus is Rasalhague, a 2nd-magnitude star that highlights Ophiuchus’ head. In the Ophiuchus chart below, look for Rasalhague. Rasalhague, on the other hand, isn’t nearly as bright as Antares.
