Ophiuchus and the 13th Constellation
Ophiuchus is a real constellation, but Vedic astrology uses a 12-sign zodiac for the rashis and 27 nakshatras for the lunar mansions.
Overview
Ophiuchus is a real constellation, but Vedic astrology uses a 12-sign zodiac for the rashis and 27 nakshatras for the lunar mansions.
How To Use This
The existence of Ophiuchus does not mean the zodiac signs are wrong. Astrology is using a symbolic and astronomical framework with defined divisions, not simply naming every constellation on the ecliptic as a zodiac sign.
