The 13th. House (star sign).

[lord69]

I know there are now 12 houses of the horoscope but where there not 13 at one time and would anyone know what was the 13th. house (star sign) known as?

If you do a google search for "13th star sign" you'll see a ton of stuff on orphiucs and whether it is or isn't.

At the end of the day the boundries between the constellations are pretty arbitary anyway so a bunch of people arguing about whether there are 12 or 13 is a bit like the Lilliputians fighting over whether you should open an egg from the big or little end!

bear in mind also that constellations don't actually exist. They're thought of as 'groups' of stars, but they aren't, they're just independent stars zillions of light years apart that just happen to appear in the same part of the sky when seen from Earth.

Spelling is actually Ophiuchus.

I had heard it was arachnia, the spider.
