	Reviving Ophiuchus - 1
		phiuchus The Serpent Holder is a three-part constellation patiently waiting for somebody to notice him space-walking on the plane of the ecliptic, known to astrologers as "the belt of the zodiac." He consists of the body of a man and a snake in two parts: Serpens Cauda (the tail) and Serpens Caput (the head).

		In this connection, the recent focus by astronomers on the existence of Ophiuchus on the ecliptic and the fact that some astrologers are reportedly acknowledging and reading him may be the herald of that change.
