Astrology of the 13 Signs of the Zodiac: Ophiuchus the New Sign of the Zodiac Circle

Vasilis Kanatas (Goodreads Author)

4.12 · Rating details · 17 ratings · 9 reviews

Astrology of the 13 Signs of the Zodiac is a book which explains a new theory in this ancient field of study. It was prompted by the fact that Western Astrology has outlived its lifetime and its elements have been rendered obsolete by its cousin, the science of Astronomy. The precession of the equinoxes, that is, the movement of the point of intersection of the celestial e ...more

Astrology has always fascinated us as an ancient study, with the signs of the Zodiac shaping our lives and influencing our thoughts. Not only are we intrigued and led by our specific signs (connected to our birth date) but we are constantly aware of how our chosen traits, individuality and characteristics can alter and define our actions and ultimately mold our futures. This hand illustrated compact volume with its striking uniqueness will stand out on any bookshelf, being something quite origin Astrology has always fascinated us as an ancient study, with the signs of the Zodiac shaping our lives and influencing our thoughts. Not only are we intrigued and led by our specific signs (connected to our birth date) but we are constantly aware of how our chosen traits, individuality and characteristics can alter and define our actions and ultimately mold our futures. This hand illustrated compact volume with its striking uniqueness will stand out on any bookshelf, being something quite original and fascinating. The introduction and prologue informs the reader on the science behind the planets within our galaxy and the fundamental workings of basic astrology that I found truly absorbing and insightful. Each section is spilt in accordance with the specific thirteen different signs of the zodiac, going into such depth and details as to enlighten you. Complete with in depth diagrams that are self explanatory and the most striking, eye-catching photographs of each planet this book is something to treasure and cherish. The use of diagrams and photographs, charts and comprehensive explanation bring the subject matter to life, in an enthralling way that makes for an exciting, gripping read. Unable to put this book down I was swept away by the author’s accomplished, fluid writing style, which is a testament to how knowledgeable he is on such a vast subject.

This insightful read penetrates ones own feelings with such intensity and profundity as to amaze, enchant and mesmerize. Thought-provoking to the core this universal book will reach out to all kinds of reader, who enjoy something a little bit different that will make you ponder and wonder. I am most privileged to have read something of such high caliber hence I cannot enthuse enough about Vasilis Kanatas who has exceeded all expectations, surpassing initial expectations with a most remarkable book. I urge those readers who have not added this to their bookshelves to do so, as it is highly readable and most unequivocal.

What we knew up to now, is that Astrology was dealing with 12 Zodiac Signs. Some sporadic attemps were made by various authors to establish a 13 Zodiac Astrological theory. None of them was successful till now.
With this book Vasilis Kanatas is founding a new system of 13 Zodiac Astrology on scientific data. I believe that 13 Zodiac Astrology is here to stay and prevail in this ancient field of study.
I enjoyed the book very much and I recommend it to all the people who love Astrology. It is also ...more

I really appreciated the prologue. It helped me understand the fundamental working of the basic astrology and the planets within our galaxy. Unable to put the book down, I was completely taken in by the author's writing style. This book pierces one's thoughts with such intensity to make the reader ponder.

I am grateful to have read this book and only wish I could have shared this with my father who would have enjoyed the caliber of this book. I LOVED this book and treasure it.

This books describes a new modern point of view for Astrology. It is actually a new theory which contains 13 Zodiac Constellations. According to this theory my Zodiac Sign has changed from Pisces to Aquarius and about 90% of the traits described for me are suiting my character.

A fair attempt to turn an intuitive art into a rational subject. The section on Ophiuchus was interesting, although a greater focus on studying this 13th zodiac sign would have added to the text.

Book Review: Astrology of 13 Signs of the Zodiac: An Interesting Insight About Zodiacs

Astrology is an interesting subject as far as most of the people are concerned. During my college days I read Linda Goodman’s Sun Signs many a times and every time I used to extract a different kind of information about various zodiacs. Astrology of the 13 Signs of the Zodiac: Ophiuchus the New Sign of the Zodiac Circle by Vasilis Kanatas is equally interesting book that goes further into depth to throw an extra piece of light on astrology. For a very long time astrology based on sun signs talked about 12 zodiacs or 12 sun signs. Existence and significance of 13th sun sign then started emerging out lately. Astrology has been an age old concept probably popular in all countries. As per astrology, the position of various planets put a large impact on our life. Not only these sun signs influence our lives but also impacts on the things happening around us.

The time and date of birth of any person determines the personality, future and other traits of that person’s life. The book talks about the science and philosophy behind the planets and their positions in that put their impact on planet earth. This book instead of talking about twelve zodiacs discloses reality about thirteen zodiacs. There are plenty of diagrams, illustrations and insights to prove the existence of thirteenth zodiac and its impact on the life of human beings. If you have interest in zodiacs and sun signs, this book is certainly going to be a good read for you but even if you don’t have interest in astrology and zodiacs, still this book can be an engrossing read for you because of the fluent writing and interestingly explained subject. One this is certain that the knowledge of thirteen zodiacs is new for all of us and that is what makes this book more interesting and a must read for all of us.

Though there have been some stories in the past too regarding the thirteenth sun sign but none of those writings were convincible or illustrated well enough to prove the case. In Astrology of the 13 Signs of the Zodiac: Ophiuchus the New Sign of the Zodiac Circle, Vasilis Kanatas has been successful in attaining that success in a remarkable manner. ...more
