being a cocksucker from brooklyn i hardly have any heroes and find fault with everyone, but this guy is perhaps one of mine...check this out...

I don't think "magicians" like Chris Angel & David Blaine are trying to convince anyone that what they do is magic or psychic, but I'd sure like to know how they do some of that stuff.

I'm Ophiuchus, the 13th constellation in the sidereal zodiac (as opposed to the 12 signs of the tropical zodiac, according to which I'm Sagittarius).

The reason why Ophiuchus is not a part of the western astrological zodiac is because that zodiac is defined on the basis of the sun spending an equal amount of time in twelve astrological signs starting at the vernal equinox in the northern hemisphere — this is called the tropical zodiac. There is also a sidereal zodiac, which is based on the actual location of the stars in the sky, and which is used by Hindu and some Western astrologers. At present, the sun is in Ophiuchus from November 30 to December 19.

Ophiuchus is a large, obscure constellation, also known as Serpent Bearer. Thus, the constellation represnts Aesculapius (Asclepius), the Greek god of medicine, son of Apollo and the nymph Coronis, whose symbol (a serpent wrapped about a staff) predates the Caduceus (two serpents wrapped about a staff). He was taught by Chiron, the centaur, and he had incredible skill at healing; he could even raise the dead. This last skill roused the anger of Zeus, who slew Esculapius with a thunderbolt. His sons carried on their father's medical tradition, serving the wounded of the Greek army before the walls of Troy. The first known appearance dates to Sumer, over 2000 BC. Thus Ophiuchus is a symbol of healing.

Due to the precession of the equinoxes, the sun is in a different position relative to the zodiac on the first day of Spring every year. It's a slight motion, virtually undetectable in a human lifetime, but 2,000 years ago the vernal sun moved from Aries to Pisces (Aries being the symbol of Mithra, the greatest God of the ancient world, and Pisces being the symbol of the Christ). In a little less than 600 years, the vernal sun will enter Aquarius (the dawning of the Age of Aquarius will happen then, not in the 1960s).

Believe it or not, the Greek astronomer Hipparchus discovered the precession of the equinoxes in the second century BC, and astrologers realized they had a problem: the sun was supposed to be in Aries when spring began (hey, it had been that way as long as any records indicated), but it was now in Pisces. So they declared that the signs drifted with the sun, with the result that the sun was still in Aries even though it really wasn't. The implication of this is that the stars exert no influence on man, astrologically speaking; if there is a celestial influence, it's not from the stars but from the region of space which were marked by the classical twelve zodiac signs 2,500 years ago.
