13 Constellations in Zodiac
From: http://www.astro.wisc.edu/~dolan/con...ra/Zodiac.html
Quote:
The Zodiac is the ring of constellations that the Sun seems to pass through each year as the Earth orbits around it. Contrary to popular belief, there are actually 13 zodiacal constellations, if you pay attention to the way astronomers define them. In addition to
Capricornus, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpius, and Sagittarius,
the Sun also passes through
Ophiuchus.

The bold is mine. Just thought I'd put my 2 cents in for the sake of being contrary.
