Tonight, 16 February 2016, takes place the transit of the Sun in Aquarius where it will remain for about 24 days. Then it passes in Pisces on March 12, 2016 at 00:50. As we have explained here in this web site the dates that the Sun transits to the Zodiac Signs have changed and a 13th sign has been inserted in the Sun's path in the Sky: Ophiuchus. The Zodiac sign of the 90% of the world's population has changed, which becomes gradually known and widly accepted by more people.
On the other side many people associate the sign change with character change which is totally wrong. People do not change. Only the way astrology is practiced and continiusly evolving changes after it approximates more closely to the scientific data.

History
Ophiucus lies between the constellations of Hercules and Scorpio, and the head of Serpens as far as its tale. Its southern part lies within the galactic plane.
According to mythology, Ophiucus is identified with Asclepius, the renowned physician of antiquity. The close association between Asclepius and the snake is due to the fact that snakes represented wisdom, rejuvenation, and the power of the discovery of new healing herbs.
Asclepius was educated and received instruction from his father Apollo and the centaur Chiron; he was the first doctor and served in the Argonaut campaign in this capacity. When he returned from the journey he was even considered capable of raising the dead.
