For Ophiuchus we have a term and definition in Astrology.

Ophiuchus (Astrology)

The Serpent-Bearer, the so-called "13th Sign" of the Zodiac. Ophiuchus was one of the 48 constellations listed by Ptolemy, but was never considered a Sign of the Zodiac. The zodiacal Signs are particular divisions of the circle of the ecliptic into 12 equal parts of 30° each, based on the seasonal changes marked by the Equinoxes and the Solstices. Despite their names, the positions of the stellar constellations nowadays have no direct connection with the Signs, at least not in Western Tropical Astrology (compare Sidereal Zodiac).
