I want to know your thoughts. Also, does anyone know if these astrologists made up a description of someone who had a sun in Ophiuchus?

With Ophiuchus in the zodiac I am now a Virgo! Kinda like sidereal. Anyway, anyone know what their birth charts would look like with Ophuichus in it?

It's a load of bullshit.

Where did you hear that? The sun has always "hit" Ophiuchus, since it's right between Scorpio and Sagittarius. With 13 signs, the 360 degree circle has to be divided by 13. All the signs get less degrees, and all the decans and duads have to be divided differently as well. Besides, the actual constellations are not even near the same size. The astronomical Scorpius-constellation is so small that it can room some other constellations up to 7 times. Astronomical Taurus, Virgo and Sagittarius, for example, are pretty big. Ophiuchus is almost the same size as astronomical Cancer and Aquarius.

Ophiuchus is the actual constellation which occupies the 7th through the 30th degrees of “Scorpio” in the Tropical Zodiac. Scorpius and Ophiuchus were combined into a single “sign” -Scorpio. This is why there are 12 signs in the Tropical Zodiac, the Zodiac most Western Astrologers are familiar with, rather than the 13 constellations of the Siderial Zodiac. Individuals whom are born during the first six or seven days of the traditional dates for “Scorpio” actually have their Sun in Scorpius; this means that most people who are “Scorpios” according to Western Astrology actually have their Sun in Ophiuchus, as the sun is in this constellation for 23 or 24 days of the “sign”.

It isn't always the Sun sign right before as sometimes it's just booted up to somewhere near the first few days of the original sign. Did you check it?

Sideral doesn't have enough information for me to take it seriously.

If it was sidereal the moon would be Capi and Asc is Cancer.

You have so much Capi influence in the first place, if I remember correctly, so I guess it would be hard to say. In regards to my last post and with the approach I'm hesitant to take, I don't really know how well you fit Cancer or Leo. You don't immediately strike me as either one.
