![]() The number of constellations does not change our zodiac signs. They erroneously claim (without much knowledge of astrology) that since the Ophiuchus constellation is along the ecliptic, that Ophiuchus must be the 13th zodiac sign.īut, there are as many as 22 star constellations along the ecliptic band. Some are quick to assume that the Ophiuchus constellation is actually a 13th zodiac sign, but they are wrong. Ancient astronomers in Babylon designated the 12 signs of astrology after meticulous observation of these cycles. During that time, the moon travels the ecliptic 12 times. In other words, the sun takes one year to travel once completely along the ecliptic path. We have 12 zodiac signs, not because there are 12 constellations along the ecliptic, but rather for the same reason that we have 12 months: because there are 12 lunar cycles for each solar cycle. ![]()
