Though in reality, this thirteenth sign, Ophiuchus has existed the whole time. Our knowledge of the two types of astrology might have been lacking.
Sideral and Tropical astrology are the two main types of astrology that differ in the way they look at horoscopes. Why tropical astrology skips the Ophiuchus sign all together because they focus on the suns position in relation to the earth, why sidereal astrologers focus on the stars and constellation.
The thirteenth sign if taken into consideration would fall in-between Scorpio and Sagittarius switching things up for the signs around them. Some positive personality traits of an Ophiuchus seekers of knowledge, rebellious, secretive, against blind authority, wise and empathetic. Some negative traits are that they can tend to be, hyper-critical, jealous, and extremely self-critical.
