Your signs are different because true sidereal astrology uses the actual location of the planets in the sky. Mainstream western astrology (tropical) doesn't use where the planets actually are - it uses a seasonal calendar system instead.

We believe the true sidereal chart is the most foundational chart in astrology. It shows what constellations the planets were actually in at the time of your birth - the same sky our ancestors looked at for thousands of years before simplified calendar systems.

Ophiuchus is the 13th sign of the zodiac and shares the same part of the sky as Scorpio. Because Ophiuchus is situated on the ecliptic (the path through which the planets orbit the Sun), it is considered a zodiac sign.

Both Ophiuchus and Scorpio carry 8th house energies of transformation and depth. The Sun passes through Ophiuchus from December 6 to December 19 in our Midpoint Method.
