Personality Traits of the 13th Zodiac sign Ophiuchus

The Ophiuchus,New 13th Zodiac Sign of 2011 has emerged as a controversy online.The theory of the 13th Zodiac sign of 2011,Ophiuchus came after statement from Parke Kunkle of The Minnesota Planetarium Society.

Kunkle stated that the Earth’s position has shifted due to the gravitational pull from the moon and hence the Zodiac Signs must be rearranged to balance this shift. This also added the new sign “Ophiuchus”, a sign represented by a man holding a snake or “SnakeMan”.The sign is based on “Imhotep” of Egypt.

One of Imhoteps abilities was healing and it is said that it was he who introduced it to mankind. His accomplishments also included a wide knowledge of medicine. The serpent or snake symbol which is still used today to symbolize the medical profession was also used to represent Imhotep.

If seen at ground level,then this theory is accepted by only a few,while rejected by many.The reason stated is that the Zodiac signs are dependent on the position of stars and relatively sun during the birth and any new sign added today cannot make the shifts in already existing ones.
