Ophiuchus - The Serpent Holder

Between Scorpius and Sagittarius lies a secret to most but astronomers. Ladies and Gentlemen, in case you haven't heard, there is a 13th constellation originally called "Serpentarius" a greek word for "serpent holder" know commonly known as Ophiuchus. Of the 13 zodiacal constellations (constellations that contain the Sun during the course of the year), Ophiuchus is the only one not counted as an astrological sign!





Ophiuchus the Serpent Holder is and always has been the 13th constellation on the zodiac belt, but has never been initiated as a sign of the Zodiac
Ophiuchus, in Greek mythology, was Aesclepius, Master Architect, Healer, and God of Wisdom. 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, whose life and times in or about the 27th Century B.C. He was 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.
