Zodiac. Ophiuchus is one of the thirteen constellations that cross the ecliptic. It has sometimes been suggested as the 13th sign of the zodiac.
There are only 12 zodiac signs. They are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. And don't you trust those who say, “Ophiuchus is a zodiac sign”. It's just a constellation in the sky.

The snake charmer. If we use a celestial planisphere, we will see that between November 30 and December 18, the Sun occupies one of those less famous constellations: Ophiuchus, the serpent bearer or snake charmer. Those born between these dates are, of necessity, the zodiacal sign Ophiuchus.
The zodiac was divided into 12 astrological signs, each occupying 1/12 (or 30°) of its great circle, by the Babylonians about 500 bce. Many of the Babylonian signs (for example, the Twins [Gemini], the Crab [Cancer], the Balance [Libra], among others) are still used today.
