Astrology and the traditional 12 zodiacs. People love them so much and invest in books, jewellery, oracle cards, food and fortunes that connects them with their zodiac sign. A zodiac sign is the sign that you were born under. Some people may hate this but there are many more hidden star signs outside of the 12 zodiac that may or may not have an impression. Some have tried to squeeze the 13th new sign into the 12 zodiac but this pushes them along so that peoples beloved signs are not over their months anymore. This is kind of unnecessary and rude! Keep the 12 traditional zodiac but make a new one that includes all of the distant hidden stars.
Our zodiac system has been like family for about 3,000 years when the idea was first invented. It's regarded as a sun sign system. The zodiac signs are based on equinoxes and the solstices. There are many who debate that this should've included a 13th zodiac, named Ophiuchus, that the sun often passes. Ophiuchus is a vast constellation called a "serpent bearer" so was not included when the ancient Babylonians made the zodiac. Basically if the 13th sign was included, this would change the dates on the present zodiac, which would alter peoples own familiar sun signs. Many don't like that.
The excluded 13th zodiac is like the story of 13th fairy who wasn't invited to the royal celebration of the newborn princess. All the other 12 fairies were invited and each gave their blessing. It's as if the 13th fairy was like the 13th zodiac sign who wasn't allowed to influence a child's life after birth. Fairy tales are often magical and have deep significance. Some are connected to old myths, legends, folklore and ancient wisdom. It's not just the 12 signs or even the 13th sign. Many star constellations play an important role in shaping our lives too.
I could never really warm to my own star sign of the zodiac, mainly because I was born on the cusp. Although I do identify with the constellation Pegasus, where my birth chart is under. My daughter doesn't like her zodiac sign although she's now happy to learn that the constellation Andromeda "the princess" is in her birth chart. Others won't agree with me but all of this is very exciting stuff.
