FAQs
One constellation tradition is the western zodiac, which is made up of 12 constellations: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.
The zodiac is divided along the ecliptic into 12 equal parts (signs), each occupying 30° of celestial longitude. These signs roughly correspond to the astronomical constellations with the following modern names: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.
Ophiuchus is one of the thirteen constellations that cross the ecliptic. It has sometimes been suggested as the 13th sign of the zodiac. However, this confuses zodiac or astrological signs with constellations.
