The often overlooked thirteenth Sun sign, Ophiuchus (off-ee-yoo-kuhs) has been known since ancient times by various names to many cultures across the world. As the thirteenth sign, Ophiuchus has no opposite or polarity within the Zodiac, and has come to be associated with the Awakening and Ascension. The Mayans believed that at the end of time, man would awaken the serpent god Kukulcan (also known as Quetzalcoatl to the Aztecs) to save the world from cataclysmic destruction and carry the nine races of man forward.
Ophiuchus and Our Highest Potential
Ophiuchus remains the representation of our highest potential as Spiritual and Physical beings in this age. As with every sign, it has duality – the qualities we strive to achieve, and our roadblocks to reaching these ideals. Ophiuchus is a sign we all have the potential to move into, and we now live in a time when many people all over the world have achieved, and are achieving, awakening, enlightenment, and all forms of higher spiritual learning.
Positive traits include powerful wills and emotions, charisma, intelligence, sex appeal, natural leadership and have physical and mental strength. They are capable of living surrounded by stressful conditions and when positively focused can work consistently without any need of rest.
The Downside of the Ophiuchans Sun Sign
