It is one of the 88 modern constellations and is recognized for its unique shape, resembling a figure with outstretched arms. Ophiuchus is sometimes referred to as the "Serpent Bearer" because it is associated with the nearby constellation Serpens, which represents the serpent. In astrology, Ophiuchus is sometimes considered the 13th zodiac sign, although it is not officially recognized in the traditional zodiac system.
