Why don't they change the Zodiac already?

Question

They need to change it because of the 13 signs, not 12. I don't know why they still keep using the wrong Zodiac.

Answer 1

How is there another sign?

Btw, it's because that sign isn't a real sun sign. It's some other type of sign. Read about it.

It's not a sign that should be added to the zodiac. It's like a rising sign, that's all. If your rising sign is that, you may be a saggitarius that's more... "normal" and sympathetic. People will be more jealous of that type of saggitarius, too, etc. It doesn't mean that's the person's actual sign.

Answer 2

The 13th sign actually exists. May be due to their convenience in calculations (because of the no.12) or just their fixed opinions they have not included Ophiuchus yet.

Answer 3

well start a petition and get it signed by all the other astrology freaks and then submit it to the zodiac police.

Answer 4

You're right! A new book coming out "13 sign Astrology - Beyond Boundaries" By GH Wycoff. I've been an astrologer for many years and this book has answered a lot of question that 12 sign could never get. I've had to rethink what I've been taught. If you or anyone else wants a copy of the preliminary  introduction, send me your address and send you a copy,

This is basis, found on the net:

OPHIUCHUS - A.K.A. Asklepius - Serpentarius “The Serpent Holder / The Snake Charmer” The 13th Sign

From approximately 247 to 266 degrees of the Ecliptic (the center of the plane of the Zodiac Belt) measured from the current point of the vernal equinox (as of 2000 A.D.) and clearly in that space of it popularly thought to be occupied by Scorpio the Scorpion is a newcomer to the Belt of the Zodiac, but only inasmuch as it has lain all this time unempowered and unknown as a zodiac constellation. Taking up approximately 19 degrees worth of the Ecliptic is Ophiuchus, The Serpent Holder (from the Greek ofis "snake," and echein "have hold").

Ophiuchus the Serpent Holder is and always has been the 13th constellation on the zodiac belt, but apparently nobody has ever initiated his sign as a  member of the Zodiac, possibly because then there wouldn't have been a convenient one constellation for each of the twelve months of the calendar year.

Ophiuchus is the only constellation in the sky which is patterned after a real person in human history, tracing back through time and space for its roots to an Ancient Egyptian mortal-made-god named Imhotep, "the one that comes in peace", whose life and times in or about the 27th Century B.C. were honored by both the Egyptians and Greeks some 2500 years after his death as not only a great man, but as a god who owed his great powers to the knowledge of medicine which he possessed, and who brought the art of healing to mankind.

Ophiuchus, in Greek mythology, was Aesclepius, Master Architect, Healer, and God of Wisdom. Earth is a planet in trouble.

The  stars in the sky...

"SERPENT HOLDER (OPHIUCHUS): Vast group, somewhat complex [technically, it's two constellations: one the man and the other the SERPENT (SERPENS) in two parts: HEAD (CAPUT) and TAIL (CAUDA)] resembling a voodoo doctor holding the pieces of a snake torn in two. To trace this figure, start with bright star at top of triangular head, left of Hercules' forward foot. The two pairs of stars in the doctor's shoulders are easily recognized. Next, trace the huge rectangular body, then the right arm with SERPENT'S front part. The snake's head is a pretty little group, south of the Crown. The left arm with the Serpent's tail comes next, and then last the rather dim feet. If you succeed in seeing the whole after a few trials, you have accomplished something. An odd thing about the Serpent Holder is that it reaches into the zodiac, yet is not by tradition counted among the zodiacal figures, possibly because there would then be 13 constellations instead of 12." THE STARS, H. A. Rey, Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston (1952) Enlarged World-Wide Edition (1980).

The Myth...  

Alarmed that Asclepius's ability to keep people alive might put him out of work, Hades god of the dead petitioned his brother Zeus, god of earth & sky, to kill Asclepius, the physician who never lost a patient to death. Zeus then struck the mortal Asclepius down with a Thunderbolt for daring to wield power as mighty as that of the gods, but placed him among the constellations to honor him, calling him "Ophiuchus," which is Greek for "serpent holder."

The Startistics mission ...

The year is 2000 A.D. When last we left Asclepius, he was a man alone in his principles among gods, stripped of his name and stranded in the sky with only his snake spirits and the root of his tragedy to keep him company. Thousands of years have gone by. Every day he rises and sets in the sky, pre-eminent among the constellations of the zodiac. For the most part, he goes unnoticed by the casual observer looking for a brighter collection of stars. And he certainly goes unread by herd-instinct astrologers who don’t mind foretelling doom by other means but who stay away from including a 13th constellation on the Zodiac belt, perhaps because it disturbs our well-ordered world. Perhaps they quite simply aren't aware of it. I Am, therefore I think. I shall quest after this hero, just because I can ..
