Ophiuchus

Ophiuchus, the Serpent Bearer, is the thirteenth constellation on the Sun's path, between Scorpio and Sagittarius. At 12.36° it is the narrowest band on the wheel. Gate 43 sits wholly inside it, Gate 1 lies almost entirely within it, and it shares Gate 14 with Sagittarius. The twelve-sign zodiac leaves it out, so it has no season, element or modality. The figure is Asclepius, the healer of Greek myth: a story attached to the stars, not a character for the band.
