There's been rumours about a new constellation "Ophiuchus", the snake bearer, being intoduced in the Western Horoscope this 2011.
I honestly don't know if this is a hoax to gain popularity for astronomers or associated people, but i DO know that i am not really happy with the change! Imagine, you live your whole life as a, for example, Saggitarian in my case, to find that you are actually a Scorpio??? (no offence to Scorpians intended). There are people who are addicted to their horoscope readings as much as i am addicted to facebook. Where do these people turn to?
Anyway, reading about the story of Ophiuchus has been pretty interesting. Im going to quote directly from the site here:
"The constellation of Ophiuchus is the only sign of the Zodiac which is linked to a real man. This man lived in ancient Egypt around the 27th century BCE, and his name was Imhotep" :)
And that is why medical logos are always symbolised as snakes/serpents. They are to represent Imhotep who brought the art-of-healing to mankind.
