Also check general chat, there's already a bunch of threads. And one or two in natal.

Hi, I mean this in the kindest, most respectful way, but there are many threads on this, old and new, and many of them are very active; I'm writing in a few of them. I think you'll get good responses there. Firstly, keep watching New Posts, if that fails, you'll find them in the search area. But like I say, we're writing in existing threads on exactly this several times a day so you'll find good debate!

You will also find a thread on Ophiuchus on the Skyscript forum and several on the Astrodienst forum. BTW, Ophiuchus is not the "13th sign." You can find out why on these other threads.

I considered starting a thread in this forum on this topic, but I didn't have any new information to provide. The 13-sign zodiac is a tradition and should be regarded as such, just like the 12-sign zodiac. In the same way that the tropical and sidereal zodiacs (both 12-sign) can describe the same Truth in different ways, so can the 13-sign zodiac. It is not mutually exclusive with the systems we already use. It is simply a different system. It can be made useful, I'm sure, but this is a R&D forum. The only reason to post something about it here is to offer methods that could make it useful. Perhaps dhundhun could help us out?
