> [@DaveRaver](#): > > I’m not a big believer in astrology, but this description of Ophiuchus (Nov. 29 - Dec. 17) resonates more with me than Sagittarius. It was part of the original zodiac before it was simplified to 12 signs. I’m a booster for Ophiuchus getting its day. The first time I heard about it is from the game Final Fantasy Tactics, where it was a 13th hidden Zodiac-based boss demon. > [@Elmer\_J.Fudd](#): > > Luckily, California hasn’t seen any signs of the Zodiac since the 1970s. He moved to Texas and joined Senate. Then to throw everyone off, he committed these crimes from within the womb. ---
