Astrologists traditionally like to use a twelve sign zodiac because it makes things easier for themselves and because thirteen is supposed to be an unlucky number. But since the constellations are actually moving rather than at fixed points there should really be an additional sign that is referred to as Ophiuchus or the Serpent Holder which is meant to be a representation of the Greek god of medicine. The way I understand it many people born under Scorpio should actually have Ophiuchus as their sign.

Someone tried to explain to me once how this all worked but it required an understanding of Astronomy way beyond anything my tiny brain was capable of coping with.

I'll have to look into that more. I'd always just known of the 12. Cheers!
