What ⛎️ means
Ophiuchus is a real constellation, and the Sun passes through it between Scorpio and Sagittarius. Because of this, some people call it the 13th sign and claim it for birthdays roughly from late November to mid December. Most Western and Indian astrology still uses only 12 signs, so ⛎ is often sent with curiosity or as a joke, such as 'wait, is my sign changed?'. The tone is usually light and playful. It matches the other purple zodiac emojis like ♐ and ♏.
On Instagram and TikTok
