The Mistery of the 13th zodiac..., Ophiuchus, the lost zodiac. Options

Hello one and all, my name is Del but my mystic name is Kaiyes. Don't ask me why but I was drawn to it and I guess it kind of fits (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Anyway this is my first time posting on this site so please be gentle...

I have a problem, which in some cases everybody has a problem. But mines deal with my zodiac sign. My birthday is coming up and it’s ruled under the Sagittarius sign but for some strange reason I never felt like I was a Sagittarius so yesterday I decide to do some research and just to my knowledge there is another zodiac sign. Yep, its name is Ophiuchus. It falls right at the end of November and the beginning of December. But the world hasn’t followed this up because of the Tropical Zodiac which follows the 12 months in the year.

For those who don’t know who Ophiuchus is let bring you up to speed…


Mythology

There are several mythological possibilities for whom the figure represents.
The most recent interpretation is that the figure represents the legendary physician Asclepius, who learned the secrets of life and death from one serpent bringing another some herbs which healed it (Asclepius had previously tried to kill it). In order to avoid the human race becoming immortal under Asclepius' care, Zeus eventually killed him with a bolt of lightning, but placed him in the heavens to honour his good works. The involvement in the myth of Chiron may be connected to the nearby presence of the constellation Sagittarius, which was in later times occasionally considered to represent Chiron (who was more usually identified as the constellation Centaurus).
Another possibility is that the figure represents the demise during the Trojan War of the Trojan priest Laocoön, who was strangled by a snake or a sea serpent after warning the Trojans against accepting the Trojan Horse. A suggestive statue in the Vatican Museums depicts the tragedy.
A third possibility is Apollo wrestling with the Python to take control of the oracle at Delphi.

I’ve heard rumors that he is, in egyptian mythology, Imhoptep and was a healer in that form. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/egypt1.gif)

Regardless of the myth, if this is the truth, then I question the value of my Zodiac and element. I was ruled by fire since I was a Sagitturiaus but since this new Zodiac came into play, then what am I ruled by now? My planetary alignment was Jupiter but since this new Zodiac came along then what is my planetary aligment now? Hell the funny part is I can’t even read a horoscope because I don’t have a zodic to read. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush2.gif) I would completely understand if somebody have already brought this to attention. I just figured somebody out there would know what I’m going through and relate and tell me what should I do. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)
