Ophiuchus, the Serpent Bearer, is a large constellation located between Scorpio and Sagittarius. The Sun passes through it roughly from November 29 to December 18.
Why isn’t it part of the zodiac? Western astrology uses a 12‑sign tropical system based on the seasons. Ancient astrologers intentionally kept the zodiac at twelve signs, even though the Sun crosses more constellations.
What does Ophiuchus represent? It’s commonly associated with healing, transformation, wisdom, and inner work.
