Astronomical facts about Ophiuchus
Ophiuchus is a constellation that has been known to the ancient astronomers for quite sometime now. It has yet another name, Serpentarius, which means the Serpent Holder.
It is a part of 48 constellations that has been mentioned by Ptolemy. Ophiuchus is shown as a man with a serpent, dividing it into two fractions. This is very much akin to the symbol which is known as Asclepius. So far our astrologers have not included this sign in the zodiac due to the short phase of the sun in that sign.

It is not that there was no presence of a 13th sign. The astrologers were of opinion that Sun made its way from Scorpius and them moved to Sagittarius.
