Judy Chicago & Author Jane F. Gerhard to Speak at Brooklyn Museum, 7/11
Artist Judy Chicago, the creator of the iconic feminist work of art The Dinner Party, which is on permanent view at the Brooklyn Museum, will speak with author Jane F. Gerhard about her new book that details the making and history of Chicago's monumental installation. The program at the Brooklyn Museum, scheduled for Thursday, July 11, at 6:30 p.m., will be moderated by Saisha Grayson, Assistant Curator of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art.
Through an exploration of this landmark work of art, Gerhard's book, The Dinner Party: Judy Chicago and the Power of Popular Feminism, 1970-2007, traces the broader feminist movement from its beginnings in activist groups to its emergence as a mainstream movement. Gerhard provides the first glimpse of the day-to-day activities in Chicago's studio, where men and women gathered to help the artist produce her monumental work. In detailing what followed--from the installation's 1979 opening at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, to its reception by the national media and the controversies it sparked among feminists and art critics, to its unconventional tour leading up to its place today as the focal point of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum--the book argues for The Dinner Party's worldwide impact and centrality in debates about feminism.
Widely regarded as the first epic feminist artwork, and one of the most famous works in the history of American art, Judy Chicago's monumental installation functions as a symbolic history of women in Western civilization. For the first two years of the project, which took more than five years to complete, the artist worked alone in her Santa Monica workshop conceiving and executing her extraordinary vision. The undertaking proved so ambitious, however, that eventually 400 women and men from all over the country became involved, volunteering their time--from a month to several years--to work on the installation. One of Chicago's aims was to end the ongoing cycle of omission in which women's achievements are repeatedly written out of the historical record--a cycle of repetition that results in generation after generation of women struggling for recognition and advancement that are too often quickly forgotten or erased again. Through the process of making and touring The Dinner Party, Chicago also helped forge a community of supporters dedicated to seeing women's history and culture recognized through this particular work of art.
Containing thirty-nine elaborate place settings carefully arranged along a massive triangular table, The Dinner Party honors the achievement of women over the millennia in craft forms associated with the domestic, or feminine, realm. Each table setting, unique to the woman whose life it honors, includes a hand-painted china plate, ceramic flatware, and chalice, and a napkin with an embroidered gold edge. The settings rest upon elaborately embroidered runners, executed in a variety of needlework styles and techniques taken from the periods in which these women lived.
The set dinner table stands on the Heritage Floor, made up of more than two thousand white luster-glazed triangular tiles, each inscribed in gold script with the name of one of the 999 women who have made a mark on history. In the installation at the Brooklyn Museum's Elizabeth A. Sackler Center, the Entry Banners, Heritage Panels, and an extensive online database dedicated to this iconic work help illustrate the contributions of these women and credit the many participants who made possible the realization ofThe Dinner Party.
Judy Chicago, whose name has become synonymous with feminist art, grew up in Chicago and later took the name of her hometown as her surname. She was educated in California, and her early work spanned several styles, including Minimalism, abstraction, and finally the evolution of a feminist art practice. In 2014, in celebration of the thirty-fifth anniversary of The Dinner Party and the artist's seventy-fifth birthday, there will be a number of events and exhibitions throughout the country, including an exhibition of Judy Chicago's early career, on view at the Brooklyn Museum April 4 through September 28.
Jane F. Gerhard is coauthor of Women and the Making of America and author of Desiring Revolution: Second-Wave Feminism and the Rewriting of American Sexual Thought, 1920 to1982.

Brian Mcbride: Salah yet to develop connection with Firmino
Former Fulham forward Brian Mcbride said that Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah is...
Nigerian rising star Etebo Oghenekaro has made a shock move to Portuguese Second Division Club CD Feirense, becoming the 3rd Nigerian player on the books at the club.
Etebo scored the only goal for Nigeria in the 1-1 draw back with Egypt in Kaduna only a couple of weeks ago. He also won the Most Promising Talent of the Year award this year at the CAF Awards, beating off competition in Egypt's Kahraba in the process.
It is also worth mentioning that Etebo was a key pillar to Nigeria's success in the U-23 AFCON last December, taking out the Golden Boot of the tournament, scoring 5 goals, including a brace against Algeria in the final.
The promising forward almost joined Serie A outfit Udinese back in 2014 after passing the trial he was given but Udinese and his former club Warri Wolves FC never came to an agreement surrounding the transfer fee and the move collapsed.
The switch, which is the first European move in Etebo's career, has left many shocked, with many believing that the promising striker would make a move to a bigger European team. It remains to be seen how Etebo develops, with the Portuguese league proving fruitful building blocks in the careers of many young Africans recently, notably Egypt's Ahmed Hassan Koka.

While Huawei grabbed world headlines by showcasing its first ever wearable device, ZTE, on the other hand, launched two new smartphones running Firefox OS at the Mobile World Congress in Spain. Additionally, the company also announced its Grand Memo II LTE phablet, a 6-inch 720p HD phablet with Snapdragon 400 processor and 4G LTE connectivity.
Back in 2013, Chinese handset manufacturer ZTE showed its faith in Firefox OS. The tech vendor released ZTE Open. It was a huge hit in ZTE's native market. Now, the company launched two new affordable handsets running Firefox OS, the Open C and Open II.
ZTE says the company plans to sell as many as 1 million Firefox OS powered handset this year.
ZTE Open C - Highlighted Specifications
The ZTE Open C comes with a 4-inch WVGA display having a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. Under the hood, we can see a 1.2GHz dual-core processor (MSM8210) Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 SoC, backed by 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal memory. The makers have added a 1400mAh battery. There's a 3-megapixel rear-facing camera given on the back. The device does come with 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity. ZTE says the device will be in Telefónica in Venezuela and Uruguay during the second quarter of 2014.
ZTE Open II - Highlighted Specifications
Unlike the Open C, which has a large display, the Open II features a slightly smaller screen. There's a 3.5-inch display having a resolution of 480 x 320 pixels, a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor coupled with 256MB of RAM and 2GB of internal memory. The phone comes with a 2MP rear-facing camera, 3G connectivity and lastly 1150mAh battery.
Unfortunately, ZTE hasn't announced its plans to release the Open C and Open II in Indian market. In fact, the original ZTE Open wasn't made available in India due to lack of carrier support.
ZTE Grand Memo II LTE- Highlighted Specifications
The ZTE Grand Memo II LTE is a clear answer to Huawei Ascend Mate 2 4G, which was announced earlier this year at CES. The Grand Memo II LTE features a massive 6-inch 720p HD display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 13 -megapixel rear-facing camera and front-facing 5-megapixel front-facing shooter. The phone runs Android 4.4 Kitkat with ZTE's native MiFavor 2.3 OS on top of it.
The 4G LTE enabled device incorporates a 3,200mAh battery. ZTE says the smartphone will first hit China in April.

Roy Morgan Newspaper Print Readership and Cross-Platform Audience Results for December 2015
Roy Morgan Research today releases the latest Print Readership and seven-day Cross-Platform Audience results for Australian Newspapers for the 12 months to December 2015.
Monday to Friday, Saturday and Sunday Newspapers
A year ago, The Age was the darling of the newspaper world, gaining readers in an environment where no others could. But in the subsequent 12 months to December 2015, the title has now suffered double-digit declines from those lofty results, down on Monday to Friday (down 16.1% to 475,000), Saturday, (down 15.4% to 588,000) and Sunday (down 19.0% to 470,000).
Other major metro editions (which had already endured equivalently heavy declines in years past) are now holding steady. Readership changed less than 1% for the Monday to Friday editions of the Sydney Morning Herald (down 0.8% to 514,000) and West Australian (up 0.9% to 435,000), as well as the Saturday editions of the Daily Telegraph (up 0.5% to 599,000) and the Weekend Australian (unchanged at 663,000).
Among the most prominent successes: the Saturday edition of the Australian Financial Review gained readers (up 25.2% to 159,000); TheMercury in Tasmania gained on Saturdays (up 4.9% to 108,000) and almost maintained its average weekday readership (down 1.3% to 78,000); Sunday was sunny for both the Sunday Tasmanian (up 2.2% to 92,000) and Sunday Territorian (up 10.0% to 33,000); and the Gold Coast Bulletinmanaged the ultimate feat of adding readers on both weekdays (up 4.0% to 78,000) and the weekend (up 10.0% to 88,000).
Despite shedding 50,000 print readers per average edition, the Herald Sun remains the country's most-read Monday to Friday newspaper (down 5.6% to 842,000).
View the full Newspaper Average Print Issue Readership Results
Newspaper Inserted Magazines
Moving from a newsstand magazine to a monthly insert in the Financial Review in April 2015 has helped give Smart Investor a readership boost (up 9.0% to 97,000).
Reflecting the Gold Coast Bulletin's success on Saturdays, readership of the paper's inserted Gold Coast Eye also grew (up 8.9% to 49,000).
Wish grew 6.6% to score 81,000 readers per average issue, while the Weekend Australian Magazine (up 1.6% to 704,000) and the AustralianFinancial Review Magazine (up 1.6% to 453,000) continue to reach more readers on average than the papers they come inside.
View the full Newspaper Inserted Magazine Readership Results
Ten of 14 mastheads expanded their Digital reach in 2015, as more Australians accessed newspaper content by website or app.
Five mastheads scored double-digit growth in digital audiences: the Mercury (up 44.8% to 126,000), the Financial Review (up 33.4% to 447,000), the Sunday Times (28.2% to 555,000), the Newcastle Herald (up 24.2% to 149,000), and the Daily Telegraph (up 11.8% to 1,258,000). For the Financial Review and the Mercury, Digital growth supplemented gains in seven-day net Print readership to deliver Total Cross-Platform Audience increases of 13.9% and 20.7% respectively; the other three mastheads also increased their Total Cross-Platform Audiences as Digital gains exceeded declines in Print.
Weekly Digital reach also grew for The Australian (up 7.9% to 1,032,000), the West Australian (up 7.9% to 545,000) and the Sydney Morning Herald (up 1.6% to 2,796,000)—enough in each case to offset the contraction in Print and deliver virtually unchanged Total reach.
Launching in March 2014, The Saturday Paper doesn't yet have two full year-on-year results for comparison, however compared with the previous readership results for September 2015, the title grew in both Print (up 13.1% to 112,000) and Digital (up 21.4% to 119,000), for a rising Cross-Platform Audience (up 15.2% to 220,000).
Overall, 11 of these 14 metro mastheads now reach over 50% of their Audiences via website or app in an average week.

Google sues Rockstar, claiming Apple led patent troll threatens Android and Nexus
0. phoneArena posted on 24 Dec 2013, 20:02
Apple led Rockstar is a group of patent owning companies seeking to protect its intellectual property portfolio in court. On Tuesday, Google announced that it is taking Rockstar to court to stop the litigation which it says has "placed a cloud on Google's Android platform," in particular, on Google's Nexus range of devices. Google is concerned that Rockstar is desperate to make back its $4.2 billion purchase of Nortel patents by winning big in court...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

My cat's breath smells like cat food.
5. Ravens (Posts: 7; Member since: 07 Nov 2013)
Ok... but anyways, I'm really getting annoyed by patent trolls. It's getting out of control.
6. papss (unregistered)
So you hate them all? Thats the way its starting to turn out.
31. rf1975 (Posts: 259; Member since: 01 Aug 2011)
No, it not about android or OEM Google is trying to protect. It is it heart of the business (Search) is challenged by the Rockstar. Thats why Google is so much but heated.
2. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
If Google didn't want the patents to be asserted against it, why didn't it outbid the Apple-led group that won the bidding war?
Did Google really think Apple wasn't going to assert the patents? Puhleeease. They are acting like they were born last night.
10. sprockkets (Posts: 1611; Member since: 16 Jan 2012)
The patents are worth 1 billion. To apple and MS they are worth an extra 3.5 billion to NOT be in Google's hands.
Joke's on MS and apple if they are declared to be a patent troll with the new patent law being passed.
52. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Rockstar would be the one who would be subject to the new legislation if it passes. And, that would give Google standing to file suit against Rockstar. Legislation hasn't been signed into law yet, so Google may suffer the same result that Apple got trying to go after Lodsys - bupkis.
12. Kjayhawk (Posts: 294; Member since: 07 Oct 2010)
Well Rock star is made up of like 8 multi billion dollar companies right? So Google really couldn't compete. Plus you are going to have to look it up but when this story first hit You can read that a similar court case appeared to what happened to rock star and Google and it was ruled that the damages can not be more than how much a company purchased the patents for which is 4.5 billion
14. NexusPhan (Posts: 632; Member since: 11 Jul 2013)
Google bid to buy the patents but lost. They couldn't compete with all the companies that trolled together.
17. sprockkets (Posts: 1611; Member since: 16 Jan 2012)
And don't forget they paid 12 billion for Moto not much earlier. They can't spare that many billions.
49. Napalm_3nema (Posts: 2236; Member since: 14 Jun 2013)
Google was invited to be part of the Rockstar consortium, but they opted out because they wanted the patents for themselves.
41. grahaman27 (Posts: 361; Member since: 05 Apr 2013)
It was a blind auction, they bidded once and did not win.
3. papss (unregistered)
So now google is getting in on the sueing... great..
18. Ant34 (Posts: 193; Member since: 10 Aug 2013)
It's a defensive maneuver as opposed to what Apple, Microsoft and the rest of the consortium is doing.
29. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
well the only people who have sued google are oracle...
so any action will still be offensive... passively or actively & will enter google into the war
34. papss (unregistered)
Keep tellinv yourself that fandroid... sueing is sueing but nice spin on reality.
38. jroc74 (Posts: 6019; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Killing is also killing....but killing self defense is usually looked at in a different light.
40. papss (unregistered)
Sure.. defense?wow you really need to stop drinking the fanboy koolaid. This is no different than what apple is doing but nice try. They didnt want to pay up and others did. Simple as them being like all cell mfg mentality.
45. Ant34 (Posts: 193; Member since: 10 Aug 2013)
The consortium bought the patents for their patent trolling needs and offensively went after Google and Android OEMs. Google is now trying to protect itself and its partners against the patent trolling.
48. blazee (Posts: 414; Member since: 02 Jan 2012)
Youre the one who sounds like a fan who wants a damper on android to see your OS rise. They're suing to defend themselves.
53. papss (unregistered)
Just stop .. you sound ridiculous
55. ogre150 (Posts: 23; Member since: 16 Apr 2010)
Google is suing to stop court action in future. I don't think they'll get damages or anything. So it's not the same as Apple suing Samsung for instance. Apple sued to make Samsung pay. Google is suing to keep Rockstar from making companies pay a troll. Completely different.
4. mercorp (Posts: 1043; Member since: 28 Jan 2012)
I thought they referred to the maker of gta5...
20. Desmund (Posts: 74; Member since: 01 Nov 2012)
Waiting on someone to say that lol. Although at that point I guess people would be sueing because they made so much money Rockstar that is.
7. N-fanboy (Posts: 543; Member since: 12 Jan 2013)
Don't really care, all are d!cks. C@ckblocking each other.
9. corporateJP (Posts: 2458; Member since: 28 Nov 2009)
11. sprockkets (Posts: 1611; Member since: 16 Jan 2012)
When did Google, Asus or HTC or LG and others sue apple?
27. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
Nokia and Apple fans are delusional. They somehow see Apple and Nokia as the victims when they are the aggressors and cry babies.

I expect no less from you.. nice spin on reality.

'Come those who have awakened to their spirit path
Those who feel a connection with other life forms in the universe
Those who wish love and light to flow through them as channels
For the awakening of mankind on this sweet Earth we inhabit'
In this comprehensive workshop Solara An-Ra teaches all the fundamental principles of channelling - what it is & why you would want to practise it, different types of guides and their purpose, the role of the angels in connecting you with higher dimensional beings & how to use discernment in connecting with non-physical beings, ensuring that only high vibrational guides are able to connect with you.
On an experiential level the group will practise techniques to activate the third eye & integrate the left and right brain hemispheres to facilitate channelling; plus posture & preparation steps to ensure safety and high level guidance.

We are creators, whose challenge right now is to heal ourselves and our Mother Earth in order to step into the New Age of Light!

Is it just me or do 90% of the people that posted on here write as if they are drunk?
Whether or not you believe that the position and relationship of the sun, moon, stars, and planets has any bearing on your personality, you probably still know what your astrological sign is.
The zodiac contains twelve constellations and is divided into twelve equal segments. Each astrological sign represents one of the segments. The signs are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.
These are signs that we're all familiar with, even if we don't know what each represents. For example, are you caring but moody? An astrologer might peg you to be a Cancer.
But it's likely that you've never heard of Ophiuchus.
The name of this large constellation means "serpent-bearer" in Greek. The ancient astronomer Ptolemy included Ophiuchus in his list of 48 constellations. (It used to be referred to as Serpentarius, which has the same meaning.) It is still one of the 88 modern constellations.
Standard astrological zodiacs do not include Ophiuchus.
However, a few astrologers who use a sidereal zodiac do consider it to be the 13th zodiacal sign. Simply put, the system of tropical astrology, the standard astrology, is tied to Earth's orientation to the solar system. Whereas, sidereal astrology relates to Earth's orientation to the galaxy.
And what personality traits might be linked to Ophiuchus? Give us your best guess.
Is it just me or do 90% of the people that posted on here write as if they are drunk?
my thoughts exactly
i m confused…..i think m a better sagittarius coz i hate d word jealously n destruction n 2 be frank i really dont want 2 b n ophiucus though i m….but i dont think i m dat much ophiocus..
Rihyaa Im legit the opposite of u execpt I can agree I hate da word jealousy normally when I go to a new school I find that I surround my self with powerful ppl and if someone pisses me off theres consequences.
So I think I'd relate alot to Ophiucus (sadly)
Same lol
Ppl may lugh as them want becuz they dnt tink using their head
Hi. I am a ophiuchus Um I was born 11dec. Always thought I was a sagg but was more in tune with scorp. Iv ad out of body experiences. I also ad a vision of the end of this world as we know it. I also walked on the beach of heaven with the man Jesus who I now know as the Saviour of the world. Ppl can laugh all they want. I know the truth wat apnd to me & iv also seen demons including melted witches faces & evn a demon in my sister! I also saw a giant snake in the sky. Ever since I was littl I culd see spirits. Um im an Australian Aborigine so I jus thawt it was all part of my culture but none of my ppl experience these things. I also seen the spirit of a nun wen I was 7yrs old & she beckoned me to come to her with her hand but I wuldnt I was too fritened. So with all this I av to set the record straight right ere now! We are spirit beings living inside a physical body. Simple as that!!!!!
Omg same! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus is our savior. He will save us all from your Sinner sister!!!!!
ahem, 13 unlucky number snake animal the devil possesed to trick adam and eve
I was born on 11 dec too and there're something strange were happened to me too.
Dec 26th – January 19 is where it sits
Wow i think u r giftd by God
I believe in e'ry thing u said. and I think millions would want to hear more about ur gift!
As an Australian Aboriginal I would stick with the old ways of your people read the signs to determine the seasons to go where you need to go to get the food in the water if not dump the old ways and hook up with a bunch of freaking Aussie shrimp burners and learn the white man's way
I think that maybe the traits of Ophiuchus could be braveness, boldness, and calmness.
I think ophiuchus traits is good. Cause I'm a ophiuchus now!
Perhaps I am wrong, but I didn't see it mentioned anywhere that symbol that represents Ophiuchus is used by the Medical profession. It is the symbol known as Cadeusceus… and used by the ancient Egyptians… It has wings on the top of a sword and two snakes entwined around the sword. And as for the astrology matching up with the 12 calendar months.. originally there were only 10 months, so they added in January from Janus (the two- faced roman god) one looking back and the other looking forward. Fitting for the first month of the year.
February, was named forfebrua meaning month of purification and offerings.
March was named after the Roman god of war Mars.
September, the Romans introduced the Julian calendar, they retained several month names from their old Roman calendar, despite the fact that these months no longer had the same position on the calendar. Thus, September, once the Roman seventh month of the year, deriving from the Latin septem, " seven", remained as the ninth month of the year.
QPB Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins By Robert Hendrickson
October – Latin, the ninth month of the primitive Roman calendar, which began in March, fr. octo eight: cf.F. Octobre.
1. The tenth month of the year, containing thirty-one days.
2. Ale or cider made in that month.
The country gentlemen had a posset or drink they called October.
Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)
The Ninth moth. The ancient Romans calculated the begining of their year in March. Hence they named the ninth month novembris or november. November and Novembris were derivatives of latin novem "nine."
Source: Dictionary of Word Origins by John Ayto
This month is named after the Roman word Deca meaning 10. In the original Roman calendar there were only 10 months.
..And there are Good and Bad traits in every star sign.. I guess ultimately it is up to the individual if they choose to believe in it or not.
I agree but ur to live in the pointless forest! Simply cuz' your conclusion to proper knowledge is interestingly fair to correct!:)… Although plea don't let us carrie on reading nonsense without a punchline!!! Geez loo and peteS !!!! But enjoyed ur useless book of education thank signing off-
ok, for one just cause its a snake bearing zodiac, does not mean we act in a snake like fashion, think outside the box. For years cultures use snakes for various meditation, some have used them for hunting, they use there scales a make camouflage, and so much more… what if it is not another zodiac sign,,, but maybe its a sign Maybe the snake is just that, a reminder of times ahead,,, its not for one person, or just a group, it is for everyone to see. To remind us that these times of sorrow and death, war, hunger. The snake tells us to use its, cunning, and steadiness, agility. the right to gain purpose, and life, no fear of anything that may come forth, the will to live is strong,,, it is up to you to apply it
The Ophiuchus sign a man holding a snake signifys to me one who is the bairer of healimg knowlage , and a man struggling with the snake is one who is struggling with their own self knowlage. This person wants to offer good knowlage. But does not always know the best way to go about it. This person may also become fustated with the way people approach their problems in life. They may come off as a know it all ,any they'd may offend the people they are trying to help. Good intentioned. Hlepful. Tactful. Pateint.Gatful tward teachers for their help, but they may will still try to formulate their own opinion. The person make for a good parent.
Wow, I tried to add another post but it wouldn't let me, and I really don't feel like typing it again….
I do know that there is much more than your Sun sign. There are planets, aspects, and transits, nodes to consider, progressions but I definitely feel this is true. Another thing, the axis has shifted gradually over time, so why would everything else stay in place. If the position of the axis changed then everything else should change accordingly. One does not become exempt just because you want it too. Sometimes having an open mind will bring you further along.
Since Ophiuchus is located between Scorpio and Sagittarius, the traits would most likely be a combination of the two. Maybe a deep a thinker like the Scorpio but perhaps more fun-loving? Or maybe a bit happy-go-lucky like a Sagittarius but perhaps more cautious?
That makes sense. My birthday is November 28, but they say if you're on the cusp then you receive traits from both signs, or if your sign is located around the last degree of a particular house, interpretation would be for the next house. I feel in this situation the above is definitely me. I vicariously like to weed out all the evil, (snake barrier) and I do it as if it's no problem. I have been that way all my life, never afraid of confrontation, especially if the cause is justified (very Sagittarius) I'm very sensitive but that's probably b/c of my moon in Pisces, but despite, since this sign lands in between the two, I do believe he/she would be highly intuitive and spiritual as I am. Since I am witty, yet very resourceful, and a great researcher as I can never put anything knowledgeable down. I never get any sleep b/c all I do is research. It's insane….something struck me and told me to start digging again and I ended up on this topic. I've heard of people talking about this, but always thought I was above the conversation, it wasn't until later that I realized this must be researched. And I really do believe that that is the case and that my bf is really a Virgo.
I am also charming, magnetic and have a great sense of humor. Wow, that sounds like I'm bragging, but honestly it fits.
* You wouldn't want to know the negative sides, haha!
And my ex's friend used to call me a snake…? LoL!
Hey, my birthday is November 28th as well. And I'm kinda upset because trait-wise, I am more an Ophiuchus/Serpentarius. I'm definitely not a Scorpio. I suppose the 28th is on the cusp, but not the right one for me. I think I should be Serpentarius on the cusp of Sagittarius. I am a Healer, a massage therapist, a writer, a poet, a musician, and a philosopher. I make jewelry, bodycare products, herbal remedies and do crafts. I seek Wisdom avidly (as well as Understanding). While I thought myself to be a Sagittarius, only the trait of Philosopher seemed to stick. Some of the other traits were there, but they weren't UP THERE in my opinion. Whereas the list of traits for Serpentarius actually SPOKE to me. Don't destroy my dreams, by not allowing me into being a Serpentarius, because I'm ONE day off. (Some of my dry humor! I think maybe I need to complain to an astrologer! ;).
Hi I was also born on 28th November, I always thought I was a sag until I found out the I'm a scorpio. It's too good to be true because I am exactly like a scorpio but in all these years never read what their personality traits are like. that fact I'm born on the cusp of Ophiuchus and I am currently going through a saturn return in scorpio (sidereal astrology) I have seriously considered a career change to go back to school to study medicine, which is something that Ophiuchus represents.
You are born on the cusp, you are a scorpio with possible serpentarian traits. The cusp is the 29th.
You sound like a scorpio or sagittarius, or maybe just a human like the rest of us. November 28 is not even the cusp, 29th is. You are not ophiucus. It's ok. However we all have ophiucus traits as women, if you have truly done your research then you will understand.
Goofy people. You're forgetting that we(most of us) are all born on Earth. That is WHY we are born under these twelve signs. The Earth too was born at some point in time at some point in the universe. Under its OWN zodiac. The final zodiac is like the final gear in a transmission- it drives all the other gears. It is like a "mother" zodiac as the other twelve are born from it. Dont forget the Earth has thoughts,feelings, AND a physical body just as we do. It lives.
finally….this sign has been around for millions of years..but the dark took it out to keep you blinded…. this 13th sign represents the serpent also 13=LOVE…… (serpent in the garden wasnt evil but was truth) serpent=all knowledge….after all these years its now coming back to its rightful place………. justice is good indeed……thanx christed one….for speaking in parables that the chosen few would understand what you was doing……..nuthing is never evil under the sun…….be bless from the inner god within you all……
how do you even pronounce this word? it's crazy how they are just able to add and change the zodiac signs! where does it all come from anyway? now im wondering is it all a joke? something to just do? a hobbie? what can someone please let me know because i am very confused!
[...] There really is a 13th Zodica sign named Ophiuchus [...]
I also found this nice page that tells a lot of things:
I just wanna know, what is my new ruling planet? I was born on December 3.
Well I guess I'm suddenly an Ophiuchus now (December 8th) after living 24 years as a Sagittarius. Honestly, do we not have a say-so in this?
Ophiuchus may be pronounced as "Oh-Figh-Uh-Cuss" or "Oh-Fee-Uh-Cuss", depending on the i in the name if pronounced like "Delphi" (Dell-Fee) or the i in "Minos" (My-Nose).

Ophiuchus: Tendency to prey on other's vanity, and deceicve them with semantics. Perhaps too Miltonian?
the people born under Ophiuchus will all like peanut butter…
From the The Elder Scrolls (Morrowind and Oblivion games):
"The Serpent wanders about in the sky and has no Season, though its motions are predictable to a degree. No characteristics are common to all who are born under the sign of the Serpent. Those born under this sign are the most blessed and the most cursed."

Also interresting to note, is that the Celtic zodiac has 13 signs, or animal totems:
Stag/Deer (Dec.24-Jan.20) – Capricorn (The Goat-And-Shark)
Cat (Jan.21-Feb.17) – Aquarius (The Waterbearer)
Adder/Snake (Feb.18-Mar.17) – Piches (The Fishes)
Fox/Vixen (Mar.18-Apr.14) – Aries (The Ram)
Cow/Bull (Apr.15-May12) – Taurus (The Bull)
Seahorse (May13-Jun9) – Gemini (The Twins)
Wren (Jun.10-Jul.7) – Cancer (The Crab)
Horse (Jul.8-Aug.4) – Leo (The Lion)
Fish/Salmon (Aug.5-Sep.1) – Virgo
Swan (Sep.2-Sep.29) – Libra (The Scales of Balance)
Butterfly (Sep.30-Oct.27)
Wolf/Hound (Oct.28-Nov.24) – Scorpio (The Scorpion)
Falcon/Hawk (Nov.25-Dec.23) – Saggitarius (The Centaur)
If you search for self-knowledge by only looking at the Sun, you will see only a part of the mystery that is you. Don't forget the Moon and Ascendant. The Sun is your outer self, as the world sees you; the Moon is your inner self, as you know yourself; and the Ascendant is how you put yourself forth, in actions and deeds.
We can go on to say that it is almost equally vital to know your Mars and Venus signs. Mars is how you move and speak; Venus, how you love and take IN life.
Searching Saturn, you will know what you need to work on in this life; and in knowing Chiron, you could understand your special weakness, and help yourself overcome it.
You will find facinating things by discovering yourself in the other planets aswell: Jupiter, planet of Luck; Pluto, planet of Transformations; Neptune, Uranus, Mercury planet of the Mind, and Eros (your sexual side).
(Note: In astrology even a mere asteroide is termed a 'Planet', I suppose, for simplicity)
Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?
Love you!
According to Michael Dadona I may be an Ophiuchus.
just another con trying to steal from the older and more established asian cultur
How to adjust to becoming an Ophiuchus? http://bit.ly/igXJVO
Ok so i was a little off. when i said that we have 12 planets in our solar system, i didnt mean we have 12 planets. we only have 6. but there are 12 symbolized home planets used for the signs. They are the all the planets (besides earth), ths sun , the moon, and pluto. I thought earth was used in place of the sun but i was wrong. However, the sign Ophiuchus still cant be a zodiac sign. If each of the 12 home planets is used once, and The sun already taken by leo, Ophiuchus still has no element. If added, it would still make the Perfect 12 a imperfect 13.
Ophiuchus, although a astrological sign, is NOT a zodiac sign. As it would be the 13th sign, it was discarded because of its relationship to the number 13. Also, 12 is a perfect, round number that is divisible by 4 AND 3. this means it can divide into the 4 elements(fire, earth, water, and air) and the 3 qualities(mutable,fixed and cardinal.) although some say it is under the fire element and the ruling planet is the sun, i can not agree with this. In mythology, fire is rarely linked to healing, the trait of Ophiuchus. Also, the sun is not a planet, it is a star. We only have 12 planets in our solar system as pluto is no longer a planet. Since a Constelation must have a ruling planet to be a zodiac sign, Ophiuchus is not a zodiac sign. Its pretty to look at though
I'd think that since the sign is for a serpent bearer, and not the serpent itself that the expected characteristics are as clear as a bell.
Used car sales MANAGER
New car sales MANAGER
Political Campaign MANAGER
President of the local Bar Association
Managing partner of any law firm
What all these characteristics have in common is that they manage or manipulate the snakes.
There may be other characteristics, but these are the ones that come to mind immediately,
Anyone who would believe that their personality and/or moods come from differnet atmosphere positioning should check their mental status. I am supposively a Gemini, so you are telling me that everyone that was born within certain days are the same? yeah right!
Serpent-bearer…Hmmm. One who carries a snake carries the mark of a snake. To carry one without incurring death from its bite means you have an immunity to its venom. Thus, you may be one who meddles in affairs most would deem too dangerous to do so. You may need cunning, courage and a sly tongue to search your way through your snares, and you may have developed a camoflauge of sorts in society so as to hide your true nature. Being a serpent-bearer means you also must be above serpents themselves, so you can go good or bad, and you know how serpentine personalities work and may use them at your advantage or disperse them.
@mona I'll post them in the morning, I'm SUPER exhausted right now. But congrats on being an Ophiuchii/Serpentarius…and my birthday is December 8th, so your birthday is right beside mine! ;D
Symbolic its a the rod of a healer, and the Snake Charmer.. which to me, is a person, that is NOT the Snake as some may say think it is.. this person hold the card of life and death.. Like a doctor !
i've known about this for some time, as I am the type to dig into the meaning and reasoning for things. the differences in the acknowledged zodiac and how they actually correspond to todays coordinates is peculiar as others have mentioned. the fact that there are 52 weeks and only 12 months doesnt make much sense… ultimately, i'm convinced we'll find modern religions were derived from these types of astrological observations as well.
djinn tell me the negatives as well I happen to fall on Dec 9 and am one!
Guess they want to match the Chinese Zodiac. Which also has a snake. But doesn't really grant the power of invisibility.
I left out the negative traits of Ophiuchus…they're quite unpleasant, to say the least.
passionate, profound, powerful
audacious, attractive, addictive
clever, cultured, curious
intense, intellectual, intuitive
impulsive, indulgent, imaginative
seductive, sophisticated, spiritual
restless, rebellious, … up for anything
loves travel, literature, music, dining, and fashion
are masters of written and spoken word and are able to tell people what they want, like, and need to hear
are irrevocably devoted once in love
are mysterious and charming, have penetrating eyes, and are unbearably sexually magnetic
have a passion for law, medicine, religion, and philosophy
loves freedom, unusual ideas, and flirting
achieves status, prestige, and wealth
are psychics and interpreters of dreams that have vivid premonitions and are magnets for the occult
attracts good luck and receives the favor of those in authority
brings people together, belongs to multiple groups of friends, and is the life of the party
achieves highest fame, notoriety, and legend after death, is made to be a celebrity in their own right, and figuratively and literally reaches for the stars
the numbers one, eight, and twelve hold great significance
People born under Ophiuchus are extremely curious souls, also extremely jealous at times, rebellious, a sexual magnet, very open to change. I am a Ophiuchus and proud of it! If Ophiuchus doesn't exist, well then I fall under no sign. Sagittarius fits me to the least, and I was born on the 15th of December. I refuse to say that this "lost sign" doesn't exist, to the fact that I fit perfectly under Ophiuchus (aka Serpentarius). Also Pisces and the Serpent Holder are soul mates.
Yoyo on November 16, 2010 at 6:58 pm
Honestly, in my opinion, he sounds more like the overly logical Aquarius…
We aquarius's are not overly locgical thank you very much!!!!!!!!
Snake is the demon chicanery in Adam and Eve..13th is unlucky number.
And the symbol is the same as the Rod of Asclepius http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_of_Asclepius
The date of the Ophiuchus is ~~~ OPHIUCHUS December 1 – December 18 ~~~
@Triple M what do you mean yum??? lolxz……..Happy Thanksgiving everyone!♥♥♥♥
@Joseph yes you are a scorpio….I know because I am a Scorpio **NOV.6** But I think it's from Oct.21 or the 24 to Nov.22!!!!!
ACtually have heard of it…:)
I was born 22 November. 6:30 morning.
I am Scorpio, aren't I?
YoYo, don't you think "real astronomers" are just a mith? Like UFO's…
L.T and poopy – I may not be analytical, but it is not a concern of mine really.
erzulie, – So, I am not a Gemini, you have just offended the geminies by sorting me in. (LOL)
chombu, – I am not Aquarius either, maybe I never want to be so free spirited as you are.
Thanks for the opinions.
It doesn't make much sense to me that there should be a 13th zodiac sign. The 12 signs correspond to the 12 months of the lunar calendar. If a zodiac sign is added, shortening the length of all the signs, it would completely mess up the way they correspond to the lunar months. There is no 13th month, except on leap years, as Mo Cheeks pointed out. The month corresponding to Pisces, being the last month on the lunar calendar, is repeated. It works fine that way; having a special month for leap years is too much.
(An added benefit to the repetition of the last lunar month is that anyone born then can celebrate his birthday thrice – once on the standard solar calendar and twice on the lunar calendar.)
Concerning pronunciation:
According to my Encarta dictionary, it's pronounced o-fee-OO-kəss. The first o is like the o in pot. The double o is like in pool. And just in case the last vowel doesn't show up – it's a schwa.
I dont believe that Joseph is an Aquarius. Aquarians are more free spirited than that. I should know I am one
more accurate zodiac, please.
Don't you DARE say Joseph is a Gemini.
I like to believe the majority of us Gemini aren't so blind to the fact that real astrologers use plenty of math and intellect (so wouldn't you think they'd be smart enough by now to RECALCULATE according to the planets positions?). It takes a real metaphysical numbness and blindness to miss something as obvious as the aforementioned.
Honestly, in my opinion, he sounds more like the overly logical Aquarius…
But I digress.
I like Davids answer. X-D
i noticed one posting about the correlation between 2012 and this constellation. the reason behind this, should anyone care, is because ophiuchus lies from our line of sight directly in front of the center of our galaxy. the big deal (or not so big deal if you are not a doomsayer) about 2012 is that on december 22 2012 the earth and the sun and the center of the galaxy will be in perfect alignment. or in other words you will be able to draw a straight line from the earth, through the sun, and straight into ophiuchus, onward through to the center of the galaxy. the mayans were very adept astronomers and recognized this convergence as a very rare and significant event. end of the world though? i sincerely doubt it.
.., it is verry interesting i Like it verry much..
Hmm…..Sounds like Dick Cheney Betty Crocker type….Oh, never mind,…thats Martha Stewart.
OPHIUCHUS = OFEE-UK-US… There now you can say it.
A serpent is a slippery character who attempts to win your approval then quietly drugs your drink, robs your possessions, then strangles you before leaving.
What? You thot I was talking about our representatives in congress? Yep, Right Arm!!!!!
Also people who are Aquarius, i'm not sure but heared it means those people are shy, don't really have patients, loves to be alone, loves to be in the water and is a very strong person. It's weird i hate the water, i can't swim, but the rest is so true about me. If i'm wrong about any of this will someone please tell me???
I'm Aquarius( I was born January the 21) and it's really cool to learn what these things are. I have learned that Aquarius means thw great one, shy lover, the pourer of water that covered the earth, and the cup-bearer of the gods.I also would like to know what the monthes would be of Ophiuchus.
It is the sign for snake-oil salesmen.
In the seventh grade, I wrote a story with the title 'Ophioukhos.' It was about a boy who lived on an island, the sole sentient inhabitant other than an ancient, reclusive serpent. The boy spent the entirety of the story trying to coerce the recalcitrant snake into biting him (in order to circumnavigate the stigma he self-ascribed to suicide).
Early one morning, a rescue ship appeared on the horizon. The serpent realized then that he was afraid of being alone, and had acted selfishly by refusing to kill the boy. So, of course, he crept into the boy's tent in the wee hours of the dawn to deliver the boy to a merciful death.
All very banal and jejune in retrospect, but I remember being quite pleased with myself at the time.
Is this mystery dude a snake or a snake wrangler?
@Addison Gast – Soooooo funny!
@Tegan – some had to say it, right?
@ some of the reat of you, primarily Michael Dadona… huh? I personally like the Chinese Zodiac where everyone born in a certain year is the same – much easier to keep track of than this whole "people change by what month they were born in" stuff. Plus, when I go to a Chinese Buffet, I get that right on my placemat, and a fortune cookie to boot! Talk about being certain of my future – can you get any more sure than that?!
Well idk about there being 13 till now…All I knew was tht imma SCORPIO
so thts all i paid attention too!!!! thnx fo tha info dictionary.com!!!!!
Really now, analytical?
I'll bet Joseph is a Gemini
Ophiuchus is not included in standard astrological zodiacs, which divide the ecliptic into abstract 30-degree segments (implying exactly 12 signs) rather than using the physical constellations. However, a few astrologers using a sidereal zodiac use it as the 13th zodiacal sign.
I would guess that they would be introverts and have a need for alone time. I would also guess that they have difficulty with intimate relationships. I am just guessing. I do have to say that I am intrigued. I would love to know more.
In astronomy the constellation is between Scorpio and Sagittarius and the sun is in the constellation from November 30th to December 17th
an upgraded Scorpio, even more strong, more not taking jack shyte off anybody, and even more hornier than ever, also has ability to fly short distances and give women orgasms by looking them in the eye
…And where do we find those with THOSE traits?
i think it could be closely related to accurate predictions…..u know…like saying things before they're happening…..or in short, ppl with gr8 6th sense!!!
i have to give it to joseph. very analytical thinking indeed
the pronunciation is O-phEE-uh-kus.
Someone who falls under a sign of Gemni in the tropical zodiac is Taurus
in the sidereal zodiac. One of Taurus traits is reportedly said to give and take.
This is very interesting. I'm fascinated with all things that have to do with stars, constellations, and zodiacs.
The traits of someone who is an Ophiuchus, would obviously have snake-like qualities. For example, I think they would be seductive and thoroughly convincing, like the serpent who tricked Eve into eating the apple. They would also be very clever, sharp, quick to anger and quick to strike-out, but defensive due to fear of others. Tamable through patience.
If you were born under the sign of ophiuchus, then it means you will become an alcoholic.
What a great resource!
what makes the zodiac true? for example, i am a libra, and i am the complete opposite of shallow, frivolous, and flirtatious. i am always serious about my work and self responsibilities and also have high expectation in my "significant other." So my question is, what makes the zodiac a reliable source and why someone even care if there a thirteenth zodiac sign?
1. Is that because there are 26,000 years in the axial precession, and 2000 per 'zoo-diac sign'?
2. Is it related to the serpentine galaxy-edge-view that crosses the ecliptic at a steep angle?
We should have more explanation of this….
3. Ptah created the 'zodiac' for his own first-lineage family to keep track of millennial time: 'Predestination' is only for Ptah's first-lineage, not the general public…which is why it's sometimes called 'occult' etc….
Astrology is superstitious rubbish. It would literally be more accurate to appraise a human's personality based on what the person ate for breakfast. 'Hmm, well you wear red shoes and white socks. Of course, yes, of course. You have difficulty with authority and commiting to romantic relationships.'
I tend to agree with Courtney,as a snakelike pesonality and as you are asking us to guess, you could consider the fact that the number 13 is considered unlucky i.e. no 13th floor,etc.. But astrology is not based on religion–catholicism, jewisim, muslimism. Nobody has posted anything I can actually disagree with ( you asked us to guess), but I tend to go with the snake is the serpent, that was made to slither on its' belly the rest of its' days and breathe dirt and dust. Perhaps the Hindu religion equates the snake with something good but I can't recall the snake representing good in any spiritual gendre. So I look upon this 13th zodiacal sign as something not good. Why do astrologers (most) leave it out? Is it because it is the number 13, which (perhaps factual) superstition has ingrained(forming a part of the essence or inmost being) in us to avoid?
Pisces ★ Aries ★ Taurus ★ Gemini ★ Cancer ★ Leo ★ Virgo ★ Libra ★ Scorpius ★ Ophiuchus ★ Sagittarius ★ Capricorn ★ Aquarius are the 13 zodiac symbols.
it's interesting. There are 13 signs on the Mayan and Aztec calenders. The snake is a symbol of death, betrayal, doom, etc. According the Egyptians, the snake stands for Aphosis, embodiment of chaos. In Greek mythology, the snake was a symbol of doom: drakons, hydras, dracanae, etc. The leap year day (Feb. 29) is the only day of the Ophiuchus. Ophiuchus(Ὀφιοῦχος- greek) is the serpent bearer.
Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophiuchus for more info.
serpent-BEARER, not serpent itself, guys.
THE serpent bearer was the first healer:
"November 30 – December 17 ~ Ophiuchus is the 13th sign of the zodiac. Unlike the other 12 signs is actually associated with a real person. In the 27th Century BCE in Ancient Egypt lived a man known as Imhotep. Imhotep was known as 'Aesclepius' by the Ancient Greeks, however the attributes are the same under either name.
One of Imhoteps abilities was healing and it is said that it was he who introduced it to mankind. His accomplishments also included a wide knowledge of medicine. The serpent or snake symbol which is still used today to symbolize the medical profession was also used to represent Imhotep."
The astrologers say whatever they say, and it is the imagination of the "believer" that makes the statements plausible and makes them "meaningful". The brain likes to trick its own self. Of course, my brain as well…
In the media, clever-cunning journalists do the writing. They re-edit age-old psychological pieces of advice, hence contributing to the self-awareness of followers throughout the day. And that may be very positive sometimes.
The zodiac (horoscope) shows the location of the Sun against the constellations that we call zodiacal. The zodiacal constellations are the ones that the Sun passes through in a year's time. Thirteen such modern constellations are placed along the visible path of the Sun. Astrologers predict personal traits according to the positions TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO. In the meantime the constellations moved ahead one month. So,for ex. Pisces is not Pisces anymore. Astrologists, on the other hand, did not "move ahead". So, their analysis are mare phantasm, "a load of insanities"…
Addison Gast, so funny, cute and creative!
But what, for the life of me, is: "… the incunab(u)lum of time … from the galetic neighborhood of Vellicate"? Is this a case of "supercalifragilous de expiealidocieous nonsensicalosity"?
A snake bears more positive images among non-Christian cultures as are healing, messengers of gods, ressurection, fertility, and interracial marriage: It is a driving force of life that comes to the front rather than temptation of evil although a snake is surely not as a cuddly pet as a puppy to most of humanity.
The traits of Ophiuchus have been absorbed over the years into the modern English word "officious".You will find Ophiuchusii mostly working at governmental offices, especially regulatory and tax collection agencies, and the courts where their traits may shine.
Like their reptilian zodiac mascot, they find positions in our society where they lie in wait to victimize, poison and strangle the next victim. You will find them usually in dens together where they attack their victims (happy and productive people of the other twelve signs)either individually or by swarming. They are incapable of reason or morals. Only force and threat are used to communicate. In instances where they do sound reasonable, it is only for the purpose of putting a potential victim at ease.
This sign is also incapable of creating or producing anything of value to society and survive by extraction of life and energy from victims which they organize in to groups for this purpose, creating long lines of bored and agitated victims.
It is appropriate that they are 13th sign of the zodiac, since they are just plain bad luck all around.
I do not think one's personalities has anything to do with astrological sign .
If you are born under the influence of Ophiuchus your major trait is that you do not believe in astrology. Why is anyone surprised that astrologers do not write predictions for them?
I bet it means that you will be in slitherin if you ever get into Hogwarts indicating that you are most probably parseltoung
a traitor, that's because its a serpent and snakes are traitor, that's why we have the saying "snake on a grass" =)
Ophiuchus personality: either venomous or asphyxiating.
slimey, slippery and treacherous but can be perceived to be a smooth talker
with an ulterior motivebut ultimately is just a snake in grass/cosmos
[...] OPHIUCUS is related to the Galaxy we're told in some "sidereal" mythological system that is sold — and charted from the day you're born and what's to come generally everyday — For Heaven's sake we all know our Galaxy is the Milky Way — To be born under the sign of Serpentine Chocolate – an addiction hunting for prey. –>>Rupert L.T.Rhyme [...]
Personality traits:

- A desire to kill wizards name Harry
- Eating death
- Making horcruxes
- Killing Dumbledore
- Etc.
I pity those who don't understand.
I just looked up more info on this- the Zodiac we know, according to this "alternative zodiac" is completely off kilter- I am a Leo, but under the alternative zodiac, a Cancer. (Which actually fits me better, if you want my opinion. I'm very un-Leolike.) Anyway, the Ophiucus's birthday would fall between November 30 and December 17th.
Ignore the above post of 21th November, it's between Nov 30th and Dec 17th. :3
If I'm not wrong it was 21th November, between Scorpio and Sagittarius.
Fangs a lot for that info!
Someone born under Ophiuchus is smooth and cool, but a lot of people think they're slimy.
OMG~ nvr heard of this at all… Guess nobody's zodiac sign is this!
No-brainer—Ophiuchus was the young partner of Andy Grifin and loved to fish. Andy called him "Opy" for short.
An Ophiuchus is one that makes movies about esoteric ignominious Hollywood people like Lindsey Lohan, Downey Jr, and Lady Ga-Ga. They all belong to the 13th astro symbol, "snakey-joe" and design tattos for the living dead like Andy Rooney on 60 minutes and Dave Leterman. Somewhere in the incunablum of time, a ophiuchus offended the alien Vader from the galetic neighborhood of Vellicate and has been doomed to provide unanswerable questions to AOL viewers for eternity.
Yep! Thats whatta opy is fer sure.
In the sidereal zodiac, I am Sagittarius not Capricorn, that is a whole lot a differece regarding its personal traits. And its star is Jupiter, not Saturn.
A sidereal zodiac is more accurate than a tropical zodiac, some say.
Ophiuchus…probably pronounced like "oh-fee-oo-choos" (that's just an educated guess concerning how it would be pronounced in Latin). Ophiuchus is technically under the domain of Sagittarius, seeing that if one were an Ophiuchus, one would have been born between November 29 and December 18th. So you could consider yourself either a Sagittarius or Serpentarius.
i suppose one would have personality traits relating to that of Asclepius, the original serpent-bearer (??)
if each zodiac stands for a certain month such as Gemini-June, Sagittarius-December..what month is Ophiuchus?
And for pronunciation? off-ih-YOU-kuss
How 'bout this? The Lunar calendar adds a month every leap year, rather than the 1 day in Feb. for the Solar calendar. Instead of there being two months in a row for Pisces, maybe that's where it would fit in?
Since Ophiuchus is located between Scorpio and Sagittarius, the traits would most likely be a combination of the two. Maybe a deep a thinker like the Scorpio but perhaps more fun-loving? Or maybe a bit happy-go-lucky like a Sagittarius but perhaps more cautious?
Hey, that topic you're writing about is very strange and interesting. wat is a Ophiuchus anyway
My guess would be: business-minded, shrewd & honest, but calculating & cold
Ophiuchi are generally quiet and averse to chewing their food.
Ha-ha, very funny. We make up for chewing with our ability to swallow things whole. Whether it be the whole idea, or the hole of the galaxy…
Personality traits linked to Ophiuchus? hmmmm….Maybe this person is very charming, charismatic, but processes the art of deceiving.
Personality traits…hm. Maybe it's all of the personality traits of every zodiac combined? I'm not sure, just guessing.
That one I've heard before. It also has something to do with 2012, or something.
Someone who has snake-like characteristics, slippery, coniving, manipulative, and who lies, kind of like my exhusband.
I reckon seeming as it is a serpent… It would be someone that is perhaps slightly greedy, impulsive and quick-witted. Those are the anthropomorphic themes I would associate with e serpent.
To me, it looks like astrologers generally associate a person born under a particular sign with that animal or other being's personified traits. For example someone born under the Taurus sign would probably be associated with physical strength or tenacity by an astrologer. This leads me to hypothesize that someone born under the Ophiuchus sign would possess personified serpentine qualities. For example, said person could be linked with conniving and traitorous qualities. However, one must always bear in mind that what I set before you is mere conjecture. Also, the fact of whether or not one believes in astrology is an entirely different matter altogether. I do not want to invite disorder to the post through potential arguments, so let it suffice to say that I do not believe astrology, I simply find the topic interesting.
As you asked for "Give us your best guess" about personality traits might be linked to Ophiuchus?
As it's said as the 13th zodiacal sign, Ophiuchus carries the numerical value for 13. From your above statement "Standard astrological zodiacs do not include Ophiuchus", my guess work is to include it in my counting system by adding the numerical value of 12 and 13.
Where 12 represents "Standard astrological zodiacs" and 13 is for Ophiuchus;
12 + 13 = 25; therefore, 2 + 5 = 7.
Skilled at analysis and research, an intelligent seeker of knowledge, scientific and inventive, studious, meditating, charming personality and demeanor, love of solitude and peace, a perfectionist.
Hidden motives and suspicions, overly reserved, arguments enjoined with silence or sarcasm, isolated, inflexible positions, overly upset by distractions.
Ophiuchus might relate to traits like patient, focused, selfish and clever.
I live in Greece and we heard about Ophiuchus several years ago. Some astrologers even included predictions for it in their predictions, but now it has been largely abandoned. Just because it is a constellation, doesn't mean it is a sign as well. It coincides with part of Scorpio and, if you consider it a sign, it leaves Scorpio half. If it were to be a sign, it should be equal to all other 12 signs.
So what dates of birth include Ophiuchus?
sexual and spiritual transcendence, an expanded awareness, sensitivity to energy, vibrational rate increasing to higher frequencies, increased non-physical understanding, knowing and communication.. identifiable energy shifts, expansion and spiritual growth..
provocative, edggy, hard-nosed, forthcoming, artful, extrasensory, and trickly cute. And an affable voice.
Whoops sorry I meant I'm no expert on astrology, see having carpel tunnel plagued fingers isn't all that fun… Dang you WoW…
Well I'm expert on astrology, load of insanity that it is. However I think maybe sneaky or devious,caring, wise? Easily skinned for accesories? Okay that last one was a joke.
Any guesses on pronunciation? Regardless, I love the topic. Is there any more information on the subject?
I would say very smart, quiet, quick thinking, and very cool and collected, but sometimes striking out…. Stands up for oneself…. Physically, very strong…. Probably comes between Scorpio (who sometimes has the energy of the gray lizard) and Sagittarius, who loves to travel and move…. A very spiritual one….
An individual holding a snake, especially in an ancient context, of course suggests healing, especially of the 'alternative' type, or its opposite. In a more modern context it suggests those who interact on a broader level with the environment, positively or negatively, and its increasingly endangered species. Is it not synchronicitous that this represents the 'blind spot,' even in the relatively alternative field of astrology, the forgotten constellation?
In which interval would a person have to be born, to fall under the influence of this sign?
So does Ophiuchus link up with a certain time period, then, in this sidereal zodiac?

The Hopes and Ambitions of Hillary Rodham Clinton
By Jeff Gerth and Don Van Natta Jr.
Little Brown. 438 pp. $29.99
Three decades have passed since Carl Bernstein wrote his last book on U.S. politics, The Final Days, co-authored with Bob Woodward. But he has not lost his reporter's touch, and his new book, A Woman in Charge, has already refocused serious questions -- and supplied new information -- about Hillary and Bill Clinton, their past behavior and their current ambitions to regain the White House.
In Her Way, New York Times reporters Don Van Natta Jr. and Jeff Gerth have painted the couple's unprecedented duality of skill and ambition even more boldly. The Clintons, they claim, sought and planned for sequential power: eight years in the White House for him, then eight years for her. Whether the authors' evidence holds up -- denials have already been reported -- remains to be seen. Taken together, however, these two volumes foreshadow what may well become a central issue of the 2008 presidential campaign: In light of the endless deceits, interest-group baggage, messianic overtones and shameless money politics of the two Bush dynasts (presidents number 41 and 43), do American voters want to empower yet another dubious dynasty (Clinton presidents number 42 and 44)?
Van Natta and Gerth, while displaying no election sympathies, note that "for decades, Hillary and Bill Clinton, along with a core group of friends and supporters, have told one story. Now it is time for another." Bernstein, on the other hand, salts his pages with anti-Republican asides, and seems to believe in much of the Clinton philosophy, if not methodology.
If a common theme exists, it is that Hillary Clinton, who has been "first partner" and then "first lady," and often the iron fist of their joint success, now aims, with her husband's collaboration, to become the ultimate "woman in charge." To Van Natta and Gerth, this long-term plan has actually been set down on paper and confirmed by a former senior Clinton administration official. If these allegations hold up, such a pursuit of family power is unlikely to further her White House prospects.
Bernstein, despite his pro-Clinton infusions, pursues a similar theme: Bill and Hillary's shared political "journey" since the 1970s. In 2000, "Hillary was seeking not just a seat in the Senate, but redemption: hers, her husband's, and the Clinton presidency's." By 2007, after the "co-presidency" of 1993-2000, "Bill Clinton had become her biggest booster as, roles now reversed, the gears of the Clinton apparat shifted and another Clinton sought the presidency. He was now a constant presence in the background as her counsel, consultant, strategist, and, finally, the elemental part of her process as a woman in charge."
To underscore the nature of the teamwork, he quotes a number of Clinton friends and advisers -- David Gergen, Stan Greenberg and Dick Morris, among others -- describing how their personalities and talents have combined so effectively. Bill is the charismatic politician with a mind like a smorgasbord -- wide-ranging but sometimes unfocused; she is the strategist, enforcer and hard-charging combat seeker. As Dick Morris puts it: "She has a quality of ruthlessness, a quality of aggressiveness and strength about her that he doesn't have. A killer instinct. Her genre of advocacy is always straight ahead--fight, battle, take the fight to the other side. There's no subtlety, there's none of the nuance that he has." But Bill Clinton seems more dependent on his wife than vice-versa, and may suffer from what his longtime chief of staff Betsey Wright calls his "ongoing inferiority complex. . . . Bill Clinton has spent his whole life scared that he's white trash, and doing whatever he could to try to prove to himself that he isn't."
Both books take notice of the many Clinton ethical transgressions, with Bernstein concentrating on the years up to 1999. Van Natta and Gerth, who covered some of these stories for the New York Times, do well in cataloguing the couple's legal gamesmanship (both Clintons, remember, are lawyers) in episodes like the Whitewater land deal, Hillary's profitable commodity straddles, conflicts of interest at Little Rock's Rose law firm and other episodes. Bernstein notes that one of the reasons that Vice President Al Gore distanced himself from Clinton is "that he disapproved of Clinton's conduct . . . and the Clintons' ethical lapses."
Sexual scandals, both acknowledged and alleged, pervade both books. In retrospect, conservative charges were often correct, even though their procedures and motives were frequently tainted. If Hillary Clinton did not know exactly what her husband was up to with Paula Corbin Jones and Monica Lewinsky, she was well-acquainted with his modus operandi, and in her role as chief family strategist had taken the lead in dealing with the Gennifer Flowers scandal.
Sometimes she even interviewed women to get them to sign denials of having had sex with her husband. And the American public saw her dissemble in television appearances in 1992 and 1998, denying her husband's culpability with respect to Flowers and Lewinsky. If you credit the thrust of these two volumes, she was defending not just his presidency in these appearances but the possibility of her own.
Because Bernstein's book is 200 pages longer than Van Natta and Gerth's, he gets into much more detail, some of which suggests how pervasive -- in politics, law and policy -- the effects of Bill Clinton's libidinous misadventures may have been. To begin with, Hillary's influence over policy and personnel peaked when her husband needed her to defend him from sex-related charges, especially in 1992, 1993, 1998 and 1999. Dick Morris and historian Doris Kearns Goodwin both confirm the chronology. This helps to explain how Ms. Clinton could race ahead, unbridled, in 1993-94 with her disastrous health reform program. As for the Paula Jones scandal and "Troopergate," the potential illegalities had multiple dimensions. Bernstein's pages include references to troopers alleging that White House staffers had "strong-armed" sources to keep their mouths shut about Gov. Clinton's profligacies, while ex-Clinton chief of staff Betsey Wright told Bernstein that "there was no question that troopers had pulled women out of crowds for the governor at Bill's direction." The author surmises that a file on these and other matters kept secret at the Clinton's law firm because of attorney-client privilege might, if released, have been enough to bring Clinton down. On top of which, there is the insistence by Republicans on Capitol Hill that Clinton's mid-December 1998 bombing of Iraq to destroy supposed "weapons of mass destruction" was also timed to divert the nation's attention from the impeachment debate moving toward its climax in the House of Representatives. This is serious stuff, far beyond the harmless Ozark Casanova jokes.
Because most of Bernstein's book -- aside from a short final chapter -- is set prior to 2001, Van Natta and Gerth have the edge in looking at the presidential campaign Hillary Clinton has been forging in the last several years. A chapter called "The Mysteries of Hillaryland" explains that Hillaryland is shorthand for the separate power center she began developing in 1992, and that by now it has "eclipsed the empire built by the Kennedy clan. Today, no active political organization can match its depth, discipline or devotion . . . " Elsewhere, they underscore how much of her organization is run by women, how women dominate her crowds, and how much of her focus is on women voters.
Ironically, over the last decade, Hillary Clinton has generally botched the key issue in U.S. politics from the women's point of view: the war in Iraq. Bernstein gives Iraq no more than a handful of pages, but concludes that she took too long to understand what happened, and that "in regard to the gravest issue of the era," it would be "harder than ever to discern some of her principles." In Iraq, say Van Natta and Gerth, "her way" has gotten her into something of a quagmire, based in no small part on advice from her husband and the positions she was locked into by the actions -- including bombing raids and credulous reliance on WMD intelligence by an administration of which she was, to some degree, co-president. Van Natta and Gerth appear to fault her for not reading the full 2002 National Intelligence Estimate, given to senators, which began to note some of the growing number of caveats and dissents on Iraqi capabilities.
If George W. Bush has amplified his Republican dynasty's past excessive focus on Iraq, Hillary Clinton's position has been warped by miscalculations and vested interests lingering from her husband's presidency. As a result, say Gerth and Van Natta, her voting record on Iraq is "the most dangerous" obstacle to her nomination; "she was betting that her opponents -- and the voters -- wouldn't check the fine print."
In the past, domestic issues have been her cause, and according to a fascinating aside in Bernstein's pages, this may be because of her deep religious beliefs, namely her Methodist-based social activism. Some friends or aides cite a faith verging on the Messianic -- a missionary zeal, sometimes shading into arrogance. Others feel that her religion allows her to elevate loyalty to sinner Bill to an act of biblical proportion and to evoke "Joan of Arc, a martyr in the religious sense," which enables her to be a laudable victim. Given the extent to which George W. Bush has come under fire for statements that God wanted him to be president or that he is carrying out God's plans in the Middle East, Hillary Clinton's messianism may not sit well with the voters. Nevertheless, Bernstein probes it at length, and extends the discussion by discussing her flirtation during her White House years with gurus and New Age theologians who even led her in something resembling séances with Eleanor Roosevelt and Mahatma Gandhi.
Many who immerse themselves in the two volumes may feel that, despite Hillary Clinton's personal skills, the United States does not need another dynasty fueled by big money and entrenched deceit. But voters tend to forget the problems they had with Dynasty A once they become disillusioned with Dynasty B. Who'd have thought in 1992, for example, when George H.W. Bush's bid for a second term was defeated amid a weak economy, scandals and a feeling that the war with Saddam had been ended too soon, that eight years later the public would be ready to vote for his minimally experienced, Bible-quoting son? But by 2000, two terms of Clinton's sexual trespasses had made the Bushes look like a traditional-values family. Now seven years of growing national disenchantment with George W. Bush, perhaps the least competent president in modern history, may well lull the U.S. electorate into forgetting the many problematic aspects of the 1993-2001 Clinton regime. One hopes these probing books will serve as wake-up calls. ·

How can I pass field values through to PayPal?Asked by catalystgroup on June 09, 2016 at 03:34 PM
I have a small problem I could use some help on.
On my form, I have a section where the user may fill out up to four player names. The form returns the names correctly through the notification email, but the names are not passed through to PayPal. In the attached screen shot, Bob's name would be emailed with the notification email, but we would have to manually match up the PayPal receipt by price, people or time.
The problem is trying to match up notifications with multiple PayPal receipts when no names are present.
Any help here would be terrific.
Thank you,
JotForm Support
To my understanding, base on your example, you would like to have the name of Bob be included in the PayPal receipt so it would be easy for you to determine who is the payment for, is that correct?
I would like to apologize, from what I know, there is no way we can pass field information/data to PayPal so it will be easy to match those details to the receipts.
However, I still would ask for more information regarding your concern for us to check if there are other workarounds that we can use or do. I'm not sure, but I might be missing something.
We will wait for your response. Thank you.

Combined Immunodeficiency Disease
April 1, 2012 by staff
Combined Immunodeficiency Disease, Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), (also known as "Alymphocytosis," "Glanzmann-Riniker syndrome," "Severe mixed immunodeficiency syndrome," and "Thymic alymphoplasia") is a genetic disorder in which both "arms" (B cells and T cells) of the adaptive immune system are impaired due to a defect in one of several possible genes. SCID is a severe form of heritable immunodeficiency.
It is also known as the "bubble boy" disease because its victims are extremely vulnerable to infectious diseases and some of them, such as David Vetter, become famous for living in a sterile environment. SCID is the result of an immune system so highly compromised that it is considered almost absent.

You may have read in this tumblr post how I'm nervous about my tour and was contemplating what to wear, in magical fantasy dress land. WELL. Now I have FOUR
COSTUMES OUTFITS to wear on my tour, each an homage to my book cover! My pal Susan hooked me up with a custom dressmaker, who was then furnished with a little Spoonflower fabric of the hand-drawn repeat pattern from the back of my book cover, and TA DA. She made me an amazing 1950s style dress (with pockets!) and fancy T-shirt! (I made the skirt. You maybe can't tell in the photo, but you could probably tell in real life. I'm not so good at sewing.)
And THEN, because of FABULOUSNESS, I commissioned my pal Nora to make me an amazing Relish tunic for the tour! She screenprinted a little fork/knife/spoon drawing I did in GOLD onto a lovely tunic the color of my book cover, and it looks GORGEOUS. You can see the concept photo I sent to her, and the accompanying shot she sent back of the finished product (SO ACCURATE).
I'm pretty excited/nervous about my tour. Now I'm gonna be excited/nervous IN STYLE!
