Ophiuchus - the snake charmer, the healer, the cosmic reject- is the thirteenth sign exiled from the zodiac wheel yet recognized by NASA as a major constellation along the ecliptic. In Latin,Ophiuchus translates to serpent-bearer and is associated with deities across history known for their unparalleled healing abilities. While the sun passes briefly through this constellation, the sign remains to this day, overlooked along the ecliptic. Its presence however, is unwavering in the starry firmament, positioned directly at the heart and center of our galaxy.
