Ophiuchus ⛎
Copy & Meaning

An Ophiuchus zodiac symbol — the 13th zodiac sign that the Sun passes through between November 29 and December 17, yet is excluded from the traditional Western 12-sign zodiac system. Ophiuchus (the serpent bearer) sits between Scorpio and Sagittarius on the ecliptic, and its inclusion would require completely restructuring the zodiac calendar.

This symbol periodically resurfaces in popular media as the 'hidden zodiac sign,' creating online debates about whether everyone's birth sign should shift. Used for astronomy and astrology boundary discussions, the interesting tension between astronomical reality and astrological tradition, and any context involving zodiac curiosity about signs beyond the conventional twelve.
